^^ that's the heartbreaking truth.

is it any wonder Michael wanted to stay as far away from them as possible?
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I'm really looking forward to watching this today.. I'm not as enthused bout the children being on it.. But whatever.. I'm sure it's going to be interesting anyway.


I'm not a HUGE Oprah fan and its not because of the michael thing.. I like how she gives to charity but i dont like how she always has to create a show bout giving to charity everytime she gives to charity lol KWIM.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Seriously! Did anyone else see Blanket WIPE HIS MOUTH and then proceed to shake hands with Oprah?!?!?!?! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

Aside from that, I thought those kids did great! I'm glad thy weren't the focal point of the show. Basically, there was no new news to report anyway, and Katherine was just giving her pov of everything that's happened. And it ended up the way I thought it'd be. Oprah didn't even ask any different questions. It was all the same stuff!

And I'm definitely not gonna worry about this anymore. The show is over. The kids are fine for what we can see. And their smart as hell. Katherine is obviously still grieving, and we can't expect her to get over this anytime soon. She's from a different generation so I'm not gonna even get started with her and Joe's comments. It's not worth re-hashing these old stories of Michael's childhood. The past is.....well....in the past.

Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Paris is Generous!

I don't know why and ya'll may thing I'm crazy but she reminds me of that little girl from "little miss sunshine" =)
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Where can I watch this in the UK?
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I agree. We do need to thank God that Prince, Paris, and Blanket are so intelligent. :yes:
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I think there are half hour back to watch I guess.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

they are so beautiful,
the only thing i want now is Michael to be with them, and see them growing up,
see how beautiful and perfect children he has.

it hurts that he can't be with them, and can't feel the joy they could give him...

i just wanted him to see his beautiful children and be happy....

:cry: so true. it hurts so much

I saw where tjjackson tweeted his outrage about Michaels new song and how important Michaels legacy is to them. But it's ok to have is legacy be that of a drug addict and plastic surgery addict?I
exactly. the priorities of that family are a joke. someone should tweet them that.

Today 10:15 AM PST by Gina Serpe


It was a morning of firsts on the Oprah Winfrey Show.


For the first time, Katherine Jackson admitted that her son was addicted to plastic surgery. For the first time, after much umbrage taken with the term, Joe Jackson admitted that he beat his children. And for the first time, thanks to daughter Paris, the world learned about Michael Jackson's hidden talent.
Namely, making French toast.


MORE: Is the new Michael single legit?
The wide-ranging interview took place at the Jackson's Encino compound, and while it started out with Katherine, the duo was soon joined by Joe, then Paris, Prince Michael and the exceeding shy (yet pretty adorable) Blanket, along with the other Jackson kids that live at the house.
But mostly, it was about Michael, and while the topic of his controversial single and upcoming Sony album was not even remotely touched upon (the sitdown took place several weeks ago), Katherine did explain why she chose to release a book about her son, Never Can Say Goodbye.
"I wanted to do it for his fans and for the people that misunderstood him…I think of my son all through the day, all the time. I don't like to talk about him because I…," she said, tearing up. "It comes to my mind everyday, yes it does."
Despite the hardship clearly evident in discussing her son's life, Katherine didn't shy away from the talking points about her son, and proceeded to handle every question thrown at her.
First up: plastic surgery. Katherine said that Michael hated his appearance beginning in adolescence and one day announced he would be getting a nose job.
"He didn't want to start looking 'like a spotted cow,' he said," Katherine explained of his multiple skin surgeries to treat his vitiligo. "I don't know what in the world he did to change that, but he did."
As for Michael's claim on Oprah several years ago that he only ever underwent two surgeries in his life, both on his nose, Katherine said, "He had more than two, he was just embarrassed."
"I hear that people get addicted to plastic surgery, and I think that's what happened to him. I said, that's enough."
Though neither he nor his plastic surgeon, with whom Katherine also had a word, listened.
Next up for talking points, Michael's marriage to Lisa Marie Presley.

"It was a surprise for me, he called me after he had married her," Katherine said, saying that Michael put Lisa Marie on the phone to speak with her, though she didn't believe at first that she was actually talking to Presley.
"She had a heavy voice and I didn't know that," she said, adding in a whisper (and yielding some laughs from Winfrey), "She sounded like a black girl."
The majority of the interview, however, was spent discussing Michael's death on June 25, and the life choices that led to that tragic day.
"The worst day of my life," a teary Katherine began. "My heart dropped. And so they called me and said come to the hospital. Michael's in the hospital."
She said that she had an immediate feeling that he might be dead, but that nobody would tell her anything for some time.
"I kind of felt it, but I was wishing that it wouldn't be…They made the doctor tell me. The doctor had to tell us…Dr. Murray."
Yes, that would be Dr. Conrad Murray.
"He came out, and he was talking and it took him so long." Finally, Katherine asked, "Did he make it?"
"He said, 'No, he's gone.' That's all I remember," she said, tearing up. "I'm sorry."
As for Murray, who is facing an involuntary manslaughter charge for Jackson, Katherine said she's thought "a thousand times" what she would say to him.
"Why didn't he take care of my child? Why did he give that [propofol] to him? It's very dangerous, why did he do it?
"I can't accuse him of murder, I don't know if it was accidentally done or it was intentionally done. I don't want to get into that, but I have my thoughts…I don't think I'll ever, ever be healed….It hurts."
Also hurtful was Michael's drug addiction, which he continually denied, even as the family attempted to hold an intervention.
"I spoke to him about [drugs] once, when I had heard it and he denied it. I was telling him I didn't want to one day hear that he had overdosed because it would break my heart…He kept saying, 'My own mother don't believe me.'
"Part of me wanted to believe him, but I didn't believe him."
Katherine said that the hardships in Michael's life led to his addiction, specifically naming his trial for child-molestation as a turning point.
"All his life he had to go through stuff like this and it was trying on him," she said, adding that she never once questioned his innocence. "'I'd rather slit my own wrists than hurt a child,' he'd always say that."
The duo was then joined by Joe Jackson, and both he and Katherine insisted, despite nearly universal beliefs to the contrary, that they were divorced.
Oprah wasted no time in pressing him on his relationship with Michael, particularly his child's claims that he was severely beaten as a boy, something which Joe has always denied.
And today was no different, though this time around, Katherine had had just about enough.
"I don't think he was afraid of me," Joe began. "I never beat him. That never happened."
"You might as well admit it, that's the way black people raised their children," Katherine interjected. "He used a strap."
That settles that, then.
"I don't [regret the beatings]," Joe said. "It kept them out of jail and kept them right."
Oprah then gathered all the children together to chat about their father and their current life.
Paris and Prince Michael are now enrolled in regular school (with eyes toward being an actress and music and movie producer, respectively), though Blanket, the most shy of the bunch, is still being home schooled. However, that might change next year, when he will be ready to enter the fourth grade.
The children were asked about their childhoods, in particular going out in public with masks and veils on their heads—something Katherine noted earlier was not Michael's idea, but actually the brainchild of the kids' biological mother Debbie Rowe.
None of them seemed to have any problem with the unusual disguises.
"When we did go out without our dad, other people wouldn't recognize us," Paris explained. "He tried to raise us without [us] knowing who he was, but that didn't go so well."
"I kinda felt like no one understands what a good father he was," she said. "I'd say he was the best cook ever. He was just a normal dad, except he was the best dad.
"He made the best French toast in the world." Who knew?
"A day doesn't pass," Katherine said. "Sometimes I just hate myself for thinking about it. It's something I just can't help. I think about it with a smile sometimes. Things he used to do when he was a little boy. He always stays on my mind. His memory is with me. They can never take that away."

:cry: so true. it hurts so much


exactly. the priorities of that family are a joke. someone should tweet them that.

And do not forget that Taj was one of the supporters of that ridiculous interview.

Nobody in that family cares about Michael Jackson.

It is time for true fans to see the truth.

I'm sorry for Michael's mother, but She is the person to blame for the abuses that MJ suffered in childhood.

We can not be blind anymore.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Has this already been on?
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

in some places in the usa yes
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I can't believe this. So Katherine in her own words (reading from the article on the last page) said that Michael told her he was not addicted but that she didn't believe him?
Seems to me she has always been influenced by other people regarding Michael when she wasn't around him.

I guess he really didn't have anyone to support him.
Seriously?! Again why did this interview happen?!
Devastating... We should be asking the family about this instead of the stupid song stuff.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

OMG...:cry: That clip.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

That clip brought a tear to my eye. Paris sounds so eloquent and mature there. Michael raised his children well.

How the hell can you say that Michael's blood does not cared for Michael?

Btw I'm not a self-proclaimed fan...

Very aware.. RT @AngelaDF: @tajjackson3 Speaking for many fans here when I ask is your family aware of how much Oprah has disrespected MJ?

Getting many tweets abt Oprah. its vry important 2 not let that same audience of Oprah think wht Oprah said or thought in the past was tru.
Talked to my grandma before she did it.We all want to clear MJ’s name.That’s our first priority. We are trying to set the record straight .
I am the first person who is angry at Oprah and how she turned her back at my uncle. However you let things linger and the world believes.
I personally don’t care what Oprah thinks, but I do care what her millions of audience thinks about my uncle. Esp. when it’s not true at all

It’s time to set the record straight with everyone. RT @feuerkindjana: so bacically your family wants to set the record straight with O?

Me neither RT @planetpatrisse: @tajjackson3 cuz i did not like that so called tribute of hers

How unique & special MJ was. He was too good for this world RT @lexclue: What’s the thruth about him? What’s the most important truth 4 U?
Mj’s legacy is being shaped everyday. I owe it to my uncle to do everything in my power to keep it alive and erase all the untruths.

off to Coffee Bean. Talk to you guys later. Remember stay positive and together we can keep MJ’s legacy alive.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

yup it is time to show that our loyalties belong to Michael not to jackson family.
did any one ask taj ,taryll ,tj so according to them Michael's legacy is drug addiction ,plastic surgery addiction or they are still busy with the song.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I can't believe people are so quick to turn their backs on Katherine and ridicule her.

Everyone is acting like she is trying to taint his name -__-
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

so Taj talked to his grandma about this Oprah interview and he felt his grandma would do good by MJ.. what the hell is going on? It sounds like to me Katherine is throwing her dead son under the bus.

Sounds to me like she is
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Katherine is still grieving terribly. She was in no fit state to do this interview but of course Howard Mann wants to get his monies worth so she has to promote her book, whether she's too fragile to fend off Oprah's disguting interview style or not.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

How the hell can you say that Michael's blood does not cared for Michael?

I never said that. What else this family needs to do for "fans" like you get real?

....So what if she didnt believe him.

I doubt her thoughts had to do with the media, but her observation as a mother. I'm not saying she was correct but nobody is perfect. She did support him, that's why she was concerned in the first place.

Exacly, this is why I wish this whole interview never happened.
It's great to see how smart and sweet the kids are but the whole thing just shouldn't have been done right now imo.
