"&lt;strong&gt;{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style=\"display: none;\" alt=\"072512_katherine_jackson_nightline_launch_v2\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/07/26/072512-katherine-jackson-nightline-launch-v2.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katherine Jackson&lt;/strong&gt; is challenging the court ruling that temporarily stripped her of guardianship of &lt;strong&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/strong&gt;'s children -- and claiming she never wanted TJ Jackson to step into the role ... despite court documents stating otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a taped segment for ABC's &lt;strong&gt;\"Nightline\"&lt;/strong&gt; ... Katherine read prepared comments from a notebook, and said -- \"Their ruling in court today was about the guardianship, and I think it was based on a bunch of lies. But I have a good idea who's doing that ... who's behind it.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katherine went on to say she spoke to TJ last night and \"told him it wasn't necessary for him to go down and sign up for guardianship, but I don't know who instructed him to do that ... 'cause he wanted me to come home before that happened.\"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;It's a strange statement because Katherine seems to be acknowledging she knew TJ was going to file for guardianship ... but not before she got home.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;In fact, as we reported earlier, TJ stated in court docs that Katherine \"supported\" him taking steps to protect Michael's kids.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The whole TV segment seemed almost like a hostage situation as Katherine was surrounded by &lt;strong&gt;Janet&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Jermaine&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Rebbie&lt;/strong&gt;, Rebbie's daughter and, for some reason, the marketing director for the Tucson spa where Katherine's been for more than a week. A local news reporter was in the room, but was not allowed to ask questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for leaving Prince, Paris, and Blanket alone in L.A. -- Katherine claimed she left instructions about who was to take care of them while she was gone ... though she didn't name anyone specifically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 82-year old also said during her absence her assistant had been keeping in touch with her grandchildren -- and that she didn't personally call \"because I just gave up my phone. I didn't want to have any phone calls.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
