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

So Katherine claims the family knew MJ had a problem yet she only talked to him 'once' about it??
Yeah, they all knew about his "supposed" problem, but that didn't stop them from BEGGING him to go on stage with the brothers again, including Janet as the opening act (her words).

Joe, the brothers, Janet, Katherine, Rowe, and All Good Entertainment, collectively were BEGGING Michael to perform again. Yet we are supposed to believe that he had some big drug addiction.

I was holding out hope, but Katherine Jackson has disappointed me very badly today. She had an opportunity to set a bunch of things straight, but so far, she is failing, in my opinion.

Oprah must be delighted!

And the tabloids should send Mrs. Jackson massive amounts of flowers for the headlines she's giving them.

So far I have not heard anything about her talking about Michael being in denial. But it would not shock me

What a horrible day. Beginning with the nightmare from midnight and continuing on.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Did she really say that? You got to him Mrs Jackson you saw him a week before he died. Remember? Of course not. Oh and here is that clip I was talking about
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8rQxm2YizM&feature=player_embedded

Explanation of Michael's Plastic Surgery. Dr. Strict explains Michaels medical history involving his Lupas and plastic surgery procedures.

:eek:


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

Now, I know why Michael Jackson is dead.
(God rest his Soul.):angel:,
and the rest of the Jacksons are still alive.
He lived with a family of cut throats.
Well, at least, they didn't get his money,:cheeky: which, by the way, is
the reason they don't mind trashing his legacy for the money.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

What a horrible day. Beginning with the nightmare from midnight and continuing on.

Yep I agree! Michael's life was a hot mess. Imagine how he felt if we feel this way. I cannot even believe he was able to withstand all this drama as long as he did.

A true hero for sure!
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Did they discuss about the estate, the album, etc... ?
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

What I meant was I have not heard anyone who saw the interview say Katherine said Michael was in denial about drugs, The plastic surgery line was low and I expect better from his Mother. This is a lady who defends her other children when they are clearly in the wrong
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

The plastic surgery line was low and I expect better from his Mother.

I'm so shocked by that type of talk coming from Katherine Jackson. I thought she was there to set the record straight, not make matters worse.

What really get's to me is that, to my knowledge, she has NEVER, publically made those types of comments before.

Michael's gone now, so I guess "the coast if clear."
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

A friend of mine saw the interview and this is what she had to say:
I just finished watching the interview with Oprah. My heart ached for Mrs. Jackson and the children, and at the same time, my emotions are all over the place.

The interview aired this morning on Oprah. I am sure in a short time it will be up on You Tube just as the LMP interview was. I really need to take a little time with this to process it all. I will say that although I strongly disagree with the children being interviewed by Oprah of all people, I do feel that they came across well and you could easily see how beautifully Michael raised them to be confident, well-mannered children. THEY are his legacy. Look at them and you can very easily see what kind of a man Michael was ?

I too worry that Mrs. K is getting bad advice. I agree. I also think about her age as well and yes, being in her 80's and having to deal with all of this I agree is way too much. It's not good all that is going on :(

I so agree Jenny. Everybody I've ever spoken to who knew Michael has had nothing but praise for Michael as a person and especially as a father. If he were in the condition claimed, he would not have been able to function that way as a Fat...her and he would not have been the kind of Father that we know he was. Someone in that condition would not be able to care for his kids the way he did and to raise them properly, which we know he did. It's clear and evident.

There is a lot of deception out there and there are concerns that many are being directed to say certain things about his condition (however inaccurate) to make the world believe that he had a serious drug/addiction problem and therefore caused his own death. Even in today's interview....Oprah directed so many questions at Mrs. K to push the interview in a certain direction...asking her about the drugs, about the molestation charges, about the baby dangling incident and Michael as a father, about the veiling of the children, about his surgeries...again not ONE mention of his humanitarianism. Very upsetting. I think that Mrs. K is definitely being given bad advice and counsel.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

He was much more than a hero. :heart:

Poor Michael.... :cry:
I am so grateful that Michael Jackson through his music and dance shared with us the beauty that is in his Soul.
God Bless

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

Michael Jackson Kids Talk about their Dad

As an album of Michael Jackson's previously-unheard music nears its release, his family is ready for a release of its own.

In a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey airing on "Oprah" today, Jackson's children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, opened up about their pop icon father for the first time since his death.

Surrounded by their cousins at the Jackson family's California compound, Havenhurst, Prince, 13, and Paris, 12, talked about growing up with Michael.

"I kind of felt like no one understood what a good father he was. He was the best cook ever," Paris told Winfrey. "He was just a normal dad."

"He made the best French toast in the world," she added. "He just made the best breakfasts in the world."

Prince and Paris described Michael as "strict" but said he often treated them to sweets like Snickers candy bars and Coca-Cola.

"He tried to raise us without us knowing who he was, but that didn't really go so well," Paris said, smiling.

The two shared their favorite memories of Michael.

"We were in Bahrain, and we used to wake up early and walk on the beach," Prince said.

"One time we were on the roof of the Luxor in Las Vegas, just saw all the city lights," Paris said. "We were eating Snickers, we had some soda."

"Sometimes he would take me to a museum, because we both loved art," Paris added. "We'd play tag outside. He got us Kenya [their dog] four years ago."

Blanket, 8, barely spoke during the interview, answering "yes" when Winfrey asked if he was still home-schooled. Blanket added that while Prince "could get away with anything," when it came to being disciplined by Michael, he could not.

They also talked about their hobbies and ambitions.

"I'd like to be an actress when I'm older," Paris told Winfrey. "I sometimes do improv. I used to do it with my dad."

Prince said his favorite pastimes were "video games and sports." He said he wants to "produce movies and direct" when he grows up.

Winfrey wrapped up her interview with a poignant question -- "What do you miss the most?"

"Everything," Paris replied.

Jackson's mother and father, Katherine and Joe Jackson, also talked to Winfrey about their son's life, death, and how they're raising his three children.

"You know what broke my heart more than anything else in this world? When people at the hospital told us, 'You can leave now,' and Paris and Prince said, 'Where are we going?'" Katherine said.

She said that while the children are adjusting to their new life "very well," they often reminisce about their father.

What they talk about is, 'Daddy would do this and daddy would do that.' Or, 'That's how Daddy did it,'" Katherine said. "Paris is very emotional. She talks about him all the time. She's the strong one. All the pictures on her wall in her bedroom are of Michael."

Katherine called the day Jackson died, June 25, 2009, "the worst day of my life." She's dedicated a new book in his memory, "Never Can Say Goodbye."

"They didn't tell me he was dead. They wanted me to come to the hospital," she said. "They made the doctor tell me," she added, referring to Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal physician.

"I said, 'How is he? How is he, did he make it?' And he said 'No, he's gone,'" Katherine told Winfrey before breaking into tears.

Murray has plead not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter for allegedly administering a fatal dose of the drug Propofol to Jackson and is due back in court in January. In addition, Joe Jackson has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Murray.

Katherine refused to say whether or not she thinks Murray murdered her son.

"I can't accuse him of murder," she told Winfrey. "I don't know if it was accidentally done or if it was intentionally done."

She admitted that she tried to keep him away from drugs like Propofol, just as she tried to get him to stop undergoing plastic surgery.

"I thought it was too small," she said of Jackson's post-surgery nose, adding that it looked "like a toothpick at one time." "I had told him, 'That's enough, why do you keep going?'"

Meanwhile, Joe Jackson used his time with Winfrey to emphasize that while he "never beat" Michael or any of this other children, he did hit them with a strap.

"He used a strap. Yes he did, he used a strap," Katherine said, sitting next to Joe.

Joe defended his actions.

"It kept them out of jail. It raised them right," he said. "My kids have never been in jail. Nine kids, never been in jail."

This is just painful to read!

So much for setting Oprah straight.

Katherine Jackson felll right into Winfrey's trap.

No discussion regarding how generous Michael was? Mrs. Jackson had the opportunity to steer the discussion anyway she wanted to. Unbelievable!

Oh and in my opinion, she can forget about selling that book. After that interview (and what Mann pulled the other day), I'm not sure many people will be interested in her coffee table book.
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Well, if Mrs. Jackson is somewhat senile, why will not her daughters:
Rebbie, Janet, and LaToya help her out a "tiny bit". :mello:

What the heck does that mean?
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

my heart breaks over the kids talking about him.

May God protect the three angels of Michael. :heart: :angel:
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

TY, MsCassieMollie.
Afer just reading what Paris and Prince said my heart is aching, literally. God, it's just so unfair! I'd never cope with it, while they seem so brave. Little Angels.
I don't wanna go into discussion abt Oprah in general and how he ran this discussion. I share most of your opinions.
I just wish the Children would find the way to somehow grow beyond all those family issues :(
 
Re: Update: Air date Nov. 8 th / Katherine Jackson May Be 'Oprah' Bound

Michael's kids make me cry. The rest of the Jacksons make me sick.

I'm just shocked at what's happening today. Michael is a Hero, no doubt. God bless him.

"You know what broke my heart more than anything else in this world? When people at the hospital told us, 'You can leave now,' and Paris and Prince said, 'Where are we going?'" Katherine said.

That just broke my heart. :( I thought they were in the hospital room with him?
