but in defense, no one’s perfect ... not even the father of the late king of pop!
Joe denied that he‘d ever been abusive towards Michael, and claimed that the reports were the fault of the media
HOTT NEWS!
People always focus on the negativity towards the Jackson family! Have some respect people geesh!
On Monday night, Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson made an appearance on Larry King Live, during which he was grilled about his late son Michael’s frequent claims that his father had been physically and emotionally abusive. Mr. Jackson was unsurprisingly dismissive when questioned about how he raised his children, saying that he “didn’t make no mistakes” during their childhoods. Joe denied that he’d ever been abusive towards Michael, and claimed that the reports were the fault of the media. Never mind the fact that before his death, Michael had been videotaped talking candidly about his father’s violent temper.
Never mind that story that’s been circulating for years – that Joe taught his son to dance by convincing him there were snipers in the audience who would shoot him if he stopped moving. Jackson then ranted that “beating” was the invention of slavemasters, as if that helped his cause. He then said everyone in America spanks their kids, and those who say they don’t are lying. Watch the video at right, and decide for yourself if this man deserves any more time in the spotlight.
