So what if he is requesting money. If it wasn’t for him there would be no Jackson 5 and, no Micheal Jackson! He was the late MJ’s father and, he is the head of his house hold, the back bone of his family. Why not? He derserves every penny of what his blood son had. MJ’s money should go to his family. Not outsiders….

After Michael became a father himself, he better understood and forgave his father. If you go to YouTube and search for his 2001 speech at Oxford University, you will hear Michael in his own words. If he could forgive his father, why can’t you? Also, in his book Moonwalk, Michael praises his father for making sure that his children had money after their childhood performing days were over and he no longer had control of their assets. “My father did always protect us. He looked after our interests in the best ways. …I’d say we were among a fortunate few artists who walked away from a childhood in the business with anything substantial — money, real estate, other investments. …Imagine stealing from from your own children. My father never did anything like that.” (pg. 17) Which of us would not help our parents if we had the income like Michael had? Michael knew that his mother would share with his father as she had always done. His father does not deserve all the negativity that he is being shown. Let’s not do to Mr. Jackson what was done to Michael through unkind words. Let’s stay out of the Jackson family business. Would you want everyone in your business?

This low-life and the Rev. Al Sharpton were already jockeying for money less than two days after Michael Jackson passed on. I’m not a Micahel Jackson fan but agreed with him about his father being contemptable enough to make people (including Michael) physically ill.

Considered what kind of scumbag Joe Jackson is, Michael Jackson has turned out really well. After cheating on his wife, having sex with other women in the hearing of his sons, physically and verbally abusing Michael to a point of destroying his son’s self-esteem, promoting his own record label a few days after his son’s death, how dare Joe Jackson ask for $15,000 a month from Michael’s estate?! He is absolutely shameless and is a big disgrace to all mankind! He has 8 other children who are living, plus that one other daughter who he fathered outside of his marriage — why can’t they take care of him? Michael left him out of the will for a reason!

Can’t believe the Joe Jackson hating going on. After all if it were not for him, we would not have had Michael. Really, think about it, and stop judging, because you really don’t know. If there was abuse, we really don’t know to what extent, and if it was whippings, a lot of kids, need their asses beat today. Joe deserves to have something, without him, there would have not been a Michael Jackson or Jackson Five. I can’t understand the disdain here for Joe, please, put yourself in his place. The people around Michael, were not looking out for him, at all, they were all takers. People all over the place want more than what they’ve earned, and will do whatever to get it, even at someone else’s expense. Today, it’s the American way. The Jackson family has worked very hard, maybe Michael harder than the rest of them, but remember he didn’t get there, without Joe Jackson!! Stop the Hatin, it’s ugly!!

Michael Jackson specifically left NOTHING to his father in his will. A reason for a will is for your wishes to be honored. I* wouldn’t leave that slime a dime!

What part of “no” doesn’t this old buzzard understand? The will says ‘no money’ and that’s it. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

Do not forget that they have to have security around them 24\7 that costs, and that they have been in the house for ages…they own that property. The mother and the Kids deserve what MICHAEL WANTED FOR THEM..NOT what YOU think…They are entitled to live the lifestyle that MICHAEL WANTED THEM TO LIVE. AS far as the Father he should honor the will. Make his own money.
