People Magazine Daily is reporting that Michael Jackson’s oldest son, Omer Bhatti, is trying to convince Michael’s three younger children that he is their father.

Omer has recently been staying with Prince, Paris, and Blanket at their Encino, California home, and a source says he has been telling the children to call him Michael. He has also apparently been introducing himself as Michael when meeting new people. The source also claims that Prince in particular has been vulnerable to Omer’s claims, and has even started to believe Omer is his real father instead of Michael.

Many people didn’t even realize Michael Jackson had an older child, but last July ABC News reported that Joe Jackson, Michael’s father, confirmed that Omer is Michael’s biological son.

The source says that Omer’s actions are becoming disturbing and detrimental to the children.
