Jackson's Mum Admits Star's Addictions Share Share Comments
1:14am UK, Tuesday November 09, 2010

Andy Winter, Sky News Online

Michael Jackson's mother has admitted the singer was addicted to drugs and claims she tried to stop him having plastic surgery.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey alongside the pop star's children, Katherine Jackson has also questioned the role her son's doctor, Conrad Murray, played in his death.

Describing how she had once challenged Jackson about his abuse of prescription drugs, the 80-year-old said: "I was telling him I didn't want to hear one day that he had overdosed because it would break my heart. He kept saying he wasn't."

She also spoke of how she had tried to stop the troubled singer having plastic surgery on his nose, which got so small.

"I had told him: 'That's enough, why do you keep going?'" she said.

Asked about Dr Murray, who is awaiting trial accused of involuntary manslaughter, Mrs Jackson said: "Why didn't he take care of my child?"

The singer's personal doctor is due in court again in January charged with negligence in administering what turned out to be a fatal dose of a powerful anaesthetic to help him sleep.

Jackson's mother added: "Why did he leave the room? Why did he give that to him?"

Meanwhile, Jackson's children - Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II, who is also known as Blanket - described their father as "normal".

Gosh ... and they show Blanket wiping his nose with his hand just before shaking Oprah's hand ... :)
Wonder if that was planned .... hahahaha???
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I think Katherine is like my grandma when it comes to finance etc..She had never had to focus on this when the jacksons were growing up..Had NOTHING to do with it, therefore she has practically no idea about business..Now, because of whats happened she has to acquire knowledge and make descisions about the business etc

I think she is like my grandma, naive and kinda clueless about money and in her mind she just wants to do the best for everyone around her.So she is really having to make choices that she has no experience about.

Can't stand Oprah, How can the FIRST thing you hear on this show is ' THIS IS IT'..They edit it and they know what comes out in the show, so for them to intentionally have oprah's first words being ' this is it' is a joke.

I don't quite understand the reasoning for katherine doing this, surely knowing how much michael disliked oprah or at least how oprah portrayed mj in the trial..But then again, she is much older now..In her 80's remember
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Randy and Jermaine's shared offspring were all up in Oprah's behind while Prince, Paris and Blanket didn't care for her at all. Great to see.

I felt really awkward for the Jackson children (apart from PPB) during the introductions. They were so out of place there. And Oprah making fun of Jermajesty's name made me want to switch off the sound. It's not the kid's fault he has such a name, it's his father's huge ego's fault. the boy didn't deserve it. Also later, when all the kids said they were or wanted to be singers Oprah was "okay :smilerolleyes:". And the way she asked that girl "whose child are you?" literally showed that she had zero interest in all those children (which is understable, there are few people who are interested in them). Very awkward.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I found the hand shakes interesting...It was as if prince knew all about oprah and the reasons we dislike her..He was very distant and I hope this was the reason for the coldness..But perhaps he was shy...I think Paris was just her usual polite self, like her father and perhaps knew more to oprah than she led on.Remember these are very intelligent kids.

But Blankets handshake was the best.I am sure the reasoning for it was because he was very shy..But part of me wishes and hopes he knew how 2 faced oprah had been to her father etc and that was the reason for him giving her the cold shoulder...

It was as if mj was watching, hating every minute of this and injecting his feelings about oprah into his children then and there..I hope they acted that way because of the dislike for oprah but sadly it might be more down to shyness

But I wish everyone gave oprah the same handshake as blanket..That is how they should have been, just told her straight up , why did you do shows on molestation when our dad was on trial...Obv they are too young to even ask or know of these events perhaps..But when they are older, I'd like at least someonne to stand up to oprah and not play HER game

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

I just watched the interview and I cant believe Oprah had the guts to ask the question "you thought he was guilty" one from Mrs Jackson. I felt so sorry for Mrs Jackson, i see so much Michael in her, and its amazing the connection they have. Oprah is just so fake, fake fake fake.
I was so proud of the kids though, they are so beautiful and loved what Paris said about their daddy. She is so smart. However I still believe that the kids shouldnt have been interviewed.
It was hard to watch......hard going back to the date....
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I can't stand Oprah and I can't believe that Katherine actually gave her an interview. I felt the whole interview was totally unnecessary. I thought Taj said Katherine wanted to clear the air and do good by MJ. I didn't get that feeling at all. I actually think silence would've been better. The more damaging things about MJ since his death have come from his own family. That is not good at all

Still? :lol: when did prince ever speak like Michael? I think prince's vocie is deeper than Michael's was, i think about Michael when he was 13 and he could pass for 10 but Prince is growing into a young man, he seemed a bit nervous which is expected since it's his first interview and he did well. Blanket is so cute, his hair is so long i think his pony tail is dowm to his butt lol Paris is a beautiful young lady, she seems like the outspoken one of the bunch like a mother figure, it's good to hear school is going well for them and they're making friends. It was also nice seeing their cousins there standing there like a shield, they were obviously there for moral support like 3T at the Grammy's and i'm sure the kids appreciated it since they they have all been a big part of helping them go through grieving for their father. After the interview they probably all went back to playing and having fun.

I can't believe you actually watched after complaining that you weren't interested. Alot of interviews celebrities give are unncessary but we have the choice not to watch/read and you failed to resist so blame yourself for a lack of control. The interview did more good for Michael than bad. People were reminded that Michael Jackson was a a family member, he wasn't just a super talented humanitarian but a father, a son, a brother an uncle and etc. first and foremost. I don't think any of us can relate to Katherine unless we have had to bury a child ourselves and this lady has had to do is not once but twice. You may feel your love for Michael is unwavering and trumps all but you could never love him more than any his family not matter how much you bash anyone who says something slightly negative about him or how many petitions you conduct.

We don't all always say the perfect things or what we say can be taken the wrong way after all we are all humans with out faults. We can not please everyone, and Katherine will not and can not please all of Michael's fans. What I got from her interview was a mother who is hurting, she had to see Michael go through so much crap and she wants to let the world know that even though her son was not perfect he was a good man.

I can't stand Oprah, like the majority of fans I find her very fake and two faced.

I'm really happy Prince seemed distant from Oprah, to me the look in his eyes towards her were one of disdain. I'm pretty sure Paris also disliked her, but she strikes me as someone who at her very young age is already media savvy, and she really got her point to Oprah what a brilliant dad Michael was. I think Blanket is aware of how two faced Oprah is, and how she didn't support Michael. Infact all Michael's nieces and nephews didn't seem to warm to Oprah, and her jokes to them in my view went down like like a led balloon.

I never thought Michael came across well in interviews, and I find this is the same for Katherine as neither of them appear comfortable in interviews, and I guess they remain polite because they don't want to offend the interviewer ? ........... and this is the impression I get from this Oprah interview. It's not a bad interview, nothing controversial, and it's not edited to make Kathrine etc look bad. I just don't think it does enough to communicate how misunderstood Michael was. Mostly I don't think Katherine should have agreed to be interviewed by Oprah, not just because she's two faced etc, but because she's not a good interviewer. I personally would have liked Katherine to have followed Jermaine's lead and be interviewed by Larry King on CNN, as I've really liked his interviews with Jermaine.

I'm not happy that Kathrine spoke about Michael's nose at one point being too thin like a stick. I think she should have kept that opinion to herself. I don't like the way Oprah manipulated Katherine in to saying she remembers Michael mostly as how he looked as a child, when she opened up the photo in Katherine's book "Never Can Say Goodbye", then started talking about Michael's surgery. That was very manipulative, and very Martin Bashir. I always believe one of the reasons Michael had his nose done, was to shed the skin of the child star he once was, because in the late 1970's everyone was still expecting Little Michael Jackson of the Jackson 5. Most or all parents best memories of their children of when they were children, because that's when they were most needed as parents, and in that respect Katherine will be no different to any other parent. But Oprah's done it to make Katherine look like she preferred the child Michael over the adult Michael, which isn't.

Katherine made a minor mistake, when she said as kids Michael and Randy wrote the Jackson 5 hit "Dancing Machine" when they moved in to the Encino mansion. I wish they did, but that was written by Hal Davis, Donald Fletcher and Weldon Dean Parks. Michael and Randy wrote "Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)" at Encino manision when Michael was 19-20yrs old and Randy was about 16yrs old. But once again that's a mistake a parent can easily make, and Katherine is in her early 80's and has a lot of children and grandchildren, and also great grandchildren to keep up with.

Oprah states that the Jackson's moved from Gary, Indiana to Encino, California in 1971. That is wrong, they moved from Gary to California, I think first to Los Angeles in 1969 (maybe 1968), and lived between the homes of Berry Gordy and Diana Ross for a year or so before they moved to Encino. I think they may have also lived in a house are apartment in Beverly Hills before they moved their home in Encino in 1971.

I wonder what Katherine thought about Oprah once hoping Katherine would be her mother-in law, through her dream of marrying Jackie. I thought her stating that was a little too forward, not so much her saying he had a crush on Jackie, just the mother-in law part.

I have a lot of respect for Katherine, she's in a very unique and pressured posistion, and she's in her 80's and should be living an easier live than he has. She has the responsibilties expectations of someone in their 30's-50's. I think she's doing a great job bringing up Prince, Paris and Blanket.

Agree. I didnt liked Oprah making fun of Jarmajestys name either. Though it was not mean-spirited, she tried to be funny but it wasnt funny imo. I also found it embarrasing for Yashi when Oprah asked who she was.

Although it was good that the kids actually said they appreciated the veils/masks, i honestly thought it was inappropriate of Oprah to ask the kids about it. I guess it depends on the way she asked them. If she had presented her questions about it in another way, then okay.. but she was like "u were so sheltered and literally lived a life behind masks". Thats an ignorant way to present a question imo because you dont know if the kids might think its a sensitive question for them or not. But the kids handled the questions about the veils/masks great.

Its heartbreaking to see Katherines pain. She looks so grief-stricken. How awful that it was Dr Murray that told Katherine that her son had passed. And seriously Oprah, how rude to ask Katherine if she thought MJ was guilty.

Reg the plastic surgery. I think its safe to know that those types of questions were very private to MJ, so it would have been better if she NOT said he lied about how many times he had done procedures or that that it one time looked like a toothpick. One headline of a newspaper in my country today is "MJs mother thought his nose looked like a toothpick". That IS the headline.

Joe Jackson LOL, i couldnt not help but smile becasue I couldnt hear anything he said. He mumbles too much and trying to get out of tricky situations.

Last but not least..

What about all the rumours circulating?
Apprantly, stories that Prince/Paris told Oprah that they wanted to buy Neverland back and they all remembered their bedrooms, what they looked like etc.

What about the story where Katherine supposedly said she has never recieved a penny from the estate. Wasnt the story that she told Opran about it?

And What about Geraldine Hughes who have been on her facebook saying we should all understand and support Katherine because she is the one USING Oprah to get a platform to talk about the estate/executors.

Maybe Oprah/Harpo edited and specifically left out things that Katherine supposedly said about the estate/executors.

i hate the part oprah asked if katherine ever thought of the possibility of his son being guilty. katherine already said he's innocent yet she asked again cuz it wasn't the answer she wanted.just back off oprah! and was the plastic surgery part really necessary? i don't think saying her son's nose looked like a toothpick would do him any good. i agree the most beautiful part of the interview was the kids,not that i want them to be involved in that interview.I still think it's way too soon. but it's nice to see the kids being so strong and determined to defend their father.paris seems to be the boss.lol

Yeah. Now TMZ is reporting that Katherine and the kids watched the Oprah show together. Even if they dont know how Oprah treated MJ, they probably know a lot of the crap that surrounced Michael. Dont know how good it is to listen Oprah ask about the allegations and MJs plastic surgery AND the whole drug issue. They are still kids and it must be hurtful to even hear someone talk about the allegations and their thoughts about the drugs and stuff. I really wonder if they have also watched LaToya and Janets interviews as well.

From TMZ:
Michael Jackson's mom says Joe Jackson isn't controlling MJ's kids ... or forcing them to be the next Jackson singing group -- and she thinks that came across in the Oprah interview

The Jackson family rep tells TMZ Katherine Jackson believes Prince, Paris, and Blanket "expressed their own desires to be in the entertainment business" during the sitdown with O.

Katherine also says she hopes fans "don't think anyone like Joe or the family is pushing the kids" ... a not-so thinly veiled reference to Joe infamously pushing Michael and his brothers to do that whole Jackson 5 thing.

Katherine and the kids watched Monday's Oprah together -- and we're told Mama Jax was particularly happy she got to talk about, "Never Can Say Goodbye" ... her tribute book to Michael.

Michael is not the King of Pop to her... it's her son.

Who wants their child to feel so bad about themselves that they continue to change their image? You guys think mainstream doesn't REALIZE that he's had a lot of cosmetic surgery and a lot of issues with painkillers? It's not OLD news and those two things are not BOMBSHELLS!

You wanted her to paint some holier than thou image of Michael?

Let's keep it REAL here. NO ONE ON THIS BOARD KNOWS MICHAEL JACKSON BETTER THAN HIS MOTHER and she has the right to say whatever she pleases about the child that she BORE and RAISED. She is an older woman who is not going to put up a fight in an interview, and some of you have no sympathy or respect.

This is HER reality now. She is living off of these memories. Her SON is dead and gone... and she had a candid and very open chat on television about her honest thoughts and memories of her son.

I wish people would slow down with the attacks on Michael's MOTHER. I think that Michael would be disgusted.

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

You could see how cold Oprah was. Well...it"s not I excpected anything else from her, since it is so obvious for me that she doesn"t like Michael one bit, and she never did.
It is so sleezy from her to be sitting there with her phony smile and everything. Disgusting.
Michael"s children were so great and classy. They are really wonderfull young people and Michael raised them so well.
Oprah insisted on her stupid questions again which had nothing to do with what Michael really was and is...an amazing person who cared about important things.
I just could not possibly dislike her more.
Not going to discuss Katherine but I am very, very surprised she called Oprah to talk to the kids.
Oprah"s interviews are so shallow and stupid.

You're right. No FAN lost what Katherine Jackson did on June 25, and no doubt MJ would be deeply hurt by the attacks on her. He made some misjudgements too. Not a person on this planet hasn't.

I just hope there are NO more interviews. MJ did not do a lot of them, and Katherine doesn't need to anymore. More than anything, I want her to take care of herself. She's 80 years old. I want her well, and want MJ's kids NEVER to have to wonder again where they will live.

Sorry but his family is acting very indecently towards him. Even when someone kills themselves, I rarely see the family members go on and on about the deceased shortcomings. I get the clear picture that they didn't know much about him for years. All of this I heard, I heard does not present a very intimate picture. Katherine's story has changed regarding the drugs and the surgery. Sorry but just because someone is a grieiving mother does not mean they are right about everything. I think what Michael would be hurt by is how his family has treated his name. But I don't know if he would be surprised by it.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I have gone from respecting Katherine to having no respect and I am disgusted with her and any of the other Jacksons who take part in what is a complete betrayal of him. He trusted her with his children and she has sold out, I don't doubt for one moment that she will talk to anyone and involve the children if there is money in it for her. What's next Katherine, a nice cosy chat with Dimond, or how about Nancy Grace, and take the children with you why don't you.

I am disgusted to a level I just can't put into words.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

I did not like the idea of the children being interviewed, but imho it went well. :better:

So why didn't she speak about the whole families decision to do plastic surgery? Only Michael felt he was ugly? Sorry, but I do not believe she was speaking honestly from her heart. If so, then what about all of her other interviews? What about what she said in the Dateline interview which contradicted this one? I do not believe Katherine is perfect just like you do not believe Michael is perfect and I choose to believe the autopsy and Michael.
