Exclusive: La Toya Jackson Opens Up on Family's Grief, Future

Ah yesss. LaToya aka Diarrhea of the mouth. Definitely did NOT miss her interviews.
Momma Jackson needs to open a can of whoop ass on some of her kids so they can keep it together!
 
I don't see what the big deal is over the interview. I expected it to be much worse. She did nothing to fuel the fire and her answers were appropriate in regards to the burial, kids, and the case.

Alot of fans forget MJ loved attention, and I am sure he is smiling in heaven that the world stopped for him 2 months ago.

On another matter, as much as I love MJ, his lack of credibility on some subject matters have opened his life up to scrutiny. For example, the plastic surgery denials and the paternity of his kids even though it is really anyways business. I think Tom Messearu in court slipped during the trial, according to RF, and stated that MJ was not the father of Prince and Paris.However, like latoya said, it does not matter regardless especially legally.
 
Hmm I could have really done with out knowing how fresh Mike looked in his casket. She gave a lil to much detail

Same here. And "they" better not show his open gasket in the TII movie. It would be in VERY bad taste to traumatise us like that, but I don't put it past Sony.

1- MJ didnt like that kind of attention he is having now do you think he is smiling in heaven when ppl say that he is not the father of his kids and a drug addict?

2- its none of our damn business how many plastic surgery he had that something he didn't wanna share and we should respect that

3-and those children are his so ppl should shut the f*ck up and leave them alone

4-the fact that you believe every thing RF is just ignorant coz if your truly an MJ fan you would know that 99.9% of what the media says is bullshit
and how the hell could RF know these stuff when he was not there?
 
Messearau is way too professional to say something like that. Why would he say something like that about his client, who clearly was saying the oppossite?! The media would have made a big scandal out of it, if it were true. Also who cares if he is the biological father?! I am sick and tired of people speculating, he gave them his name and raised them. Period. Also, Latoya doesn't need to open her mouth about everything. This goes right back to 1993. She's too fake in my opinion.
 
you know what I didn't even read this mess. Nor did I read the last interview from (the sun I believe) that tabloid she ran to, nor will I read the next. I for the life of me don't know why everybody has to run out to the media and "SQUALK" like BIRD. I mean do some of these family members not know who the media IS, and how the media did their brother, and how michael couldn't stand the media. Yet they go to the that very thing (the media) and SQUALK as LOUD as possible. But you know what the sad part is, its that they don't even know what they be talking about, they contradict either other, and they act like they know what michael WANTED so much and they werent even close *coughjermainecoughburymjatNeverLcough* with michael (imo). And saying things about the kids paternity...um as if michael would be glad about that. You didn't say JACK about the kids before he passed, why start now??-_-

And to be honest why do they keep saying "I was told not to speak on that"? We all know it Katherine telling them to shut they wide mouths. But the sad thing is they have to be told. I couldn't believe it when I heard tito say that (and jermaine). Its like I would tell you everything but I can't or momma might put her foot up my behind. I mean shouldn't you know by yourself to keep your mouth shut and stop running to the media every chance you get. Do the jackson honestly think that the media is interested in THEM. Um NO!!!! They just want to use you for a story on your brother. Why is that concept so hard to grasp.:doh:

BTW Latoya shoulda been ASHAMED of her less then classy behind at the burial with her BACK OUT and low cut dress. This is a funerial, not the club, cover yo' behind. :bugeyed...A doggone shame she was. -_-

oh yeah OT but...why was lisa raye at the burial sittin next to AL? She knew mike?

1. I think MJ would have loved how his albums sold millions, and for weeks people couldn't stop talking about him. The world did stop for him when it was reported that he passed.

2. I know it is no ones business how much plastic surgery MJ had, but when he lied in Moonwalk and with the Bashir interview about only having 2 nose jobs and nothing else done , his credibility started to fade, IMO. He should have said no comment and left it like that.I think that is why the media is always in MJ business because everything is a mystery and there is a lot of evidence to refute some of the things he said. It really doesn't to take an expert to see that MJ from Thriller to Bad to History to Invincible is not the same. Like I said before, it is really no ones business, but I am just giving an example.

3. Ok sure....Like I said Latoya didn't make any statements about the kids that were inappropriate. Blanket mother is obviously Latino heritage.

4. RF has been on the money despite how MJ fans have said. I don't believe everything I read, and I have enough education to distinguish when a source is credible or not. Like I said, you have to take the good and the bad when it comes to Michael. That is what make me a true fan,IMO!

Despite her over the top persona, Latoya has more knowledge about Mike than anyone on this board. What she says have some weight!
 
latoya - shut up and sit down!

For real! Look how she even told abc to say that she did not receive compensation.

Sure not in the usa, but outside the usa ???

amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
3. Ok sure....Like I said Latoya didn't make any statements about the kids that were inappropriate. Blanket mother is obviously Latino heritage.


Actually he could quite "obviously" be a few other things. Wasn't Michael himself asked about Blankets mothers heritage? Does what she said match what he said or DIDNT say for thay matter? I don't think she was in the place to give out such information really. There's already enough speculation with those poor kids. She was feeding the flames with that one.
It just shouldn't be up for discussion like that.
 
Ah yesss. LaToya aka Diarrhea of the mouth. Definitely did NOT miss her interviews.
Momma Jackson needs to open a can of whoop ass on some of her kids so they can keep it together!

lmfao "open a can of whoop ass on some of her kids!" haahahah i laughed so much with this!! lmao

and i personally think that out of all the 3 kids Blanket is the one i'm 100% positive IS HIS. and i'm pretty sure about the other two too. Michael never denied paternity, he just never stated their mothers. I don't think it matters who is the bio father. Father is who raised you, not he donated to have you.

those kids LOVE michael and i don't think they care on whether or not they are really his. To them, they are always going to be his kids.

oh and i'm 100% sure that prince is his too. my reason's, prince looks like blanket, their faces do. And both kids have dark, pitch black eyes. That is certainly not common among blondes, brunettes etc. IDK about you guys, but i've never met a white person with light hair with black eyes. and paris, is naturally olivish skin, tan. Latoya needs to NOT talk about the kids at all IMO. Everything else was fine until she got to the kids.
 
I don't understand why LaToya can't talk about what she thinks about Michael's death without bringing up the children. Just like Jermaine, always mentioning the children. It's unnecessary right now. She can say that they are alright and adjusting, but she does not have to go into details, esp the details she tends to like to go into.

I thought this interview was about what she suspects about Michael's homicide and who the suspects could be. Now to me that is a more interesting topic than the children at the moment. . . but mostly because I want the children to be left alone.
 
I'll record it, and upload it in the 2000watts section

I look forward to it! thanks.

I'mma wait to actually see the vid before I comment on what she says, but I agree with Soso that the family should git they stories straight, if for the only reason making them look united.
 
I do not like when people hate on the Jackson family, but I really have some issues with La Toya. It is not what she did to Michael in 93' lying and saying he molested other children and the Katherine seeing the checks he wrote to those children parents. But it is the way she appears now, in my book she does not appear remorsefull for what she has done at all.

In 2005 with the alvarros (can't remember how to spell name) accusations she supported MJ but she should of showed more regret for what she had done. Yes she had an abusive husband, but that statement in 93 was not the only bad thing she said about MJ and the family she said a number of things. If i were her I would of scream and shouted for help at the press conference to let ppl know I was doing this against my will. She seemed to be a little in to it for me.


Now I am all for forgiveness but I also need to see that a person is really sorry for what they have done. And i'm sorry when La toya talks I do not feel any regret from her for what she has done. She needs to be quiet and let other ppl like Janet talk, who seems to be more careing and thoughtfull. I really do not want hear her give a next interview and I would not be watching. I wish I could tell that I do not want to hear because her interviews do nothing to compliment Michael.
 
OK, I just have to comment here, he did not LIE about the two nose jobs. Surgeon said that himself. Corrective surgery is not a nose job. He had two operations to change the shape of his nose and he also stated the cleft in his chin.

The problem is fans take tabloid information as fact. Don't call Michael a liar when you truly don't know. I am going from what has been said by his doctor and Michael himself. His vitiligo and age makes gives the illusion that more was done.

I would like to know what that slip up is, because Roger has been saying that for years but has never actually provided a quote. I think Roger's full of sh.. with that one, especially since he seems to be the only person in a courtroom full of people to have heard it..
 
Thanks for posting! I like this part: "I don't think we'll find a person as talented, a person who thought the way he thought. A person with the heart that Michael had," La Toya, 53, told Walters. "People aren't that way anymore. He was special. He wasn't God, but he was certainly God-like. He was the closest thing to a god that I knew."
 
the chef did say that Murray called for Prince so she isn't making this up
and what exactly did she say about the kids that bothers you so much? she said Blanket's mother might be hispanic, that might as well be true did you see what Blanket looks like?
and she's saying that Michael is the one and only father they ever knew, and that he was a good father
what else did she say? that's she's angry about Michael's death - of course she is!
I see it's fashionable to love Janet and hate Latoya I think that's kind of childish
 
i cant stand latoya she should never be forgiven how she turned against MJ during the allegation days.......with sisters like that who needs enemies.
 
yea she sounds as serious or as informed as joe did when he 'confirmed' mj had another son. wtf?


:clapping: agreed

i try hard to think that she means well but shes just loopy and unintelligent

poor michael :( he would HATE his kids being discussed like this

she did make some touching comments tho

(11-9-2009) La Toya Jackson says her brother Michael looked "absolutely fabulous" when he was laid to rest last week.

In an interview on ABC's "20/20," she tells Barbara Walters that the King of Pop was dressed in white pearl beads and a big gold belt, "like a belt that you win being a boxer."

"His hair was done beautifully, his makeup was done beautifully," she says.

A pair of sunglasses and a white glove were among the items placed in the casket with him.

Michael Jackson's death on June 25 from a fatal combination of drugs has been labeled a homicide by the coroner's office. Prosecutors are still investigating, and no charges have been filed. But La Toya Jackson says she blames her brother's death on "any and everybody" who gave him drugs.

"They're doctors!" she says. "This is going against their license."

She calls her brother "special," explaining that "he wasn't God, but he was certainly God-like. He was the closest thing to a god that I knew."

The interview is scheduled to air Friday, September 11, 2009 at 10 p.m. Eastern.

^^
I AGREE TOTALLY HE WAS GOD-LIKE

.
she was dealing with a criminal who was threatening to kill her family it was not that easy. the Jacksons they always had to look out for people like him, remember Tito's ex-wife was killed by a guy who thought he could milk money out of her because she was a Jackson? it's just not THAT simple when to comes to the jacksons their lives have always been complicated, people judge Michael and Latoya and everyone in the family so easily without seeing the big picture, and not only that but they speak as if the family owes them something and they have the right to judge them and that includes fans as well

latoya is discsussing other human beings ...very different

So true! :cry: :(
 
Just because LaToya is family and now (since Michael's death) has had contact with the children does not make her credible. She knows nothing about her own brother, they were not close in the last 25 years or so. It doesn't take a scientist to work that out! And I don't blame Michael from distancing himself.

There is a reason why Michael never dominated her or any of his siblings as guardian of his children. If you believe LaToya, than you believe there is some truth to what she has claimed in the past:

*Michael is a pedophile
*Michael & Lisa Marie don't have sex
*Taryll is not Tito's son
*She and other siblings were molested by Joe

And the list goes on.

What she has done, no pure person would do such evil acts. She is mentally insane. I seriously have concerns about her mental state, she is not all there. I am not just saying that because I dislike her actions, I honestly believe so.
if mike could forgive his sister then 'FANS' need to let it go. need i remind u that jack gordon was by her side for all of that...where's the bash jack thraed?

this is all just miscommunication or family feeling differently about things. but they all need to present a united front cuz then they all look clownish. close? my butt
 
La Toya Tells Barbara Walters: Michael Laid to Rest in 'Full Makeup,' With Iconic White Glove in Casket


.

Michael was laid to rest in a private ceremony last week, nearly two months after his death, at the iconic Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, Calif. La Toya told Walters that her brother looked "absolutely fabulous."
"He was dressed in all white pearl beads going across, draped across. A beautiful big gold belt. Like ... Like a belt that you win being a boxer," she said. "Full makeup. ... His hair was done beautifully, his makeup was done beautifully."
According to La Toya, in addition to the stones Paris placed on his chest, the family put sunglasses, an iconic white glove and a few other items in the casket with him.

Okay here is where I am confused here. Wasn't Michael dress by his costume designer Mike and wasn't it stated he was wearing black and a black glitter glove? Or am I losing it. ( This was on facebook during the Staples Memorial) That he looked like an angel.

Not that it matters...
:scratch:
 
by the way Latoya's house in Las Vegas went into foreclosure . she has a $750.000 loan , so you know now why Michael "told" latoya blankito is a Hispanic . another theory maybe jordan and gavin well i won't go there now but believe me Latoya will go there very soon .

HUH? What does one thing have to do with the other?

I don't get this either. What are you implying?
 
but that's his business to lie about if he wants
I agree. It was really no one else's business. Unfortunately when you are obviously lying about something, then you lose credibility. It can transfer to other areas too, that you aren't lying about.

It looks to me that Michael had at least 3 nose jobs before 1989, and then other "reshaping" jobs after that.

latoya is discsussing other human beings ...very different
I don't see what's so bad about saying that he is of Hispanic decent. He looks Hispanic and black to me. LaToya was only talking about who the mother was at that point.

Far as discussing who the biological father is, I think it's something she may've been asked about, as opposed to just coming out with that herself. Many people are curious about the biological parentage of the kids. That doesn't mean that Michael wasn't their father in every other way, and it doesn't demean him as a parent/father. If he had adopted his children we would be curious about who the biological parents were too.

I am wondering why he asked a few of his friends to donate sperm. Why didn't Michael want to be the biological parent of his children?
