Katherine Jackson Breaks Her Silence
In her first interview since Michael Jackson's death, Katherine Jackson struck back at rumors pertaining to husband Joe Jackson's relationship with their grandchildren.
Speaking on Geraldo at Large, she said, "I don't know why they're saying he's not being allowed in the house. My husband's never done nothing of the sort that they trying to say he did 39 years ago. I don't understand that, and I just believe it's something that they cooked up."
When asked if Joe is a good grandfather, Katherine said, "Of course he is. And the children will tell you that he is."
And when asked to speak about the investigation into Dr. Conrad Murray's role in Michael's death, she said, "All I know is that my son is dead, and I don't think he just died of natural causes or whatever. He's too young for that. Something happened, I don't know what it was and I can't say."
She also made sure to add that Prince Michael, Paris Michael, Prince Michael II (Blanket) are "doing fine."

what a smarmy shame..mamma jackson is still in denial! her hubby is an ike turner wanna be!
mj did not die of natural causes but he was not murdered either, he was sick & suffering addict. drugs & depression & mental illness & his own personal demons killed him
im not buying the "joe never did anything to michael" part . anyone with eyes can tell and see that michael endured alot of pain from his father . but its great to hear that the children are doing fine . they are my biggest concerns
ike turner? ooopsie! joe jackson!
mj dies from drug addiction, mental illness & his own personal demons!
all the ppl in his life are to blame to be honest. all of them enabled him.
now they all want to stick their hands in the mj cookie jar!
the kids openly talked about the beatings, so is she calling her children liars?
Michael himself said Joe was abusive, so who is the "they" she is referring to? And of course he didn't die of natural causes. He was a drug addict. She needs to get real. It's hard to believe a court would allow the children to live with her, since she is 79 and married to a man MJ said beat him.
Oh great, the only time she breaks her silence is to stick up for that mf…that man will have complete access to those kids and it's a freakin shame!
Don't you mean CONRAD Murray?
No lady, he did not die of natural causes. He was a pathetic drug addict that apparently half the world admires…
In other words - Joe Jackson WILL be around those kids if she gets custody. Why can't someone come forward and say she can only have custody if Joe stays away - a full blown restraining order?
Do these people ever shut up? These should be private matters.
Its Dr. Conrad Murray…not Chad Murray.
rip michael
"I don't think he just died of natural causes or whatever. He's too young for that. Something happened, I don't know what it was and I can't say.".">>>>
here's a clue, moron: DRUGS!!! Your son was a drug addled FREAK and couldn't get a night's sleep without general anesthesia, idiot!!!
No wonder he was so fucked up! A dad who abused him and a mother in denial about it. Sad.
Them chiles needs to take care of grama and gramps just like their daddy and his bros and sists did. They gots it comin caus they thoughts it up.
god, everyone in the family is low-functioning. They probably ALL use tons of drugs; we can tell they don't spend a lot of time studying astrophysics or…high-school level math/psychology/English….who's to say Mrs. Jackson didn't beat the kids too? and who gives a rip???? anyway, lady, people age 50 die of "natural causes" all the time, look around you. duh.
WTF is someone doing giving an interview to GERALDO RIVERA?????!!!! Doesn't anyone remember the empty Jimmy Hoffa vault…and fat suctioned from buttocks and shot into face? Geraldo is scum–a crappy journalist and serial cheater.
Poor brain washed thing.
Of course she stuck up for her husband even after her children have publicly said that he beat them….. women like that always do. I don't understand why an 80 yr old woman who is married to a known child abuser is even being considered as the gaurdian.
Re: Long Dong Connery –
heheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
in my
dreamz….
no he beat em
why would he lie?
even the damn movie portrayed joe as an abuser
i feel way more bad for him
she cant even admit he beat em, my god
what an effed up family
oh ma gersh, if this is all true…..may God have mercy of those kids. It's like one big clusterfuck of a mess set up for them from the moment they were conceived. Poor kids.
Great person to have the kids. She basically said Michael was a lair, I mean THEY, about the abuse from Joe. SO do you believe her when she sates Joe is a good grandfather? I am glad Debbie Rowe has visitation with the help of professionals. It will make sure a relationship with their mother will be guided. Those kids may need that someday to get away from the Jacksons.
If she admits he did what MJ said then she is admitting she stood by and let it happen, not likely she will do that eh?
How sad!!!! Michael is dead which is VERY much related to their family's freakish disfunction and she's STILL in denial about the damage his father did! Now that's SAD! That makes me think his mental illness is coming from an abusive dad and a very co-dependent, abadoning mother!
SEE…..SHE IS IN DENIAL. SHE LOOKED THE OTHER WAY AND WILL AGAIN. THESE POOR KIDS WILL BE ABUSED AS WELL BY THAT PIG, JOE JACKSON!!
AND WHEN SHE SAYS, "THEY" AS IN I DON'T WHY THEY SAY THOSE THINGS….
AHEM…IT WAS MICHAEL WHO SAID IT…MANY TIMES. SO MUCH FOR HONORING YOUR DEAD SON……
i dont think joe will hit those kids cause he already see how many ppl hated him for being abusive to michael , and he knows that if he does ANYTHING to those kids those kids will be tooken from katherine and the rest of the jackson family as well . i think joe is smarter than that . i still think he shouldnt be by those kids though
This senial old bag needs to be put out to pasture along with her douche bag husband Joe. Michael is Gone. Why aren't any of Michael's siblings stepping forward? God Help these three kids. They are going to need ALOT of therapy. Nobody really cared or loved these children, not even Michael, because if he did he would have sought help for his addictions. He was talented, but EXTREMELY SELFISH.
hmmm
to quote Joe J on Larry King
"bunch o' jive"
And when the poor blind pathetic 80 year old Grandma drops dead in a year or two.. you can be sure that good old "Grampa" will take good care of the children! What a horrendous mistake this is. Let Janet take them. JeezUs who wants to grow up with an 80 year old that is clearly brain dead!
This is so sad. All the children spoke of Joe's physical & emotional abuse. I wanted the children to be in Katherine's custody, but that was before I was made aware that she was still married to Joe. Anyone with ears has been listening to his constant interview$ about hi$ $on. Sickening. And even more sickening now that I know Joe will be a very active part in their lives. She should be ashamed of herself for riding it out with an abuser. Maybe Debbie Monroe would have been better after all. Away from the limelight, riding hourse, playing in barns and fields, no masks - you know, just normal kids. NOT something I considered before this.I watch my father (whom I love very much) with my nieces and I see how much more lenient he is with them. He just lights up. I hope, for the childrens sake, this is the case. But he's been taking so much money from media, left and right, that I find that senario hard to believe. I hope he keeps going out on interview$ so that he is away from those poor children as much as possible. Although, I think Aunt Janet will always be there for them and protect them as much as possible.
Re: Sistah Mary – Please try to have compassion for drug abusers. Some never went looking for it. In MJs case it looks like painkillers from the fire kick-started it. And once you start, it's almost impossible to get off. And even the users who did 'go looking for it' seem so sad and are trying to escape. I'm not condoning it, I'm just saying that empathy for all but the most evil people is a good Karmic thing, and an humane one.
Re: Octavarium – see my previous comment. I don't get all the judgement and hate.
bless the jacksons
she should stop talking and take care of hergrand children that really need her support.
Re: Amber! – you are scum. do some research before opening your mouth.
I feel sorry or Katherine she is under so much pressure right now!
She seems like a sweet lady but she is somewhat responsible for her kids trials. She wants to beleive the best of everyone but she was living in a dream world while her kids suffered a hard reality.
Re: Lucky Lucy – I agree.
NO,KATHERINE,NO! Don't let Joe near those kids! Please! He'll try to "teach" them music,too! At least let THESE kids have a decent childhood. Your kids never got one!
"Breaking her silence" just shows her to be as classless as the rest of them. And here is my favorite: "My husband's never done nothing of the sort that they trying to say he did 39 years ago." That THEY trying?
That mother looks like she's had a lot of plastic surgery as well. Is there anyone in the Jackson family who remains untouched? And……..why is that child called Blanket? What kind of nickname is Blanket?
he was a pedophile
i am still mourning Michael and my sincere condolences go out to the Jackson family, friends and fans. No matter what the media is trying to portray, Michael was murdered and everything in darkness has to confess to the light. FOREVER MICHAEL!
Re: Susie-Q – The reason they call him Blanket is because his first name is Prince also and to avoid confusion MJ created his nickname of blanket. I think MJ said once it's because he always carried around a certain blanket!
