FIRST

I AGREE!!! THIS WOMAN TOOK LOTS OF $$$$ SO THAT SHE COULD GIVE MICHAEL THE CUSTODY OF THOSE KIDS! NOW, SHE JUST WANTS MORE $$$.

FEED THAT OLD WHITE HOE TO THE WOLVES!

Far be it for me to judge how someone grieves, but Daddy Joe came off bad, real bad, during that interview.

And Debbie can shut the hell up. It was her perogative to give those kids to MJ as a gift. Ok… well, she can’t just have em back. They don’t even know her! They prob know the Jackson’s more.

*the CNN interview*

No comments, good or bad. I just wish the family the best through this difficult time. Sorting out the details of the estate is hard enough. The children just adds to it all. I pray they just end up safe and loved because that’s the way MJ would have wanted it.

Nobody wants to hear about the inside details of the record deal. If you’re trying to retract the comments why go further into info we don’t want to know about.

Ebony/Jet all the questions they could have asked and it’s about a world tour.

The guy in the white hat is the Jackson 5′s old bodyguard from when they first started.

I try to hold off judgement on Joe. I know when my dad died I saw friends between his death and the funeral and I didn’t even mention to them that he died. I couldn’t talk about his death I was too afraid to break out crying in public.

LOVE STRONG BLACK MEN. DON CORNELIUS WAS RIGHT AL SHARPTON WILL FIGHT A BRICK! DON’T BE STUPID AND THROW ONE! AL AND JESSE ARE BROTHERS TAKING ON THE WORLD IN HONOR OF MICHAEL. WE GOTTA SHOW THEM SUPPORT BECAUSE THE MEDIA IS GRINDING ITS AX!

Wow…he said it Debbie….fall back, you ain’t got nothing to do with this here!

I CANNOT believe no one called out Joe “Shady” Jackson on his claim that he and his wife will do a great job raising Michael’s kids. The first question SHOULD have been – So, considering Michael has accused you of physical abuse, do you think he is rolling over in his grave thinking that you not only controlled and destroyed his childhood, but will control and destroy his children too? Too sad for words.

And WTF is Al “Shadier” Sharpton doing there? I don’t understand. There are few other ways to give yourself LESS credibility than bringing him along to stuff words in your mouth.

Tears. For everyone BUT Joe.

I see it coming. Rev. Al+Joe are trying to stack paper together.

Joe Jackson is getting on my last nerve. I know not everyone grieves the same way but he shows no emotions and had the nerve to talk about his new business venture. No wonder Michael never was close to him.

I hope Katherine is up to it because she is almost 80 years old, and doesn’t she have Randy and Jermaine’s family living with her already?

If Debbie does put in her bid to take custody of the children, she could be shady and bring up the fact that they are not biologically his.

all i have to say is wow. i heard this in the car this afternoon but its even looks worse than it sounds. god bless you michael jackson. and you know what michael loved his father – i really think that he (joe) thinks he’s doing the right thing. but it just isn’t coming out right. even in death “they” won’t leave him alone.

Debbie Rowe don’t have nothing coming… if she don’t want the whole world to open up a can of whoop-ass on her she better shut the hell. Now is not the time for that bull-shit…. she ain’t messing with Michael here now — she’s gotta go thru all of the Jackson and a bunch of MJs fans.

Joe sit down and morn the death of YOUR child..he hasnt burried his child and he is entertaining this drama publically. Handle MJ’s biz @ home NOT in the media

I think they best leave Debbie Rowes name out of things because if she gets mad all kinds of mess is gonna start coming out that they don’t want out I think, including whose DNA those kids have, and maybe don’t have.

C’mon err’body lets pray for Joe and his boys to shut the hell up in from of the camaras….

take a knee.

@Whut??

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I have no doubt that those kids are not his biologically.

I was embarrassed for Joe Jackson. Even Don Lemon said, “What the hell?” Yes, people grieve differently, but at least ACT like you are sorrowful for the son you lost. He’s talking about a record label? Something was very off about Joe. He rambled and seemed distracted.

Lord, what happened to my screen name?

Joe needs to hide his self and stop traipsing around like he isn’t the enemy. Michael’s fans don’t like you Joe so shut the f*ck up! You are the reason Mike was destroying his face. You called him names and beat him as a child and I am sure you allowed even worse things to happen to him!! Heartless demon!! He had NO protection from your greedy hands. His mother didn’t help either! Everyone wanted and took a piece of him now it is his time to expose you all for who you are…and in his death I am so sure much will be revealed! All the wrong that was done to him. RIP Michael you were truly loved!!

@Word to the Wise

We all slip up every once in awhile! I wont tell.

Does Al Sharpton actually pastor a church and if so how can his congregation have any level of respect or trust in him????

the sooner the family puts him in his place the better what i dont relize is why are they allowing him to torture micheal even after death through the media this is outragious and disturbing

oh i forgot to add puck his daddy

@Oshie Presents the King:

Who thinks that? That those are MJ’s kids?

Most people with common sense know that even though Michael chose to change himself on the outside, that that wouldnt constitute his DNA automatically transforming. Forget Kelly LeBrock! THAT would be weird science. lol

pimpin joe!!

I have no words for this old fool… im just sorry that mike died having this man as a father who cleary didn’t love him. Anyway i hope Janet is doing ok i know her and michael were close.

If there’s a slight possibility of money involved, or the opportunity for some shine…..who do you call?

*ghostbusters theme*

AL AND JESSE!!!! LOL

A few people have said this but I’ma say it again. What tha heck does Al Sharpton have to do with this! This it the Jackson family’s business its not a political rally dang!

Man I’ll miss the michael of 1969-1984

I just want to know if anybody in the Jackson family went to college!?!?! There had to be at least one academically sound person put of all of those children, nieces, nephews, in that family to get some higher education at Harvard or some other institution to be able to represent them.

Wow…. what a waste….

@ Kipp Kibbler

!!!! lol its true that man is so fast in people’s busines!!!

I don’t know about these two. And then, with them teaming up with Joe Jackson, doesnt make for a very good outcome.

I mean, I didn’t see Starsy and Hutch this often when President Barack Obama was running for his presidency. Especially, Jesse. He wanted to cut nuts off! Sheesh…..

But here you have an opportunity, much like the Dr. had when he decided to leave his practice. SMH

@Oshie:

I’m convinced you’re not white.

@Kami all day

Why would you suggest such a thing?

Why don’t i see grief in Joe’s eyes???

Sigh…

i pray that Michael’s Kids will be alright and i hope that everybody who is trying to make money off Mike’s pain, will BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!

@Oshie:

Well, in my opinion, in some of your comments, it seems that you are a little obvious in trying to make it seem like you are white.

Your comments warrant the idea that you are just pretending, and making certain comments for shock value.

But, I could be wrong.

I am as white as they come! (well I have an early summer tan)

@Oshie:

Okay. If you say so.

I was kinda hoping I had it nailed. lol

they should swap the kids with madonna for her kids, buy a couple more an start a new jackson 5

IMO…Michael would have found his calling with or without his abusive father. It is a fact that Michael had a God given talent…not because he was beat down by dear ol dad… but because he was meant to be great and share his talent and humility with the world. Joe Jackson has nothing to do with that! God has everything to do with it. Joe just happend to be the man who forced him to do something he would have done with or without him. Mike himself said that he loved what he did. Joe Jack get’s no love from me nor props!

Out of all those kids/people in that family it’s a real SHAME that nobody has the common sense to step-up and represent their family!!! I know that their grieving but it’s got be somebody besides Janet(I applaud her for her appearance at the BET awards tho)and Joe and his boys (Al&Jesse)to speak for them.

C’mon Jackson family…

@ oshie presents the king
Hey i’ll go you one better: i don’t believe Debbie Rowe is the children’s mother but rather a surrogate. I think Micheal obtained fertilized eggs from Poland and had them implanted into Debbie to carry for him. Those children look nothing like Debbie either! They are extremely fair skinned with very pale blond hair and blue eyes .Besides if Michael wanted to have white babies why pick Debbie? she ain’t no fine mama!!! jama

Katherine, please leave JOE he’s a disaster.

lol miss shay shay,but debbie was the skin bleach nurse,he wanted a discount maybe

What exactly did they hope to accomplish with that press conference? Sharpton comes out trying to excuse why Joe Jackson was promoting his new record label rather than being at home mourning with the rest of the family, and then Joe takes the microphone and starts pimping his record label again. WTF?! This only makes me believe every bad thing I have ever heard or read about Joe Jackson. I pray he does not in some way gain control of Michael’s music and assign it to his new label. Thank God I already own all of MJ’s albums and CD’s so he won’t make a dime off me.

And another thing….Joe Jackson needs to stop wearing that frickin’ earring. Any man who has surpassed middle age has no business wearing an earring. It just makes him look pathetic.

Im glad this topic came up i get my chance to express my DISGUST at how Joe Jackson has conducted himself in recent days.
People are sayin ‘people mourn in different ways’ let me tell u this is one big marketing opportunity for him. i think we know more about this wack-ass new ‘record label’ then his ‘grief’.
Jeri-curl Sharpton can STFU too.
Why dont they just let Jermaine do this? Joe is a walking disaster.
My condolences to Katherine and the children.

Sharpton is an old kookoo man. for one to be oh so black supreme, but still rock hair as str8 as an asian….

and Joe Jackson, well out of respect for Michael I will leave no comment on that man. Because im pretty sure Michael has now if he hasnt already, forgave his father. So God will take care of the rest, im just happy Michael doesnt have to put up with this BS anymore.

I HOPE THE KIDS HAVE TOUGH SKIN CUZ NOW IT’S WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD

…OK so this is the same man who used to make his kids vomit with fear (Oprah interview)
Had to say something.
Just hope he’s a bad communicator and is actualy a father in mourning so for that reason my condolences extend..
But seriously they need another family spokesman his coldness makes me uneasy.
Peace.

R.I.P Michael ‘Off The Wall’ is on repeat

Wow! How big of you to demean a man making statements in response to questions. Remember what you laugh at will make you cry one day.

RIP Michael Jackson.

FYI: Mrs. Katheryn Jackson has been granted temporary custody of the children.

I just want to say that I pray for her to have strength to endure what lies ahead.

Okay when the money was rolling in Micheal had nothing but white people around him. Is it me or when he went broke nothing but black people seem to be around him. His Dad would have never been given the chance to speak on TV. This is going to be a mess for a long time to come. I feel sorry for the kids and Mrs. Jackson.

First of all those are not michael’s biological kids and Debbie has the right to reclaim her kids now, not Katherine. Did u take notice on when Joe said that “the kids had not been around other kids” So I doubt that those kids even have any type of decent contact with them. Plus katherine and joe are a bit too old to take care of them!!! What kind of parent was michael to not even want them to have any contact with their mother, when he was not even their father!!! No matter how much money he paid her that was very selfish!!
_______________________________________________
Peaches,

Funny, you talk as if you knew Michael Jackson. Thats the mistake that everyone is making here. Reading some tabloid blog and then mouthin off. Ironically, that’s what ruined his life in the first place.

I did hear when Joe Jackson said that about them not being around other kids. MAYBE Michael did not bring them around THOSE kids, but there are plenty of photos with the children at birthday parties and interacting with OTHER children. Have you read any reports over the years of Debbie Rowe fighting for visitation or custody of those kids? Nope. Seems she was perfectly willing to be an egg donor, or whatever their arrangement was, so I don’t feel sorry for her. Chances are the kids don’t know her that well either so who says she deserves to parent them? I don’t know who they belong with, that’s not my place to say. But there is not one report that she is requesting custody so ppl are jumping the gun.

Whether or not MJ is their biological father is irrelevant. He was the only father they knew and I am sure he loved them.

Seems like his record label is more important to him than the death of his son. Did it again this afternoon at the press conference with Al Sharpton. And Rev Al seems to be telling him answers to the questions he was being asked b4 he makes a fool out of himself, incredible.

Gosh what a train wreck. It would be wise to just stay out of the media or use a pat response such as we’re asking that the media and public refrain from asking questions and respect the families privacy or at the very least keep all comments focused along the lines of the family is doing the best it can under the circumstances…

For a father to mention any type of business ventures in the works mere days after losing a son seems heartless but hey people handle life events differently.

My heart goes out to the children.

I don’t think or talk like this often, but the media is doing a number on this family. Joe Jackson is not the most articulate man in the world, but that man LOVES HIS SON, and anyone who thinks otherwise is insane.

That family is hurting. Part of the reason MJ is dead now is because of the pressure and scrutiny of the media and public, and they are being completely disrespectful with this family now.

There will be time to speculate about Michael’s estate and his children after the man is laid to rest. I have NEVER seen the level of hatred and evil in the media as I am seeing now. I am more upset about the complete lack of respect FOR THE FAMILY than by MJ’s death. We all have to go, but have some respect. The media is doing everything they can to destroy this man’s legacy. It is all making me ill.

@Shay

I agree with you. When my grandfather died a couple years ago, I pretty much hung out with my family for the week after leading up to the funeral because it was too painful to really discuss with anyone without being emotional. I understand that folks grieve in different ways, but a “less is more” approach would not hurt them. It’s not necessary to have a press conference or speak to the cameras everytime you have something to say. I will continue to pray for the Jackson family.

AL SHARPTON IS ASSISTING THE FAMILY BECAUSE HE IS VERY SKILLED IN HANDLING MEDIA!

PLEASE STOP FOCUSING ON THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THE FAMILY AND FOCUS ON ALL OF THE GOOD MICHAEL JACKSON DID FOR THE WORLD! HE WAS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE PEOPLE OF THE PAST SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS AND I THINK HIS LEGACY WILL CERTAINLY BE DESERVING OF HISTORY BOOKS!

Ok now, the beginning was ok when he talked about how Mike was loved all over the world and how Mike loved people and gave and helped people so much, I thank God himself that he was able to get Joe to say that much… But when he started getting into how we as fans loved their – whole family, “we knew you all love us” or something like that, and how he himself with a new record label was going to be instrumental in making good music from now on, how the children never were able to hang around any other children, and when he said “I’ve never heard of a private funeral for someone like Michael”… It was all kinda raggedy and messy, not to mention how he answered some of the reporters.
It seems as if he is proud that he is attached to someone so great, and maybe feels like he had something to do with the greatness of Michael and the family, but it also seems like deep down inside he thinks he could have done better than Mike did or anyone did in music and/or all things for that matter, it really does seem like he thinks what he does and says is right… Still we all know good and well anyone and everyone wants to attach themselves to Michael’s name or his success, in one way or another. Seems he knows carrying Mike’s name and legacy has benefits.
I think Michael’s success earned him a certain amount of respect from his father, but as far as love IDK ’bout that. He did say some good things, but something still seems a bit off…

Joe needs to shut up – period..and stop grinning like a weasel in public. His gleefulness is disgusting. He should let Al or an attorney do the talking.

I just still don’t understand why these two are going around doing damage control conferences and appearances? Seems like they are guilty of something…I wouldn’t doubt it if they had that doctor to do what he did! Details will be out soon!

Mr. Jackson is a little creepy. Yikes!

Stupes!

see your favrite Caribbean celebs on The Lime limein.com ….get pics of sean paul, estelle, sean kingston, Debra Lee, Jimmy Jean Lous, Idris Elba at the BET awards! Usain Bolt in Canada and SP and Busy Signal in Paris!!!!!

Joe is a good father now. I think that he did the best he could when they were young. He said that his father treated him the same way and he thought it was ok because he was raised like that. Joe has always been by MJ side defending him from the media so people back off there would be no MJ or Jackson 5 without Joe. I think that he loves his family and just wanted them to have a better life. I bet if he could go back and change things he would.

best wishes for MJ’s family espesially his kids!!!

The mess is already starting to stink.

Why do ignorant white people embarass us that aren’t? Everyone is upset over Michael’s death – whether they are distraught over the loss or upset that he was so important to the World. If you can’t say anything positive to help improve race relations, then you are helping ruin the future for your family, offspring and friends.

MJ – we, WHITE people loved you. RIP.

The only one that should be executor over MJ’s will and children is Janet. She’s young doesn’t have any kids, it should be Janet. I pray Mike left a document stating that. And Debbie Rowe, probably wants the kids away from the issues Michael probably told her about , growing up. If my kids father told the world that he was abused as a child physically and verbally. I wouldn’t want my kids around that. Especially if their father was like Mike. I love Mike, but he was a grown man pleading with his father, acting scared talking about the abuse.

And I’m not worried about who will get the kids and money, because it’s not my money. And why hate on the father, when Katherine could have spoken out against the abuse.

And God said “I made you black and you wanted to be white” enough already! I know what is best for you and if I made you black then black you should be and if you wished you were white then you are telling me that I don’t know what is right for you! All the little black children are confused and some even became ashamed of their race..enough already! God knows what is best for you and if he made you black then celebrate your blackness in the name of Jesus..The man upstairs is not pleased when he created you one race and you try in varied ways to tell the master creator that he did not know what he was doing. Everybody need to celebrate their race because God made them so. WORD! The greatest insult to God is to tell him that he don’t know what he’s doing..Then he can say..enough already! WORD!

R.I.P Michael Jackson, God has the last say!

just Looking,
You are right! God has the last say! God had the last say.. and yes may he rest in peace but I aint’ celebrating no black man who wished he were white..no, no, no. Excellent musician, yes! But that’s it! EVeryone need to be proud of what God made them..black, white, blue, Whatever. I ain’t celebrating nobody who dissed God by telling him that he made a mistake by making you who you are. WORD!

When I saw Joe Jackson laughing like he hit the lottery and promoting his record label I cried for Michael. What kind of father discusses business ideals three days after the death of his son. And as far as Debbie Rowe is concerned, I have seen crack headed mothers who neglect and barter away their own children, but still get to keep custody. Debbie had an arrangement with Michael to stay away and now that Michael is gone she should be allowed to come back into her childrens lives. I don’t trust Joe and Katherine is ill and too old at 79 to raise young children. The children should be in the care of both Janet (the most sane Jackson) and their biological mother.

sorry for the mistakes but i’m trying to get ready and type at the same time.

Al is skillful in drawing media attention to himself and himself alone! Let the family attorney’s handle this they know what to say and how to act. Al is on his ignorant, loud-mouth, all eyes on me cause I am the king behavior. He’s too ignorant and too much of a cheat to speak for the dead. Ain’t a gotdamnthing professional about pimpin Al Sharpton except that professional, beauty parlour perm. So ya’ll don’t be stupid.

It was reported earlier that Debbie Rowe gave up her parental rights.

It is now being reported that is false.

If Debbie Rowe did not give her parental rights to the children, she has every right as the biological mother to fight for custody of her children. Only the oldest two are hers.

With that being said, the way I understand it is that the money goes where the children go.
