Over in the CafeMom Hollywood group, moms are mostly expressing distaste for Michael Jackson's dad Joe Jackson in the thread MJ's Dad Makes Me Sick.
I missed the BET Awards red carpet at which Joe Jackson, according to Jezebel, answered CNN's Don Lemon's questions about the death of his son Michael with "abrupt, detached answers, passed the mic to his spokesperson and attorney, and then promoted his record company."
What??!!!!
Since then, however, Daddy Jackson has denied the record company plug, but, via AFP, "a transcript of the CNN interview clearly shows Jackson volunteering the information about the company." Wowzers.
This is just more unsavory news about the man who is said to have abused Michael and his siblings. Michael was very open about his father's physically and emotionally humiliating disciplinary tactics.
And this could be one of the people who end up, along with his wife Katherine, with custody of Michael Jackson's three children.
What do you think of Joe Jackson's behavior since Michael's death?

From the interviews I've been watching I can only conclude that MJ's father IS a jerk. I don't believe he has a bit of sorrow over the loss of his son. He's more focused on how well HE, himself, did in making his son a national pop star. If it takes physical and verbal abuse to make a child famous I would rather have a loving "unknown". What a cad!
Have any of you ever seen the movie, Jackson 5? It's so evident. It started when Michael and his brothers were kids. Joe wanted the group started for HIMSELF, not for the kids. And with Michael, he hit the jackpot. Now that he's gone, Joe has to figure something else out...I agree, jerk. He didn't even look sad. And it had only been three days!
HIs Father makes me sick..enough said!
I think joe jackson is a big jerk, and shouldn't even have the right to say he was MICHAELS dad. He showed no kind of sadness, or hurt or anything. He,s an A##H###
I DIDN'T SEE THE "INFAMOUS" BET RED CARPET SHINDIG...SO IF HE SAID THAT THAT IS JUST SAD...
