Janet Jackson‘s truth-bearing documentary has been earning rave reviews for its colossally candid deep-dive into all corners of the icon’s life.
One of the central focuses of the four-part film was Joe Jackson, the patriarch of the singer’s legendary family.

The first half was dedicated to her childhood which unveiled the curtain on how much, although a strict disciplinarian, Joe Jackson loved his kids, wanted the best for them and was an extremely smart, strategic, and effective manager, unlike the villain that mainstream media have painted.

Google “Britney Spears Wardrobe Malfunction” and you will see that she has had a number of malfunctions actually similar, yet not blown out of proportion by mainstream media like Janet.

Was Joe stealing from his kids like you Mathew?
With Destinys Child he was a good manager but when it comes to Michelle and Kellys Solo Carrer he was not on point his focus was completly on Beyonce. Kelly Rowland sold with her first album over 4 Million Albums after that she never sold that much of album unites.
It is impossible for this to happen, but think about what a wonderful conversation Matthew and Joe or Katherine and Tina could have!!!! Shepherding their kids through show business: the good, the bad, and the slimy…IJS
