Joe Jackson Blames Katherine Jackson for Michael's Death

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 14th 2010 06:40AM

In an interview with News of the World, Joe Jackson blames his estranged wife Katherine for the death of their son, Michael Jackson.

Joe explained that he told Katherine that Michael was "looking kinda funny and frail" and wanted her to help him, but she refused.

"She didn't want to do that because she was afraid she was invading his privacy," he claims.

He added that, after the King of Pop's tragic death, he admonished Katherine. "I said this would have never happened if you had went and been with him."

Meanwhile, Katherine's lawyers are firing back.

"The world knows that Mrs. Jackson has always been a loving mother and grandmother, and that she and Michael had a very special relationship," her lawyer, Adam Streisand, tells TMZ, adding, "The world also knows who Joe Jackson is and he seems bent on never letting us forget."

Howard Weitzman, a lawyer for the Jackson estate, also defended Michael's mother. "The inference by Joe Jackson that Mrs. Jackson was in any way responsible for Michael's death is preposterous. Katherine Jackson was a supportive and loving mother throughout Michael's life. His love and respect for her is reflected in his estate plan." (Joe Jackson was left out of his son's will.)

ENABLING JACKSONS....ENABLING JACKSONS.....THE WORST FATHER OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TO JOE JACKSON....AND BY THE WAY WHY HAVEN'T MEMBERS OF THE JACKSON FAMILY BEEN ACCUSED AS "PERSONS OF INTEREST" IN THE DEATH OF MICHAEL JACKSON....When you continuously support and encourage the Addictions of a person so that you can stay in their good graces or stay on their payroll, you are not only an Enabler you should be considered a person of interest in their Death. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL.

Is there no debth to which this miserable SOB can sink?

You know I really wish he would stop acting like he gives a damn. This is only a stunt to try to make himself relevant. If anything, Michael's death could be attributed to his horrible childhood that messed him up in the head (caused by Joe). He's mad because he didn't get any money and no one cares to referrence him. It takes a sick man to keep dredging his own late son through the media constantly. For goodness sake, let the man rest for once!

LOVING MOTHER?? She's the same loving mother who publicly called her son a F**G*T!! A whole lotta love goin' on there, uh-huh.
These people are so caught up in their little wonder-worlds of past glory and need-for-greed that they have no idea they are THE poster family for Dysfunction in America.

If Jackson was determined to take drugs that killed him,no person was going to stop him.He was a rich and powerful man and if one source refuses him,he goes on until he finds another one.Adrug addict will do anything to get their fix and no one can stop them.

Ewww, Jada Pickett Smith is hideous looking. I'll never know what Will sees in her. She acts ghetto, looks like a man, she's flat chested and has a body like a 12 yr old boy. And her attitude is the pitts.

Gee, Joe, if you had been the kind of father you should have been maybe this wouldn't have happened. If your own son didn't despise you like he did, maybe YOU could have gone over to 'be with him'. When are you going to man up and stop blaming others for your failures as a father and a human being. Do you really blame Katherine? Or is this just your way of keeping your name in the news? People are tired of you, Joe. Go crawl back under your rock.

Bella, I couldn't have said it better.

Bella - you are exactly right. Joe Jackson is an idiot who likes to place blame on everyone else instead of the real problem - himself. He was never a "father" to any of his children. He looked at them as "moneymakers" to make himself rich, he didn't care about them at all. I don't understand why he is still around to say anything. If anyone should be dead it should be him.

By Irish

Amen.

By Patricia Scruggs

Bella you're exactly right. He's acting this way to draw attention to himself because nobody is giving him any.

By Marie

Perfect Bella! Very well said!!!!

By Ed

U know U R right. The SOB treated his kids like shyt. Remember his request for his living expenses from Michael's estate. Damn SLOB of the CENTURY.

By guinevere

Joe Jackson is just trying to keep himself in the limelight..perhaps he should spend his time reflectiong on all the bad things he did in regards to MJ growing up.... instead of blaming others, he needs to realizes what he did and take some of the blame himself

By themeeker

What a terrible man. Is he even capable of taking any responsibility for what are obviously his misdeeds? Just a total creep.
