Although she had previously intended to attend Michael Jackson’s memorial tomorrow, ex-wife Debbie Rowe has since changed her mind.

“The onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction to an event that should focus exclusively on Michael’s legacy. Debbie will continue to celebrate Michael’s memory privately,” her attorney Marta Almli said in a statement.

Judging by Rowe’s reaction to the annoying paparazzi in the video above, that decision was probably for the best. Then again, a live butt-kicking would have been kind of interesting.
