Joe Jackson on Larry King Live

/in /by

2009 BET Awards - Press Room

Joe Jackson was on Larry King Live last night saying that he never abused Michael. Did you see it?

When Larry King asks Joe about whether or not he was abusive to Michael, Joe answers, “I never been abusive to him”. You need to take a closer look at the words being spoken here. Joe Jackson clearly skirts the issues by playing with words, if you want my opinion.

Notice how convoluted Joe’s answer is? He talks about slavery and torture, and then ends up saying a lot of people spank their kids and don’t admit it. Why doesn’t he answer the questions directly? Then Joe ends his somewhat non-nonsensical answer by saying he’s “never beaten at all”. I think the key word here is “beaten”. It’s all semantics, if you want my opinion.

A man who abused his children and who is denial about it is likely to diminish his actions, and I believe that is what Joe Jackson is doing here. Notice how he doesn’t deny “spanking” Michael? And how he justifies everyone else must be doing it?

When I’ve seen Michael Jackson talk of how afraid he was of his father, I absolutely believed him.

Jeffrey Marsalis

/in /by

A reader asked me for my opinion about Jeffrey Marsalis, who was featured this week on Primetime.

I’ve been following this story about Jeffrey J. Marsalis, who is known as the “worst date rapist” ever in this country. Watching the case, I was curious what you would make of him. Watching his case, I saw (what I thought were) lies on both the sides, his accusers and he himself. A link to a video of him speaking can be found here: http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=8069223&page=1

Read moreWhen I watched Marsalis speak, I see an arrogance and superiority complex that makes absolutely no sense, considering he has been accused of rape multiple times. If you are innocent and your name is being destroyed, you get angry and upset. You feel violated, and while Marsalis feigns anger, he does a horrible job of it. He is a horrible liar, if you want my opinion. He gives many clues to his deceit from thinking on his feet to inappropriate emotions and facial expressions to unusual tone of voice when he talks. I am happy to see that he has been locked up! I didn’t trust one word out of his mouth. He thinks he is smarter than everyone else, but thankfully, he has learned this is not so.

As for the women who accused him, I believe they are being genuine and honest. I did not detect deceit in the interviews that I saw during the Primetime show. These women were truly victims, and I do not believe for an instant any of them were making up the accusations that they were raped (as Marsalis suggested). Marsalis was a master at his craft and could fool many people. Worse, he chose victims, if you want my opinion, who were more trusting than the average person. He had a keen eye for picking out best targets for his crimes.

Marsalis Match.com Profile:

“I have to say that I am highly driven, and I am looking for that special someone that has the same qualities. … I am also looking for a woman to be a leader and take the initiative and make things happen for herself, and not blaming others for incidentals that might happen along the way during the pathway of life. … If you want to be my copilot on the magic carpet ride it’s carry on only, that means no stop signs, no stop lights, and throttle up.”

Chilling!

Chilling Text Messages from Debbie Rowe

/in /by

According to Fox news, Debbie Rowe wrote the following text messages to a close friend:

“My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the welfare of the children,” Rowe wrote in a July 5 email to White. “Do I want the kids? Hell no. Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely. I don’t want to look like the woman who gave away her kids and just forgot about them.” Read more here

While we know people lie, cheat and say whatever they think they have to publicly, even when they don’t believe it, isn’t it hard to believe when you see it for real–like this above?

Debbie Rowe is one cold, calculating and callous woman, and a woman who I would not trust in any circumstance. The only priority in Debbie’s life, in my opinion, is Debbie.

“To The Best of My Knowledge…”

/in /by

Dr Arnold Klein talks to Press

Dr Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson’s dermatologist, was interviewed by Diane Sawyer last week and was asked if he was the father of Michael Jackson’s children. His response is certainly eyebrow-lifting when he said, “All I can tell you is to the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children.”

What? Does he have a habit of depositing sperm in strange places? Is he suggesting to us that perhaps he over-indulges in drinks/drugs and can’t recollect this stuff??

Give me a break!

Dr. Klein goes on to say, “Push comes to shove…uh…I can’t say anything about it, but to the best of my knowledge I’m not the father of these children, okay?… I can’t answer it in any other way because you know what? I don’t want to feed any of this insanity that’s going around…”

Isn’t he doing just that–feeding the rumor mill? Clearly, Dr. Klein knows where he left his sperm and if the children of Michael Jackson are potentially his biological children or not.

Why isn’t he leveling with us? Is he afraid of being scrutinized like Debbie Rowe?
