Michael/Joe Jackson's Controversial Relationship (Week 5)


As most of us know, the relationship between Michael Jackson and his father Joe Jackson is definitely not the closest. Michael has become more and more open about the abusive relationship, telling his fans how he used to be beaten if he failed to succeed in his father's eyes. What does Joe have to say about this? For some reason, he's proud of his wrongdoings. He tell's CNN's Kate McClaughlin, "I'm glad I was tough, because look what I came out with. I came out with some kids that everybody loved all over the world. And they treated everybody right." Joe doesn't realize the permanent damage that he's done to Michael Jackson's life. Many believe this is why he grew up to become a "troubled adult." Michael Jackson was childlike, not childish. He cherished the innocence and freedom of children at an age later than most, because he was not able to do so during his own childhood. Some people believe what Joe has done to Michael and his brother's is acceptable. Others, (including myself, obviously) agree that Joe should feel remorse and suffer some type of repercussions even to this day. What do you think? Comment below!
