Sadly I knew something was about to happen. Janet honoring him in the video. I feel Joe got a bad rap, he did nothing but got his family out of poverty and they became legends. Yes he was tough, but ask the kids that weren’t manged by their father how their life went. No one cares the most about your well being than your parents. That’s why we have a Brandy, Usher, Aaliyah, The Jacksons, Britney, Beyonce, because their parents manged their career and made sure they were taken care of. You know how many child stars that been messed up because their parents weren’t there in their careers?
Just because we have The Beyonces and MJs of the world doesn’t mean that the way they were raised was ok!!! We don’t know what Joe did.
I hate when people make it seem like since the dad is in their kids life, you shouldn’t complain. My dad bought me stuff and took the family on vacations, but guess what was done after the fact? Name calling, yelling, drinking, abuse, cheating (on my mom, his wife) etc. so cut the cräp!! Good father =\= present father.
U need to b quite
Britney’s parents made sure she was taken care of? LMAO was that before or after her breakdown?
So sad
Damn…
Damn girl everybody going through some heavy s*** now
Praying for the Jackson family.
Papa Joe. He’s the reason all of his children bacame legends. But, also the MAIN reason why MJ became very mental. He’s lived a long adventures life. Someone his age gotta be careful. Praying for the family.
Janet honoring her dad in the video gave it away but I pray all should be well soon. Amen????
JOE did very well with the family regardless.
RIP Joe you were a good good man ???? and don’t y’all reply to me, y’all know it’s only a matter of time. These Celebs deaths always happens in three’s.
Just STFU your so damn insensitive it ain’t even funny have several seats and stay seated SMDH.
B**** you stfu, who the f*** was cracking jokes ? You Stan for an overrated rap version of Elvis, your dismiss peasant.
I hope he makes it through this and recovers fully.
I Wish Mr. Jackson All the Best..My prayers Are with Him And Hus Family…
