LaToya Jackson, the sister of the late Michael Jackson, has come forward with shocking allegations against their father, Joe Jackson, claiming that he s**ually abused her when she was just 11 years old.
Joe Jackson, who passed away in 2018, was known for his abusive behavior towards his ten children.
However, LaToya has now revealed that the abuse she suffered at his hands went beyond physical violence.

Recalling the traumatic events, LaToya wrote about the disturbing moments when her mother pleaded with Joe to leave her alone, emphasizing the psychological torment she endured as a child.
According to LaToya, the abuse escalated after her older sister, Rebbie Jackson, moved out of the family home at the age of 16.
This marked a turning point where Joe’s predatory actions targeted LaToya more intensely.
During an interview on Live With Regis And Kathie Lee to promote her book, LaToya reiterated the accusations against her father, shedding light on the mental and s**ual abuse she allegedly suffered.

Addressing concerns about other family members falling victim to Joe’s abuse, LaToya expressed uncertainty about her sister Janet Jackson’s experiences, hoping that she had not endured similar horrors.
In addition to exposing her father’s actions, LaToya’s memoir also delved into allegations against her mother, Katherine Jackson, regarding her knowledge of Michael Jackson’s alleged misconduct with young boys.
In a televised interview, LaToya disclosed details about cheques made out to the parents of young boys, implicating her mother in the scandal and accusing her of turning a blind eye to the situation.
Reflecting on her mother’s reactions and statements, LaToya revealed the conflicting emotions she experienced, expressing her disappointment and pain over the denial of past events.
Furthermore, LaToya shared insights into Michael Jackson’s controversial relationships with young boys, raising concerns about his behavior and shedding light on the troubling dynamics within the family.
