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

This bimbette surely had to have been shaken one too many times as a baby.
lol @ Trisha.. I know right!!!......What???! lolol
lol @ trish!! I know, really what does that sentence even say??? lololol
You mean that this semi-talented bimbo is just seeking attention and publicity again ... Right?
She can haz pages.
Dave, you are one big idiot!!!
if the kids have "nothing" then that is their "Fathers" for not properly providing for them in a Will

mona, I think Latoya is referring to the fact they're parentless. I, for one, think the 3 kids are finally living a somewhat "normal" life. They don't have to wear masks and all the other paranoia behavior their "father" suffered from. Michael Jackson was sick as in mentally ill. I'm sure they have been well provided for, financially.
If you think Michael's kids are penniless THINK AGAIN
I am sure that LaToyas mother must be thrilled to have her daughter make such a statement. LaToya Jackson has been and always will be a no talent offspring of an evil father and I wish she would just keep her mouth closed and go away. She says stupid things just to stay in the public eye and no one really gives a tinker damn about her.
I would like to add my thoughts to this discussion. Many artists who are not "business" people or who are busily doing what they do best get taken advantage of financially. I am certainly don't know what really went on but it wouldn't surprise me if others didn't take advantage of him. (Personally, I think his dad may have had some contribution to this but it's only my opinion.)
In terms of his children wearing masks, my opinion has always been that they wore the masks when they were out with him so that when they weren't out with him they could live normally. Can you imagine the kids going to a amusement park and the circus it would have been for them? The fact that no one knew what they looked like allowed them to do things like that and no one knew who they were. It had to give them a little bit of normalcy.
Actually, MJ owed millions of dollars because of his extragant, introverted lifestyle. Look at his estate. Look at his legal expenses, the lawsuits, etc. That is why he decided to do a tour. He needed to bail himself out. There probably was nothing left from the estate because of the bloodsucking lawyers.
.....yawnnnnn....Would someone please tell her that her "15 minutes" is over and the clock stopped.....she should also watch what she accuses people of....she may end up in a slander/libel lawsuit that she can't possibly win.

I believe her when she says Michael was murdered, but every time she shows up in the press and opens her stupid mouth, I can't help thinking the wrong Jackson died that day.
To murder someone doesnt seem too much for someone who doesnt want you around! They had made up stories about Poor-ol'Mike, first he rapes and then what???? so seeing that their scheme doesnt work, the had to find a way to take him away, murdering the poor boy seems like an option............am not saying they did, but they might have! afterall what explanation do they have for the change of concert plans????
Hope the kids are fine!
Her brother was killed, and she just wants justice. I was a huge fan of Michael and I do believe he was killed by his doctor.
15 mins? she has been famous for decades lol
Tell her her 15 minbutes are over??? Wait just a damned minuyte here, Mike. Would you accept someone telling YOU that if this were someone in YOUR family and you had the same questions? Is there something seriously wrong with you or what? I have a fair number of questions myself about this whole case, and if you think it's okay to just tell her to give it up because it doesn't concern YOU, then you need a serious reality jolt.
I have the book. I want to read it when I have a chance.
Yeah, I do believe that Michael was intentionally killed.
La Toya, do not give up on solving the mystery of your brother's death.

Wow, that brings her total book sales to four... you, Latoya, LaToya and Latoya.
