ROWE FILES SUIT AGAINST ALLEGED CONFIDANTE

DEBBIE ROWE has filed a defamation lawsuit against the woman she allegedly emailed stating she was only fighting for custody of her two children with MICHAEL JACKSON to avoid ruining her reputation.

Rowe's alleged confidante Rebecca White claimed to have received an email from Jackson's ex earlier this month (Jul09), indicating she had no intention of fighting for custody of the eldest two kids, but felt she had to because of the level of public interest.

In one email Rowe was purported to have wrote, "My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the welfare of the children. Do I want the kids? Hell no. Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely."

White has told several media outlets that Rowe only launched a battle to gain custody of her two biological children with Jackson - Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11 - to save face and get her hands on some of Jackson's cash.

White told the New York Post, "The motivation is money. I really have to be honest... If the children aren't the ones she wants, what else will she gain from it?"

Rowe immediately hit out at the allegations, and threatened White with legal action, with a statement from her legal team saying, "Our firm has sent Ms. White a letter disputing the truth of her statements and demanding that she make retraction in order to avoid legal action."

However, White failed to retract her comments, and pushed her allegations further by appearing on U.S. news show Extra on Wednesday (16Jul09) to talk about the alleged emails once again.

And Rowe's lawyers have kept to their word - filing suit in Los Angeles on Thursday (17Jul09), suing White for defamation, according to TMZ.com.

In the lawsuit, Rowe insists the emails are fake.
