Debbie Rowe broke down in tears as she watched her daughter Paris' emotional eulogy on the televised memorial tribute to Michael Jackson.

X17 cameras snapped Rowe burst out from the door of her home, crying, at the EXACT moment Paris Jackson was speaking to the audience about her love for her father.

Friends of Rowe comforted her as she wiped her eyes. An X17 photographer tells us:

"Debbie was distraught; she couldn't stop crying. We could even hear her crying from where we were. Her friends were hugging her but for a few minutes she couldn't even control herself. You could see she was really in pain."

Why are Debbie's maternal instincts just now kicking in? Does seeing her daughter without Michael bother her so much that she's changed her mind about caring for her children and will now seek custody???
