La Toya Jackson: Michael Was Murdered ... His Kids Have 'Nothing'

By Nicki Gostin Posted Jun 29th 2011 09:00PM

La Toya Jackson is convinced her brother Michael was murdered. From the bottom of her heart, murdered. And she knows who did it. The second half of Jackson's memoir, 'Starting Over,' deals with her gradual reconciliation with her famous family, specifically Michael. The outspoken singer-actress pulled no punches when PopEater caught up with her to discuss her controversial theories about the King of Pop's death and her belief that Dr. Conrad Murray was just a "fall guy" in an insidious conspiracy to kill. Why? To attain the bottomless pot of gold that is MJ's song catalog. And who told her this was going to happen? Michael. She tells us she's fighting this fight, even if it's unpopular within her family, because she wants what's best for Michael's three orphans. "Michael always used to say, 'La Toya I want to leave everything to my kids,' and here they have absolutely nothing," she said.

You think Michael was murdered.
Yes, I do. I believe that from the bottom of my heart. The people that he told me were going to murder him are behind his murder. They know that. They know who they are. They're controlling his estate now.

(Two people control Michael's estate, executors John Branca and John McClain.)

You believe it was over his publishing catalog.
That's what he told me. Within a week of his death people he had eradicated from his life completely, came in lurking, asking questions about the catalog, speaking to the attorney who controls the catalog. My brother Michael was clean (when he died), he had no drugs in his system, he was leading a good life. He was unhappy with the way people were treating him. The coroner said there was nothing in him except for the propofol which was pumped in his body and it was enough to kill an elephant.

Dr. Murray was simply the fall guy, there were people behind it. It was a conspiracy and they know that. I want to have a one-on-one with Dr. Murray. I would love to sit down and talk with him.

You say the English tour was fishy.
First of all he told me he never would do a tour again because he said they would assassinate him if he was on stage. He finally agreed to ten shows which he didn't want to do but he agreed and he wakes up overnight and there's 50 shows and they told him he had to do them. They knew he wasn't capable of them, they knew he wasn't healthy enough. He had a kidney problem, he was extremely thin, he was always freezing. They knew what they were doing. This isn't what I'm thinking, these are facts.

How does your family feel about you saying this?
When you lose a loved one, everybody is so hurt and there were some that said, 'Oh he's dead, let it be and move on,' but no, I need to find out what happened. My mother and father have always been for me and on my side and telling me they're so proud of me, to keep fighting. I love that, it gives me the tenacity to keep fighting and for his children. Michael always used to say, 'La Toya I want to leave everything to my kids,' and here they have absolutely nothing.

How are his children doing?
They're doing very well thank you. I'm very proud of them. It was my mother's decision to unmask them. She felt like she wanted them to be normal. However I understand why Michael did it. He wanted his kids to have the freedom to go out and not be recognized when they weren't with him.

The first half of La Toya's 'Starting Over' deals with her nightmare marriage/union with Jack Gordon. Read my discussion with her here.

I truly understand LaToya, my brother was murdered by his wife in ,she over medicated him because she needed money, however i am writing a book even as i speak regarding this matter. My brother was not a celebrity like Michael whom i loved and was a fan. Justice and closure is what my family is looking for. At least they are going to trial. My brother Willie not so much, it's supposedly under investigation, however the detective told me last week, that even though she finally admitted she did it . they are going on the fact that with cancer he was probably going to die anyway. So We all are going to die eventually.

I am sorry to hear about what your family is going through! I don't like the fact that the police may not do anything just because your brother had cancer, I mean who are they to say that he was going to die anyway? They don't know what would have happened, he could have survived it and lived a long life, but now you guys will never know because his cold hearted wife took his life!

By ruta

MURDER, she wrote...!

Najla....do you believe for one minute that if someone is murdered, the fact that they had a terminal disease makes a difference? No it does not. Charges would still be filed, arrests would be made... if there were evidence to support it. It just does not make sense and I remain highly skeptical of her story.

By kev

One of the problems with her story, is that michael was a hard core drug user (sorry to say). When people use a lot of drugs, it affects their brain. It makes them delusional and paranoid. I'm not sure anyone could go by what michael said.

By gposner29

your family is looking for money and revenge not "justice and closure." Call a spade "a spade" and stop with the transparent political correctness.

By Sonja42

WHAT?? You are stating even thou the wife admitted overdosing your brother which killed him, the detectives told you, basically can't do anything as he was going to die anyway with cancer, if this is true, THAT IS BULL. MURDER IS MURDER REGARDLESS OF WHEN A PERSON IS OR MIGHT DIE. If that was stated to you, I hope you have a recording of it as the detectives are in DEEP CRAP if they said that.

It is still illegal, that is why Kavorkian went to prison.

La wack job!! I've been in the music business for over 35 years and know some people that know her personally. She first of all has NO talent whatsoever. She is trying to cash in on her late brothers fame. His children will be we'll takin care of through his publishing catalog and his estate is making more money now than ever simply because he can't spend it. DON'T BELIEVE A WORD FROM THIS WACK JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT GOES TO SHOW HOW THIS WORLD IS NOW A DAYS. THERE IS NO REAL LAW. BUT IF THE POLICE WERE ON YOUR END, WOULD THEY STILL SAY HE WOULD OF DIED ANYWAYS..!!WOULD IF IT WAS ONE OF THEIR BROTHERS, SONS OR FAMILY MEMBERS. WOULD THEY STILL FEEL THAT WAY? I DON'T THINK SO, BUT PEOPLE NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE IF IT ISN'T HAPPENING TO THEM, THEY DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO FIND PEACE AND IF THAT IS JUSTICE THEN CONTINUE THE FIGHT!!

Oh Hattie you are so full of it I swear some have no idea where do they get the brains to even think to get on here this page.First of all if this is true you wouldn't be talking about your brother if a case is pending as you say it is,then why on earth would you be adding to the flame about your brother...If anything an attorney of your brother would tell the family members not to discuss this as you are,if in fact your story is true.It wouldn't be hard to investigate and research you or your story to see if it exist.I am sure TMZ is on it as we speak.Take your medication go lay down and call your doctor in the morning if your still not feeling well.OKAY geez

Friday 08 July

Hattie your story doesn't make any sense.The DA cannot do that in any state.I do not believe your story you have my email send me the link of the paper your brother is in for his death.Then I just might believe you.You see dying of cancer or not if she poisoned him they would still bring her up on charges.Latoynut is always trying to get fame.AS for MJackson he is a sex petifile molester and I believe this til I die.Was there room for forgiveness yes we must always forgive but he still should not been a loud to buy his way out of this...
