No “Dancing” for LaToya
Turns out LaToya Jackson won’t be competing on “Dancing with the Stars” after all. Reports surfaced earlier this week that LaToya, along with brother Jermaine, were in talks to join the competitive dancing show, but she nixed the speculation today, saying the timing just isn’t right.
According to MSNBC, LaToya says that she can’t devote herself to the show considering how soon it is to Michael’s death and the fact his death investigation is still ongoing…But if that’s the case, why did she even start talking to the producers at all? Was this just a publicity stunt?
La Toya Jackson won’t be putting on her dancing shoes this season.
“I’ve been approached to do ‘Dancing With the Stars’” Jackson told Access Hollywood’s Tony Potts exclusively on Thursday. “The fact of the matter is, I won’t be doing it, simply because of the circumstances that (are) going on at the moment.”
The singer, who was three years older than her late brother, Michael Jackson, who passed away on June 25 at the age of 50, said she can’t even think of joining “Dancing” while so many questions remain unanswered regarding her brother’s death.
