The Jackson family spokesman told GMTV that Jackson may have given Lester the impression that he was the father but that was not in fact the case.
Oxman said: "The thing I always heard from Michael was that Michael was the father of these children, and I believe Michael.
"Mark Lester is a friend of mine - he is a straight shooter. I think what Mark said is what he understands - he was told these things. That's what Michael wanted it to be. But Michael always told me he was the papa."
He added: "I think that Michael was the dad, but Mark sure tells it straight. Mark is a man of his word... he was the godfather of these children. But I have to go with Michael because Michael told me he was the dad."
Former child actor Lester has offered to take a paternity test to discover if he is biologically related to Jackson's daughter.
