Update: Behind the Scenes on Jan 28th 8PM ET OWN Channel / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

[Michael Jackson Moonwalk]

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

Wow...I have now seen all 3 parts...it's so touching to hear the kids speak. Paris is wonderfully frank and and speaks beautifully. It was nice to see them with all the other children too....although I wonder, how on Earth does Katherine manage to look after all those kids?? Beautiful to see them all happy and together.

I didn't approve of the way Oprah phrased/asked things, OR her reactions. She shows ZERO emotion when Katherine cries. Unbelievable.

All in all though, I'm glad the the people who really care how Michael's family are doing, get to see it for themselves.

God bless Mrs Jackson and her wonderful grandchildren.

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.

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

I'm following the discussion, which I find it interesting, though sad and hard at times.
Even with some who don't agree with, I must be thankful since they help me to see things from a different perspective.

My own is that Katherine should not have allowed to expose children, let alone with Oprah. And that she should've been more reserved when giving her opinions and feelings on certain topics (his alleged addiction to plastic surgery and drugs).

I think she was too honest and naive with Oprah, too natural, she said openly her thoughts without realising they might contribute to the tabloid mocking of her son, with the "toothstick" nose comment.
To make her justice, she was pretty good with the trial questions, in spite of Oprah's attempts.

But with the medication issue, it was Oprah who was conducting everything to her own ways: hospital/propofol/prescription medication /painkillers / addiction/Janet- intervention, on denial... And Katherine was not so wrong when she said that she was not aware, that Michael started taking pain killers after the pepsi accident, that she heard (much later??) that he had a problem and spoke once with him about it...
Katherine does not say it explicitly, but following Oprah's trap, it is implied that there's a connection between the past addiction (don't say when) and the propofol. And as far as we can tell, from the AR, there isn't any.

That is not true. Long term perscription med abuse shows up in the body's organs and drugs have half lives for the time it takes for things to go out of the system.
If what you said was true, Murray would not have even been charged because there would be no proof of these drugs in his system.

Besides, there are the toxicology results from the head hair samples which can show the use of any medication in his system for the last previous months.

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

Just wanted to add..What is also so bothersome is how heavily edited that interview was.

But Prince was so dead-on. He is a deep soul that hasn't got much to say, just like Michael, but the words he does say have impact, just like at the Grammys. When Oprah was yelling of how it was possible Michael had them wear masks and if they remember it, he gave instant, certain answers and one shouldn't mess with that child. Paris, although more composed, she kept it real as well, gave instant answers, accentuating her every word and was always superlatively talking about her father. And sweet, shy Blanket... don't mess with that sweet child either. He seems to be such a little child without his father to hold his hand, and he just has his little action-figure he always clutches to maybe also compensate for that. They were all so polite and remembered the simplest of times they spent with their father, because he also taught them on the value of humility and simplicity. But what is so sad is that they were called in by Oprah to come join their grandparents, and they reluctantly come, politely introduce themselves, but obviously don't feel her 'sense of humor' = jealosy. Little Blanket didn't like being there, Paris sat there just for being polite, as well as Prince, and towards the end, he got up, getting bored with her and that discussion. They weren't gonna answer about themselves, they were Asked and they answered briefly.

Nobody should mess with these wonderful, but strong children. They should be just left alone, as they obviously want to play and be children like they should be and their father wanted them to be. Their escapism is in playing, just as it was in Michael's case, and in such cruel, corrupting world, innocence is getting more and more ruined and stifled.

edit: reading of the children potentially and most likely watching the show... well... getting numb..

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

I watched the interview. Katherine said some questionable things during this interview for sure. I don't think the interview should have ever happened, especially with the children. HOWEVER, some people's comments IN THIS THREAD made me think things that weren't true, and made me think Katherine said things she didn't.

Katherine DID say Michael had vitiligo and it made his skin spotted like a cow. She said it was still spotted underneath his clothes, but in exposed areas he had his skin evened out. She DID repeat over and over that she didn't know how he did that (which did make me cringe a little). I don't see anything wrong with what she said about his skin. She confirmed to the world that he had vitiligo and brought new information to the public/casual fans about him still having patchy skin under his clothes, further confirming his vitiligo.

Secondly and importantly..

Katherine DID say Michael died from an overdose of Propofol given by Murray. It was blindingly obvious she blamed Murray for Michael's death when Oprah asked 'what would you say to Murray' and she answered, in her answer she also mentioned that Murray left the room when he shouldn't have.

From some peoples posts here it's like Katherine said Michael killed himself with an overdose of pills. She did not say that. How some people have reacted makes it seem like she did.

Like i stated before i didnt see the interview so theres not whole lot i can say about it im speaking about what ive read here and what little i have seen and read about the interview. .

You should watch for yourself, it's on youtube

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

Back in 1993 when Oprah interviewed Michael and asked him about his brothers, he gave a very diplomatic answer. He did not get into how brothers may have been jealous of his success. Whatever issues he had with them, he could have aired them then and there. But that would not have been fair to them. And really, it was FAMILY business and NOBODY ELSE'S!

I honestly feel that both LMP and Mrs Jackson spoke about stuff that should have remained PRIVATE. Not everything needs to be in the public domain, for people to 'wash their mouths' on Michael. Keep a journal and write all those thoughts in them!

I am heartily sick of people not showing Michael the basic consideration that he showed them.

[Thetruthbetold]

Before I got to school I will like to address my serious thoughts on this interview. First of all I had an argument with my sister because I felt that is was very unnecessary for Oprah to ask about his trail and alleged drug addiction reasons why I say alleged drug addiction because I know my research on the music industry and how it can damage an artist character MJ parents knows the truth and they can’t speak out against these people because of fear I am not making any excuses for them either personally Oprah attack MJ parents with harsh questions I was so fed the **** up my sister believe that Oprah had the right to ask his mother all these questions and try to tell me I am in denial when our father gave me the history of Hollywood and the music industry and the dark side of it MJ was driven into the life he never wanted to be apart they scorn his him badly sense he was a child he told many people about the truth about the industry many of his so called friends thought he was crazy because they was a part of that shit too look how many stars we lost to drug related issues and nobody is questioning this? This is all in our faces and many people just walk away and judge these celebrities as addicts.

MJ never had a chance to tell his story because on June 25 they made sure along with the two other celebs that die on that day never get a chance to tell the truth I am painfully rip apart Oraph only did what she was told to do and that’s was have the highest ratings and make sure she address those issues his mother was in pain even speaking on the questions she had the nerves to ask her he hasn’t been dead for years it’s been a year few months she has to still grieve and this heartiness African American woman who I once look up to until I was told the real about American’s most famous talk show host Oprah was wrong on so many levels I am not going to go there with all that this is her job she needs to know her place and stay in her lane. As for the kids the world once again seen that these kids came from pure love they kept it real about their dad and didn’t view him like the media, haters etc view him as some addict father entertainer who once had it all MJ live his life to the fullest may he rest in peace hope he can finally have peace.

P.S God will redeem those who pass wrongful judgment on others now we all can take a moment and think about MJ true Justice while the killers win and walk yes i said it goodnight i am so done..

I agree with your post. The industry is very seedy. I've seen it up close. However, unlike some entertainers who have died due to drug addiction that was not what happened to MJ. That is the story the media is trying to portray and it is not accurate. When family starts going on an on about drug addiction they are adding to that narrative and I have issue issue with it.

 

[Michael Jackson Moonwalk]

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

A 'nose joke' ?! OMG - are you for real? There was no nose joke. Oprah was asking about the surgeries and whether Katherine felt he went to far, Katherine simply answered the question that yes she did think he went to far and his nose became too thin. So now a mother's not allowed to have her opinion? OK, toothpick might not be a great adjective, but its her choice of words goddammit. It was NOT A JOKE, she was NOT BASHING him. If anything, it was more heartbreaking and painstaking for her to watch her child go through that mess of thinking he's ugly and constantly trying to 'fix it'. Her story about speaking to the cosmetic surgeon says it all...she was a mother who wanted the best for her child and tried to help him.

I just dont believe how people think that Katherine would ever 'betray' her son. And all of a sudden she's responsible for the news stories and media? Katherine has hardly uttered a word throught Michael's life, and the media have had MORE THAN ENOUGH AMMO, so I don't see how one honest posthumous interview by a grieving mother could 'make matters worse'. Like they wouldn't print trash anyway? And why waste time trying to get the media 'to see who he really was' - hello!! They don't want to see the truth, they're in the business of lies.

Please can we stop hating on the family, especially Katherine Jackson. She has not ever betrayed or hurt Michael. She has lost her son, and she loves him more than all the fans put together.

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

Alma, scream jackson, truthtobe told and Yazzgurl...thanks alot great posts.

it is clear the kids were not emotionally ready to talk about their father, they were not happy to be interviewd and open up especially the boys, Paris was very emotional at the end when she said everything she was about to cry but the filming stopped at this point and Oprah did not want to push her , she noticed that the girl get so emotional.

Katheirne tried her best and said all she can to defend him but , with all these people whespiring in her ears about denial and surgeirs , she had no choice but to talk like them , especially if this will make people like Oprah more interested in the interview and probably gave more money or access or whatever they want regarding their projects, and Oprah on the other hand will get what she want regading her issues ( she is really jealous of his fame and happy to call him addict , i think she enjoys repeating this word very much) and ofcourse her ratings !

 

[ExoticPrincess]

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

Frankly, the best part about that interview were the kids......the rest of it, I'm not even gonna go into it because Oprah came into that house with three topics in mind, molestation, plastic surgery and drug addiction, she was'nt interested in anything else! Taj's comment about this interview just failed.

Since June 25th though, one thing keeps going through my mind, how is it that no one had anything to say about Michael prior to his passing? if they are so willing to go on television and speak their minds now, why did'nt they do so in the past? I'll tell you why, none of them dared to go up against him while he was alive, now that he is not, its like 'what the hell'.......no repercuccions to worry about.

I don't care what the situation was, Michael NEVER went on television/media and put his families personal business on blast like that and he does'nt deserve what they have been doing to him since June 25th! Katherine could've stated what a great person MJ was and all the good things he did but bottomline, that won't be making the headlines, all the salacious and negative stuff will and so family members need to think before they make their comments.

I sincerely hope that this was the last family interview.

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

I don't think any of this has been proven regarding Lupus being the reason his nose changed so much. The autopsy never mentioned Lupus, am I right? It might be true but who knows this for sure...

The skin color is a different issue. I was talking about Katherine's opinion about his nose surgeries. For whatever reason, it's just her opinion. Just like us, she herself may not know the exact reasons he did what he did.

All I'm saying is I think people are being too tough on Katherine and it makes me feel uncomfortable, remembering how much Michael looked up to her and loved her.

Loving your rational posts. You know you are up against a brick wall, right.? Wish i could snatch Jack Nicolson's character from A FEW GOOD MEN and unleash him in the middle of this thread.

Well I have my opinions on the Jacksons and I've already explained it so no need to repeat myself. I feel they have done a lot of damage. But as far as Oprah is concerned, I've always seen her jealousy towards Michael. Its like she is fighting tooth and nail for him not to be on top. Its like it is something she is very against and refuses to be objective about. Perhaps its all the stuff Quincy may have told her over the years. But she's got it bad.

keep everything aside in the interview ,this was suppose to be positive right then show me one headline in paper which is positive after this interview ,those who are supporting this ,please show me one positive headline .*i am waiting*

I already did this a few pages ago. This is an article from the website of the biggest newspaper in the Netherlands called "De Telegraaf" (translated by me of course):

Paris Jackson: "Daddy was a great cook"

AMSTERDAM - Oprah Winfrey did not just have a candid conversation with Michael Jackson's parents, his children also spoke with her.

In the show, that will be broadcast in America today, Paris (12) speaks with a lot of love about her deceased father. "I don't think anyone understands what a great father he was. I think he was the best cook ever. He made the most delicious French toast. He was a very normal father, except he was the best father in the world."

The children used to go out only while wearing veils or masks. According to Michael's mother Katherine this was the idea of their biological mother Debbie Rowe. "We didn't mind", Paris explained. "He did it so that we could just walk the streets if he wasn't there. He didn't want us to know who exactly he was. But he didn't quite succeed..."

Original article: http://www.telegraaf.nl/prive/8159684/__Paris_Jackson___Pa_was_goede_kok___.html?sn=prive

Honestly, the interview wasn't nearly as bad as some of you make it out to be. Tabloids are always going for the most shocking and controversial headlines, no matter what Katherine would have said.

[callmerose]

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

What beautiful kids. Paris seems a lot like Debbie in being confident, strong and not taking crap from anyone. Which is interesting since they didn't have much contact. The Jackson kids really stand out amongst the usual Holloywood type brats.
One thing is for sure. All the people watching this interview who have called Michael a freak and worse over the years have to look at his kids and know that they were wrong.

 

[Naturelle]

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

This was a waste. I am so disgusted with Katherine right now. Ugh, so many personal things she mentioned there was no need for and that upsets me so much.
I bet she got a phat paycheck... she had to, if not, it gives her the strength to keep on running her mouth with other TV programs. Can't she just wait until the trail? I guess not. What a betrayal to Michael.

PPB are probably even more hurt now that this is aired. Shame on you Katherine and Joe! I think they could be jealous of Michael too, his fasme. But this interview/fame family will soon come to a complete HALT as I am only counting on the children now and I pray constantly for them.

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

That is not true. Long term perscription med abuse shows up in the body's organs and drugs have half lives for the time it takes for things to go out of the system.
If what you said was true, Murray would not have even been charged because there would be no proof of these drugs in his system.

I sometimes think there should be a mandatory reading of the autopsy thread before fans can come on here spreading things that show they are clearly misinformed.

If the family is going to tallk about MJ being addicted to perscription drugs, we will fight them tooth and nail.

Now, if they want to talk about P, then that's a different story and instead of showing he was addicted to drugs, it will show he was suffering from lack of sleep. But they never seem to want to go down that route.

Yes Please Do, and also add a course on "The implications of Speech on Political, Social, and Media Systems." I will teach it. Also, "Basic Critical Analysis for Forum Discussions" should also be mandatory for certain threads.

I totally agree.. MJ would never ever do this to his family . It's an absolute shame. I am also troubled with them because they now claim MJ was such in bad shape with his 'addictions' yet they did nothing to help him. Why didn't they speak out publicly then instead of waiting until he's dead? If they felt MJ had a problem they should've sought professional help and a professional intervention. Cissy Houston saved Whitney by threatening to call the cops and threatening to take her daughter away. Why would MJ's family leave his kids in the house with someone they thought was a raging addict?

And they all saw MJ in May 2009 at their parents anniversary party, why didn't they intervene then when they were all together? I am just very very disappointed in the Jackson family and I think they should know the fans' feelings. They have totally lost all of my support.

Probably the did not do anything then because their assertions are not true. They have not said I saw him ----. Katherine apparently is saying what she thought. I feel there is an agenda which dictates that Michael has to be seen as a drug addict. I am worried that the kids might begin to believe Katherine's comments.

 

[StacyJ]

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

and I also find it very odd that they never give timeframes. No one knows what time period they are talking about.. is it 1993 or 2003? No one is saying. I don't think they are saying the dates because I don't think they ever happened.

 

[kristinaz]

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

That too bothers me cause if they're talking about prior to 93 then I'm more inclined to believe them since Michael himself went into treatment but after that well I dunno how bad it could have been. And yet still I don't think if anything happened in terms of abuse with drugs it's prob not as bad as it is being out to be made. I'm inclined to believe that only cause of the autopsy results nothing else.

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

I agree but what happens if in the future the kids say something fans don't agree with, are they no longer his legacy will they get bashed or will they be labeled as brainwashed? Like let's say if in the future Paris is asked about her father's appearance and she doesn't say what fans expect? it just seems like some fans are so wishy washy when it comes to holding Michael on a pedastal, as a fan i would love to only hear great things about him but i inderstand i will hear some things i don't like at times but that doesn't make every person who says something slightly negative a bad /jealous or etc person.

you said that the interview was about MJ, and not the other kids as far as plastic surgery goes.
so, as far as hypothesis about what Paris might say in the future..that's hypothesis. Paris was already asked what she remembered about her father, and she answered. she could have said something else. i don't like to deal in hypothesis.

and yes, ususally if someone, unprovoked, says something negative about someone it is due to jealousy. the only other reason would be if the person said something negative, first, and the second person responds in kind.

also, on a note about insecurities that lead to plastic sugery..usually it's not insecurity..it's responding to people saying negative things about a person's appearance.

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

Katherine DID say Michael had vitiligo

...speaking of vitiligo, not sure if this was mentioned in all 147 pages but did anyone else notice Prince's arm? Specifically his underarm area down to the elbow when he lifted his arms over his head. Am I the only one who noticed a case of vitiligo, or just really spotty skin?

Edited to add: Oh wait, just did a thread search...it was mentioned about three times in this thread! The MJ fans were already on it! Lol.

But man oh man, if that's not MJ's boy I don't know who is!
