Re: Michael Jackson's Father Breaks Silence in Tell-All Documentary "Confessions of a Father" Exclus
Not directly, I had other people in mind but since you mentioned him I guess you can say that. Yes, I did state that as a result of how Joe's acted in the past and how he already gets a bad rap from the media, family and fans alike, I'm actually shocked that he didn't do something like a documentary sooner or said anything really that damaging against Michael. For example, many would expect that Joe (considering his reputation) would be the one touring media outlets and claiming that Michael was an addict, but no, I was surprised to see that it was people such as Rebbie, Tito, and (Janet? not sure) and maybe even Frank referring to MJ as a situational addict pre verdict during the Conrad Murray Trial.
Either way I'm not excusing anyone here, I was simply stating that based on established assumptions and public opinion, I was expecting Joe to act a certain way and so far many others have taken that role which makes Joe look a bit more quiet then expected
(by comparison). Last time I flipped channels I didn't see Joe but I did see others with "explosive" insider info ready to feed the media engine. But that's okay, right?
O/T: Oh and since you mentioned Frank, I'll say this about privacy issues concerning Michael. I originally didn't have a problem with the disclosure of seemingly innocent private info, however I thought about it. If his (Frank) stories stand in complete contradiction with whats been said from other friends and family on a particular matter, either one of those close friends and family are lying or Michael's lying to them and if Michael had to lie to his close friends and fam in order to protect some information, can you imagine how much he valued his privacy?
After that I no longer agree with some things that have been spoken about in Frank's book, doesn't mean I have anything against the man, I just sense a level of disrespect from someone I previously held in high esteem before the book was written.
you are referring to Frank Cascio I guess.
So let's see if I got this correct.
Frank writes one book
Joe writes a book, does a documentary, promotes a record label, ice cream, champagne, clothing line, does perfumes, belts, is behind a for profit family museum /casinp, happyland, neverland hotels and who knows what I forgot
but he's considered as "less attention hungry" because "he's Joe"?
