What was Left Out of the A&E LifeTime Janet Jackson Doc Part 1

[@Camilledtw]

I loved the Janet doc, not only for the nostalgia but it was real, I have so much more respect for her.

[@tiquilladates7842]

I never noticed how beautiful Joe’s eyes were and, it’s surprising that out of nine children, none of them inherited them.

He must’ve had eye issues. His other brothers didn’t have that issue.

[@dusroots]

[@RB-gt8bf]

IMHO nothing was left out...Miss Jackson told us what she wanted us to know...it is her truth to share as she pleases. Thank her for letting us in. Applaud her wanting to keep her life private...so many of these celebrities think people need to know their business...you can remain dignified and relevant at the same Miss Jackson is a prime example..that less is more. So happy she has her son...she is glowing in her Mom role...and BTW really can't cry me a river for someone worth over 300 million dollars who in her own words says she is thankful for how she was raised (paraphrasing)...my own upbringing with my Mom & Dad who was not having any non sense out of me...I am so thankful for...never saw it as abuse...it was them making sure I did not end up like many in my hood at the time...I completed 2 Master Degrees...hold down a great job in a great profession...so I thank my Mom & Dad who let me know "don't let me have to take off my belt (that was Dad)...or my Mom when she took off her shoe you did not run you walked to her and took it and said Yes Ma'am. When grandma Rose was watching all us grand kids she threw a mean gravy spoon (the big metal kind) with excellent aim. She could hit you from across the room. Thanks grandma!

[@nicki1091]

So we just gonna sit up here and act like Janet didn’t accuse james of trying to take advantage of the fact that she was guillable at 18 years old and she agreed to marry him like girl learn how to take responsibility for your self and your actions

@@nicki1091 he was 19 and she was 16 when they started dating. She was trying to get away from her dad and clung to him. he started the disappearing shit started right after they were married. He was also beating her and was going to commit suicide in front of her. She was gullible and in love, and he took advantage of that weaknesses

[@nicki1091]

I understand that and I’m not accusing his behavior but unless he forced her she chose to marry him. It’s like you said she clung to him when she was trying to get away from her dad and she even said that she married him for the wrong reasons so that tells me that she didn’t marry him on the foundation of love. Also they all took advantage of her not just James and for somebody who was so afraid of him because he was abusive I don’t understand why she would tell him alone in the car when she clearly knew how he would react why not bring a family member with you or tell him in person hell she could have even just disappeared without saying a word because she did that when she separated from him anyway I just feel like she created unnecessary chaos that could have been avoided

[@fidelnenas8390]

In my opinion, Bobby Brown needed something interesting and not known information to sell his book. If he felt he was too black that was his insecurities showing because one Joe Jackson didn’t know who Janet was dating hence she snuck and married James to get away from his control. Two, if Joe had anything against Bobby it wasn’t his color, it was the flashy, brash, outspoken way he carried himself the total opposite of his daughter. The reason why I say that Joe didn’t care about the color of Bobby Brown skin is because Rebbie’s husband Nathaniel Brown was dark skin. So all that colorism BS in Bobby Browns book is just what most writers would call filler material. They broke up because of him and his ways not because of Joe’s perceived color issues. Janet dated many men in between her long term relationships and she didn’t mention them in the documentary. Bobby Brown was probably a three month or less fling that he thought was more than it was. He probably ran his mouth and she had to cut his bragging ass loose. Hell, look at Jermaine Dupree he ain’t no James DeBarge or Rene Eliezando color wise. I’m not buying the Bobby Brown colorism bull. I see it this way Janet never denied or ever commented on whether she ever got with him. So

[@lyhmedia5225]

.....and YOU GEY THE PRIZE, FOR TELLING TRUTH THAT MADE SENSE..also, let's remember she dated TODD BRIDGES FOR A SHORT MOMENT...this was beyond the TV THANG, I REMEMBER VERY WELL AS THIS WAS MY ERA...BE 55 IN 4 DAYS.

[@bonitagardner7592]

👍🏾

[@carbar3936]

Bobby & Jan were late teens/early 20's when they dated after the DeBarge divorce, right? IDK if Joe had color issues, and his kids dating/marrying darker skin people doesn't exempt him from being a colorist or not. Can't say one way or the other if Joe is or isn't nor whether Bobby lied or didn't. Only he & Jan knows if she said it or not to Bobby. I'm light, grandad dark, was very color-struck, my grandma could pass, but couldn't stand the color skin game, but I noted my grandfather made 2 exceptions toward darker skin people in the fam as his 2 of his favs. WTH & SMH? Through the yrs. I've noticed skin game people light and dark skin lovers makes exceptions from their colorism issues when they like a person, but still hold on to their idiotic skintone beliefs overall.

[@dh9690]

Tupac talked about how he thought he and Janet had a strong relationship. But after Poetic Justice wrapped the phone number he had for her didn't work anymore. lol

[@Kay-fv7cw]

Janet talked about a lot of this from the doc in her book. Jermaine brought Switch and DeBarge to Motown so yes, the two families knew each other. The Jackson Street is the original name as the streets are named after Presidents...Jackson, Roosevelt, Van Buren, etc. very similar to Chicago. Hence, Roosevelt High School was the next main street not far from their home and where they had the talent shows. And yes, I think she would have made it if Joe was alive because she told most in her book and Joe was alive then, and he craved controversy...it was free publicity 😉

No she definitely wouldn’t have made that documentary if Papa Joe was still living. No way. Jermaine actually discovered Switch, which included Bobby and Tommy (may God bless them) DeBarge and around 1979, the other DeBarges moved to Los Angeles and that’s how Janet and James got to know each other. Nay, girl, I checked Twitter trends in those two days, BOBBY BROWN trended more than Janet Jackson’s. 😳 That argument between Janet and Jimmy Jam was so funny! 😂😂😂

[@PatentRob]

You right. I think DeBarge had more talent than the Jackson 5. However, there was one thing missing from DeBarge that the Jacksons had . . . that's Papa Joe! Papa Joe needs his own book/doc because Joseph is vastly underrated and is the gold standard for Manager/Father.

But Bobby Brown was an entanglement and he was after James. She was with Rene by that time. There was no need to talk about him. Bobby shouldn't have talked about her in his book and movie. He didn't talk about Karyn White and Madonna in the movie. I'm glad Janet finally dead that rumor about her having a secret daughter. I've never believed that rumor. That rumor got on my nerves. Like what Janet said in the documentary, why would she have kept a child away from James despite his issues? Mama DeBarge pissed me off when she was co-signing that wildebeest who was going around claiming to be Janet and James' daughter for clout. Rene Elizondo gave me clout chaser vibes especially considering that he sued her after their divorce. In the documentary, Janet even questioned why he was with her. Now, he and Janet did work well together and he did a lot for Janet creatively. He also caused a lot of hurt. I think he contributed to her depression that she openly spoke about during The Velvet Rope era. Janet didn't like how he would put pressure on her to look a certain way. Janet was already self-conscious and struggled with her weight. Janet did talk about the removal of her rib rumor in her book True You. It wasn't true. I loved how Joe gave his assistant his blessing to work with Janet after he was fired as her manager. He told her to take care of her. Joe loved his children. I hate how the world made him out to be a monster. Janet humanized her father in this documentary.

[@charjcrochet]

To me Rene is a cool guy but ummm maybe NOT to be in a relationship with cause that "joke" about her spreading her legs as long as she was cool with it DID NOT sit right with me. She was secretly your wife and even if she was just your girlfriend....it's certain shit you don't do and I felt like he got off on seeing her with other guys on screen

I think Joseph may not have disciplined Janet in the way as other siblings too is she was the youngest, and when she grew up her family wasn't struggling and didn't have that concern about their kids growing up poor. Also you could tell from Janet's pre-Control interviews she didn't look happy

[@ladycharliestallworth2280]

I think you're right, I think as parents you become a little more patient as you grow older. I know my grandparents were so much sweeter to my daughter, she could get away with everything. I can hear them now let that baby alone she ain't hurting nothing. I could not touch anything when we went to someone's house, I was warned before we left home don't touch nothing, sit down and be quiet and don't eat nothing, say no thank you if they ask. Lol.

[@joshuamcdowell9745]

In her book, Janet said that Joe hit her once when she was little. It was just one time tho.

[@OctoberLibra1]

The reason Mike spoke of abuse from Joe was because he was sensitive and internalized him being disciplined as his father not liking or loving him. Janet internalized Mike talking about her weight because that was something she was ridiculed about being a young girl and actress. Mike and Janet both carried this internal hurt for years, but Janet recently since 2015 made peace with Joe and his parenting skills. She spoke on this before the documentary that she understood why Joe did what he did and treated them the way he did, and that was to keep them grounded, respectful and focused...I come from a large family and my younger sisters and brothers did not get that belt or electrical cord to the butt like the older one's did..and the grand children get all the love and respect from the parents, because as a young mother and father, you aren't adapt to kids and life and working and other issues in your life.

[@carbar3936]

Exactly pre-Control album. Always looked nervous like scared she'd say and do the wrong thing kind of vibe. I also remember James saying when they lived in the home he called it house of horrors during MJ's 1st allegations issues but never stated why he felt that way. Why he didn't elaborate? IDK Given how his life was growing up and despite being his dad's favorite, he know horror when he sees it. SMH

[@InMyOwnOpinion-l6i]

I dont know why you think that Janet should have mentioned Bobby Brown's name .....she never acknowledged him as someone that she loved or had a relationship with at some point in her life! He took it upon himself to put that in his movie & book! The guys that she mentioned in her documentary were people that she actually loved & had relationships with.....so whatever went on between her & Bobby, alledgedly, obviously had nothin to do with love, for her, cause she never considered herself in a relationship with him, and evidently never planned to take anything to another level. During those years, the late 80s, Bobby was a "player"...that got played! Janet was with Rene'.....and if something truly was going on between her & Bobby, as he alledges, well then, obviously he had some fiyah --------, and that is all it was! So no, she didn't need to mention him.....and I'm glad she didn't. She never claimed him.....nor anything he alledged. It is what it is......back up off my girl with that!

[@playkma]

You are so right I believe that in her mind, they were not in a relationship. I think she would have mentioned it. In fact, she never talks about him. To be honest, he probably wasn't in love with her either. They were probably just messing around. During that time, he was supposedly dating Karyn White too...but conveniently didn't mention her in the movie.

She said that she had heard that rumor and that the removing of the rib was not true...She didn't touch on her ex-husband Wissam or the baby too much because of a court order that he does not want their son being photographed and also in the UK that's a no-no for children to be photographed unless the family is okay with it. Wissam is even more private than Janet, so a lot of things that Janet was private about, Wissam is even more private.

Exactly... Saving All My Love was supposed to be about Jermaine

[@lesthebest3171]

We will never hear the truth from the Jackson siblings including Janet, about their lives, as long as their Mother is still alive. They were raised as Jehovah Witnesses and their respect for their parents remain strong. They will never reveal the truth about their lives until Mother Jackson passes and hopefully that will not be soon. I personally believe Janet, Michael and Jermaine all converted to Islam but won’t reveal it as long as Katherine is alive. Note how covered Janet appears lately. And yes the Jackson’s do have a type and that is anyone who looks like a DeBarge (light, bright and damn near white), I don’t care if Bobby Brown or Jermaine DuPri says otherwise. And I noted in the documentary everyone including Janet quick to say that Janet didn’t have a DeBarge baby, but notice they never admitted she wasn’t pregnant and had an abortion instead. Mama DeBarge, who had 10 children, says she knows when a woman is pregnant and that Janet certainly was. Now if she was pregnant what happened to the baby. Debbie Allen says if she had a baby when Janet was on the set of FAME, where is the Child. Well it was aborted thats why. And don’t forget Mama Jackson is still a practicing Jehovah Witness and too old and sickly for Janet to ever reveal the truth to either her or the public, while the mother is still alive. So for right now the Jackson siblings will not be revealing their most intimate secrets in public. and in the immortal words of their most famous sibling MJ, they have every intention to KEEP IT IN THE CLOSET. No matter how many documentary they put out. And you can bet, the siblings that were not interviewed, LaToya and Jermaine, are just dying to put one out of their own, soon!

[@rosebuddraper2666]

I remember when I used to read WORD UP, and all the other black teen magazines, it was reported that Janet had a baby girl. I've had several debates with folk that remember reading the article and those who said I was lying. At the end of the day it's her business but don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining Miss Jackson 👀

[@lisacox3750]

I said the exact same thing. Out of respect for their mother - we are never going to get the whole truth. The skeletons are going to start popping out one by one when she passes. I'm telling you. There will be bombshells. By the way...none of their religious believes are secret. It is public knowledge that Jermaine is in the Nation of Islam. He has been for many years. Katherine knows all of that. Her kids left the Jehovah's Witness many many years ago. The only one who stayed was Rebbie. Katherine knows. It doesn't mean it doesn't bother her.

[@SoRealBeauty]

I never thought about that, an abortion...but my auntie [ who knows the debarges well] will swear its a baby girl [woman] somewhere.

[@fidelnenas8390]

You personally believing that Jermaine, Michael and Janet converted to Islam is a no brainer. Jermaine married a Muslim woman and Janet’s last husband was also Muslim. (The family was taping a show around the time Michael died that showed Jermaine in his Muslim clothes when he was at home)Their mother is not senile so she is aware that her children converted to their spouse’s faith. If Michael converted it was for business purposes. So what is there exactly that needs to be revealed? Janet I’m sure has an agreement with her ex husband to raise their son in the Muslim faith hence she as a practicing Muslim must shield her body in public.

[@lesthebest3171]

@Fidel Nenas I agree, but we can make all the assumptions we want, but until Janet and her siblings dare say it in public, they don’t want their fans to know.

[@christopherjordan3924]

I have seen the documentary in it's entirety, but I thought its clear that Micheal's and Joe's death had not bought them closer. Rebbie was featured and came across as a dotting mom, and only Tito and Randy were featured. But perhaps its just nature to have closer bonds with some of your siblings and not necessarily all of them. In any case, she has established herself as an accomplished artist in her own right.

Well per Mark DeBarge Janet and James, the very first meeting was over the phone when she was 14. Bobby was at the Jackson mansion he called his family in Michigan. Bobby put Janet on the phone so she could say hi to his brothers. We know Janet and James had a connection because they started talking on the phone after that. Also that girl must still love James because she was crying like she knocked pills out of his hands this morning. They've been divorced over 30 years and she is still crying about him lying to her, that is what drug addicts do Janet. It was interesting that Janet wasn't crying over Renee's drug habit, just James. But Renee did sue her after the divorce, and it looks like James just walked away. He didn't fight for any financial settlement. Thanks, Nay because of your reviews of this documentary, Jackson Family Values, and LaToya's book we are able to piece together a lot of tea.

Latoya said that Jo molested her and the other girls. The rumor about the baby was not unfounded. She should have stated if she gave the child up for adoption or had an abortion. The documentary was still secretive. Like why was it even done 🤔

Rene was filming for some reason😒. Had no idea about Bobby. Janet is a sweet humble person. You can tell that. Sorry she's having the same troubles as us girls with these menfolk. Lots of predators out there. If the Debarge's have beef, it's with the person who left them to keep being victimized over and over again by a sicko. Those kids went through hell. It took a minute before Joe got his props. Sometimes we don't appreciate the sacrifices our parents make until later. She's right Joe did his best. Also he didn't leave his kids in the hands of a bunch of pedophiles (like a lot of showbiz parents did). I was going overseas to Korea. It was the mid 1980's. I had a surreal moment. I was sitting in the back concourse of an airport in Cali. I saw a small entourage come through. It was the Jackson's with a few of their road crew or security. I saw "Victory" on the crew's t-shirts.They were wearing the costumes Momma Jackson made. It was only 3 of the Jackson boys. Michael wasn't with them. I was too dumbstruck or it didn't register. I kept thinking to myself, " That can't be?" I never got up, they were in a hurry. I'm not like that anyway (too shy or uncomfortable).
