It was said mum Katherine has “finally had enough” of dad Joe’s behaviour.


Katherine, 80, has filed for divorce after cruel Joe, who abused ***** as a child, blamed his wife for the death of their son in an interview.


Speaking about the months leading up to the Michael Jackson's death, outspoken Joe, 81, said of his wife: “I begged her to go over and stay with him, but she insisted he needed his privacy.”

The betrayal is said to be the last straw for Katherine, who won sole custody of Jackson’s children Prince Michael, 13, Paris, 12, and “Blanket”, eight, following the singer’s shock death last June at the age of 50.



A long time family friend said: “After 60 years, she’s had enough. She’s been humiliated by him for too long.”



Speaking about Joe’s latest interview, the friend added: “She’s absolutely livid. This time there’s no going back.”


Katherine has been living with family in Encino, California while Joe has been staying in a flat in Las Vegas and spending nights out at seedy joints on the infamous Strip. Until now Katherine has refused to consider divorce because “as a Jehovah’s Witness, she believes that a marriage is for ever,” said the insider.


But the years of humiliation, which reportedly included Joe fathering a lovechild, have taken their toll on Katherine.
In the 1960s Joe managed The Jackson 5, the band made up of his five sons Jackie, 59, Tito, 56, Jermaine, 55, Marlon, 53, and Michael.


In the 1980s it emerged he hit his sons if rehearsals went badly.

Re: Michael's parents splitting after 60 years of marriage?

Wow, is all I can really say. After 60 years? After taking Joe's nonsense for that long I'd probably just stick it out. Good for Katherine, though. I wonder how the family/extended family will react...
 
Re: Michael's parents splitting after 60 years of marriage?

Wow, after 60 years she's finally had enough? I can't believe she even dealt with him for that long. Well good for her, she's a strong woman. I wish her luck. She's a wonderful person and I feel Michael's children will be much safer in just her hands, not Joe's.
 
Re: Michael's parents splitting after 60 years of marriage?

Hasn't she filed for divorce a couple of other times in the past?

I can TOTALLY get her making it definite this time, but I'm going to do a wait and see for some official word before I believe it's really happening now.
 
Re: Michael's parents splitting after 60 years of marriage?

yup it was about time .
 
Re: Michael's parents splitting after 60 years of marriage?

Isn't Daily Star a tabloid?
 
Re: Michael's parents splitting after 60 years of marriage?

Surprised she didn't dump his ass decades ago
 
Re: Michael's parents splitting after 60 years of marriage?

Yes it tabloid and I am going to merge this with the thread in the tabloid section.
 
If it is true then I am not suprised. I'm sure that Joe loved Michael but Michael is simply a cash cow for him. I still can't forgive him for what happened at the BET awards.

"Confirmed: Michael Jackson’s Parents Getting a Divorce

Exclusive

There is trouble in the world of Michael Jackson’s family.

Rumors are swirling that Katherine Jackson and Joseph Jackson are getting a divorce. A friend close to Mrs. Jackson insists this is true.

Confirmed. The friend says a couple of things have contributed to this decision. One is Joe Jackson’s comment last spring that Katherine caused Michael’s death. “She’s never gotten over it,” says the friend.

Then there’s Joe Jackson’s penchant for getting into financial trouble resulting in possible litigation. The word is that Katherine has been advised that she could be vulnerable if Joe is successfully sued.

Katherine Jackson has filed for divorce twice during her long marriage. Both times she decided it wasn’t worth it.

Joseph Jackson lives apart from his wife, mostly in Las Vegas. It’s been fairly well chronicled that he has at least one child from outside the marriage, a daughter by another woman.

Nothing is simple in the Jacksons’ marriage. Money is always at the root of every story. Katherine Jackson is one of Michael’s heirs. Joseph is not. It was Katherine who made the deal with Canadian online gaming whiz Howard Mann to market items from the Jackson warehouse he bought. Joseph was not in the deal.

If the Jacksons are getting a divorce, it makes total sense. If they’re not, it’s just a typical Jacksonian rumor leading up to Michael’s birthday on August 29th. He would have been 52."
 
katherine and joe have been seperated for donkeys years anyway. they are all but divorced in name
 
Not that I wish anyone a divorce, but in this case I'll say it's about time! Joe should have been history a long time ago.
 
Jaafar Jackson said this is not true.

yeh, they've been seperated since the mid-late 90s? & don't live together. she didn't divorce because she didn't believe in it due to religious reasons. so what would be the point now? something to do with money?

Not true according to Majestik.

Hello Fans,This is Majestik Magnificent.I want to speak to you all on certain issues and things I have been hearing.First let me start by saying the announcement you have heard about Mr and Mrs Jackson divorcing is as absolute LIE they are very much together.The press love to try to DIVIDE and CONQUER Please do not fall into their trap or let them and try to divide you from unity.

That's not true. There is nothing to prevent Katherine from divorcing if a husband is unfaithful which Joe has publicly been. So her reasons for not divorcing him were of here own devising.

Michael Jackson's parents Joe and Katherine 'to divorce after 60 years of marriage'

Those of you who "know" me know that I am not the type of fan that believe tabloid stories or who post them here. I don’t' think I ever have done in here. Neither would I do this if I didn't think there was something serious about this. Maybe it's been up here already and then been deleted or it's here somewhere and I can't just find it but I think this time there might be something to the story that Michael's parents are getting a divorce.

I feel sick that this is the only link I can find about the story and nothing that is reliable. However, I have heard from people that this is true, that in fact they are getting divorce. One of the best MJ websites (Reflections On The Dance) out there who is driven by Deborah Kunesh, she is someone put this on the websites facebook page. "Sadly, it has been confirmed to me that it is true that Michael's Mom, Mrs. Katherine has filed for divorce from Michael's Dad, Joseph. The family and Michael's children surely need our prayers at such a difficult time, with this as well as the upcoming trial and Michael's birthday all coming upon them. ~"


Maybe it's not something that should be posted here, it's not our thing, but again it's a discussion board.....
 
Divorce is always difficult. If this story is true let us ask God to bless the whole family especially for Mr. Kate, she always seemed to have a heart so pure.

maybe. wouldnt surprise me. a way for joe to get some $ or maybe shes just had enough after the last year and wants it offical and her religion didnt stop her from divorcing. prob more to do with P.R and keeping the family image going.
 
If this is true..........

Then I wonder what case Joe will come up to get half of Katherine's (and probably Michaels kids as well) share of the estate!!!!!!

My definition of the word 'together' seems to have a different meaning to Majestik! Mr. and Mrs. Jackson have been married in name only for the longest while now and everybody knows that. If you ask me she should've dumped his butt eons ago, but I'm not her. I'll never forgive Joe for that appalling record lable plug at the BET awards just a few days after MJ passed, that told you all you needed to know about Joseph Jackson!
 
About time. I would have divorced him mere seconds after the wedding lol. If this is at all true, I'm glad she's moving on. His comments and his whole way of being suck.

you are correct about divorce due to religous reasons,but i must add that knowing abit of the jw faith as i am a student,that you do have grounds for divorce if one of the partners involved has commited adultary,which we know joseph had,so based on that fact katherine could have divorced him years ago,
 
seems like utter nonsense to me, to be frank I highly doubt Katherine is capable of such a move, Im not even sure that's what she wants.. but then again what do I know.. Im just guessing..
