I´m not defending him, but what´s consider child abuse nowadays was consider normal parenting back then. Pretty much every person i know beyond the age of 50 was beaten with a belt or something like that when they misbehaved.

in addition to the older boys and joe bringing groupies back to the hotel as the jackson 5 were touring and having loud sex in the same room as little michael> the violence was just part of the hell mj must have gone through. I mean it all makes sense if you think about classic children of abuse. Michael had a low tiny timid voice he used usually and his views of relationships with young boys and also everything else was skewed and involved absolutly no ideas of boundries or normalness. Joe Jackson and Katherine are equal pieces of shit to me. Having a mother stand there as you get beaten my your father or vice versa must be the most horrible thing in the world. I dont care who you are when you lose the very place your supposed to feel safe ( with your parents ) then you are fucked up. and what sucks is since i dont believe in god i feel like nothing is going to happen to this douchebag, grrrrrrr.

i seem to recall hearing that michael got the worst of it. so of course he would have tried harder to please.
and while i'm not a fan of how he lived his life (jesus juice, anyone?), it's sad that all the success in the world was not enough to please his father.
JJ needs to STFU and lose the earring, BTW. it's not helping.

2009-07-20T18:02:53.115-07:00

Monalicious I didn't know Jermaine beat up on his ex. Was it Hazel or was it someone else?

Also Randy went to jail (plead guilty) for beating up his wife.

Marlon, Maureen and Tito are the only three who seem normal.

Joe Jackson's a c*nt. I loathe him.

2009-07-20T16:07:11.825-07:00

Latoya spoke about the abuse in her book. She said Michael got the worst of it. Plus, Jermaine's ex wrote a book about her life with him, and she talked about Joe and Katherine not stopping Jermaine from beating on her.

One sick, twisted bunch.

2009-07-20T15:24:31.464-07:00

Wow. If he considers his parenting to be "the right way" to do it, I wonder where he would actually draw the line between exploitation and non-exploitation of children.

2009-07-20T12:55:31.933-07:00

He's a scuzzy sleazeball. Disgusting to the 10th degree. You have to wonder why some people die so young and scum like this are still around.

2009-07-20T12:40:15.170-07:00

What I don't understand is why is it none of the other Jackson's ever spoke up against their Dad? They are all grown adults now, are they that scared of their Daddy still? Really?

What I'd also like to know is why are they such a plastic surgery happy bunch? Who put it in their heads that they weren't lovely the way they were?

Well, I can't understand a fucking word he says.

2009-07-20T11:15:48.241-07:00

Montana, I bet there wasn't a day that went by that most of those kids WISHED they were a poor family living in Gary. Money isn't everything.

2009-07-20T11:12:15.172-07:00

I think Joe does believe the lies that spew from his mouth, which is sick yet sad. The bit about Katherine is disgusting. The way the kids interact with Joe says it all. His promotion of his grandkids after MJ's death is another example. I hope for all of the young kids in that family that Joe is kept as far away from them as possible.

2009-07-20T11:01:47.403-07:00

Also; what is it with this family and their platic surgery? They must be the most heavily operated family in the world!

2009-07-20T10:49:53.682-07:00

i saw something the other day that said:

"Maybe Michael Jackson's children shouldn't be looked after by the same people who looked after Michael Jackson."

Joe Jackson scares the shit out of me. I agree with Merrick's assessment.

Was it just the beating that made Michael so, um, unusual?

i think he, aside from being a sicko, is also in such deep denial that he may actually believe that he didn't really beat his children.

so sad.

Lie Fest '09 ain't over. That monster's bound to spew more bullshit til the day he dies.

@MM - the ends do not justify the means. Michael's success does not excuse abuse.

2009-07-20T10:38:47.365-07:00

I can not even look at this man and his sharpie pen eyebrows. Everything about him screams liar and sociopath. I watched part of the interview in between innings of the Phillies game and was completely dumbfounded at the way he answered these questions. Seriously, Katherine was the beater? He would have been more on point if he said that Katherine was the enabler.

In all fairness, one man's beat is another man's d...

2009-07-20T10:37:18.318-07:00

In all fairness, one man's beat is another man's discipline. Joe Jackson was a no joke type of father and if it wasn't for him those kids would still be in Gary Indiana living in poverty.

2009-07-20T10:36:09.893-07:00

In my world, everyone did spank their kids (mid-60's to mid-70's era) growing up.

If we hadn't been spanked when we misbehaved we'd have been under the jail by our teenage years.

Mom had a wicked way with the fly swatter! But Dad only spanked me with a belt once, though, and only after I pulled a real doozy.

I understand Joe had a bit heavier tactic than most of the Moms in my world growing up, though!

2009-07-20T10:34:01.583-07:00

I hope this pig gets an express ticket to hell. He's the kind of man that says, "I didn't punch her, I just slapped her with an open hand." You know he beat those kids within an inch of their lives, all because he's a wannabe musician who couldn't make it. He belongs in jail.
