Joe Denies Formation of “Jackson 3″
In an interview with Larry King, Michael Jackson’s father Joe Jackson denies the allegations that he has plans to form the “Jackson 3″ – calling the rumors “a bunch of jive”. He also vehemently denies the accusations that he beat Michael when he was a child.
Responding to the abuse claim, Joe Jackson said, “That’s a bunch of bull-s….I raised him just like you would raise your kids, you know? But harm Michael, for what? I have no reason. That’s my son. I loved him and I still love him.” (source)
Here is a short clip from his interview with Larry King. Joe is practically interrupting Larry just to get his empty words out. I’m not convinced by his claims that he was a good father. And why on earth is he dragging slavery into this?? What does that have to do with beating your child? Obviously he’s just trying to distract and get himself off the hot seat.
