*Katherine Jackson’s rep says that rumors the 87-year-old suffered a “sudden and devastating” stroke last weekend aren’t true.
The original report was published on Monday by RadarOnline, stating the family matriarch “has the family around her 24/7 since the stroke.”
“The story is bulls—,” said longtime Jackson family publicist and friend Steve Manning. “Mrs. Jackson is fine. She’s with (daughter) Rebbie. I don’t know where they get this fake news.”
According to NYDN, multiple Jackson family members state that Katherine has received visitors in recent days at her home in Los Angeles, but she’s healthy and fully expects to see her 88th birthday in three weeks.

One of Katherine’s nine children, who asked not to be named, also said their mom is in good shape and doesn’t want friends to worry.
“It’s not true, It’s a rumor,” said that Jackson sibling. “She’s fine.”
Genevieve Jackson, the 28-year-old daughter of Randy Jackson, posted on @geneviecejaxn: “Guys calm down! This isn’t true. Whoever put that story out is lying. She didn’t have a stroke and her health is definitely not failing. Katherine is okay!”
A third source, who’d sent best wishes on Facebook after catching wind of Katherine’s alleged health problem, wrote to Confidential contributor Flo Anthony that the posting was a mistake: “I spoke with a family member. I’ll take it down. Thanks Flo.”
