SAD: Michael Jackson’s kids lived in total isolation with no playmates
Michael Jackson’s father suggested that he may have neglected the three children he raised as his own.
During a pointless and disorganized press conference today, Joe Jackson told reporters that Michael’s three children were “happy” now that they had other children to play with.
Joe told the assembled reporters that the three children — Prince Michael, 13, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11 and Prince Michael II, aka “Blanket,” 7 — were excited to finally have other children their age to play with back at the Jackson estate in Encino, California.
Joe suggested that Michael isolated the children away from other kids their age. Which is sad when you consider that Michael spent his adult life trying to reclaim his own supposed lost childhood.

why in sam hill is al sharpton up there?!?!?!?!
I read else where that he home schooled the kids, but the always interacted with the child of Mike’s celeb friends and their family…
OFF TOPIC - Did you guys hear that Billy Mays (the OxyClean dude) died of a heart attack at age 50 yesterday!!!!! DAMN!!!
Ugghhhhhhh! Is there any positive news about MJ that you can post Sandra damn?
@ #2
I heard he got hit in the head with some luggage during a rough landing said he felt fine, went home and died in his sleep.
Well I saw pics of them and other kids, on different days on TMZ.
@ 4 he was hit in the head, but the autopsy showed no evidence of head trauma - only heart disease.
Can we issue a gag order on Joe Jackson, smh…Janet tell daddy to sit the **** down
Joe sit down!!!

Yes, I heard about it on GMA, how sad. Something occured with the plane he was on during it’s landing, and it caused a few items to fall from above onto his head. He then stated to a reporter when he got off the plane, that he was fine and his head was as hard as steel.
Auntie, seriously, a UPBEAT post about MJ, if you please???
How about the fact that he gave over 300 Million to charity over the years?
Or the fact you never heard him murmer the ‘N-word’ or called some woman a hoe when he made music?
Or the fact that people of all races,ages and colors are mourning his lost???
**SIDEBAR** Shartpon and Jesse Jackson are to cameras what bees are to honey. Where there’s a camera, there’s a way for them.

well shyt, he get it from JOE!
LMAO @ that picture. I saw Al on MTV and he said that he was only 4 years older than MJ so I googled his birthdate and sure enough he is only 54. He should never tell anyone that again.
Dear Joseph….
why the hail is your mustache tatted on? and your eyebrows too? i know of no man your age (80’s) who have done such tomfoolery…it is really kinda just dayum creepy when you sit and think about it….others in the family may have tattted makeup for showbiz reasons…but you not famous. so why dawg? why?
your sister in Christ,

WOW i thought he ws 64 at least WOW
Sandra so neg-
“Joe suggested that Michael isolated the children away from other kids their age.”
But he didn’t that!!
I wonder do you have anything positive to say about anyon other then TI,Tiny, or Monica…
& joe did the same to his own children so, i would take what he says with a grain of salt. not only that he had micheal performing since the age of 5. i think performing 45 yrs out of your life…anybody would be sick, and at 100pds. let his soul R.I.P.
I HAVE SEEN PHOTOS AND VIDEO TO DISPELL THAT SO ONCE AGAIN YOU AND JOE ARE FISHING.

I didn’t see the conference to conclude what Joe “Beat Ur Azz” Jackson had to say, but those kids did play with other kids their age. There are pictures to support it and other celebs have said their kids played together. What’s sad is that Joe trying to promote his company at a time like this.
I will give Al a pass, but Jesse need to sit down.
WHERE IS SIEDAH GARRETT AND CHERYL “PEPSI” RILEY? I HAVE SEEN NOR HEARD ANYTHING FROM THOSE TWO CONCERNING MICHAEL.

I add a wow to your wow. Mike was the baby boy and 50 yrs. old. How old was he when he had Tito. -25? LOL.
YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!! Something just came to my attention….why was Janet on stage tom bout everybody in the family wanted to be there, but the sent her to speak on their behalf with JOE’s smiling azz in the audience sitting next to Al Sharpton?????…..looks to me like JOE had been exiled, and probably with GOOD REASON!
That is in contradiction to the pictures that were released to TMZ yesterday showing the kids in the presence of other children.
By the way, Joe just got done speaking to CNN again trying to clear the air after his statements yesterday. Now YT is trying to make and issue of the fact that the kids will be in the same house with Joe. F those bastards man.

“Well I’m glad!”
@krysi,
Because Joe was there to represent “The Jackson Family”
Janet spoke to the Fans(remember we “fan” knew how Joe got in their azz… I would’ve rather it came from Janet thenJoe anyday…

but she didn’t even speak of her father’s pressence and she stated that “everybody wanted to be here”???
Joe, sit your azz down ASAP!!! Please.
I love how people say they didn’t SEE BRANDY THERE I THINK
AND THAT’S NICE I DIDN’T SEE USHER THERE, CHRIS BROWN THERE, RIHANNA THERE, DIANA ROSS THERE, BRITNEY SPEARS THERE, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SO WHAT’S UR POINT?
THE LOGIÇ SORRY BRANDY IS ALLERGIC TO HOODRATS AND NON TALENTED FLOPS AND STAYED AWAY
BRANDY>>>>> FLOPICA AND THAT’S THE GETCHA GOTCHA
RECORD SALES>LOOKS> AWARDS> CASH
MJ probably tried to protect his children from his family. We know how that can be. Besides, if I were on his level I would have sheltered my kids as well. 3 of them could be each others playmates.
Kay wallace… you say one mo thang bout them tatted on brows… ONE MO!!!!! LMAO but real talk.. I think Joe is where the entire Jackson family got their image issues from… how does a WHOLE FAMILY get rhinoplasty??? And there’s like a hunnit of them jokers!!
And who cares what Joe says?? WTF is Joe right now? True story… I think the rest of them jackson done said to hell with him.. hence Janets comment.. my heart aches for her I swear..
@ Charles, did Neyo fire you as his attorney?? Or, did he forget to pay his legal bills??
This isn’t true I saw a ton of pics of his kids with other children on TMZ yesterday. Birthday parties including. Just not true. They probably didn’t spend a lot of time playing but now adays who does. I know my kids go to school come home do homework have baths eat dinner and repeat Monday through Friday.
@Kwal!!! LOL LOL gurl that ish is funny! u forgot to say “please don’t be mad at me..” or do you care!!! LOL LOL
seriously…please joe jackson, satcho azz down quickly!!!
@Krysi,
“but she didn’t even speak of her father’s pressence and she stated that “everybody wanted to be here”???
If I never lost anyone in my family and my brother died I would probaly forget my name if I was in front of a crwod of 100’s of people… She started crying, that was most likely the hardest thing she has ever had to do…
@Krysi,
I think she said it correctly. Joe and Janet were they only ones there, she said, “everybody wanted to be there”, (which they weren’t) but they sent her to speak as opposed to Joe speaking. I hope that makes sense.
I don’t think the family hates Joe as much as people seem to think. He is there with the family and acting on their behalf in ways other than media statements. They didn’t have to let him in. He is sleeping at Katherine’s house. She doesn’t have to allow him to do that. I’m getting the impression that he has always been and continues to be the muscle in the family. Him, Katherine and the older kids are the ones that have any real experience with working class living. They are the ones least likely to crumble under pressure. At least that’s what I think.
@28
No I don’t know or have ever worked with for neyo =)
On topic:
They knew kids their age I got pics to prove and im mad the third kid don’t even know who is mommy is cuz they wrote “none” what the **** was michael thinking?? What a disservice to these children
@ Charles, your secret is safe with me. I know who you are. LOL
blankets mom was strictly a surrogate
If I never lost anyone in my family and my brother died I would probaly forget my name if I was in front of a crwod of 100’s of people… She started crying, that was most likely the hardest thing she has ever had to do…

ok ok, fine I will give yall that, but SOMETHING IN THE MILK AIN CLEAN, I can guarantee ya that!
And Janet didn’t cry, but you could tell she was distraught it had only been what 72 hours or so she was probably still in shock, I honestly don’t think that it has hit her YET. Chaka was balling, did yall see her wiping tears through presenting the award

I’m sure there were occasional parties which children would attend. But for the most part, these kids were isolated and kept hidden under veils.
@37
Real talk do u think he should know who his mom was/is this is just so wrong to me
Joe Jackson is just TACKY. He used the press conference today about Michael,and the red carpet at the awards to promote his record label. His son has died.. and he’s trying to revive his dead ass career. So sad!
Krysi J Says:

I saw her crying when they were singing “I’ll Be There”. It got to me.
I agree that the end of the show should have been Maxwell. Janet coming out was a surprise and for anyone who did not feel something you are cold and are not human. LOL.

WHY BECAUSE YOU SAY SO? WE WEREN’T WITH THEM 24/7, YET THERE ARE FOOTAGE DISPELLING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BEING WRONG. I DON’T BLAME HIM FROM SHIELDING HIS CHILDREN FROM PUBLIC SCRUTINY.
NOT TRUE. ON TMZ.COM THEY POSTED PICTURES OF MICHAELS KIDS PLAYING WITH OTHER KIDS
@ charles.. if she doesn’t want to be known… if she does tell her to come on down… you have to think… her and debbie rowe went in to it as business ventures. *shrugs* The boy is 7.. why start a relationship with a woman you never knew who took her check and left??
I was looking at Joe saying to myslef(damn, joe look like a pimp…) a pimp with a painted mustache.. LOL
@ MUNCHO and PAGESINADIARYL:
the children’s own nanny said the kids were isolated and “neglected” and now Joe Jackson is saying it. So they’re both lying and you two total strangers know something we don’t?
WHO SAID THE NANNY IS TELLING THE TRUTH. ALL MOST OF THESE PEOPLE SEE NOW IS $$$$$$$$ WHEN THEY LOOK AT THOSE KIDS. TELL ME THE NANNY DON’T WANT THE KIDS? IF THEY WERE BEING ISOLATED AND NEGLECTED, WHY WAIT UNTIL HE IS GONE TO SAY SOMETHING?
Well now one of the victims in one of the child molestation suits are coming forward tom bout “they lied”….deez whyte people making me SO mAD right now….all I can say is Im sorry Michael. We built him up, and tore him down, ……..!! Michael basically killed himself with medical assistance, his body just couldn’t take anymore. He can finally be at peace.

Do you have a link to a credible news source?
They are micheal jacksons kids,he himself was isolated, as mentioned they werent lockd up in a dungon somewhere but no they werent down street on playground either, i dont see big deal, the public dont let the celebs have any peace, can you imagine the paps flash bulbing your kids every step they take….. mike was too big a celeb to have any normalcy in his life and by default, his kids as well….
Sandra,
The nanny has not made a statement. Many of these “statements” are the figment of someone’s imagination. The nanny was VERY close to Michael and his children. I can’t see her talking crap about him after his death. Furthmore, how could they be neglected if she was there 24/7? I’m not believing anything I read at this point. When the nanny or Debbie makes a statement on camera I will believe it.
What kind of father would talk sideways about his own son…and days after his death..dam shame.
the nanny was a ex nanny from yrs ago that was fired, some african chick that claimed to pump his stomach and other nonsense…..just people that want a check for their story
shouldve been joe not mike smdh
My co worker said Joe was gone when Janet came out.
I agree I dont think the family hates Joe either. He said they ALL came together in May for him and Katherines 60th wedding anniv.
This whole situation has MESS written all over it. We are beginning to see the level of disfunction that’s in the family. It’s almost as if Joe is satisfied Mike is dead, still pissed off that Mike had written him off years ago. I still say I feel sorry for Katherine the most and of course Janet. Katherine should have gotten away from Joe years ago.

~~~~~~~~
Yep, everyone and anyone will now come out the woodwork. I can’t imagine how many ppl are already writing their books. They better let Mike RIP. I like friendly ghosts not pissed off ones. LOL.
However in a small way I understand why she stayed with him. They are from the south and their generation just didn’t get divorces, instead they stayed married and over the years grew apart. I bet they have seperate bedrooms in the house.
i cant get over how they were getting it popping 60 yrs again, they spit those jackson kids out like nothing, and most were super talented (does kathrine or joe have any singing background, i totally forgot)
again=ago
can u blame the man for keeping his kids at home ? look at how society treated him . i don’t believe he neglected his kids . he just did what any parent would do and protected his children from IGNIT a** people . i have seen plenty of pictures where the kids were very active with other kids outside of his house. d*mn the man is gone and he’s still getting kicked .

HE SAID THE SAME THING ALONG OF THE LINES OF THEY CALL HIM WACKO JACKO, AND HE DIDN’T WANT THAT FOR HIS KIDS. HE SAID IT WASN’T NICE. HE DIDN’T WANT HIS KIDS MISTREATED.
^^^ thanks for clarifying that munchos. i’m not a big fan of the way he lived , but i can understand why he did it .
i am sorry coa and MissGauzzz that i cannot get past the tatted brows…all that comes to mind since i read that about him…is “how CREEPY”….the only person i ever knew to do that was the lady at my old nail place…and ironically she was the one who waxed…my BFF put me on to it. and i am sorry…but after i found out that it was true about her…i never went back. how you gonna wax MY brows but YOURS are tatted on????
@daisy…joe and katherine been separated after he owned up to fathering the extra jackson kid (daughter). indeed around the time janet came out. the girl was around 10 by that time. look it up.

YES, THOSE ARE MY DAUGHTERS, I ALSO HAVE TWO SON WHO ARE OLDER. THAT IS AN OLD PICTURE THOUGH, THEY ARE 12 AND 9 NOW, I WANT THE KIDS ON THE PHOTO BACK!
FAME changes everybody to a certain extent BUT it mainly changes people for The WORST !!!
Joe Jackson got caught up in the Attention-n-Fame-n-Power
Too Many stories about him screwing with HIS SONS female fans-groupies to mention and THAT FACT ALONE had way more to do with them loathing him THAN ANY TYPE of questionable Parenting ANTICS !!!
joe jackson’s not exactly a reliable source.

————————————-
amen. it was even WORSE after the trial and accusations. poor michael. i bet he is looking down and his heart is hearting for all of this to be going on in re to his kids.
@Kwall so you telling me Joe was lying about the 60th wedding anniv. he was on CNN talking about it..lol Marlon told Roland Martin the same thing they were all together in May at a family gathering is how he described it.
I remember them being separated as well and when he said 60th wedding anniv I was just as surprised..lol
@Mika are you new?
they are sep. but still married @daisy. my aunt and uncle been sep. for 15 years but still are legally wed.
@Kwall I have ppl in my family the same way I didnt say they were still togehter I said they had a wedding anniv party in May to hear Joe tell it..lol
to hear him tell it is right. lol.
but i would come together for that too. legal or not. 60 years is some real shat.
Oh poor muncho join the group. I have a 15 year old and I can’t figure out what she did with my sweet 3 year old baby. She just ate her up!!
I’m wit YALL… my daughter (Now in college)
I DON’T have a clue WHO she is, I keep a picture of her when she was 4 years old on the refrigerator (She was PERFECT…)
And I ALWAYS ask her… WHERE is MY Precious Baby while pointing at the picture! What did you do WITH HER !!!!!
LMAO
MY 2 GIVE A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO “OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES” JUST TO HEAR THE CONVERSATIONS THEY HAVE. THEY ARGUE ABOUT SILLY THINGS, MY ELDEST DAUGHTER SAYS SHE’S GOING TO HARVARD TO BECOME A LAWYER, HER SISTER SAYS SHE’S GOING TO BE A PEDIATRICIAN, THEY ARGUE BECAUSE THE ELDEST SAYS SHE NOT FOLLOWING HER! THEY WERE EASIER WHEN I COULD DRESS THEM ALIKE AND THEY JUST SIT AND LOOK PRETTY.
Hello All. We sit here and judge. At least the kids had each other to play with and plus, they were rich. (I’m rather be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy ANY day.) Things are gonna turn out all right for these children. 10 yrs from now, it’ll be Michael and Paris, stealing the spotlight around the world, that is, if this glorious world as we know it still stands. As for Joe, he hasn’t changed one bit, looking like the pimp that he is: gold chains, diamond earring, big shades. It’s a wonAder if he didn’t have his shirt open to his naval. And how old is this man? And his wife? What, she’s shy 80 yrs by one yr? How can she take care of 3 small, seemingly fragile children? Maybe Janet will take them, she always wanted kids. I can’t wait til they get their chance to talk without any guidance. But one things for sure. Janet was ALWAYS in MJs corner. That was her big brother, her idol. Peace.
Elove I’ve done the exact same thing. Accused her of taking my sweet baby and replacing her with this person with opinions and a little bit of “tude”.
