La Toya Exposes DARK Jackson Family Secrets & HORRIFIC Abuse! In Her Own Words | the detail.

La Toya Jackson may be seen today as a strong advocate for her famous family. But in the early 1990s, the middle sister was hellbent on exposing her upbringings' many alleged dysfunctions and patterns of abuse.
Calling out scandalous behaviour committed by her father, mother and superstar brother, Michael Jackson, La Toya single-handedly tore down her family's all American public image. Accusations she has yet to retract or give further explanation to.
But what are your thoughts? Do you believe La Toya's earlier allegations still hold credibility?

If a mother covers up for the father when it comes to sexual abuse, then that mother is as guilty as the man who commits the acts. I can't understand how a woman who was supposedly very religious would allow such abhorent acts against her children. This is so terrible if in fact this happened.

[@misguidedpearls7456]

I agree But here's the thing Religous is just like the pharisees in the bible They had nothing to do with gods heart or nature Only looking good n quoting scripture Gods word says test the spirit Meaning Don't call something simply bc of titles or how it dresses Check the spirit n the heart to see what it is.. Religious doesn't equal God like Even satanists are religous...

The mother was shocked by the PlayBoy pictures but found it perfectly normal to have a husband abusing her daughters... What a brilliant sense of values and priorities.

[@gonzo22martinez]

I know right? My exact thoughts. I read long ago that it's because her daughters actions speak of how the mother is. Not that it's true though. That's the mother's way of thinking because she's ashamed that it's being talked about publicly and humiliating. So sad for all

[@chandradewit7014]

The mother repeatedly says that LaToya is/was brainwashed. Yes...by her. And it is projection too...Katherine seems brainwashed herself. What is wrong with this woman? Did she really have polio? And yet produce eleven children. Why did she hook up with this crazy rage-aholic... this so called husband? And why so many kids? And no other family members to intervene? Or bear witness. No grandparents, uncles, aunts, nieces, cousins, neighbours, teachers, schoolfriends, church members, house doctors, or other witnesses: drivers, house cleaners, nannies. Jehova’s witnesses? I do not believe that. No, no. Sick Joe also hang out in the Playboy whorehouse. Took his children there at a very young age. One of the older brothers confessed. Was this woman well paid for creating a black show bizz group? Was that the deal? These parents became multi-millionaires themselves. ....By doing what? .............By presenting children to a cruel circus. Do not forget that. They sold their children into highly sexualized 'entertainment'. Where do these monsters come from? Also: why is it allowed in the US to throw your children to the lions? In Michaels' book there already were descriptions of wild and sadistic violence. And the mother allowing the father to beat the crap out of them. And molest them. Threaten them. Is there no child protection in the USA? Was/is this family protected by invisible powerful groups? To create show zombies. How was it possible for this well-known family with so many red flags, allegations and visibly traumatized children (self-harming, extreme plastic surgery, anorexia and many other addictions, written testimonies)....that no action was taken to prosecute the parents. That household seemed like a concentration camp. Apparently LaToya suffers from Stockholm Syndrome. And PTSD. What a cruel country.

[@xlionyx]

You don't know she knows that, and if she knows you don't know she finds that normal either. You don't know any single thing about her daily live, her possible strugles, fears (for her husband, the system, press and public) and thoughts ! Maybe, if something happened she found out later or had a terrible fight to protect herself and her children. You don't know a thing before you asked her personally and walked her maybe very complex and fearfull life in her shoes. It's very wrong how people judge without much information. Even for close family and a proffessional psychologist or judge this kind of cases are very difficult to find out the truth. And cases are so complex that you can't speak of guilt of an mother, a lady who maybe was in an daily fight to protect her 8 children. How to run away and hide with 8 famous children and maybe a dangerous (i hope not realy dangerous, but he hit them, so not the sweetest) husband ?

Coming from an abusive background myself, its not unusual to see the rest of the siblings simply denying or downplaying a lot of the things that happened in childhood because they either don’t remember/don’t want to remember/are in denial or are too afraid to say anything in the present because it would just ruin the family dynamic. And parents rarely EVER admit their mistakes/believe they’re wrong so there’s that.

What Latoya went through is exactly what I see in my family history. My great grandfather was a monster who sexually abused his children and his wife my great grandmother who was very religious didn't do anything about it. My uncles and aunts ended up with lots of health problems and mental illness due to the abuse. Two of my great aunts never married. I heard terrible things and I believe that my mother went through it as well. To this day everyone is tight lipped about it and many are still living in deep denial because it's too painful and shameful to talk about. This is a generational problem. I believe that Latoya is definitely telling the truth.

✅I totally understand. It all happened to me too. Your exact story is my exact story.

[@janelleanderson6744]

I'm sorry that happened to you and your siblings. I think we share a similar experience. In my late 30's, I outed my adopted, acoholic father regarding his sexual abuse to his natural daughter (my adopted sister), when we were teens. When my adopted mother heard me state this, she turned to my sister and asked if it was true. My sister said no. But she had been the one to come and tell me about it when she was 15 and I was 17. In this instance, he had been drinking as usual, and had asked her to bring me to him. When she told me this, I was grossed out and furious and wouldn't let her go back to my parent's bedroom. She was scared of my angry reaction and scared not to go back to him. I remember wanting to kill him. I think my adopted mom was getting something at the store when this went down. I was in denial about our sick family for years. When I outed the lowlife in our late 30's and my sister denied the abuse, I stayed out of contact with them for over 20 years. Finally accomplished some things. I barely thought about the parents, but did miss my adopted sister. I reached out to her after both of them had died. Felt nothing about their passing. My adopted mom was, as my former therapist described her, sadistic and cruel. She had a pleasant social demeanor, but I think people in our church and some teachers saw through it. They were markedly kind to me. Growing up, I avoided my adopted dad. Even early on, I knew that he was "off". I think he was a little afraid of me. It was terrible having so much anger and such a temper as a teen and young adult, but now I am glad it was there, and thank God for it.

Michael said in an interview his father called him ugly and said he had a big nose. After the Pepsi commercial accident, he had several nose surgeries, and the siblings followed. A petite nose was to achieve “Father’s” approval. The father also said they couldn’t court with dark skin ppl, Janet had to hide her relationship to Bobbi Brown and he confirmed this. She also layer in life was in love with Jermaine and was engaged to him, but refused to marry him. Years later she married the Middle Eastern man and then converted and had a child, only to return to the US and reclaim the name of Jesus. To be lighter was desired, so they all bleached their skin. They went from dark skin to Afros and braids to pale skin, silky wigs and weaves to dress up this persona they were creating just to have love and respect of abusive, wicked, cult serving parents.

Women have always played victim inorder to belittle their own involvement and participation when something goes wrong. They do this to avoid being held accountable for their actions. Everything she said in the past was very deliberate, at least to some degree. It's not all Jack Gordon. She wasn't entirely a puppet. Afterall, she has since withdrawn all her allegations against MJ, but she never did the same for Joe. She remained vague about that part, dancing around it, neither confirming nor denying it. As you can see in the final part of this video, the interview that concluded it

[@chipperrobinson3297]

I am going to try and explain something about this child abuse situation if I can. Let's take an African child for example. Now just for example let's say that when that child was pushed from his mother's womb, he or she, was immediately wrapped in a blanket and placed on an airplane and flown over to Japan... Twenty some odd years from that place of birth and time, if you went over to Japan to talk with that child, he or she would be speaking Japanese and surviving as a Japanese person and if you take the child and bring him or her back to America, that child will still have Japanese ways in him or her. When a child is born in a dysfunctional family, by the time that child breaks free from the family, he or she carries a certain amount of dysfunctional traits with them , it will take a certain amount of time and reprograming (if that's at all possible) to change the child's thought pattern but this dysfunctional experience that the child went through will inevitably leave some mental damage because you can never remove the memories, that stays with them forever. Until you have lived through child abuse or an extremely dysfunctional family,you can never know what I am talking about, all you can do is give your opinion about something you know nothing about. I am 70 years old now,and the atrocious environment I grew up in has always been right there with me. I was diagnosed with PTSD in my early twenties. Latoya's actions to me were not a betrayal of her family, it was a defensive tool she used to try and navigate through a world that has a hard time believing her story, a story she needed to tell someone to try and gain some from of sanity to her existence on this earth.

[@for-house-stark]

@@chipperrobinson3297 I'd say latoyas actions were more rebellious than defensive. Sure, the jacksons were dysfunctional and abused. But she tried to go the other way and use that dysfunction to promote herself which was disastrous for her and her family. She loved the attention, as her sister Janet was observant enough to pick up on, even Michael knew what she was doing. She could've left the spotlight for her siblings and live quietly like rebbie did, but she courted it.

[@chipperrobinson3297]

Like I said, you could never understand this life unless you lived through it. No two siblings think alike they all have different ways of handling this type of situation. You are going to say what you want to say but she is a survivor, and she survived by any means necessary. She is still here on this earth and the decision she made to survive is between her and her creator. I have siblings who are no longer alive on this earth as a direct result of coming up in the family and my younger brother has been missing for over 20 years now. He has no knowledge that our mother is dead or the other deaths in the family.

I don't doubt Latoya because I grew up in a family where stuff like this went on and it was swept under the rug. The grownups, especially the women were afraid 😟😳, to speak up because they were afraid of their husbands,or the male members who are committing these despicable acts. Then they will say: what happens in this house, stays here. They were afraid of bringing shame to the family. They didn't want the perpetrators sent to prison where they rightfully deserved to be! There was a lot of other violent acts that took place when I was growing up!

Joe Jackson was a horrible person, and the fact that her mother just let this go on tells me that she was probably afraid of him as well. I’ve never heard about the sexual abuse. I remember him being interviewed after Michael died and he wouldn’t even talk about Michael. He started going off talking about other things, and the interviewer just looked at him in shock. Selena Quintanilla‘s family reminds me of the Jacksons, and the way that they started out so young but Selena’s father was not anything like Joe Jackson. He loved his daughter and his other two kids and didn’t lay a hand on them That’s why Selena was such a kind and humble soul. No wonder Michael was so screwed up. It’s just very very sad. I can’t believe how much Latoya looks like Michael. Good for her for speaking up.
