CORRECTION: The source of the story, TMZ, have since published a retraction about the claims made in their report. They state: "Janet Jackson did not slap or verbally abuse Paris Jackson during a confrontation at the Jackson family home in Calabasas last week.
"Although we believed the story to be true when we published it, we have now determined it was not correct ... Janet did not slap or otherwise touch Paris, nor did she verbally abuse her."
Tensions in the Jackson family have reached boiling point, after an extraordinary video caught the moment Janet Jackson reportedly slapped her late brother's daughter Paris and allegedly called her a "spoilt little bitch" during a row.
Janet is said to have stormed Paris' home which she shares with Michael's other children, Prince and Blanket, along with her brothers Randy and Jermaine in an attempt to 'ambush' the children.

Police were called to the house after the row, in which Paris was reported to have struck Janet back after she snatched her mobile phone, telling her: "This is our house. Not the Jackson family house. Get the f*** out!", according to TMZ.
Jermaine and Randy were also allegedly involved in a physical altercation with their brother Joe's son Trent, who has sided with Paris, Prince and Blanket.
Police have since confirmed they responded to a call about a family disturbance at Katherine's home on Monday afternoon.
"Deputies determined that a physical altercation had occurred of misdemeanor battery," said L.A. Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitmore. "It involved members of the Jackson family. A report was taken. No arrests were made, and the investigation is ongoing."
In another statement issued by Michael's executors, they spoke of how they were trying to protect the children from "bullying" and "greed".
"We are acutely concerned about the welfare of Mrs. Jackson, and most particularly with Michael's minor children," they said.
"We are concerned that we do what we can to protect them from undue influences, bullying, greed, and other unfortunate circumstances."
This all comes after their guardian, Michael's mother Katherine, left town for nine days without contact, and it is believed the fight erupted over the late singer's $500m will, in which his children received everything and his siblings nothing.

An attorney for Katherine Jackson also issued a statement seeming to confirm the reported version of events, which read: "After exiting their vehicles, Jackson family members ran up to Michael's children as they yelled and began to aggressively grab at the cellphones in their hands."
