While many across the world are mourning Joe Jackson, who died this week after battling terminal cancer, Bette Midler isn’t.
The 89-year-old Jackson family patriarch was renown for his iron-handed approach to honing his children into household names; a reality achieved several times over with the career successes of the Jackson 5, as well as Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson as soloists. All artists he managed at pivotal points.
Still, his tactics rendered him a polarizing figure in life and seemingly in death too. Because, Midler took to social media to weigh-in and had less than favorable things to say.

It’s the mystery Brit-Pop fans have been trying to solve for five years and even Scooby Doo has been coming up short.
See, the original line-up – comprised of Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena, and Siobhan Donaghy – reunited as MKS in 2013 and generated ample buzz with news of a new album.
They cranked anticipation into overdrive with the release of critically acclaimed single ‘Flatline’ – but sadly its title became a literal reality as everything went quiet following its unorthodox midweek retail roll-out.
In the years since, the word “soon” has been offered up as the sole response to questions about a comeback, while curious fans appear to have unearthed documents pointing to a legal wrangle centered around the group’s name. Specifically, a battle for MKS to own the rights to the “Sugababes” title.
Now, in a new interview Siobhan confirms as much, while offering fresh hope for those still eager for material from the ladies.
