Joe Jackson was interviewed by Larry King last night and said that he did not beat up on Michael Jackson. He also started talking about slaves:

In an interview with CNN’s Larry King Monday, Joe Jackson, father of the late pop legend Michael Jackson, denied abusing his son, as the deceased performer claimed. During a show – which has been just one in a blitz of Michael Jackson-focused topics the show has aired since Jackson’s death – the patriarch of the Jackson clan adamantly denies…Continue

    funny how he chosen to deny it now–knowing the dead cant defend themselves.

    josh

    Look at that do*****entary called living with michael jackson. In the 1st 5 minutes he says his dad used to hit them if they got dance steps wrong. You can see it really affected him.

    Aunt Viv

    Joe Jackson makes me ill. That man is pure evil.

    diva

    JOE IS JUST AN OG FATHER AND HE RAISED HIS KIDS THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. MICHAEL WAS JUST A SENSITIVE CHILD. I’M NOT SAYING WHAT HE DID WAS RIGHT BUT SHYT MY MOMS WAS THE SAME WAY. WE GOT BEAT WITH THE EXTENSION CORD BECAUSE SHE WASN’T ABOUT TO BE TELLING US THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER. ONE ***** WHIPPIN AND WE GOT IT. AND IT DIDNT KILL US. LOL B4 YALL JUMP ALL OVA ME, LIKE I SAID, IT DOESN’T MAKE IT RIGHT BUT THAT’S HOW IT WAS DONE BACK IN THE DAY. PARENTS RAISED THEIR KIDS THEIR WAY. PERIOD.

    bcan

    Pappa joe trying to say that he whopped michael but he didn’t beat him like they did in the slave days…ok, but “whopping” a child because he didn’t get a dance move right or because they sang the wrong note is abuse joe sorry. and why is he still doing interviews??? sit down some where. SMDH

    Caramel Cat

    Honestly, I don’t know why Joe agreed to do this interview. The whole thing was a mess with him and that Rowe guy and they both looked pretty stupid to me. Joe didn’t really answer any questions and he didn’t look like a grieving father at all. I wonder about him for real…

    *****CATFUN

    JOE JACKSON IS SIPPIN’ ON SIZZURRP.

    m

    i don’t understand. is he saying because he didn’t hit his kids with a whip and make them say their name was toby, is wasn’t abuse? don’t get me wrong, i got whooped as a kid, but i got over it. for michael to still dwell on it and talk about it into adulthood, it had to be more than just whooping.

    Kitina

    I think Joe is getting a bad wrap, I do believe he may have spanked or whipped his children but did he beat them down? I don’t believe so…just for the fact that the more normal Jackson children haven’t said that they were beaten.

    I think MJ probably didn’t like the discipline and the way he was raised and chose to distance himself from his father. But at any rate no matter how much we speculate we don’t know what really went down. None of us were there.

    But I do wish they would allow MJ to rest in peace.

    Karma

    Leave Joe alone. He didn’t beat MJ, he whoop him for being out of pocket. We need more Joe Jacksons in our communtiy that are raising their kids. Instead we have ***** that can’t read or do math and think that it is cool. Shyt MJ could read and do math– he became one heck of business man because his dad pushed him to acheive the unacheivable. Where are the daddys? Let’s look at ourselves versus trying to *****yze a fallen icon who just want to be left alone. MJ RIP. Would we even know who MJ is without Joe Jackson? Yall fall back–

    Holy shyt!!!!

    There is no right about this man!!! He looks of PURE EVIL!!!

    jELLY jAR

    HE MOLESTED HIS OWN DAUGHTERS AND BEAT HIS SON MORE THAN A MEAN MAN BEATS HIS DOG AND NOW HE IS TRYING TO JUSTIFY HIS ABUSE. HE HAD EVERYBODY IN THAT HOUSE UNDER HIS THUMB AND THEY FEARED HIM. THIS 80 YEAR OLD BROKEN DOWN ALZHEIMER’S PIMP NEEDS TO SIT HIS STUPID ***** DOWN AND STAY DOWN EVERY TIME HE OPENS HIS TOOTHLESS MOUTH HE MAKES THINGS WORST.

    Resurrected

    Joe is avoiding the question… He does not care what MJ felt as long as he can be in the spot light.. As a parent how do U have no idea what your child feels about you are a person and parent… To me this is a parent that does not want to face reality, yeah you got MJ in the industry but it does not mean that you did not also cause him damage…

    Eva

    HELL NO PAPA JOE!!!!!!!

    This Long Distance is @ work :(

    I’m sure he spanked them and slapped them upside the head too. Michael was a pretty sensitive guy so it affected him in the long run.
    Joe doesn’t appear to have just lost a child. No grieve whatsoever. Guess he’s too excited about his label or maybe that’s just the way he is.

    Rihanna's sharp,black, witchy fingernails

    ***** his old crazy *****. he molested and beat his kids. ***** THIS OLD *****.

    DDub (Right? Right.)

    I’m trying to figure out why Larry King has done a MJ show for 2 weeks straight. Was that his hero or somethin? You’d have thought he’d say something about Walter Kronkite.

    pm

    I’m with Team Joe.. black kids need theirs *****es beat…Mike getting his ***** whomped in hell right now for *****in those lil boys..

    Joe Jackson saying # 34949943
    “I’m o beat yo head”- revealed by Michael on Bashir’s interview

    enkogkneegro

    Okay so in a recent interview with Mikes mom she said Mike wasn’t abused by Joe, Jermaines interview with the guy from the Today Show he said Joe didn’t abuse Mike…..the older sister, Tito, Jackie and I believe Randy have also denied the abuse allegations. I believe the only ones that have said Mike was abused were Janet and she said Mike was whipped, Latoya said what ever got her in the news including Mike was a child molester and Marlon who said he remembered Joe picking Mike up by one leg and spanking him upside down…Lets understand that my kids can tell stories of what happened when they were young around the table and the spin they’ve put on a simple story is amazing and every year it becomes more distorted. Mikes whippings like the whippings we had became abuse when others saw the potential he had and knew that to get their peice of the pie thay had to seperate him from his family and father who was his manager. Joe may have not been the most personable individual and the record execs played Mike like a cheap guitar and before long he bought into it and if you notice his resentment grew as he became more famous and as the media hyped it. Mike went through alot and had some *****ed up people around him all with their hands in his pocket but I bet had Joe remained his manager he’d be with us right *****ing now…..Joe didn’t abuse Mike the *****holes around him who developed that ***** did and that why he’s where he’s at……..I bet more than half the folks in here had abusive parents if we went by that standard set on Joe………

    enkogkneegro

    Yea and Joe has been around his other grandkids without beating and eating them so….WTF….black folks can tow a line better than a muffuga. Just feed us some ***** and we’ll run off with it like we were there……

    drenk

    hey without those ***** whoopins we would’ve never had all the great jackson songs. so lemme be the first to say THANK YOU JOE, those ***** whippins really worked!!!!

    Joe Jackson - DIE ALREADY

    I can’t stand to listen or look at this OLD JOKE and LOSER!

    Those poor kids!!! I would drug myself to death too, if I had good ol’ lying ***** Joe as father.

    Silent Abuse

    IMO, MJJ held something else against Joe.

    Would Joe have allowed older men to touch MJJ to get them in the business? I heard that once before. Joe would leave MJJ in hotels with businessmen. What did they do to that young man? MJJ saw so much more than we will ever know while he was still a young child and then an impressionable young man and it wasn’t pretty evidently. And that is why he didn’t trust anyone – how could he? Look what people did to him when he was still a child. I see why he wanted to be around children at least children were easier to deal with and he could trust them unlike some of the shady, seedy people he had come to know in his early life.

    kill mj twice

    I believe that 90% of black children got there but whipped on a few times and this has been going since slavery. Whipping has been ingrained in our heads for submission by the slaveowners..Whipping now has been labeled by white people-since headlines been airing out that white people started to take whipping little bit to far with the beaten & torture of their children. Joe is getting a bad rap-yep and again the media is trying to make it seem like michael was killed by his daddy and the nation of islam..Reflecting away from all those that used drugs to control and destroy him..Like ELVIS,JIMI,ANNA NICOLE of this world..Whippin doesn’t kill people,but drugs will..

    Choocolate Dude

    As much as Joe freaks me out I have to agree with *ENKOGKNEEGRO on this one.. Well put sir.

    hope4more

    Joe is old broken down pimp that used his kids to get what he was not capable of getting. Micheal would have shined without him, because the music was already in him. On the red carpet his talking about his record company not his son. I saw the interview and Joe is on a mission to find out about the people taking advantage of Micheal including AEG and Dr. Toheme R, Toheme, and NOI . Had he had a closer relationship maybe he could have cut some of those enablers off.

    !!!!!R.I.P M.J!!!!!

    JOE OFF THE CHAIN LOL.

    Tootie

    Why do my people insist on shaming me around “good white folk”!

    !!!!!R.I.P M.J!!!!!

    MAN ME AND MY SIBS GOT ***** WHOOPINS LIKE MIKE BUT WE TURNED OUT ALRIGHT I GUESS MIKE WAS JUST TOO SENSITIVE AND NEEDED HELP WHEN HE GOT OLDER TO GET OVER IT.

    bri

    WTH joe didn’t molest his daughters, that’s sick

    alot of ppl got whoppings when they were growing up, i did. everyone is different and it affects them differently

    Coco

    Joe needs to admit that he beat his kids, because most black people do beat their kids. I also agree it was trickled down from slavery. The slaves got flogged by the masters like they were animals and they went on to discipline their kids in a similar way. Violence begets violence. Most people who were beaten as kids end up beating their kids and on and on. All races of course can be just as violent.

    enlight

    the jackson kids need to get their stories straight b/c years ago they did say they were scare of joe b/c he would whoop them for nothing. joe is a big man who worked in the steel industry…if he was mad i’m sure a whooping couldve easily turned into a beating. that’s not right. mike probably wouldve ended up still being the superstar he was without those angry whoopings. Mike said he was “beat” by joe. Joe said Katherine spanked the kids more than he did b/c she was home with them more. So why do you think Mike had the problem w/ Joe and not Kat?? Because a child eventually grows to know the difference between justified discipline and unjustified abuse. Joe would get them for getting their dance steps or notes wrong; that’s not discipline, but abuse!! It wasnt important for their well-being as productive citizens of society that they be hit when their performance was awry; it was important that they be hit if they act like menaces to society.

    mj is king.so invincible

    @ Enkogkneegro,you are so right i used to get mine with a tamarind rod christ im reliving as i type cause that ***** used to sting long after the punishment but those were the days we grew up in.years later my siblings and i were told stories of my mum’s punishment as a child, my grandmother was a strict disciplinarian.In those days it was spear the rod and spoil the child.I know they meant well but i parent my kids quite differently.I think Joe meant well also.

    Huh? (new on here but not 2 b confused with the other 1)

    I have mixed feelings regarding Joe Jackson, without him the world wouldn’t have had Michael Jackson and we would have missed out on someone so wonderful (but if Mike wasn’t famous he may have been better off or not according to Joe and the neighborhood they grew up in). On the other hand Joe seems so uncaring and money hungry which is probably what made him hit Michael exclusive (which is what it seems like). MJ was Joe’s ticket to fame and fortune so he worked him hard and got mad at him if he didn’t do things the way he wanted. I don’t think Joe is evil (though his eyebrows beg to differ) but he seems to love money more than his family which is never good. Also he grew up back in the day and then and now too make parents think it’s cool to hit their kids over minor things.

    Just Looking

    Joe feed and clothed his children before they made it to Motown. Michael stated that his whippings, didn’t come from practicing with the Jackson-5. But for things he done outside of the group. Raising 6 boys, Joe needed to be tough.

    The Twinz Mama

    My point is that I believe there were many shady people around Mike even as a child who was putting stuff in his ear. Can you imagine where the conflict between Joe Jackson and Berry Gordy started? Picture Mike getting in trouble for doing what kids do (he’s an admitted prankster with a gang of brothers). Joe gives him a whoopin. B Gordy steps on the scene “Oh Mike he shouldn’t whip you. That’s not right, that’s child abuse…I would never do that if I was your dad, etc…” Insert Mike “Oh Berry I wish YOU were my FATHER.” I wasn’t there but I’m just sayin…

    People told Mike what he wanted to hear to keep him singing and dancing. He probably didn’t receive any more whoopins than anyone on this blog. Everyone has a mama, grandma or aunt or some type figure who made you go get a switch off the tree, or a belt and you bet not come back wit a flimsy one. And most of us have been popped in the head or the mouth for doing something we know we had no business doing. People are so quick to point the finger at Joe. He wasn’t no different than any other parent. As for molesting the girls? Pure speculation… none of us were there so we don’t know.

    Bottom line Joe didn’t abuse those kids and Michael wasn’t sensitive he was brainwashed by people who would say anything to be in his good graces so they could get in his pockets. Case closed.

    reddnwood

    ALL YOU SO CALLED ENLIGHTENED DUMB ***** NEGROES JUST KEEP ON TRYING THE WHITE FOLKS WAYS OF RAISING KIDS YA HERE!!! THAT’S WHY OUR KIDS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE RIGHT NOW BOTH WHITE & BLACK SHOWING NO RESPECT & KILLING & *****ING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!! U BETTER RECOGNIZE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE FOLKS!!!

    Young Obama

    That interview was hilarious. I don’t think I have really heard him talk at length before and now I understand why he drove his kids so hard. He’s old school and no joke. MJ was smart to isolated himself from this old *****.

    mj is king.so invincible

    @ Silent Abuse, you do realize that Michael jackson’s life was destroyed by false allegations of child abuse,so unless u heard that monstrous allegation from mj himself then why attach that nasty stain to him.when it comes to mj the mainstream media and tabloid magazines have merge into one lying destructive entity and their ultimate goal was to destroy him and his legacy.

    Jamaquina.Cubana

    I agree 150% w/ DIVA and ENKOGKNEEGRO! Timeouts don’t work! Trust me…I see my friends w/their kids and trying the ‘time out’ thing and the have absolutely no control over their kids, none! There is FIVE generations of my family alive right now, from Great-Gran and EVERYBODY got a beatin’ at some point in their life and *****ODY has turned crazy or tried to be another race or overdosed on smuggled painkillers!! If anything, we’re more grounded and sensible because of it! Without some type of “effective” discipline kids will run amock and tear YOU apart!!!

    Jamaquina.Cubana

    @ The Twinz Mama ….
    Exactly!
    Like they teach kids @ school to call Child’s Services if their parents beat them!
    But jokes on them b/c now Child’s Services don’t wanna deal with the same kids they were ‘trying to save’, anymore! They’re too damn bad!!

    Young Obama

    As much money MJ and his brothers made his dad and the fam there shouldn’t have been any reason for Joe to touch them – unless it was his way of controlling the kids. Duh!

    The Twinz Mama

    @Jamaquina.Cubana

    I have a friend who works for child services and it’s nothing but drama over there. They spend so much time investigating these bogus reports of child abuse from bad a$$ kids who NEED a whoopin that they their staff is stretched and can hardly help the kids who really need it. Very sad to see…

    black

    @ silent abuse
    I believe too there was something else to Michael’s dislike for Joe. I think when he needed his dad to be dad, and protect him from the vultures that are the music business, he always got Joe. I think he did go too far here and there disciplining his children, but he meant well. Joe got caught up in that money and it was projected at Michael because it don’t take much to see whose star shined the most bright among the Jackson children. No, it’s not wrong to whoop your kids, but it is wrong for you not to be the rock they need you to be for them, especially at such an impressionable age, which obviously had psychological effects on Michael.

    Miss Rosie

    A lot of kids in Michael’s generation got beaten by their parents because that was the only way that they knew to discipline them. I’m sure that Joe got beaten by his parents and p*****ed that on to raise his children. Joe isn’t the one to blame for Michael’s issue. Michael had other issues that we probably wouldn’t know about or even began to understand. What’s the point of having Joe Jackson on Larry King? Do they want a public apology? His actions are no different from other parents in that generation or even today. I’m not saying that it’s right, but there’s no need to go down the man’s throat for something that happened 40 years ago. What’s done is done. Just let Michael rest in peace.

    mj is king.so invincible

    JOE DID NOT KILL MICHAEL. THE GREEDY VULTURES IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY DID.IN 2002 WITH MICROPHONE IN HAND MJ TOLD ANY ONE WHO LISTENED THAT SONY WAS TRYING TO DESTROY HIM.WAKE UP PPL. LOOK PAST THE MEDIA GENERATED NOISE.THIS IS JUST A PLOY. WHILE PPL ARE FOCUSED ON THE “LITTLE THINGS” SONY HAS ***** MORE OF MJ’S BEATLES CATALOGUE.SONY IS BIDDING 50 MILLION SOLLARS TO OWN THE MJ REHEARSAL VIDEO.AEG IS RELEASING AN MJ MOVIE LATER THIS YEAR.JOHN BRANCA WHO MJ HAD NO DEALINGS WITH SINCE 2006 RESURFACES WITH A 2002 WILL SAYING MJ REHIRED HIM THREE WEEKS BEFORE HE MURDERED. JOHN BRANCA’S LAWYER CONVIENTLY HAS A LETTER MJ SIGNED 9 DAYS BEFORE HE WAS MURDERED STATING HE WANTED BRANCA TO ADMINISTER THE WILL.THE CHILDREN’S WAS CONVENIENTLY FIRED BY FAKE DR THOME THOME, THIS GUY ROWE WAS BRUSH OFF BY AEG AND MJ’S FAMILY WAS CUT OFF FROM SEEING HIM BY THE NEW SECURITY HIRED BY AEG.WHILE HIS FAMILY WAS PLANNING AN INTERVENTION MJ TURNS UP MURDERED.

    Intell

    If someone still wants to regurgitate on who “got beat” during the sixties; take a look at some footage from the Civil Rights Movement. Better still, ask Redmond (Farrah Fawcett’s son and only child) whether or not his mom or dad ever spanked him. Did he turn out better as a result?

    Its6amHoGetOut

    I 6am got “one” whipping in my entire life, my first year in Jr High School and I got one “D”, my father wasnt so mad at the fact I got a D in algebra, he knew i was trying, it was that *****in’ “U” in disrupting the cl***** that got him mad! he had to catch me first though, I ran all over that backyard until he got tired, then I just said to myself; let him hit you a few times and its over, and it was!

    love 6am

    mj is king.so invincible

    TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO OF MJ SAYING WHAT HAS NOW COME TO P*****.GO TO YOU TUBE AND TYPE IN:
    “MICHAEL JACKSON VS SONNY-SPEECH AT LONDON”.
    MJ WAS DEFINITELY MURDERED FOR HIS *****ECTS.

    enkogkneegro

    @ Black

    Barry Gordy seperated Mike from his family once they signed with Motown and moved him not the family in with Mrs. Ross while the rest of the brothers and Joe stayed in a motel, His mom just stated on an interview recently that the label directly after Motown told her to make sure the other Jackson boys save their money because they were about to launch Mike on a solo career and there would be no more musical life for them. His mom said she told them not to because they were a family and that It would cause problems greater than the music issue for her family…but Mike wanted the stage to himself and so it went. Joe wasn’t Mikes manager for long and once the industry got him and turned an ***** whippin into abuse with the PR people stoking the flames of bull***** Joe ain’t have a chance….might I add that folks saying his family just stood by while Mike went thru this ordeal that eventually led to his death…..they didn’t and tried interventions but Mike convinced influenced by these same muffugs thought they were after his money and hired guards to keep them away from him…including his MOM

    the Strawboss

    You slave chimps who think it’s a good idea put your hands on people to impart valuable lessons need to enroll in a psychology course at your local community college. Then make sure your professor busts your @ss every time you mess up and tell me if it’s as effective as you remember it. You never even hit your worst enemy, so why do it to someone you claim to love the most?

    JaZZmen

    YOU GUYS ARE SICK !!! SAY JOE BEAT THEM KIDS, SAY MJ IS A FREAK, SAY THEM KIDS AREN’T HIS. BUT DON’T SAY JOE HAD SEX WITH HIS DAUGHTERS. ARE YOU CRAZY ?? WHO EVER SAYING THAT IS OUT OF LINE, & IS SICK. DON’T GO OVER BORD LOL JUST STOP NOW

    Sissy

    I recommend you a nice milionaire dating site __Rich Flirts.c o m__. Whenever I chat with my friends on this site, I feel really relaxed and happy. They are easygoing and honest. I enjoy staying on the site. Hope you can find more nice rich friends there. Good luck to you.

    rose by any other name

    good for him.

    WhoDat

    Look y’all i think crazy Joe needs to go sit his ***** down too and stay off of T.V. But he wasn’t taking no shyt from Larry King last night. *****ody’s mentioning how that “set of shoulders” asked a bunch of ignorant hurtful questions. I’ve lost a lot of respect for Larry King since MJ’s death! Check out “shoulderman’s” appearence on Jimmy Kimmel and he’ll tell you why he’s doing so many interviews about MJ. Also Joe is hurting and he basically said so last night. He,like Tito and Jermaine refused to view Michael in the casket.

    Rx

    I believe him. He never beat Michael and the Jackson 5 special specifically shows that he didn’t. He didn’t physically abuse his children he disciplined them.

    Mike was a decent guy and people still coming down hard on him even after the man is dead cause they wanted him to be their God but he isn’t. Mike was a man, and a very flawed man. He made many mistakes in his life but he was better than most people in my opinion at living life and being happy.

    Bohwe

    While people are speculating on what killed MJJ is beyond me, when the toxicology report isn’t complete yet, so why draw conclusions? People will find anything negative to say about MJJ. Wonder why the media isn’t focused on anything positive? And these black entertainers really should thank MJJ for breaking down barriers for them.

    Off Topic: I just saw the In The Closet Remix video, with Naomi Campbell and MJJ, and I must say MJJ was sexy. I was so not used to seeing MJj, being pushed on a table by a woman, and next scene, Naomi is straddling and grinding on MJJ. Very interesting. I wonder why people love to say that MJJ was gay, he clearly wasn’t , just man enough to keep his private live, private.

    Taurus no bull

    there are no black people raised in the ’50s’60s or ’70s that didn’t get beat. the old saying was if you don’t beat yo young ‘uns, the white folks will. Thats proved by every police brutality case today.

    LA Woman

    I really wish Joe would stop interviewing. He and some of the other Jacksons (e.g. Jermaine, Tito, La Toya) are such attention w*****s, and are using what should be a time of mourning as a platform to ingratiate themselves to the media. ENOUGH ALREADY!

    LoisLane

    Joe put Larry King in his place several times during the interview. Joe has been maligned in the media for no reason. The only person who said Joe molested them was LaToya, in her autobiography. But she later reneged on those accusations and said her crazy old white husband at the time made up parts of the book to get better publicity, and therefore more book sales. If her father molested her, do you think she would have been going to MJ’s trial every day with Joe? Don’t let the white man/media brainwash you. Blood is almost always thicker than water. If MJ had not cut his father out of his life he probably would still be alive.

    F*ck Perez Hilton

    for those idiots who say ‘don’t put your hands on your child’ are the ones raising these bad ***** kids that cussout their parents,rippin’ & runnin’ in the street getting in all kinds of goddamn trouble filling up the damn jail cell.

    [...] People are saying Mike was overly sensitive. When children are not allowed their adolescence, the impact is immediate and carries a lasting effect, Joe! [...]

    Loch Ness Monster

    Who is ‘Michuh’? Was that crusty-eyed ***** tried to say ‘Michael’?

    This world idk

    It kills me @ 0:43 when he says most people who was MJ’s age aren’t living anymore…. is it just me or did this old senile ***** forget his son is dead to?!?!?!?!
