Jackson Family Profits Off Michael's Death!!!!

Filed under: Michael Jackson

wenn5317073__opt1.jpg

We knew he'd get something out of it!

When Joe Jackson sat down with ABC News to discuss the family and Michael's death, he was getting paid $200,000!!!!!!

Though ABC News technically didn't pay for the interview itself, they did fork over the $200k as a "licensing fee" for rights that Joe Jackson had to a year-old video featuring Joe and Katherine Jackson in a reality show project.

Yuck!

Portions of the 45 minute interview have been featured on Good Morning America, Nightline and an hour long Family Secrets special.

    And your surprised because??? That's Joe asshole Jackson!



  2. 2

    He should reimburse the city of LA with that mula



  3. 3

    He should use that money to pay some of the bill for that memorial service in LA that costume 1.4 million dollars.



  4. 4

    Joe Jackson mentioned during the interview that both Paris and Blanket might have futures in show business. How scary to hear, coming from him. Let's hope he keeps his ass in Las Vegas and away from his grandchildren and Katherine. He's done enough damage to his own children.
    And what's up with his eyebrows and 'stache??



  5. 5

    what a surprise, not, let him pay for the funeral etc



  6. 6

  11. 11

    he got paid $200 G for rights to a video, not the interview



  12. 12

    makes me sick.



  13. 13

    that is so wrong and immoral considering he beat his kids 24/7 i wouldn't exspect any more from a man that abused his kids and obviously scared mj ,joe is gonna burn …he looks like satin so it wont bother him. R.I.P MJ KING OF POP



  14. 14

    Dayummm looks like the Krypt Keeper



  15. 15

    i think alot of people will profit from this. so fucking what



  16. 16

    People are making a
    shameless profit and
    promoting themselves
    with the death of
    The King Of Pop
    Michael jackson?
    .
    I'm shocked, SHOCKED!!!



  17. 17

  18. 18

    That is possibly the single, most scariest picture I have ever seen in my entire life….



  19. 19

    Re: craigchaos – why would it make you sic just by logging on to piggy's site you have allowed perez to profit from his death. what is the differance?



  20. 20

  21. 21

  22. 22

    i hate his eyebrows, the drive me crazy!



  23. 23

    my heart hurts

    LA should pay for EVERYTHING the LAPD wastes money on stupid ass things so the least they can do is pay 1.4 millon for a maan who gave over 300 million to charity over his lifetime.



  24. 24

    He looks and acts like a broke pimp.



  25. 25

    What a SHOCKER !

    Boy, Joe Jackson SURE IS UGHHHHHHHHHHHH-LEEEE !

    You can betcha that he'd have to pay for some nookie. Katherine Jackson looks much better, at age 79 !

    UGHLEEE MAN, ALL AROUND.



  26. 26

    He's not the only one profiting. Were'nt you bragging the other day how your website traffic skyrocketed because of MJ's death and your knuckle sandwich and bitch crying video?



  27. 27

    Um…it's not the "Jackson Family"…it's JOE Jackson….he's always been slimy…don't lump the rest of them in with this abusive, manipulative, greedy prick.



  28. 28

    Joe Jackson is the DEVIL. I can't believe they FORCED Paris to speak when she didn't want to.

  29. nizzy says – reply to this

  34. 34

    he's an disgusting person who don't gave a shit about MJ alive and Don't give a shit about MJ death.
    And look at him( OMG, fake eyebrow )! he could play in a Thriller remake. you should make $$ on his eyes.



  35. 35

  36. 36

  37. 37

    I CANT STAND HIM !!!!! HE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE DOGS ON A PICTURE I RECENTLY SEEN THE DOGS WERE PLAYING POKER ! HE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THEM !



  38. 38

    he's not a human. never was. he's such an animal. HIS KARMA IS COMING SOON THOUGH, I CAN FEEL IT.



  39. 39

    wow.. they should be honoring him not making money off of him.. and can we please stop obsessing over MJ? 9 soldiers died in afghanistan since monday, and i dont see ANYTHING about them on TV! stupid stupid stupid.. THERE WOULD BE MUCH LESS OF A WORLD AND COUNTRY AND LIVES TO "TOUCH" IF THERE WERE NO TROOPS!



  40. 40

    I'm not surprised at all. That man is a terrible person.



  41. 41

    DISGUSTING!!!! Like Michael said in an interview with Oprah in January of 1993, "I wish I understood my father." RIP! You are free from those that condemned you, profited from you and didn't believe in you. I am sad that Michael felt he needed to medicate, but I understand it. Blood sucking vampires - all of you.



  42. 42

    this guy doesnt care much about his kids
    its all money money money



  43. 43

    Re: SACHI – LOL good comparison



  44. 44

    LET HIM PAY FOR THE FUNERAL ETC



  45. 45

    Are the tax payers still footing the bill for that stupid memorial?



  46. 46

    No surprise…all you had to do was listen to him at the BET awards to know what a scumbag he is…and shit, bad plastic surgery runs in the family.



  47. 47

    JOE JACKSON IS A REPULSIVE MONEY GRUBBING PIG!!!! LET'S HOPE HE JOINS MICHAEL REAL REAL SOON!!!!!!!!



  48. 48

    You really get on my nerves how you judge everyone except yourself. You don't know what kind of financial shape the jackson's are in or how much money Michael really has left. You don't know where that money is going to. This could be going to help Michael's debt or go to his kids or who the fuck cares. Its none of your business!!!!! Where does the money you make from exploiting celebrities and calling teenagers sluts go to? You should have learned from getting popped in the mouth or calling Michael Jackson's ultimate death a publicity stunt. You talk too negatively man. I only come on here cus sometimes you do have positive stuff but Im really starting to rethink that.



  49. 49

    You guys kill me calling Jo Jackson names… Again you all don't know him, Michael or any of the Jacksons you just know what you read. Yes Mike said somethings about his father but he also said he loves his father. dedicated awards and albums to BOTH parents. And y are you all hating on the man that shaped the careers of the icon (and Ms. Icon Janet) and the other jackson who you claim to love. Let them do what every other normal family does…. love, make mistakes, fuck up, argue, love, forgive, laugh and survive.



  50. 50

    Re: The Radical Queen – And how much better are you for calling for a man's death!! Just as repulsive!!!!!!!!



  51. 51

    that man is real ugly…. inside and out. back in the day he used to sleep with mike's groupies. UGH… who would have sex with that thing? even back in the day he was unattractive.



  52. 52

    The man looks like the devil…really…look at him!!



  53. 53

    What the fuck is up with his eyebrows?



  54. 54

    Well obviously , look at him , he looks like satan



  55. 55

    PEREZ needs to stop being such a HYPOCRITE to have the AUDACITY to comment on The Jackson Family especially Joe about profiting from the loss of Michael when YOU PEREZ make a living profiting from celebities Unfortunate Circumstances self enduced or not! Did I read that you had a record month for hits??? Umm lets see could that had been due to MICHAELS Death and you Blogging about it non-stop? I am all for you profiting from it and it's a great business Idea for you but do not insult us with write ups like this one!



  56. 56

    Exactly how can he profit if he sold a video that Michael is not featured in? You're profiting as well by reporting stories about Michael. Same boat share your paddles.

  57. 6one9 says – reply to this


    57

    Now that's FUCKED up ya'LL!!!!! SOOOOOOOOO many ppl out of work and this douche is getting PAID 200K.. FUCK that !!!



  58. 58

    Look at him!! the man just oozes MEAN!!!



  59. 59

    I know I should not encourage this…. But if they want to get Michael's debt gone they kind of have to.. Musical artist are only paid per concert they perform at so morons like Lil' Wayne, Kanye West, and all the others that cancel are losing money. And in this economy I would add dates rather than cancel them, Disaster happen? Move it to another location, if it's a bigger venue then sell extra tickets an honor the ones already purchased.

    But in the case like they have where the performer is dead, you do what you can to help erase the debts already there. I mean I'm sure that some of the already massive amount of record sales a good chunk of that debt is been wiped clear.

    I look for them to buy back Neverland and turn it into the new Graceland.



  60. 60

    Holy shit….that is literally the scariest man I have ever seen….who wouldn't be scared shitless of him as a child….??!!??



  61. 61

    I don't blame him, he is what he is. I blame the media outlets for deciding he's worth any air time.

    he needs a style consultant.



  62. 62

    Yawn.



  63. 63

    People that ugly shouldnt be allowed out in public to make the rest of us suffer having to look at them.



  64. 64

    scarry man



  65. 65

    The more I hear about this guy, the more I understand why MJ was a emotional wreck.



  66. 66

    DID THE MORTICIAN MAKE UP ARTIST
    DO THE WRONG PERSON? HAHA!!!!!!



  67. 67

    Perez, from now on refer to this parasite as "SHAMELESS JOE"



  68. 68

    viejo choto ewww



  69. 69

    He is a fucking ass and before we know it the 3 kids will be a pop group called the The Jackson 3. He is a horrible man and it is sad that Michael had to endure what he put him through. Karma will come back and kick his ass…



  70. 70

    They should give all of it to L.A. to pay off that nearly fucking $2 million memorial….How the fuck was it that much anyways? Did the city pay for his damn golden casket too???



  71. 71

    And the family isn't paying for MJ's funeral because… ???
    wtf, Joe. wtf. I can't stand that guy.

  72. gott says – reply to this


    72

    Now I know where I've seen him before… he was on Buffy's final season guarding the Hell Mouth.



  73. 73

    I see daddy likes the makeup too. Look at those brows, YIKES



  74. 74

    ~~~~TEAM KATHERINE. HE MAKES ME SICK.~~~~



  75. 75

    I can't stand this asshole! He made Michael's life hell when he was alive and he is still at it. He's like the devil. The Jackson family needs to put a muzzle on him and make him go away and stay there! They need to realize that he is a bad reflection on all of them.



  76. 76

    He looks like an insect or something…can't figure out which one. Praying Mantis???



  77. 77

    If the mags are making money then why shouldn't the Jackson family….I say why not no harm done.

  78. tay<3 says – reply to this


    78

    joe is a meanie



  79. 79

    Fuck you Perez and everyone else. Leave the family alone.



  80. 80

    .
    He gives me the creeps

  81. zarle says – reply to this


    81

    Ok, what is up with the painted on eyebrows and moustache?



  82. 82

    i think he used my grandma's red maybelline pencil to fill in his eyebrows… anyway, the only man i trust with a pencil-thin moustache is john watters. he was going to make money off michael's death one way or another.



  83. 83

    Joe and Katherine Jackson were making money off of Michael when he was alive (how Joe and Katherine got what they have today, off there kids) and still making money off Michael's death. Katherine wants everything Michael ever had in his life. Both of them are fucking hypocrite from profiting from there kids. (THEY ARE BOTH TO LAZY TO GET A REAL JOB)
    But this takes the cake Joe Jackson profiting from the loss of his own son…
    I can understand to why Michael was an emotional wreck.

    Joe and Katherine Jackson are no better then the devil… GO TO HELL JOE & KATHERINE JACKSON YOUR ASS IS GOING TO BE BLACKER THAN WHAT IT IS NOW…

    R…I…P… MICHAEL… JACKSON… KING… OF… POP…



  84. 84

    He is a really sick man! He screwed his kids up, Michael was so talented and I believe he talked the way he did because he was very shy, and also because his father probably scared the shit out of him since he was younger so he just always talked really "small" all of the jackson siblings talk that way if you listen to them. Joe Jackson needs help big time. He is such a hard and coarse man, but michael loved him anyway and forgave him. he did the RIGHT thing, although Joe apparently is not and never will.. stay away from those children joe!



  85. 85

    i really hate that guy. i hope katherine keeps those kids as far from his reach as possible. it seems like the last thing mj ever wanted was for them to be in the public eye and already joe is talking about how paris "wants to do something". i think janet should raise them…if she wants to. she would be such a good mom and they already seem to love her.



  86. 86

    OMFG. he is scary as fuck…



  87. 87

    my god he is ugly



  88. 88

    :( Im not surprised at all….hes horrid!
    And in my oppinion, one of THE FUGLIEST people on earth!
    Hes hideous, if i had the misspleasure of meeting him I would tell him exactly how I feel about him and punch him in the throat!



  89. 89

    It's entertainment. Michael was and continues to be so and will, probably, forever just like Elvis. I wonder when the MJ sightings will start. Joe is getting his kick at the cat as will others, Perez included. I don't agree with a lot that is written here and believe even less…..cause it's entertaintment.



  90. 90

    Look this face!,Mr.Joe Crooked,Shame on you.



  91. 91

    I hate that bastard and I still can't stop crying. I am so heartbroken. I love you Michael…RIP



  92. 92

    Looks a lot like Satan to me!



  93. 93

    This man is such a creep.



  94. 94

    Re: snowbunnyniki – Finally a smart person on this damn board! WHO THE HELL SHOULD PROFIT OFF MICHAEL, IF NOT HIS FAMILY??! TONS OF SO CALLED FRIENDS LIKE DEEPAK AND GOTHAM CHOPRA, URI GELLER, NURSES, BODYGUARDS, ARE SELLING INTERVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME MJ'S FAM DID!
    THEY ARE BROKE LADIES AND GENTLEMAN. MJ WOULD HAVE WANTED IT. DAMN, I WISH I HAD A VID OF MJ TO MAKE $200,000!!!! PLUS HE AND HIS WIFE ARE SO OLD, THEY CAN NEVER GET A JOB. WHAT DO U WANT THEM TO DO?? THEY HAD RESPECT NOT TO DO IT WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. AND GET OVER THIS THING WITH HIM AND MJ WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER. YES, HE WAS A LITTLE HARSH ON HIM. BUT IT ALL WORKED OUT. COUNTLESS PEOPLE HAVE SAID MJ AND HIS POP PATCHED THINGS UP AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. IF THE PERSON DOES NOT HATE THE OTHER ANYONE ANYMORE, WHY THE HELL DO YOU?



  95. 95

    Re: jasonslyric07 – I AGREE! PREACH TO THESE DUMBASSES!



  96. 96

    Re: WeAreTheWorld – what the fuck are you saying? who should earn money from a child if not the parents???????? who CLOTHED HIM, FED HIM, TAUGHT HIM? JOE BUSTED HIS ASS WORKING TO KEEP FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR 9 KIDS! THANK GOD MJ WAS SO TALENTED THAT HE COULD HELP HIS FAMILY! THANK GOD FOR JANET TOO! MY GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID! BOY IF YOU EVER BECAME RICH I'M SORRY FOR UR PARENTS; THEY WON'T GET A CENT FROM U! YOU'RE SO DELUSIONAL! MICHAEL WANTED HIS MOM AND DAD TO HAVE MONEY!!



  97. 97

    This man has the look of a devil. His wicked, knarled face shows his years of greed, abusive, misery … he has caused others. God forbid he gets his hands on Michael's children. He and Jesse Jackson belong in the same pot.



  98. 98

    Al Gore invented reality television and with each relevant interview and cash transaction he receives a 30% cut.



  99. 99

    damn Joe :( noone profits from a death in the family…sad loss
