  1. 1

    Not suprised…



  2. 2

    typical



  3. 3

    someone needs to beat Joe Jackson's ASS!!!!



  4. 4

    omg.. bullshit.
    he totally abused him.
    then he blames it on katherine.

    there's a reason she's in michael's will and not him.
    there's a reason why michael holds her hand. he wouldn't do that if she hit him alot more than joseph.



  5. 5

    Cris Brown is an asshole who beat the hell out of his girlfriend. She doesn't matter — all that matters is having his ass impaled on a splintered-filled fence post.



  6. 6

    What a jerk. But didn't he admit to it recently?



  7. 7

    Omgosh…this episode of Larry King is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen! I can see why MJ kept his distance from his father…he is not all there with it. I like when Larry asked Joe what his fav MJ song was and Joe said the Earth song with all the animals!??

    Doesn't he look like that dog who was just named world's ugliest dog?



  9. 9

    Bullshit. Watch this..then watch a video of Michael talking about the abuse. Sorry. Michael is far more believable.
    Can't tell me Joe isn't a first class ass.



  10. 10

    he's such an ass. Take off the tacky jewelry, you're like 80.



  11. 11

    if nothing else…i think that was an admission!!! we all know from the books of the various brothers/sisters…and the years of interviews and movies…they have all made this claim of physical violence in the home @ the hand of joe!!! many of them…especially the older brothers…have said that their father worked them like slaves!!! …so…if we put 2 & 2 together…he treated his kids like slaves most of their lives…and the notion of abuse comes from slave owners…i wonder if he made them call him massa as well??!!!



  12. 12

    isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????isnt MJ dead???????



  13. 13

    Its so easy for him to say that now that M.J's gone. Michael won't be there to defend himself. It seems like he's trying to get as much press and media as possible.
    Did anyone watch the BET awards? He didn't say anything about Michael, he had his publicist say everything. All he talked about was his record label. He's pathetic!



  14. 14

    At the end, what's in the heart is what matters, this man will never have peace, he know he did wrong to his children and God will judge him, no matter if he admits it to the world or not. He knows



  15. 15

    go fuck yourself joe!!!!!!!!
    you suck ass,you are the worst of the worst!!!
    r.i.p michael
    and may god keep blessing that family



  16. 16

    i wanna rip off his fugly face for being a fucking liar,and child beater.he deserves nothing!!!!



  17. 17

    HE NEEDS TO STOP THIS NONSENSE.
    HE SUCKS ASSSSSS!!

  19. 19

    When is he going to die?



  20. 20

    what a hypocrite.he says beating was back in the day,and then he says he never beat michael,and i know he's lying cuz then he goes on to say,dont parents in america spank their kids?

    you just proved it joe,you beat him.die bitch



  21. 21

    Geez. Unless I am remembering wrong; Michael said his father was physically and emotionally abusive his whole life on both the Oprah and Bashire interviews. You Tube probably has all of both interviews still up. Sad; sounds like Joe is trying to rewrite family history…



  22. 22

    Like anyone is going to believe him. What a tard.



  23. 23

    LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO TO HELL JOE JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  24. 24

    in October 2002 Joe Jackson was awarded a proclamation in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the Best Entertainment Manager of All Time. He did something right. Also, when MJ was on trial in 2005, we often saw Joe Jackson not just in court but walking arm and arm with MJ. I think we are all making more of this then it should be. JJ beat his kids ass like lots of parents did back in the day. He was way too hard on them w/the music but he created at least 2 musical geninuses in the process (MJ and Janet). He loved his kids and they love him.



  25. 25

    wow…i would love it if a jackson would come out and say the whole truth…that would be epic!



  26. 26

    Re: melly23 – what's wrong with sucking ass? if its the right ass its so yummy….instead let's say he eats pigeon crap off the new york floor on times square!



  27. 27

    he said he spanked michael not abused him. he was abusive but he obviously has his own definition of what is abusive.

    is he the worst parent ever?…NO

  28. F18 says – reply to this


    28

    LYING SACK OF SHIT!!!!

    DIE JOE, DIE ALREADY!!! I can't look at those disgusting FAKE TEETH ANYMORE, or listen to that ghetto shit coming out of his mouth!!!



  29. 29

    What a joke. Katherine needs to dump him and get on with the little bit of life she has left with her kids and grandchildren. I'm starting to wonder if Joe's age is catching up with him. He sure has been acting odd. Anyone ever see interviews where he seems lost???? Ughhhh I hate him. If you get a chance try to find the clip of Michael playing chess with Prince……. precious. I saw it on Youtube a few months before Michael died.



  30. 30

    Give him a break. His son just died. Who's going to say publicly "Gee I wish I didn't beat my son" when he's dealing with a wide range of emotions. I don't think it was a fair question for him to ask at this time. Grieving isn't a two week process. It takes years. Besides, most people won't admit they abused someone. It hurts them too much to realize that their behavior really messed someone up.



  31. 31

    whatever hes a LIAR! LIAR!



  32. 32

    Well duh he would deny it, he's a jerk. He really is out trying to exploit his sons untimely death for all its worth at the moment, and come on, look at him, do you really expect an 80 year old man who dresses like he's 30, who wears this constant ugly scowl and those scary eyebrows to be a honest person? No, he's trying to save face and make himself look good throughout all of this, he'll get his karma, don't worry.

  33. fiona says – reply to this


    33

    LIAR LIAR, your pantz are afire… we will hear your whimpering from HELL mr jack sons. You are amoral and soulless.



  34. 34

    As someone who was only "spanked" as a kid, I can tell you that spanking always leads to worse and worse beatings.



  35. 35

    You know, alot of people say that people who abuse children usually do so because they were abused themselves as children. Hmmm…….I think you either agree with that statement or you don't. What do you think Perez?



  36. 36

    ISN'T IT ODD THAT LARRY LIKG HAS HAD JOE JACKSON ON YWICE AND WHY IS LARRY KING SO OBSESSED WITH JOE AND FOR THAT MATTER MICHAEL.
    NOW YOU KEEP SEEING AL SHARPTON AND JOE JACKSON TOGTEHR.
    I READ JOE WANTS BLANKET AND WNATS TO MAKE HIM A STAR BECAUSE HE CAN DANCE.
    REBBIE AND LATOYA BOTH SAID JOE SEXUALLY ABUSED THEM AND KATHERINE STAYED WITH JOE all these years. why??
    money. money that MICHAEL MADE.



  37. 37

    Joe Jackson is a lying prick. His baby is dead. And he still cannot own up to his faults. MJJ was - and still is- his financial gain. :*(



  38. 38

    he is lying and he knows it. ALL of his kids have said he was abusive. NOW, his definition of abuse may be different than what his kids consider it. So perhaps he doesn't think what he did was any more than spanking his children. But, i t's obvious the family isn't close to him. he said on Larry king he doesn't even know where Michael's body is! AND, he never saw his dead body. A father doesn't know who his sons body is? And he was left out of the will. It's clear Michael didn't care much for his dad on a level other than them being father and son



  39. 39

    Re: celebcece – no he's in my basement



  40. 40

    My dad and I were watching it live, its just disgusting. I can't believe he would lie like that… Im sure he regrets it now.



  41. 41

    I don't get it just man up and admit the truth and let Jackson rest in peace. Seriously not cool not at all……..then again if you were truly grieving don't ya think you would not want to be on a talk show at this moment in time!!!! Raking in whatever he can get from his cash cow even after he's gone. So sad



  42. 42

    The whole Jackson clan has issues with truth. Michael lied all the time. He learned from the best apparently. Latoya was a liar and married a psycho. Let's face it. Michael made good music but that was it. Other than that he was a despicable human being. A drug addicted child diddler. America's obsession with him is pathetic. Where were they two years ago when Michael couldn't get a record out in America? They apparently were out healing the world cause they didn't even want to listen to him then. It's disgusting and hypocritical. Joe Jackson is gonna take the American public for an expensive ride and there will be no one to blame except themselves. I won't support him or his efforts to make money on his dead son's name.



  43. 43

    has anyone watched the entire interview….or attempted interview? no offense but both joe and his cohort were all over the map. double taking jive with really nothing concrete….jibberish to the point of illiterate. and this is what michael surrounded himself with? THEN there's debbie rowe's attorney whose looks are VERY disturbing. all i can say is WTF?????!!!!!



  44. 44

    Joe Jackson will have to answer for his actions to God one day. Just like we all will.



  45. 45

    Joe "thinks" he's a model father and truly believes his ways are right. He's closed minded, doesn't allow anyone to speak and if they do he shuts them out. In his mind he thinks he did no wrong because that's what he knows. If he listened to anyone (Michael being one) maybe he could have come to terms with himself. I'm sure Michael would have forgiven him over time if he ever could. As you see he never did. I hope in light of all this he eventually does and sees the pain and heartache he had/has caused to his children. I've never heard him say if I did cause this pain with Michael I am truly sorry. He won't even go there. He can't emotionally deal with that at all. I'm sure Michael gave him plenty of chances but ultimately knew he never was going to change and comes off like he doesn't give a crap. Sad. I could so go on about him.



  46. 46

    you say it began with slavery…but that doesn't condone beating your child. get paid joe, cuz that's obviously what you want. LONG LIVE MICHAEL.



  47. 47

    what an evil ba$tard. Liar liar. he should be dead not MJ



  48. 48

    in the end, God knows the truth. LONG LIVE MICHAEL! you are truly loved around the world.



  49. 49

    ughh. he's such a liar. i really dislike him…….he needs to STOPIT. GAHH im sick of him!

    such bullshit. he is the reason why michael was emotionally unstable, and the reason that he had gotten plastic surgery. karma.



  51. 51

    what a shady goddamned asswipe times infinity.
    explains exactly why Michael surrounded himself with those types.
    makes the skin CRAWL

    i didnt watch it.

    he's lying though

    but i cant even understand a word he's saying. it takes me 10 minutes to figure out what he's saying



  55. 55

    sad so sad



  56. 56

    OMG that guy is such a liar and evry one knows it him and chris brown should start dating because they would be perfect for each other

    He is just that Perez, a crock of shit!



  58. 58

    kanye west & keri hilson do say "real bad michael jackson…real mad joe jackson" i mean c'mon we all know the truth…i hope joe just admits it and asks for forgiveness!!!



  59. 59

    He's a scumbag



  60. 60

    THIS OLD-ASS HAS LOST IT. HE ALREADY ADMITTED TO IT, AND WE ALREADY KNEW HE DID BEFORE. GOD KNOWS HE'S LYING AND IN THE END, THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS.



  61. 61

    Unless any one of you is one of the Jacksons how can you be so certain that Joe was abusive? Seriously, this vilification of Joe Jackson stinks of racism, as if the Perez demographic knows best how a black working class father should have raised several kids in the 60s.



  62. 62

    I don't think he's all there anyway, more than a few sandwiches short of a picnic I think!



  63. 63

    Liar.

    You can tell he's short tempered just by the way he interrupts Larry King. "Listen, listen, listen! Don't cut me off here Larry!" Mental abuse is another thing that probably pushed MJ away from his father. Not to mention Joe saying he never made any mistakes. Please, all parents make mistakes. Then, the man wants to interject a word and Joe won't let him. What - a - fucker. Michael was so right to rid himself of his ABUSIVE father and leave him OUT of his will.

    IN THE LOIUS THEROUX DOCU ON MJ…JOE WAS PAID 5 GRAND TO DO AN INTERVIEW…
    IN THE INTERVIEW LOUIS SAYS "MICHAEL ALLEGES THAT YOU BEAT HIM AS A CHILD."
    TO WHICH COOCOO JOE RESPONDED "I NEVER BEAT HIM. YOU BEAT SOMEONE WITH A STICK, YOU WHIP SOMEONE WITH A SWITCH OR A BELT, I WHIPPED HIM"..
    OOOOHHH, OK THEN, SO 'WHIPPING' HIM WITH A SWITCH OR A BELT IS NOT ABUSE…
    THANKS SO MUCH FOR CLEARING THAT UP CRAZY JOE!!!

  66. 66

    Seriously, how can he keep making statements and commenting on his son when has been dead less than one month. Most people need at least one YEAR to mourn. I know everyone mourns differently but good god he was out flappin' his jaw days after MJ's death. John Travolta gave a written statement but has yet to come out and address his son's death publicly. Joe is just too aggressive. Can you imagine his temper when he was younger?



  67. 67

    wow BULLLLLLSHIT. i hate him, anything that made michael "wacko jacko" is because of this douche



  68. 68

    Such a liar!! Awful!



  69. 69

    Who let that man speak again? He's clearly out of it.



  70. 70

    Oh and one other thing - Joe ADMITTED on a TV program in England that he beat Michael with a whip. Now he says otherwise. Please…



  71. 71

    Gold digger.



  72. 72

    Michael Jackson always attractived more people's attention,after he death,more rumors come out ,I strongly suggest you view more details at ** BIGUKLOVE . c O m ** where you can find me and many handsome black and white men, where I'm waitting for my right

  73. lucyf says – reply to this


    73

    what a jerk! i just hate joseph for beating his boy so badly but dint chris admit to what he did recently? hey if yo have anything, find me at windowswallpaper.org as sometimes i log out automatically due to security errors



  74. 74

    I think the word "beatings" is tripping people up. Michael got whippings/spankings like most of us black folk. That's just the way it was and for my part, it still should be. Not any of that "time-out" crap!

    I don't think he believes he was lying. He sees the word "beatings" totally different from what the media is talking about.



  75. 75

    Why won't this piece of sh!t just die already.



  76. 76

    What an asshole. Not only is abusing your children Not Cool, but if I were Larry King I would have told him that this is my fucking show and I will interrupt anytime I want. He looks and acts like a nasty moither fucker and I KNOW he beat MJ.



  77. 77

    you guys should watch the video on youtube where michael jackson even starts to tear up thinking about all the abuse his father put him through not to mention joe jackson's the reason michael had so many surgery's. joe would tell him how ugly he was etc etc.. so sad. R.I.P .MJ your forever in my heart

  81. 81

    Instead of guessing whether or not Michael was abused-why not read HIS EXACT WORDS from a 1993 interview he did with Oprah:

    Oprah: Why so sad? Because on stage you were performing, you were getting your Grammys. Why so sad?
    Michael: Oh, there's a lot of sadness about my past and adolescence, about my father and all of those things.
    Oprah: So he would tease you, make fun of you.
    Michael: Yes.
    Oprah: Would he…did he ever beat you?
    Michael: Yes.
    Oprah: And why would he beat you?
    Michael: He saw me, he wanted me, I guess…I don't know if I was his golden child or whatever, but he was very strict, very hard, very stern. Just a look would scare you.
    Oprah: And were you scared of him?
    Michael: Very. Like, there's been times when he'd come to see me, I'd get sick, I'd start to regurgitate.
    Oprah: As a child or as an adult?
    Michael: Both. He's never heard me say this. I'm sorry, please don't be mad at me.



  82. 82

    Joe Jackson needs a visit from Dr. Kevorkian. Stat.



  83. 83

    WHERE IS MY COMMENT PEREZ? STILL NOT HERE!



  84. 84

    Some parents don't know better! By that time, maybe it was something usual to do?? At the other hand, he is just an ignorant father. He raised the kids at his best (?).



  85. 85

    Wish it was Joe Jackson 6 feet under and not MJ.



  86. 86

    fuck me gently with a chain saw. This is guy is a trip and a half



  87. 87

    Back in an interview in around 1993 it was Joe Jackson who said he "may have whipped Michael, but he whipped him all the way to the bank." It's disgusting. Money grabbing ASSHOLE at Michael's expense.



  88. 88

    that was an interesting inteview to say the least!!! um what was that…joe was all over the place with his answers and yet never made any sense, he never makes sense!!!! and um hello he doesnt know where michael's body is??? the is a bunch of crap!! anyways his lawyers must really be keeping him on a tight leash seeing as last time he spoke his grandkids were gonna go into showbusiness and he was selling out his record company etc….. real classy joe!!!



  89. 89

    who cares if he beat him now anyway?? If they never called the police on him..I dont feel sorry for anybody he "beat "…no sympathy for allowing that behavior and doing nothing.

  90. didi says – reply to this

    If we had any doubt whether Joe Jackson was gonna go to Hell or not, he just got himself a first class ticket



  91. 91

    …coward …



  92. 92

    LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN NOW UNDERSTAND ME DONT CUT ME OFF

    okaaaaaaaaay.
    he is a creap



  93. 93

    He needs to fucking die!!!!

    Re: eLePhAnT nOsE
    Few french fries short of a happy meal. ;)



  95. 95

    he sounds like he's lying….



  96. 96

    HE HAS FREELY ADMITTED HITTING AND WHIPPING HIS CHILDREN IN THE PAST AND ANY PROBLEMS MICHAEL AND HIS SIBLINGS HAVE HAD WERE CAUSED BY JOE JACKSON. THE MAN SHOULD BE IN JAIL!!



  97. 97

    How about when Larry King asked Joe how he's feeling and Joe said, "About what?" About Michael dying, you fool!

    Joe's an abuser so don't go blaming the victim by saying that it's Michael's fault for not calling the police. All you have to do is watch Michael on the Martin Bashir interview where he talks about the beatings. He cries and says that Joe ("that's 'Joseph' to you") would whip him and throw Michael against the wall as hard as he could. Joe would also practice Michael and his brothers with a belt in his hand. This guy Joe should be put into jail. If he gets anywhere near those kids (Paris, Prince, and Blanket), I'm sure he will abuse them (if he hasn't done so already). Get those kids away from him before it's too late.



  98. 98

    He makes me sick!



  99. 99

    whatever….lie now coz michael cant defend himself from his grave



  100. 100

    Joe you're a lying sack of shit. You're a psychopath as well. It's well documented that you beat the hell out of all your kids with belts, etc. Own up to it.
