JOE JACKSON ACCUSED OF THREATENING MAN OVER LOVE-CHILD CLAIMS

In documents obtained by TMZ.com, Ronnie Newt alleges Joseph and his son Randy threatened him after he approached them with information he claims proves Michael Jackson has a 12-year-old illegitimate son called Prince Michael Malachi Jet.

Newt's seeking a restraining order against the pair from San Francisco County Superior Court, alleging, he "was told to stay out of the M.J. love child story. That some one could get kill (sic) for that kind of money."

When approached by TMZ, Joseph Jackson insisted the allegations are false, adding, "I haven't even seen this guy since the '80s."
