MJ's estate took care of his medical bills during his final days. RIP

Yawn...yeah, he's dead...

I just have a low opinion of people who abuse their children physically and emotionally, and are proud of it.

My sister put it beautifully on her Facebook account: "The blueprint for Mathew Knowles. No matter how messed up he was, he gave Black folk our own royal family." Sleep easy, Joe.

It was said Joe finally realized what he did but it was too late so to speak.

But I always say people who do wrong, they are forced to stay longer to get their punishment so to speak so maybe he finally was like "yeah I really messed up on my kids and my wife"...

But then again, that's just the optimist in me. God's gonna deal with him now.

A disgusting human being who brought a second-rate impersonator of his dead son to an award show a mere days after the death, and stood chuckling without a care in the world.

I was under the impression PnH, that you wanted to limit conversations to be about the music only , so thanks for sharing this juicy tidbit. I'd never heard about this , I'll have to see what more I can find on it.

It was at the BET Awards four days after MJ passed. Think it was that impersonator Navi. Joe got so much backlash from it that he went on Piers Morgan to explain himself...and it got worse from there; he was still doing interviews until around 2013 or so. Wasn't long after that that his health started to fail, it seemed.

Sad to hear about the passing of Joe Jackson may he now be in Peace, whatever we may think he was Father & Grandfather, Great Grandfather and they have lost someone, Condolences to all The Family.

An article from the Washington Post covering his entire life. The WaPo does excellent stories when stars like this pass. This story is no exception.
