OMG.

His final comment was:

"it's been about a week since I saw him last, he was livin then"

MrsSpringsteen

Yeah way to go to involve Al Sharpton and to have a press conference

I refuse to watch

elevated_u2_fan

Does Al Sharpton seriously have nothing better to do?

Gee what are the odds that he was the source of many of Michael's problems?

Jeesh that interview was awful the man is nothing better than a cockroach!

I found something interesting Joe Jackson's illegitimate daughter (Janet + Michael's half sis) - The Luxe Lounge

Maybe the family better set up another clause that The vomit inducing J Jackson doesn't get his hands on anything to do with Micheal

dabiggestu2fan

All Sharpton and Joe Jackson are both douchbags! I could never stand Al Sharpton and can't stand Joe Jackson more then ever now. Both of these guys don't care about Michael! Al just wants to be the hero and Joe just wants to make more money and fame! Bloody Shame!!!

Just a thought, but in a house that huge that he was renting, wouldn't one think there are security cameras throughout??..possibly even in the bedroom so they would be able to see exactly what happened that day??

Pictures from just 2 days before his passing at rehearsal. Good lord, he still had it. You can just see it even a still photo. You can't fake that or learn it. It was just in him. I'm guessing the last pic. might have been a "Smooth Criminal" rehearsal. It looks similar to his outfit in the video.

wow,

eveyone is hating on old Joe Jackson, now

Joe Jackson like Michael Jackson is a mixed bag

No one wants any mention of MJ's flaws

so swing away on Joe

there is a lot to admire about Joe Jackson

MrsSpringsteen

Promoting anything when his son isn't even buried isn't one of them

I don't know the guy personally but I find that disgusting. So sue me.

I'm well aware of MJ's flaws as described in the media. I don't know what's fact and what's fiction. But I tend to believe that his father was abusive.

deep

MJ has been accused of child abuse, too.

Joe had like 8 or 9 kids before he was 30.

he worked hard, all his life, did not go on food stamps or live in government housing.

where do you think MJ or Janet got that work ethic?
that eveyone keeps going on about?

U2isthebest

That's fine and good for adults. But Michael had that work ethic forced on him when he was 10 years old. The message he got from Joe Jackson was that he was only worthwhile when he was working. If he wanted to play or be a kid, he couldn't because there was always money to make for good ol' Joe.

MrsSpringsteen

Yes I know about MJ being accused of abuse. Don't know if that's true or not. Abused kids sometimes follow that path themselves.

I don't give a damn about the work ethic. It doesn't matter in the slightest when your son has died and you go out promoting crap. Have some dignity and respect. It certainly fits in with a theme of using your kids for cash cows.

MrPryck2U

There's a reason Joe banged out of all his kids in rapid order. So someday, he wouldn't have to work another day in his life. Looks like his plan worked thanks to Michael and Company. Especially Michael. Without him, the Jacksons wouldn't have gone anywhere. Michael has been the family's meal ticket since he was ten years old.

Michael and the rest of the family got their work ethic thanks to Joe beating the piss out of them.

Michael has been accused of child abuse. With Joe, it was proven.

Now, granted Deep, you could be messing with our heads with these wacky statements and just doing it to get a rise, which sometimes is fun. But, if you're not, you're scaring the shit out of me.
