Joe was not a perfect father. He disciplined those kids the best way he could- with an iron fist. There were 6 boys who could have whipped his azz had they got up the nerve. Joe instilled fear in his children’s hearts. You know what they say- “Fear lasts longer than love.”

i think she is a lady with remarkable values not sure if she was afraid of her husband but the other brothers have not said much but looks like joe jackson has a lot to answer for and silence breeds contempt

Man I feel for the jacksons;(
JaCkSpArRoWhOnEy says:
purplebanana19, i agree with you. michael forgave because that is the kind of person he is but he never ever forgot what his father had done to him. there’s a difference between discipline and abuse. discipline is when you get slapped for talking back or lying, abuse is when you had to go outside to get a stick so they could beat you with it because you messed up a dance move or sang too quickly. sure joe tried to redeem himsel, but that never erased the fact that he scarred michael emotionally.
JaCkSpArRoWhOnEy says:
so of course they are mourning the loss of their brother and son, but that doesn’t erase the fact that katherine never did anything about joe beating the kids, and that most of the family members rode on michael’s wealth for years. there are voice recordings of michael AND a truthful book written by michael’s friend who also happens to be jermaine’s exwife to back it up. so don’t go calling these people “fucked up” for taking concern on where his children are and how they are being taken care of
JaCkSpArRoWhOnEy says:
of course katherine jackson is hurting. she lost her son. what people on here are saying is that she sat by and watched as michael got physically and emotionally beaten by her husband, and that is NOT okay.
and you should know that for around 30 years now, michael gave his family allowances when needed. his family rode on him for the longest time, because they didnt want to work and they just thought, “i need money, let’s call michael!”
JaCkSpArRoWhOnEy says:
…she just said she never recalled them being so bad for her, since joe was barely home when she was growing up. and jermaine is a chronic liar, don’t take anything he ever says seriously.
i think the beatings did take place, and they were bad, just nobody was willing to come foreward with it, because your right about it being common back then. the shameful thing is how scarred michael got from it. he was a sensitive kid, it hurt him more than just physically but mentally as well.
JaCkSpArRoWhOnEy says:
@ubtubeviewer121, i don’t believe michael was overexagerating, because the raw fear he had in his eyes when his father was brought up said it all. from when he was little to 50, if someone brought up his father he would be paralyzed in fear. that’s not something you can fake.
the rest of the family never denied the beatings, they just never owned up to it. with janet its different, because when she was growing up joe wasn’t around as much. she never said the beatings never happened…
JaCkSpArRoWhOnEy says:
mcmlxvi, i agree with you. a mother who never said anything about brutal beatings the way joe beated them should be ashamed of themselves. they have to live with the guilt of not doing anything. they have to live with the guilt of their husband scarring their children for life the way joe did to michael. katherine jackson seems to now be a lovely woman, but some things she did in the past just absolutely don’t agree with at all.

OH GOD THATS BREAK MY HEART!!!
utubeviewer121 says:
Well, mcmlxvi who even knows if MJ was not embellishing like he did several times. Janet, Jermaine, Joe and Katherine have always denied his tales, moreover, who didn’t used to beat kids back in the day….and I’m sure after they got signed, it had to have stopped…cause Mr. Gordy says he never saw any evidence of abuse and I assume he’d have stopped it if he did…they were making him money, just like they were for Joe…so he had to smart to not overdo it…just my thoughts.
mcmlxvi says:
Bring your sister to my bench and I’ll guarantee you she’ll be more affaid of me and what I can do to her for not protecting her children than she was ever of her husband. The children are the MAIN reason for leaving, to use them as a reason for staying like you did is beneath a mother’s dignity.
Biter001 says:
@mcmlxvi “Beating” children back in the 50′s was pretty common. We didn’t have child protection agencies the way we do now. I’m NOT saying that was right, that’s just the way it was, UNFORTUNATELY. My sister had no children, so she’s the only one exposed to this crazy man. Women are physically weaker than men, and being beaten is probably pretty scary! Hard to see that, when your a man. This conversation is going nowhere, so it will end here. Try to develop some empathy, it’s a great thing!
mcmlxvi says:
You do understand that a woman that keeps herself AND her CHILDREN in a dangerous or unsafe enviroment because she’s “afraid” is a bad mother. What if one day he went crazy and killed one of the children? Would she have stopped worrying about her own skin and start worrying about the children or would she have kept “waiting”? I don’t “judge”, COURTS do that for us, and to some people whatching too many movies and living out of excuses, that can be a bitter wake up call.
mcmlxvi says:
And I got news for you, if your brother in law was abusing the children and YOU (forget your sister) but YOU did not call the police nor notifyied the propper authorities then YOU committed a crime too, The LAW prosecutes those who did it and those who knew about it and did nothing, so you better get your concepts straight regarding child abuse cause I’m sure you don’t want to see yourself in that kind of trouble.
mcmlxvi says:
You jump from subject to subject like a canary from branch to branch. If a woman wants to wait 5 years to get a divorce from a husband that beats the shit out of her, that’s her problem. A woman that tolerates and covers up for a husband beating the CHILDREN (get it right: THE CHILDREN) should be prosecuted and sentenced to jail, that’s is the LAW, I don’t care in what shoes she’ll walk to jail and neither does the judge, so stop making excuses for this woman, what she did was a fellony.
Biter001 says:
You know, I have a VERY strong sister too. Her first husband (back in the 70′s) beat the crap out of her. Now of all people, I NEVER thought she’d tolerate that. But she did for about 5 years. She was too afraid to leave, but finally got the nerve. I can understand a woman being too afraid to leave, ESPECIALLY if she’s got kids. Hard to understand, but it happens all the time. I think you’d have to walk those shoes, before knowing what you’d do. Condeming is easy, without knowing details.
mcmlxvi says:
You see, I’m a man, but I have a mother, a wife, 2 sisters and 2 married daugthers, and I seriously take OFFENSE BIG TIME when I see a woman condoning or justifying lack of response from another woman against domestic violence, cause there is no question in my mind that that son of a bitch beat the crap out of those kids for years while she did nothing but watch, and further more today she still covers it up for him. FUCK THAT!
mcmlxvi says:
If Katherine Jackson allowed her husband to physically and emotionally abuse her chilcren “in those days”, then Katherine Jackson should have her sorry ass in jail TODAY, You asked me not to “dog” your mother (whatever that means) but I believe your mother would agree more with me than with you (if she raised 6 children by herself) so, are you sure I’m the one “dogging” her?
mcmlxvi says:
Now, if your mother raised 6 children without a husband, what exactly are you condoning katherine Jackson for because of “those days”? So again I ask you, as a woman, in order to improve your own social rights, shouldn’t you have ONE single position in this matter?
mcmlxvi says:
Well, if you jump from domestic violence to equal employment oportunity is hard to keep up with you. Which subject are you debating DV or EEO?? Cause they’re not the same unless you believe that a woman getting paid less than a man is related to her allowing in silence her husband beating her children. You obviously are a woman, shouldn’t you have your ideas in the matter a little bit more organized?
mcmlxvi says:
Excuse me, but the lack of cojones of your own mother does not define an entire decade. All the benefits you enjoy today (if you are a woman) is because hundreds of women didn’t “take it”, not only in the 50′s but in the 40′s and even the 30′s. So speak for your own background. if you ever want to meet a woman that put a stop to the beating and sent her husband to jail for 11 months on charges of domestic violence “in those days”, let me know, I’ll introduce you to my mother.
rebk4jc says:
May God bless her and give her the strength to endure these hard times. She showered her children will lots of love and support. I’m very glad she has Michael’s kids. Michael just adored her.
popcornbutter100 says:
that does NOT sound like her. she sounds too young, BUT maybe it is her.
Biter001 says:
A BEAUTIFUL woman. Back in the 50′s when her children were little, the MAN ruled the house. And if he chose to use belts to spank with, well, that’s what we all got in those days. A wife in those days would NOT stand up to her husband and say “oh no, don’t do that.” It just wasn’t done then. She did the BEST she could do, with the situation. Michael adored her, so obviously he held no grudges against her. ONLY with his Father. Poor, poor Michael.
