The aftermath of the documentary “Leaving Neverland,” shedding light on Michael Jackson’s alleged s**ual misconduct towards children, has brought the late King of Pop back into the public eye.
Numerous individuals, including former acquaintances, colleagues, and purported victims of Michael Jackson, have stepped forward in recent times to recount their experiences and viewpoints on the distressing revelations presented in the documentary.
LaToya Jackson, Michael Jackson’s sister, resurfaced in an interview this month where she made damning allegations against her brother, accusing him of committing “crimes against innocent children.”
Expressing her conflicted emotions, LaToya stated, “Michael is my brother, and I cherish him deeply.
However, I refuse to stay silent about his transgressions against vulnerable children.”
These statements were disclosed during an interview with MTV back in 1993.
In a renewed revelation, LaToya Jackson has revisited a past report where she accused her father, Joe Jackson, of subjecting her to childhood s**ual abuse.
In her memoir titled “Growing Up In The Jackson Family,” published in 1991, the now 62-year-old LaToya recounted the traumatic experiences of being s**ually abused by her father during her formative years, leading to her departure from the family home at the tender age of 16.
Recalling the harrowing encounters, she vividly described scenarios where her mother attempted to protect her from the advances of her father, Joe Jackson, illustrating a distressing and unsettling familial dynamic.
During a talk show appearance to promote her memoir, LaToya elaborated on the extent of the abuse, highlighting the physical, mental, and s**ual torment she endured, instilling fear and shame within her.
The cycle of abuse within the Jackson family appeared to extend beyond LaToya, as evident in accounts of Joe Jackson’s physical maltreatment towards his children, a fact widely acknowledged and substantiated over the years.
Michael Jackson, in a candid conversation with Oprah Winfrey in 1993, disclosed the intense fear he experienced when around his father, recounting instances of physical discipline that bordered on brutality during his childhood.
Posthumously, recorded dialogues between Michael Jackson and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach in 2009 revealed the traumatic memories of his father’s harsh discipline, leaving lasting emotional scars on the renowned entertainer.
Before his demise in 2018, at the age of 89, Joe Jackson admitted to the physical abuse inflicted upon his sons, further underscoring the troubled and tumultuous dynamics prevalent within the Jackson family.
