RANDY JACKSON is fuming over a charity event honouring his brother MICHAE L on Saturday (26Jun10), insisting he is "sick of people trying to exploi t" his famous family.
The Forever Michael tribute evening was held in Los Angeles exactly a y ear and a day after the Thriller hitmaker passed away.
The gala was organised by executives at The Jackson Family Foundation, a charity set up by the star’s father Joe to fund a Jackson family museum in their native Gary, Indiana.

And he’s called for his parents to disassociate themselves from the cau se, branding the Saturday fundraiser "fraud".
In a series of posts on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "Let me be cle ar, there’s no legitimate ‘Jackson Family Foundation’ that my brothers & sisters are aware of. As far as I am concerned, tonight’s event is a frau d.
"I know my parents would not be involved if they really knew the charac ters they have aligned themselves with… I am doing my best to get my pa rents to understand who the people are around them.
"How can you raise money for a foundation that has not been legally for med? It is disrespectful to this family & an insult (to) the public & fan s. I am sick of people trying to exploit & take advantage of my parents a nd then letting our family take the blame.
"I don’t mean to be negative all the time but please understand my bro (brother) shouldn’t be dead & I get protective when people try 2 (sic) ex ploit us, esp (especially) now."
