Jackson Blasts Family In Secret Tapes
Posted on Wed Sep 23, 2009 08:16 AM PDT
Michael Jackson blasts his own family in secret tapes recorded during an interview with the ghostwriter of his autobiography Moonwalk.
In the recordings, obtained by NOTW, Jackson calls his brothers lazy, Janet a tomboy who broke his heart when she got married to James Debarge in 1984, LaToya "Ms. Nice and Nasty," says his mother "disappointed" him and his father was an abusive "mystery man."
"The brothers didn't give me support," Michael says when talking about the Jackson 5. "We'd be working on a TV show or video and they'd be sitting around moaning and groaning but I'd be watching and learning. It takes a talent, but some people are lazy and don't want to develop anything."
As for his father, Jackson revealed how Joe would beat the boys during rehearsals if they made one wrong step. "He would sit in a chair with a belt or a switch and we'd do our performance. And if we messed up he hit you." Jackson reveals that although he was never hit that much while they were rehearsing, he got it worse than anyone outside of the business, for talking back to Joe.
He also reveals, that although his brothers found him to be the "wimpy" one, it was Michael who stood up to Motown chief, Berry Gordy. "They thought I was naive, soft and sweet and wimpy, but I wasn't. It was me who went to Berry Gordy and said, 'We're gonna leave'."

i love him.
What's the point launching that stuff out in the public? It will only hurt the family and when something is not good for the family, it's not good for the kids either. Those were SECRET tapes, they should have remained secret. And we're not strangers to what the tapes reveal. We already know about all of this, except for the Gordy thing. Medias = gossip of course, whatever...
I really do wish the media would just leave him alone. HE IS DEAD. Please give it a break.
We cannot blame the media for exposing so much about MJ,MJ is a superstar, everything connected to him is a blast to the million fans
will this man?? ever just die already let it go we all know that this family if effed up stop hurting the kids
this is rele retarted.MIND YOUR BUSISSNES.! THE MAN IS DEAD.! LET HIM REST IN PEACE.! GEESH!!! I am sick of hearing all this stuff about his family... Can you think about his children.?! This has got to be really hard for them... you really have to stop.!!!1
Michael was a wonderful man that loved the world and everything in it. He had his fans and there were also people that didn't care for him but they need to just leave him alone and rest in piece. He had a very kind heart and was a wonderful father. He did everything for his children. He was truly loved all over the world and a good friend to me. So please stop the rumors and hurting his children.
i HEARD PART OF THE TAPES. IT seems that Mike was telling the truth about his situation. You see the brothers can't get it together. they should have been encourged to develop their other talents growing up. Show business is cool but all of us will not be superstars. Long live the King. Love ya Mike.
