Situations like this makes ya go, hmm.
Jermaine Jackson was slapped in the not-too-distant past with a court-ordered child support payment of $3,000 a month for his two children with ex-wife Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza.
The singer cried broke and petitioned the court to reduce the monthly obligation to a mere $215, because he claimed the original amount was simply not doable.
Now the crooner is crying a river once again, stating he was robbed out of nearly $200,000 worth of valuables.
According to TMZ, the heist occurred suspiciously, and perhaps conveniently, just one month after Jackson claimed he couldn't meet his child-support payments.
Jackson and his wife, Halina Rashid, filed a police report with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, claiming they were robbed of a huge Louis Vuitton bag that contained pricey watches, furs, designer duds and other trinkets. The 56-year-old allegedly noticed the bag was missing around mid-September, the day after he returned home from a vacation.
Jackson told police that he and his wife had left a door unlocked at his Calabasas mansion the night before the theft occurred.
According to Sgt. Mark Bock, "There are no clear leads or suspect information at this time," he told the New York Post.
Jermaine, in the words of your brother Michael:
"You been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth criminal."
