Michael Jackson's mum remains in London after refusing to return to Los Angeles

Katherine Jackson 'is refusing to return to Los Angeles' because she is so afraid of her nephew-in-law Trent Lamar Jackson.

Katherine Jackson is so afraid of her nephew-in-law Trent Lamar Jackson she is refusing to return home to Los Angeles.

The 86-year-old matriarch - who is the mother of the late Michael Jackson - has told a court she is currently "under a doctor's care" in London, England, "in part because of the stress this situation with Trent is causing me".

In February, Katherine was granted a temporary restraining order against Trent after alleging he had abused her and that he had neglected her health.

She said in her filing to the court: "I believe he has put cameras and bugs in my home, so the only place I can try and have a private conversation is in my bathroom."

Katherine also fears Trent has copied the key to her bedroom door, meaning she has started getting dressed in her closet because she fears he will walk in on her unexpectedly, according to TMZ.

Her filing explained: "I used to be very social with my friends, like playing Scrabble, walking around in the park, sharing meals, but Trent has given them various reasons why I am not available."

Trent, 52, has been living in the guest house of Katherine's Calabasas, California, home after previously serving as her personal driver for a number of years.

Their relationship has soured in recent times, with Katherine accusing him of bullying her and monitoring her behaviour.

Meanwhile, Trent - who is the son of Joe Jackson's half-brother - has tried to have the temporary restraining order lifted, with his lawyer insisting he is not a threat to Katherine.

Under the restraining order, Trent is required to stay in the guest house and is barred from coming within 100 yards of Katherine. However, the judge denied his request on Wednesday (March 1) and ordered another court hearing on March 23.
