Catch up on the top stories from yesterday and others that unraveled while you slept – and are still buzzing on today’s Entertainment Roundup.

“Janet Jackson felt like a prisoner in her own home…”

This we know because Janet’s brother and former Jackson 5 member, Randy Jackson spoke in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine.

Randy says his sister who split from her billionaire husband, Wissam Al Mana in April this year “suffered verbal abuse and felt like a prisoner in her own home” especially while she was pregnant.

It’s the first time we’ve come close to knowing why the marriage ended. Randy told PEOPLE, “It came on later in the relationship, verbal abuse and being [made to feel like] a prisoner in her own home. No pregnant woman needs to go through being called a bitch everyday. There were things like that. That’s what she went through”

Janet and Wissam welcomed their son, Eissa in January and Janet later moved out of their London home.

The star singer who has resumed her world tour has reportedly broken down in tears a number of times backstage and Randy says it’s because the harassment has not stopped.

Wissam’s attorneys responded to Randy’s claims stating that the Qatari businessman will not “dignify these particular and deeply hurtful allegations with a response”.

 

Richard Mofe-Damijo just kicked off filming his first television series

Just as he rightly puts it in his Instagram caption where he made the announcement on Tuesday, you’d assume the veteran actor has had a lot of production works in the bag.

But surprisingly, this is his first and as he describes it, “It has been an uphill journey as I am as challenged if not even more so than most people who have taken up similar ventures.”

Because RMD closed his note with the line, “Welcome to the wonderful world of The X Family”, we’re tempted to think that the television series will be titled ‘The X Family’.
