Joe Jackson Interview Soul Train November 3, 1974

[@swoods7720]

“ Michael like babies he always hold babies and he’s very fond of babies” saddens me that people attempt to twist something innocent pure and loving.

[@rwj777]

The little baby that Michael was holding is Toriano Adren Jackson Jr. also known as Taj , which is Tito oldest son.

Rest in peace. Joe Jackson, Don Cornelius, Michael Jackson, red fox, Eddie Kendricks, DeeDee Jackson, & Junior Walker 🙏🏽

Joe Jackson is missed.

Anyone who misses this monster should go to hell where he is.

[@watchcoreyent]

Joe was just cool as he wanted to be . All of em .

[@chiefo8004]

Joe Jackson was a good father. He might have pushed his children because he wanted them to achieve success but he was not bad or abusive.

[@L0uL0uisa]

TheGooners11 according to Janet, he was old skool to the point it could turn a little abusive

[@injail3846]

he was abusive. u think hitting your kids with iron cords, belts, stripping them nude to beat them is okay just because they’re gonna get famous? no.

[@iRockwthMJ]

Agreed!

[@Therese-q5u]

@Lions Truth What about how Joe Jackson would call Michael Ugly? And told him his nose was so big and he was so black! That he didn’t get that ‘from me’? What’s the reason for the mental abuse and humiliation? That stuff deeply hurt and scarred Michael. There’s recordings of him saying so. I acknowledge your comment as a general statement about how some black families kept their kids in line and off the streets but I think Joe was more of a domineering and abusive person. Clearly. He NEVER hugged them or even let them call him Dad. I’m not sure why people are so quick to forget all the mentally abusive things he did. Or maybe they just didn’t know about them.

[@anneliesejackson507]

no. he was very abusive. DO NOT TRY TO ACT LIKE WHAT HE DID TO THEM WAS NORMAL. especially to michael.

[@joyb3051]

Rip. I dont care i love joe jackson always have. The greatest father in history.

[@jasonvoorhees1765]

Lam Nestor ok thanks I was wondering what year it was

[@wizardblix]

Y’all right, it was 73’ bcuz Don Cornelius had the same suit as J5 and Mike himself got interviewed for Get It Together

[@lenhales7842]

He said that baby’s name is Jackson.. isn’t that Taj?

[@datbaby1990]

It is. This episode was actually aired November 1973. Taj was born a month before this aired.

[@kristinasiefker3467]

Strange that he did not know the name

[@jacluv7862]

Yes its Taj, but Taj's real name is the same as Titos real name Tarino. Joe has sooo many kids he probably forgotten their names every once in a while,lol!!!!

[@ms.titianabab7133]

CHAIDEELOVE I love the Jacksons family so much and I miss the old days back then they were family, I wish I was born that era but I was born in the late 90’s, in 1998.

[@itssjdrip]

The whole abuse thing is subjective I don’t really consider it abuse based off what we heard, Joe repeatedly states he only used a belt while whooping them, but even if, it’s not uncommon in a black household that parents use more than a belt to discipline, spatulas, switches, shoes, belt, water bottles 😂 etc. I truly believe Michael was very sensitive and it effects him differently to get a whooping for something

[@OasisJones]

He was WHIPPED, thrown against walls, be beaten with objects, locked in the basement and closets, this man was an abusive monster. I don’t give a fuck what color your skin is, abuse is abuse. Them being black does not excuse that behavior. And stop victim blaming Michael as if being sensitive was something he needed to stop being.

[@tango4484]

Beating your child because they missed a step is abusive, Michael said he had thrown up and fainted just by being in his presence,he was doing some fucked up 💩 if your own child is that scared of you. According to fans from the 70s they said joe used to slap Michael in front of them as a teen as a w at to humiliate him

[@OasisJones]

@@tango4484 damn I’m not shocked to hear it but I never heard those stories of slapping in front of fans. Complete monster, no boundaries at all to what was bad. Is there a place you’ve heard this from?

[@tango4484]

@@OasisJones I’m so sorry but the last I heard fans talk about this story was years ago, I can’t even remember if it was from a book or some type of interview

[@OasisJones]

@@tango4484 That’s okay, I’m fascinated with the inner dynamics of this family and their outer impact so I’m always collecting information about them from throughout their lives (literally in my notes as well), and this is a very interesting tidbit to learn, and I think with more digging online I can maybe find more details on this kind of public humiliation from Joe. He wanted the people to think that Michael was worthless as a person outside of performing, because that’s what he saw him as.

[@theimanidillardshow]

He push his children to be great.

[@dchi2012]

Wrong year. October 1973

[@ghanasoul]

The TV movie did NOT come close to the real person. Joe comes off very soft spoken. Then again there’s another side only his wife and children know. I still don’t get why he didn’t let his children call him “dad”, “daddy” etc. i found that VERY strange! Who does that?

[@oliviernga6080]

He was raised this way, he didn't know any better. He was the eldest of his 4 siblings, that's one of the reason his own father treated him harshly. His father, Samuel Jackson, forbade him to call him "dad" as well, and according to Joe Jackson he treated him more like his student than like his son

[@dignifiedblackman4742]

Youll never understand it was a Different rules Different era

[@dignifiedblackman4742]

Joe Jackson greatest music manager of all time

[@OasisJones]

@@oliviernga6080 No he was a sociopathic narcissist who was terrified of intimacy and being called Dad was another barrier.

[@enyin2001]

Just looks scary-cold

[@daweilee1986]

I wonder if he was offended that most of his kids had nose jobs so their noses didn’t look like his

[@tango4484]

He was the one bullying them for their nose
