La Toya: Michael Wouldn't Like 'This' Film

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 14th 2009 07:11AM

La Toya Jackson says her late brother Michael wouldn't be pleased with the 'This Is It' documentary being released later this month, which shows footage of his final days and rehearsals. Talking with Access Hollywood, La Toya says that because it was a rehearsal, Michael "wasn't giving it his all," and because of that, he wouldn't want people to see the performances in 'This.'

"He loves to give his all always. That's just the way he is," Jackson said in the interview. "He wants people to see him at the top of the ladder and not half-stepping because he doesn't want to do a full-out rehearsal."

La Toya also spoke out about the newly released Jackson single 'This Is It.' She says "it's wonderful to hear something from him because he hasn't had anything out in awhile."

The release of the single was a welcome treat for all Michael Jackson fans, but much of the buzz quickly turned to the fact that it was actually an older song that was rebuilt to be released now.

Despite her qualms with the impending documentary, La Toya says she'll stand by the film.

"I will support my brother in any way I can ... I love him," she said.

La Toya is Right!!! These people are exploiting Micheal's Fame as the Greatest to further their own Financial Gain in Micheal's name as a last ditch effort to Capitalize and Cash in using Micheal's notability for their OWN Personal Riches.

My reply to the poster below my response:

You are 100% right. Everyone is trying to make money from Michael and Michael's death BUT Latoya is and always has been one to do the exact same thing for years to Michael, her own brother, by relentlessly giving interviews trashing her brother, and any opportunity she could and still can get her face in the paper oe television, There's Latoya again and you better believe she makes top dollar each time, yet she pretends to act concerned over everyone else trying to make money off of Michael. She is a huge hypocrite! I cannot stand her. She is the ONLY one of the siblings out there talking about her brother just to make money from it. You do not see the other siblings doing that. Latoya is all about money and getting her face on T.V. So it's not just the media.

HEY LATOYA IF YOU'RE SEEING THIS --ARE YOU THE SAME SIBLING THAT WASN'T DEFENDING YOUR OWN BROTHER DURING HIS TRIAL AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU WILL SUPPORT YOUR BROTHER IN ANY WAY YOU CAN NOW THAT HE'S GONE? STOP TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF YOUR BROTHER'S NAME BY TALKING WITH SHOWS SUCH AS ACCESS HOLLYWOOD OR ANY OTHERS. PEOPLE MIGHT RESPECT YOU MORE IF YOU JUST KEPT YOUR MOUTH SHUT. AND YES, HIS FANS DO WANT TO SEE HIM DURING REHEARSALS. WE WANT TO SEE HOW HE WORKED AND MADE HIMSELF THE ICON THAT HE WAS. WE ALL KNOW HIS PERFORMANCES WERE PERFECT AND RAZOR SHARP, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO SEE HIM REHEARSING. THAT'S WHAT MADE HIM HUMAN. NOW WHY NOT JUST KEEP QUIET AND STOP LOOKING LIKE SUCH A HYPOCRITE.
REST IN PEACE MICHAEL, AND GOD BLESS YOUR CHILDREN AND THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO GENUINELY LOVED YOU.

Latoya was the only Jackson that was REAL!! Everyone else protected him.. They all knew he had the drug thing going on but they all hid it.. He was too powerful and had his people protecting him from his family.. All of them have stated that they tried to help with his drug addiction. He even went to Dr. Sabi the same guy Left Eye went to to get help.. I dont believe he was a child molester BUT!! I do think that it is possible that maybe something coulda went down with him and some of those kids.. If you know anyone who is an alcoholic or a drug addict you know that while under the influence they are capable of doing ANYTHING.. Even if it isnt in their charecter normally a drug or a drink can make you do some sick and off the wall things. I dont know if any of you all have struggled with alcholism or Drugs but I HAVE.. I know first hand what that is like to be out of your mind and do things to hurt others without knowing or even meaning to. Latoya may have been telling the truth from what she saw. We all have to remember she was the closest to Michael and there is nobody that knows us better than a parent or a sibling.. None of us knew him personally so it is really hard to talk about a man that none of us know personally. I have dated entertainers and I mus tell you that..Many of them are great talents but are CRAZY AS HELL! Alot of them have mental issues, drug and drinking habits etc.. As those of us on the outside looking in.. we dont realize they stress these people are put under and why they are the way they are.. So yall need to get off of Latoya because maybe if we had let her speak and listen to some of the hidden truth that Michael would be alive today..

May the good Lord bless you with a long HAPPY LIFE ,as well as the world's BELOVED Jacksons!!! I love the Jackson family, God go with each and every one of them!!!!!!!!R.I.P. King Of Pop,, I cry EVERYDAY!!!!!!

By Wish Belkin

Notice, she speaks of him in the present tense?
Is this the same sister who was cheap shotting him during his trial?

Monday 19 October

To Wish Belkin

Yes, she is the same one, King Michael's SISTER!!
The same one who SUPPORTED HER FAMOUS,WRONGLY ACCUSED BROTHER!!! Didn't you see the photo of King Michael and Latoya, and Janet when they entered the courthouse dressed in all white? They looked FANTASTIC, like three ANGELS!!! The Jacksons are family and ALWAYS WILL BE!!!!!!!

By Tina M.M

The thing about this to me is "TWO"days later he's gone!! So yeah, alot of his fans are goin to want to see this..This is one of the most Devestating deaths here..

By adamp

SOMETIMES I THINK HE IS STILL ALIVE IN RECOVERY SOMEWHERE!! WHY HASN,T THE DR. BEEN CHARGED YET?? I REST MY CASE!! THIS IS IT , JUST MIGHT BE A HOAX!! PUBLICITY STUNT!!

By neice

maybe in hiding with elvis

Whether Michael Jackson is rehearsing or live in concert, he is perrfection at its greatest and I am sure that all of those who love him and all of his fans will enjoy this film even if it is Michael onl;y rehearsing.
I'm not saying in her own strange way Latoya does not love her brother but, boy is she ever strange and so hungry for the spotlight no matter at what cost.
Latoya needs to live her own life and stop trying to continue as always to give interviews to make more money off of her dead brother. It truly saddens me. I miss Michael to death and still can't get over his passing. I also do not understand why that damned Dr. has not been arrested yet. Even if Michael was an addict, he still had/has my utmost respect for all of the good he has done and he will forevermore live in my heart. It's just so sad how the vultures come out to make money from his death. Even in death the poor man can't be left alone. God bless his soul and his childrens also. I miss him dearly.

By Chrissy

I figured he wouldn't like it.He was a perfectionist.:(

By Barbie

Does this ditzy woman even know her brother has died ? She talks about him like he is still alive, she doesn't use terms that would indicate that he has died. I think shes in a fog and Michael is still alive. She talks in the present about him.

By salfa1154

latoya i disagree with you. micheal would want his fans to see this rehesal.like he said it's all about love.miss you micheal.

By jake

Is, Micheal actually dead? Ms. Jackson refers to him as though he is still alive. I have seen and read several comments by her and her family and the all refer to him this way.

By Subee

Notice that LaToya made no past reference to Michael...so, is Michael still alive??

By kathy

Michael looks like he was on top on his game,He is still the best musician ,dancer ever to exsist.NO ONE will ever be able to take that away from him.I think its great they are releasing this film.It really is good to see him even at his rehersal.LOL even at rehersal he is still perfect.So Latoya stop trying to use your brother for your own needs and personal gain..

By duh

Well, that's what you get for being a popular person in the spotlight. Of course I don't agree with exploitation, but what do you expect? If someone, himself, the manager realized it wasn't his best performances in rehearsal, then why did they allow anyone to film it. Let's move on to something else people MJ is old news. I mourn for his soul that is now burning forever.

Saturday 17 October

To duh,

You had better hope your yard is swept clean when the good Lord calls YOUR number!!! King Michael is a SAINT, now sitting beside Job, Abraham, and every other Saint, sitting at the right hand of God, Earth's rightful King !!! King Michael is now a MARTYR!!!! Glory be to God, maker of Heaven and Earth! You did not give King Michael life, a soul, neither his ENORMOUS talent. King Michael's soul does not answer to you or ANYONE on Earth. King Michael's music is "the light of the world", where have you been getting your false info from? King Michael's NOTHING is burning NOWHERE!!!! Guess again!!! King Michael has done ALOT more to HELP people in his lifetime (and in death due to charity) than you'll ever do in a DOZEN LIFETIMES!!!! Shut your fingers!!!! May your soul rest in eternal peace Mighty, Iconic Musical King Of Pop Michael Joseph Jackson!!!!! I'll always love and miss you!!!!!
