Trent Lamar Jackson, a 52-year-old nephew on husband Joe
Jackson's side of the family, worked as a driver for the
86-year-old Jackson family matriarch.
A lawyer for Katherine Jackson said in court documents filed in
Los Angeles Superior Court this week that she was afraid of her
nephew and fears he will use credit cards and other financial
information about her for his personal gains.
"Mrs. Jackson has to hide in her closet to speak to her kids so
she can speak freely," the court papers said. "Trent bullies
Mrs. Jackson into submission."
"She has had enough, her health is fragile and she is tired of
being frightened," the documents said.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Wednesday issued a
temporary restraining order against Lamar Jackson and ordered
him to move out of the guest house at Katherine Jackson's home
in Calabasas, near Los Angeles, and stay at least 100 yards
(meters) away from her.
A court hearing on the matter has been scheduled for March 1.
Lamar Jackson could not be reached for comment.
Michael Jackson, one of Katherine Jackson's 10 children, died in
2009 at age 50 of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.
