    Yesterday’s minstel show *BET AWARDS* was the icing on the *****ing cake!

    Whatever punk the show was cool…and if you think people are coons why you on this site looking at black folk…you probably just deep throat *****!!!

    Ms. Panama

    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! :)

    Octavia

    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.

    Octavia

    *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.

    Shay

    *****ody 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.

    Aljesse

    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!

    I'm Just ME

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

    Arisa

    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.

    Wenzel Dashington A.K.A. (Da Notorious A.I.G.)

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

    Whatcha*****outdat?

    Joe Jackson, Al and Jesse Jackson will always be who they are and who we all know them to be… the Jackson’s have had more then enough “money and people” around them to have a well versed and educated person(s) speaking for them during a time like this –and some others times/court appearance and such. There are even people in the “industry” that would represent them or speak on their behalf if they’d just let them instead of allowing Joe, Jesse and Al to open their old ***** ignorant sounding mouths.

    I hope someone steps in to “HELP”!

    v-fromrock

    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.

    hope4more

    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?

    v-fromrock

    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.

    bcan

    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.

    Whatcha*****outdat?

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

    Pam

    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

    Whut??

    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.

    Whatcha*****outdat?

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

    take a knee.

    .....*......*......*

    I got yo coons you ***** sucker *****~~

    v-fromrock

    @Whut??

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

    Oshie Presents the King

    Michael never fathered any children. Damn you people are *****ing naive as hell!! I guess you believe he could moonwalk on water too huh??

    WordtotheWiset

    I was embarr*****ed 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.

    WordtotheWise

    Lord, what happened to my screen name?

    Kevin D

    First off…Joe Jackson and permed up Rev need to shut the F*ck up! This women hasn’t said she wanted the kids in fact she says she didn’t. THEY are the only ones throwing her name out there. Blood sucking pimps! Shameful. There is no way he can do damage control from mentioning his projects before even burying his SON! F*ucking imbeciles! Damn this is why black people always get a bad wrap the cameras always go to the dumb *****es that make us look bad! We love you Michael the real truth is coming out now that you are gone. He never molested anyone and he did have Vitiligo! RIP

    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!!

    Oshie Presents the King

    @Word to the Wise

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

    Demeter

    Debbie already released a statement and I don’t think she has any intention of fighting for the children.

    Al Sharpton is in Joe’s ear pumping this up as much as the media so that his ***** can stay somewhat relevant.

    Oshie Presents the King

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

    Tiko Render

    Wow!! wow wow!!!Nothing was misinterpreted! His callous cold hearted ***** was just looking for attention. He kept stressing “as a family” well just because you are a member of a family doesn’t always make them suitable to be a part of your life. Mike distanced his self from them for a reason and now it shows why. I am not saying he didn’t love them but maybe he may have not had the same mindset as some of them. He was sweet, meek, and kind these dudes seem like some pimped out thuggish n*ggas ready to scheme and scam to make a buck! Wow!! I am dumbfounded by the lack of concern shown and how they quickly try to explain it away as though we are too dumb to notice. We are wide awake *****es we see what you are all about! Not just in America but around the world!!!

    Nicole

    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

    Nicole

    oh i forgot to add puck his daddy

    Kami All Day

    @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

    john hope frankin

    pimpin joe!!

    Jane Doe

    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.

    Kami All Day

    @Arisa:

    True indeed.

    I just cant believe that Bossip wont let me post what I really wanted to say.

    Crazy.

    Oshie Presents the King

    106 and Park is back on so we can continue to watch the bafoonery at its best. I love hearing Terrence and Rosci say the BET Awards show was the biggest event in the history of awards shows. LMWAO

    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

    kipp kibbler

    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

    Whatcha*****outdat?

    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….

    Jane Doe

    @ Kipp Kibbler

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

    Oshie Presents the King

    Al Sharpton is an attention w***** just like when him and Jesse came down to Louisiana to defend the Jena 6. Later those fools exhibited coonery to the fullest and admitted the white boy never said anything racial to them.

    Oshie Presents the King

    Coons dont stand a chance, but African-Americans are doing just fine!

    Tiny

    @Whatcha*****outdat?
    You are so right!
    I think Mike was the only intelligent one of them all. Unfortunately, it looks like they kept such a tight net around him that no one with any common sense seems to be stepping up to handle things. Some one really needs to step up and tell his slave driving father and permed up crooked pimp Al to sit down. So sad no one with any academia is speaking for him. We the fan are speaking on his behalf all over the net though. People are *****ed about how things are going down. He deserves better.

    Kami All Day

    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.

    Oshie Presents the King

    @Kami all day

    Why would you suggest such a thing?

    MOboogs

    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!!!!!!!!!

    Kami All Day

    @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.

    Oshie Presents the King

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

    Kami All Day

    @Oshie:

    Okay. If you say so.

    I was kinda hoping I had it nailed. lol

    MatterofFact

    People really kill me trashing Joe Jackson. I’m not excusing his abuse of his children, but love him or not, there would be no Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson “The King of Pop” without him.

    Who thought of the idea of a family group? Who got the instruments? Who taught them to play? Who booked the performances? Who made them practice and taught them professionalism.

    I’m not calling him a saint, but give him the credit he is due. Mind you he did all this while working long hours in a nasty hot factory and taking care of his family… something that is sorely missing today!

    So we can talk about what he did wrong, but please at least give him credit on what did right.

    The man is always going to be talking about what kind of projects he’s got going on… That’s Joe Jackson.

    shabba

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

    JJ

    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!

    Whatcha*****outdat?

    Out of all those kids/people in that family it’s a real SHAME that *****ody 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…

    miss shay-shay

    @ 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

    IHATEJOEJACKSON1

    Katherine, please leave JOE he’s a disaster.

    peaches

    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!! Obviously, michael wanted those kids to turn out weird like him!!! Who makes their kids walk around with mask on their face when it is 90+ degrees. I think that michael’s family knew he was weird, but they overlooked it especially when he was living @ home and would stay locked up in his bedroom with little boys for days @ a time. But because of who michael was and he was financiallly taking care of them they overlooked a lot of things. If I was Debbie I would fight to the bitter end for my kids, because that is her right not Joe’s and Katherine!!!!!

    shabba

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

    sepia830

    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 *****ign 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 surp*****ed middle age has no business wearing an earring. It just makes him look pathetic.

    CBoz

    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-***** 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.

    MS SMOOTH CRIMINAL(80s BABY)

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

    MS SMOOTH CRIMINAL(80s BABY)

    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.

    UNKNOWN

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

    UNKNOWN

    JOE JACKSON NEEDS TO STOP BASHING THE BABY MOTHER THAT ***** IS GOING TO ***** HER OFF AND THAT WILL BE THE REASON SHE TAKES BACK HER KIDS

    CBoz

    …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

    CaliGal

    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.

    Whatcha*****outdat?

    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.

    Sim1

    I have to defend Al Sharpton here. No big fan of his or anything but he was the only one of the three of them to present himself with any cl***** or education. Joe Jackson made Jackson 5, yea. But *****, maybe they would have been better off living AIGHT in Gary Indiana with a father who didn’t kick their ***** and make them vomit in fear, than being ridiculously famous and stressed the ***** out.

    I love MJ and cant imagine a world without his music. But he paid a high price. the father is disgusting. I am sure he loves his son on some level but clearly he is wanting to take advantage of Mikes death as some sort of comeback for himslelf (as if!). And his lil friend steppin up saying they are doing what Michael wanted. Nice way to sprinkle sugar on some *****. If Michael wanted to do that he would have. Talk about exploitation! I bet the family is home crying while he is sneaking off doing press conferences. What was the point of it? They didnt answer any real questions.

    Baller

    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.

    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.

    miss dior

    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.

    California Pixie

    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 cir*****stances…

    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.

    sxyQblondie LET HIS LEGACY SPEAK FOR ITSELF

    CERTAIN MEDIA OUTLETS ARE ATTEMPTING TO SPIN THINGS AND I WONT SAY WHY I THINK THEY ARE DOING THIS BUT MICHAEL’S LOYAL FANS WILL ALWAYS KNOW THE TRUTH!

    I DECIDED TO CANCEL TO 15 P*****ENGER VAN TRIP TO THE MEMORIAL SERVICE BECAUSE WE ARE SCHEDULING A PERSONAL MEMORIAL IN MY HOMETOWN! I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE ON BOSSIP TO PUT TOGETHER LOCAL MEMORIALS AND PAY REPECT TO OUR FALLEN KING!

    darealwifey

    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.

    Honest Truth

    Joe,Big Perm and Jesse are insane. His kids were never around other kids??? They need to only speak through a publicist. Letting Joe rep the family on air is like letting your drunk uncle speak at your wedding or a funeral. It’s only going to get worse leading up to the funeral that isn’t being planned. Sounds like another James Brown situation in the making!

    Butterscotch

    @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.

    STARcasm

    DEBBIE DONT WANT THOSE *****IN KIDS. HER OWN KIDS! NOTICE THAT JOE NEVER REFERS TO THE KIDS AS HIS GRANDKIDS. THE JACKSONS ARE LOVING THAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO CASH IN ON MIKES ESTATE. SURE, THEY LOVED MIKE, JUST NOT ENOUGH. DEBBIE ALREADY SAID THAT THE KIDS AINT MIKES. *****ODY NEEDED THE NEWSFLASH FOR THAT AS THE FACT THAT MIKE DIDNT EVER MOSLEST KIDS. MAN, I WISH HE WAS STILL HERE. THIS WILL PERPETUATE.

    sxyQblondie LET HIS LEGACY SPEAK FOR ITSELF

    AL SHARPTON IS *****ISTING 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!

    YeahYeahYeah

    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…

    Sean

    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.

    Carla

    I was wondering out of curiousity if Mike has any other kids out there of course that are biological, things that make you go hmmmmmm….

    Princess KiKi

    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!

    [...] Al Sharpton and Joe Jackson say that Debbie Rowe had nothing to do with what they are doing. So, just what are they doing?Bossip [...]

    Robyn

    Mr. Jackson is a little creepy. Yikes!

    I'm in LA, Trick

    So now we know why the Jackson family is *****ed up! Joe Jackson needs a big cup of Shut the ***** up! There has been no grief in this cat’s eyes. He lost his son, think about Janet last night, she was in pain. Joe’s narcissistic butt plugged his own ventures but once but twice in the last 2 days.

    The family is probably trying not to deal with him, he lives in Vegas and they are separated. Someone please tell this guy to be quiet. I think Janet is the only one with any money left, Michael was taking care of the whole damn family pretty much him and Janet.

    I'm in LA, Trick

    What is the Universe trying to tell this family, God removed to meal ticket. Out of 9 children the one that dies is the meal ticket, the bread winner. I feel sorry for the kids, Janet, and Katherine because she doesn’t have the strength to leave his ignorant butt! If it is true that that little boy lied about Michael molesting him, my heart aches for Micheal! To be accussed of something so terrible, your career crumbles as a result, you become addicited to drugs to numb the pain, and subsequently die from your demons? The accuser, his father, and Joe Jackson will bust hell WIDE open. Karma’s a *****, they will get theirs. It is written. Michael, I pray your soul can finally rest in peace. God Bless.

    i know al sharpton was there to deal w/ the media b/c lets face it—he prob has more exper w/ them than daddy joe…..but this was an immature display from all parties involved.
    1. Al for making a mockery of this press conference and speaking on behalf of Michael!
    2. Joe for standing up there acting like he has finally gotten his chance to be in the spotlight.
    3. Marshall for agreeing to show up to a press conference about MJ’s death to talk about the new music venture! Are u friggin kidding me?!?! This ***** is a circus and halfway disrespectful!
    Hell, maybe michael was saner than we thought!!

    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.

    life

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

    The mess is already starting to stink.

    Why do ignorant white people embar***** 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 do*****ent 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.

    I don’t understand why black people are so excited over a black man who it seems was ashamed of his blackness..The black race made Michael who he was with our Rhythm and ability to dance..ain’t *****ody dance like black people and ain’t *****ody can sing sing a song with emotions,soul and pure energy like a black person..all those white singers are copying black style..check out Celine Deon, Justin Timberlake, the girl from Columbia..I forgot her name.. Even Elvis Pressley claimed that he got all his moves and style from black people..they all try to sound black..Go to a white party and watch them dance..out of Rhythm etc..go to a black party and notice the difference..We black people have a lot to be proud of..Michael stole from James Brown and Jackie Wilson..Of course he took it to another level but he owes everything to black people and black people supported the Jackson five overwhelmingly when they started in the 70’s yet he seemed ashamed of his race.. The man fathered three children with two ugly white women..What does that tell you!When a black man date or marry an ugly white woman you know he has issues with his race and wish he were white..If she’s good looking then he does not have issues with his race according to Psychologist but if she’s white and ugly..watch it! come on black people lets celebrate black people who are proud of their blackness. Halle Berry is half white but she talks about and celebrates her blackness more than Michael did.. You are not racist if you are proud of your blackness. Michael was a tremendous entertainer..probably the best there was and will ever be..but I ain’t celebrating no black man who it seemed wished he were white. WORD!

    Stanley

    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!

    Stanley

    If Joe Jackson was not the kind of father he was back then there would have been any Jackson five or Michael Jackson. Jermaine himself said that on Larry king some years ago. You black people know that back in the day, black parents use to spank and beat their kids for every little thing..I don’t know if it was a psychological thing from the slavery episode or what! but that was the truth..Joe jackson was your typical black parent of the 50’s and 60’s..Read how the man saved and invested every penny that he made on the early start of the Jackson kids..he single handedly was responsible for their early climb to stardom..So you people better get off Joe Jackson’s back for a while and face the truth…SPANKING AND BEATINGS WAS A BLACK PARENT THING IN THE 50’s/60’s. Ask your parents who are Michael’s age(50 and up) Leave Joe Jackson alone! The Bible says spare the rod and spoil the child..Joe was simply following the good book! WORD!

    Just Looking

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

    Stanley

    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 *****ody who dissed God by telling him that he made a mistake by making you who you are. WORD!

    Dumb Azz Old Men

    Look at that *****ing fat ***** pimpin Al playing for the cameras. You know he got his greedy fat ***** there to get in good with dumb ***** Joe so he can get to the money. Joe Jackson is a fool! Why would an 80 year old fool like him need to start a record label> No wonder Michael and Janet stay away from that family. One thin for sure when they do that DNA test they will find out who has more rights to what when the results come in.

    Helen

    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.

    Raymond

    OMG!!!! Al Sharpton WTF!!!! I wished he had dies instead of Michael. When I saw Joe Jackson talking about his record company and acting as if nothing had happened, I wanted to put my shoe through the television screen. That is one crazy old man! And Sharpton? Well, what can you say that hasn’t been said a million times before. Butting his greasy head in and getting all up in the cameras and speaking against the childrens natural mother. Big pimping Al smells money like a shark smells blood and he is in it for the cash and the publicity. Please Janet, is you read the comments on this blog, please for the memory of your tortured brother’s soul, keep that media ***** Al Sharpton out of your family business.

    Raymond

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

    Devon

    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.

    ***** Al Pimping Perm

    You better believe Michael told Debbie the nasty secrets in his family. How Joe molested Reba and Latoya and prolly Janet too. That Reba left home at an early age to get away from her filthy ***** daddy. That he beat his kids for no reason and *****ed his kids up for all time. That Jermaine had two kids with his own brothers wife and now his and Randy’s kids are now half-siblings as well as cousins. That none of the Jackson brothers are successful now because they didn’t stress an education in that family and all the brothers could do was sing and dance. And don’t forget Latoya who has too many issues to deal with because of the sexual abuse by Joe. I wouldn’t want those kids, especially Paris anywhere near that vile, old man. As was stated earlier, Drug addict mothers are allowed to keep their kids so Debbie should be given a second chance because one thing for sure, she is their mama. Janet plus Debbie raising those children together would be the best alternative.

    Freaks On My*****e

    joe jackson…….SUCKS. The sexual abuse can not be ignored. Forgiven? I guess, I’m not the judge. But I’ll never respect man who molested children.

    Curtis

    Stanley back in the day black fathers physically disciplined their kids but they didn’t torture them the way Joe did. And they certainly didn’t sexually violate their own daughters the way Joe did. Joe Jackson is and always has been straight up crazy. And I expect jermaine to say that. The least talented brother who was always jealous of Michael, according to Latoya. Joe stills upports jermaine financially so yeah, he would say that. Michael would have always been a star because he was so much more talented than the others. But if he hadn’t been abused he would have been a happier man without so many problems that brought him down. He was a sensitive soul and a great talent but he did some horrible things and I can’t help wondering if his childhood abuse contributed to his flawed, twisted view of life.

    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.

    [...] Joe Jackson is the main reason Michael’s life was so tragic. The fact that he left his father out of the will comes as no surprise since Joe helped create the troubled man we all watched change before our very eyes. Pops is doin’ too much right now anyways. He doesn’t deserve a dime of Michael’s money. Michael Jackson signed a will in 2002 providing for his children and his mom, but leaving nothing to daddy Joe — this according to the Wall Street Journal. [...]

    Why would it take Michael Jackson to p***** away (RIP) for anybody to realize the music industry needs juice??? Let alone Joe Jackson…
    Or I guess it took the *****ery that is the BET awards to showcase what we have left in the business for us to see whats gud
    Someone tell Al to tell Joe we dont need any more labels
    We need real artists to equal at least half of what MJ gave to music lovers for 40 yrs+

    Prime example…Ciara proved the other night why *****ody wanted to take a fantasy ride with her. She should have left her goodies at home.
    Horrible performance.

    The damage is already done.

    If Joe did all of these things as stated. When they became adults they could have totally dis*****ociated with him. You forgive someone who did bad things to you and move on with your life.
