Producing on Living with the Jacksons (2014) – “And Jermaine Is Gonna Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate”

February 19, 2021

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

Okay, one of my favorite memories is this incredibly silly thing, which is that Jermaine Jackson is my nemesis. Like, in the most playful and silly way ever. But still. 😉

I don’t even know if he knows I’m his nemesis haha.

But basically, he wasn’t on our show (though he would’ve been welcome to be, to my understanding). But he wanted his own show, and he didn’t necessarily want a show that followed his ex-wife.

So, he would learn (usually from his kids) what place(s) we’d be filming. And then he’d poach them! He’d offer more money or access/fame, etc. And I’d have to scramble at the last minute to find a different car dealership, etc.

I’d be waking up in cold sweats at 2:30 in the morning, reaching over for my phone lighting up, wondering what Jermaine had done now. Chloe and I never slept.

Anyway, there were other small things. But I don’t need to make this sound like a complete Jermaine Jackson hate post. I don’t hate him. I laugh about our rivalry that to him was probably a rivalry with a completely nameless stranger. Well, hello strange nemesis. It was me 🙂

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
