If my memory is correct, she was the first one to be disfellowshipped from Jehovah’s Witness because she spoke out against the abuse. I absolutely adore her. The fact that she is till alive is nothing short of a miracle. I’m glad she’s still with us, that her personality hasn’t changed
What is Latoya story today. She is 66yrs old. The ME TOO movement is real. She can get help. In the interview she did a lot of joking and laughing, I don't know what to think 🤔 about her story.
She was defellowshipped because she stopped attending meetings at the KH because her one best friend from school, also a JW, was defellowshipped for asking questions about the religion. Please stop lying, she said it in her book.
Yet she “did it” with her abusive husband Jack Gordon who beat her black and blue. She stayed with him despite not having any children to tie her down and she is judging her mother while she herself is in a much worse situation. It’s easy to judge others but she couldn’t leave Gordon for years.. he literally exploited her. It’s one DV victim judging another.
@@rays.3242 I seriously don’t believe her she played the Devil’s advocate bcs she was pushed Jack Gordon her abusive ass husband who admitted beating the shit out of her
That girl needs to remove that hijab on her head because she’s disrespecting our religion. We do NOT condone this behavior and thinking in Islam at all! She pissed me off the most.
I feel bad that when she tried to tell the truth she was treated like a quack and mocked. She ended up taking it back saying Jack Gordon scripted it for her which I don’t believe. Her story remained consistent throughout all these interviews and you can tell she is sincere when she speaks.
I don’t know how that story got spread. LaToya never recanted her story of sexual abuse. Never. She only recanted that Michael was a pedophile. Let’s be clear on this.
My thoughts exactly. Its unfortunate Latoya now feels she has to become a silent collaborator to the physical and sexual abused she know’s, has seen and become victim to with her Dad and Michael. The biggest credibility to leaving neverland is her 94 interview confirming Jimmy Safechuck getting cheques. Had her manager and husband of convenience Jack Gordon not been so brutal with her, I believe she wasn’t going to go against everything she said.
I’m todays world, Darcus Howe would be destroyed in the media for treating an obviously abused woman like a liar, and rightfully so. 30 years later so much has come out about the Jackson family that pretty much shows Latoya was telling the truth about her parents.
oh my God, I find it unbelievable how condescending she was treated, no wonder she took everything no one believed her, they should be ashamed, I feel so sad for her, she comes across as very credible and believe every word, she had narcissistic parents
Katherine is two-faced. The fact that Katherine only considered leaving and divorcing Joe when she found out he had another family, because her ego was hurt, sickens me. That's what did it? Seeing him beat the boys until they were blue in the face wasn't enough? Or seeing him light up matches on her children's toes while they were asleep? Or worst of all, seeing him sexually abuse their two daughters wasn't enough? The interviewer totally discounted Latoya saying she was sexually abused by her own father and he actually blames Latoya and has sympathy for Katherine! Just what she needed, more gaslighting. As if she hadn't already endured enough of it, by her supposed best friend, her own mother!
@@tias.6675 I don't know Katherine personally but I know how dysfunctional families operate coming from one myself. Over time, everything Latoya said in the 90s turned out to be true. Even back then, she had witnesses back up her claims like on the Jane Whitney show for example. She sadly received very little support from the public. It makes sense though. It was La Toya vs the Jackson family a.k.a. American music royalty. No one wanted the beautiful illusion of the carefully curated family image to be shattered. Myself included when I was younger. We want to have someone successful to look up to and believe in... It's sad but the mega fame and mega talent of MJ blinds people from looking at the full picture. If they took their rose-colored glasses off, his behavior and M.O. were quite alarming. But because fans are so fanatical they choose to make excuses for him instead of critically examining the situation for what it is. I hope the victims heal and I hope MJ himself healed before his passing in 09. It's tragic all around.
@@tias.6675 I have to agree with you there, All I have to say is that I'm glad that whatever happened between the Jackson family, is that they were able to reconcile before losing another family member. I love Latoya / MJ/ Jermaine / Rebbie ( The entire family honestly ) & no one can really say what happened behind closed doors. One thing I can say is that Latoya didn't have much of backbone, same thing with some of the other siblings ( In which you can't put a time frame on growth / strength ) Do you remember on The Jackson Family - American Dream. When Katherine first met Joe and they were dancing at a restaurant. Joe asked her something about her parents and Katherine said something to the effect of " My parents got divorced, and when I get married I'm not getting divorce " That was the mindset of alot of people back then. Honestly IMO I don't believe the sexual abuse about Joe, or the severity of it. I'd rather hope that Latoya was just lying ( Jack ) instead of it actually happening & if it did happen then it was wrong for Latoya to talk about Rebbie being " Raped " ( If that's true, in which I HOPE it's NOT. Then Latoya should've let Rebbie tell her story with being raped ) Now back to the whole " Backbone " thing. You know when parents are in a messy relationship knowing they don't need to be together but they want to say " For The Kids " don't realize how it's sending out the wrong message to their kids on what a good relationship should be about. I can see why Latoya was with Jack Gordon so many years, she was naïve, didn't have a voice for herself. Took after her parents way of a relationship It took her many years for her to stand up for herself ( I'm glad she has and still alive to get back to her family and on good terms ). Jack Gordon was like one of those dudes that pry on folks that are easy to control. I'm not saying all the blame has to be put on him, but it's something about knowing a person can control someone and make it hard for them to speak up for themselves and enjoy doing it. People are crazy for that. I know Jack and Joe could not stand each other, I know Joe regretted doing any kind of business. They got into a physical altercation and Joe knocked that ass out. I think Latoya was there when it happened. When Jack married Latoya , he went to Katherine & Joe saying " I finally got me a Jackson now " After Latoya left Jack for good, you can tell who was really the mastermind of it all ( Jack ), He kept talking to the press about Michael doing satanic rituals with Bubbles and other animals. I always say could you imagine if Latoya committed suicide while she was with Jack. Good lord he would have a FIELD DAY saying it was Joe / Janet / Michael / Katherine that killed her and he tried to save her. I can totally picture him saying that. Sorry for the long response, but I think this is one of the reasons why I could never be famous because sometimes things can be looked too deep into things. I just hope whoever is going through a similar situation as Latoya, or Katherine to learn from others experiences and make better decisions when possible. ( I had to add, you know after looking at these videos of Latoya, I swear if I closed my eyes and listen. If you asked me which family really went through this type of abuse between the Jackson's / Debarges. I would say Debarge so damn fast. People need to really look up the stuff they went through because the majority of the siblings have said the same thing , much worse. Because you know for a fact it's more than likely true )
@@j.h.8478 a lot of the MJ fans are very brainwashed but I see BEYOND someone’s name towards to public. I am able to read people and able to put two and two together. I done TONS of research and he seems innocent and not only, his “accusers” have been proven to be liars and gold diggers. You must haven’t done research maybe? I’ve always thought Katherine was two faced though. But MJ I could go on and on, on who I really thought he was but he did not know how to be himself to the public. I just think he did struggle with his sexuality a lot but a whole different conversation to get into. I use to be a HUGE R Kelly fan, now all I like is his music… I figured this stuff about R Kelly out before he was thrown in jail. I do not let these celebrities brainwash me, I don’t care how famous you are. But you have to be BIG on doing research and listen and looking at Michael and his talent and what he was interested in , in order to actually understand parts of him he was uncomfortable with showing. Therefore, I won’t waste time going back and forth with bare minimum. RESPECTFULLY :)
@@Tiripsroirraw you spoke nothing but facts… I don’t think MJ sexually abused those children but I do believe he had some things that other people would not have been able to understand but we have SOOOO much in common that I feel like he has to have some of the things. But I want to know how you feel about him :)
The only one who abused her was her ex husband psycho Jack Gordon. This book is trash and she was forced to say all this. Joseph never sexually abused her or Rebbie or anyone else. Thats pure rubbish. She feared for her life at that time because Gordon beat the heck out of her. You have to read her book "Startin Over" in which she explains all this.
Thanks for uploading this Iv wanted to see this for years💗Latoya should have got up and walked off that stage the disrespect towards her..she is feisty shes the only person in the whole Jackson clan with an honest bone in their body. She spoke out when nobody else did
@@ISAIDWHATISAID. she wasn’t lying. This is her telling the truth. Also, notice….no one in her family specifically addresses her sexual abuse or the physical abuse of Joseph. She has never said this didn’t happen. The only thing LaToya ever took back was that Michael was a pedophile. Everything else she has never recanted to this day.
Wow wow poor La Toya 💔 not only did she clearly go through an extremely abusive childhood but for the world to give her the cold shoulder and call her a liar?! She's right to call the audience out. She can love her family and call them out on what is clearly ethically wrong. She is also very comfortable stating her different opinions from Jack so I don't want to hear Jack forced her to say all these things. You can't fake the pain in her voice when she described these horrific things. I was surprised she said she believes deep down Joe is a good person. That lines up with what she said after her divorce from Jack about him. Katherine I can totally see being 2-faced. MJ is just heartbreaking. It makes me angry too. We were all rooting for him...
@@Tiripsroirraw I don't understand why they made her out to be some monster in all these interviews for doing Playboy. Other celebrities that did Playboy didn't face the wrath of the public like she did
@@tias.6675 she did express her doubts way before 1993 through Jack in 1991 according to a reputable newspaper. She also talked about her dilemma to Howard Stern privayely before the allegations broke out. Unlike the rest of the family she probably has least guilty conscience since she spoke out. Truly the hero of her family. Don't you find it weird it took her 10 years after 1993 to recant on Larry King Live in 2003? If that was my sibling I would tell the whole world as soon as I got away from that abusive relationship. She did many interviews after her divorce from Jack. I believe La Toya
Throughout all these years her stories never ever changed once …not once. So she was silenced by her family and her manager at the time exploited her. Poor Latoya
Everybody hated La Toya back then and disbelieve her. This guy disrespected her. Back then Michael or Janet were big and talented and she was bad and crazy while the truth was the opposite, I'm saying it now. La Toya was telling the truth. She also spoke the truth about Michael. Then they were able to shut her quiet.
wow she was so strong to sit there and continue her truth whilst the interviewer and the audience locked and quacked at her. That poor woman… I was getting so frustrated just why hearing the interviewer
Interesting that Latoya changed her tune about the MJ allegations after this and said that she believed them. I guess she was still conflicted at this point as to how far she would go.
La Toya Jackson, after her attempts to break free and establish her independence didn't succeed, ultimately chose to return to the family and even change her stories. The reality is, pursuing independence can sometimes come at the cost of financial security, and not many are willing to face the potential hardship that comes with it. As of the latest reports, La Toya's net worth stands at $1 million, while Michael's legacy has amassed an astounding $2.4 billion. This stark contrast highlights not only the vast financial disparity but also the weight of decisions made within the complex web of family dynamics. Michael Jackson was by far the cash cow of the family.
7:35 “play it Id Loveeeeee to see it” when Janet said she takes after her grandma for being so grand it really shows here. Honestly she was living for it in this interview cause she loves playing a diva 😂🙏🏻💅🏻
How anyone can think what she said was not true is crazy to me. She was so brave for this. Wish she would have continued to call out her family’s crimes :(
@@Snyper1405i could never stan for MJ. I could never stan for anyone accused of the things he has been accused of. To me he is just a black man from Gary Indiana. He’s capable of committing crimes and doing bad things just like any other person in this world. He bled like any other human and died like any other human as well. He was not a saint or a God. Too many people have come out for it to all be lies. There is no reason to be stanning for him in 2024. Anyone who does has got to be mental ill.
13:37 Latoya, I get your point, HOWEVER, everyone is not the same… Michael struggled with his appearance, his identity, and also being the MAIN person in the spot light… he is just the black sheep. No need to compare him to all of his siblings.🤷
If it’s true what she said in this Interview then I really can’t believe/understand how her mother didn’t make it stop. As a parent it is your duty and job to protect your kids at any cost. If my husband or any person on this planet would hurt, abuse or molest my child I would kill them. I WOULD!!! And I really have to say that this interviewer is clearly to wrong person to do this interview with. He doesn’t even want to understand. He is constantly interrupting her or making fun of her.
Exactly. People always talk about Joe, which he was indeed a total POS, but they give waaay to much credit to Katherine as the good mother that she clearly wasn't. In fact when Michael stated multiple times that he'd get beaten up so horribly in front of Katherine, not even once I heard Michael say she ever did anything to stop it other than maybe say, "Joe, you're going to kill the boy." So, I do believe LaToya when she said her father sexually abused her and Robbie, sometimes in front of their mother Katherine, and she would just let it happen. I can also believe Katherine was very manipulative, it's known she'd guilt trip Michael into participating in shows or tours with his brothers or make him pay for things for them despite him not wanting to, so this isn't just something LaToya had to deal with, but probably all of them kids in their own way. Michael just happened to be become the golden child after he got so big. She disgusts me as a mother and as a person. Any woman who allows her babies to be abused over and over for years in multiple ways, while not only doing nothing to stop it but also manipulating them for her own gain and benefit, and to traumatize them even further, does not deserve to be called a decent mother. She's horrible. Poor kids.
I appreciate Latoya's truth. I didn't believe her then but it's obvious to me that she's speaking honestly and I don't believe she recanted she just said her exhusband forced her to say these things and that she supported her brother but she didn't say what she said was not true. I think she just wanted to say that since she wasn't "in the room" she can't say what was going on and so she didn't recant she just changed her position because that was her brother.
No normal child (Michael did it also and told similar things) calls his father by his firstname. To me besides other things she tells, a clear indication of distance and that she tells the truth. I believe her. The father didn´t see in the huge amount of children sensitive human beings and individuals but an annoying mass of eaters to make money with. Poor children. Love to them all.
Michael is the best thing ever happened to this world. ❤ I love when people say the truth about him. God bless the lady who spoke saying Michael is very gentle.
Something always seems off about her in these interviews. When someone asked her something unexpected she doesn't know what to say. She's a decent actress is what she is. She's as two faces as what she says Katherine is.
Every survivor of child abuse KNOWS Latoya is telling the truth. Her story isn't as unusual as you might think. The mother who protects and enables the abusive father is a tale as old as time.
What I don't understand is how dare she, if true, reveal to the world someone else's trauma and abuse. She's attacking Rebbie while also talking about her alleged SA and trauma. This period of her life is vile. I can never look at her the same again.
5:13 mark, well damn lol I wonder if Latoya knew about the abuse that the Debarges were going through. I know she dated Bobby for a while. 9:14 mark, I know that's right. 9:42 mark. Jack was always either in the audience , or backstage. Lawd, I know I would've been on the edge of my seat too. ( Honestly I don't quite get Jack, even after Latoya divorced him he kept going after Michael in the press. But had no smoke for Joe afterwards, I guess because after he knocked him out at the Jackson's home. So I'm gonna guess to get back at Joe was to make his daughter suffer physically and Michael verbally in the press. Katherine said when Latoya & Jack were married, Jack told Katherine " I finally got me a Jackson " ) 14:40 mark - DAMN !!! 15:25 mark - Ummmmmm, I'm honestly not trying to be funny & please don't take this as a sideshot to Michael ( Because I know folks like to be quick to argue without comprehending ) No one should leave their kids to a celebrity. I love Michael too ( Hell I love the entire family ) but I wouldn't let my kids be under their / or any other famous person/ even my neighbor / distant cousins I don't even know to be under their care for a year. ( And folks says celebrity worship is only bad in this generation , nope ) 17:06 mark - That " B**** now what you gotta say for yourself" look Latoya has on her face when the lady at 16:49 put Jack on blast for beating Latoya. LMAOOOO Latoya was like " Now you had so much to say, now look at you all stuttering and shxt " lol 17:17 mark , Latoya got that ass !!! That's one thing I always say about people who might appear like they can't defend themselves or appear " Weak " to others. Latoya knew how to catch people when they slipped up. Reminded me of that one time Rebbie had to put someone in check lmaoooo 17:29 mark, Jack.... GIrl please, Chemotherapy / Radiation has nothing to do with beating someone. Now if he was on some schizophrenic medication that was laced with something. I can see that............
The fact that Katherine only considered leaving and divorcing Joe when she found out he had another family, because her ego was hurt, sickens me. That's what did it? Seeing him beat the boys until they were blue in the face wasn't enough? Or seeing him light up matches on her children's toes while they were asleep?

As if she hadn't already endured enough of it, by her supposed best friend, her own mother! F you, Katherine.
Now THIS is the real La Toya with the mask off. She is financially independent (though Jack was basically taking all of her money, but she was indpeendent from her family) from her family and is free to speak the truth. This is the La Toya that because of whome she is beholden to, she cannnot show anymore. La Toya does not feel free enough to aggressively defend herself as much anymore.
EXACTLY!! We need to free La Toya like we did Britney! Remember how she threatened to expose the entire MJ estate when MJ died? She's still that outspoken person she just has her hands tied at the moment when it comes to her family
@@JakobMoscow Lol to be honest I'm not so sure #FreeLaToya needs to happen. She has access to all her money and is living her life as she pleases. She also has said the family has apologized to her on Larry King in 2003 didn't she? She's probably moved on and has forgiven them and is in a positive space. What I hope for is for her to check out all the love and support she's getting on this channel from all the Toy Soldiers!
The only thing that gives me pause about this whole video is I'm at 16:41. After she said all of this she said that she would absolutely allow her children to spend the weekend with Michael it's bizarre
The interviewer can't shut up to give Latoya a chance to really speak. He ust can't wait to ask the next question and to hear himself. Horrible interviewer.
Ive been binge watching old latoya videos for a few days. I cant get through this one. I am halfway thru and going to move on. This "man" is so rude, disrespectful and mean... latoya is a lovely class act ❤
I agree and believe what she said about her father, Joseph. But, I certainly don’t agree it’s what she said about Michael. I know she was forced to by her husband, Gordon, who is digusting. I know Toya knew that Michael was innocent but was unfortunately abused and forced to say otherwise. I knew that was not how La Toya truly felt. I do feel bad for Michael, though, I couldn’t imagine what it felt like. But, I’m glad she told him why she said those things. RIP MJ 😭♥️🕊🕊🕊
9:24 She said she would not disclose the amount Playboy paid her and Jack Gordon (her shady manager) jumps in and discloses the figure to make her look bad. She should have never done this show but it was Jack's way of trying to tear down the family and make them look bad...why? Who knows...money? Why would Jack Gordon's opinion of anyone matter? He is no one in teh grand scheme. Jack states that he likes Joseph (10:34) yet he thinks Joseph Jackson is insane (10:51). Jack Gordon was behind all of this.
You're right he totally made her do all these interviews. Around 17:00 she's so happy the audience member called Jack out. Look at the smile on her face looking at Jack to answer lol
Sometimes it be your own black people he tried it. but she held her own where there's smoke there's usually🔥 people have come out and said different things about Joe Jackson we're not going to pretend that he was such a great person, when people at Motown had issues with him & how he treated his kids. Latoya tried to tell her truth and people thought she was a liar and a quack but she lived in that house she would know people have a great many secrets and their family and in their home what goes on in my house stays in my house does that sound familiar, back then many families in the black community thought that way and sadly to say in 2024 there's still some that think that way be clear about.
My mom use to make me pick my switches from a tree n not only beat me with switches she beat me with belts n switches. Her excuse was she was beat by instintion ( spellcheck) cords
Everyone calm the hell down about the interviewer. The show is called "The Devils Advocate" the entire point is that he debates people and takes the other side. Like a cross examination in court.
Jack Gordon she confessed she lied here because jack Gordon would beat latoya up and jack Gordon told her if don’t do has she’s told he would kill her and mj
Devil's Advocate ... how nice. If I was called onto a show with a name like that to air out my family's dirty laundry, I would strongly inconsider it to say the least.
Well everyone was calling her a liar, this show is essentially having her claims challenged through a game of devil's advocate, where you tell your story/opinion to someone (the "devil") and they approach everything with skepticism and scrutinise every detail to see how airtight your arguments are. It's a game my high school teachers used to play in English class to help us form persuasive arguments. In this context it seems she's trying to show that her truth would not falter under heavy scrutiny, and I think she succeeded.
Who is this jerk that won’t let her finish a sentence and is so judgmental. Glad she didn’t put up with his crap. What a horrible interview interviewer.
The interviewer is so disrespectful
💯% I agree with you 😡
just another man condition by the human (male) mentality to regard women as lowly and thus simple

The show is called "The Devils Advocate" and he debates people and takes the other side of the argument. Like in court.
She is so strong.. I can't believe he talks to her like this and the audience laughs... if I was there I would have had her back...
I know!! I agree!! He's a monster!! He ands the audience are disgusting!! She is incredible!! 😢
The show is called Devil’s advocate.. he’s supposed to challenge her.. it’s the format of the show
Because He's playing devil's advocate... She didn't write this book to stop abuse she wrote it because she was told to

I don't know what to think of her except that she's a complicated person
What is Latoya story today. She is 66yrs old. The ME TOO movement is real. She can get help. In the interview she did a lot of joking and laughing, I don't know what to think 🤔 about her story.
That’s not why she was disfellowed. It was because she stopped showing up to Kingdom Hall meetings.
She was defellowshipped because she stopped attending meetings at the KH because her one best friend from school, also a JW, was defellowshipped for asking questions about the religion. Please stop lying, she said it in her book.
She's a manipulator
This guy is so disrespectful in my opinion. He doesn't look bothered at all and does not let her finish single sentence .
Wow, that very last line "if you grew up the way I did, you wouldn't have a child either, I'm going to adopt"
Wow
Yet she “did it” with her abusive husband Jack Gordon who beat her black and blue. She stayed with him despite not having any children to tie her down and she is judging her mother while she herself is in a much worse situation. It’s easy to judge others but she couldn’t leave Gordon for years.. he literally exploited her. It’s one DV victim judging another.

It's sad but the mega fame and mega talent of MJ blinds people from looking at the full picture. If they took their rose-colored glasses off, his behavior and M.O. were quite alarming. But because fans are so fanatical they choose to make excuses for him instead of critically examining the situation for what it is. I hope the victims heal and I hope MJ himself healed before his passing in 09. It's tragic all around.
@@tias.6675 I have to agree with you there, All I have to say is that I'm glad that whatever happened between the Jackson family, is that they were able to reconcile before losing another family member. I love Latoya / MJ/ Jermaine / Rebbie ( The entire family honestly ) & no one can really say what happened behind closed doors.
One thing I can say is that Latoya didn't have much of backbone, same thing with some of the other siblings ( In which you can't put a time frame on growth / strength )
Do you remember on The Jackson Family - American Dream. When Katherine first met Joe and they were dancing at a restaurant. Joe asked her something about her parents and Katherine said something to the effect of " My parents got divorced, and when I get married I'm not getting divorce " That was the mindset of alot of people back then.
Honestly IMO I don't believe the sexual abuse about Joe, or the severity of it. I'd rather hope that Latoya was just lying ( Jack ) instead of it actually happening & if it did happen then it was wrong for Latoya to talk about Rebbie being " Raped " ( If that's true, in which I HOPE it's NOT. Then Latoya should've let Rebbie tell her story with being raped )
Now back to the whole " Backbone " thing. You know when parents are in a messy relationship knowing they don't need to be together but they want to say " For The Kids " don't realize how it's sending out the wrong message to their kids on what a good relationship should be about.
I can see why Latoya was with Jack Gordon so many years, she was naïve, didn't have a voice for herself. Took after her parents way of a relationship It took her many years for her to stand up for herself ( I'm glad she has and still alive to get back to her family and on good terms ).
Jack Gordon was like one of those dudes that pry on folks that are easy to control. I'm not saying all the blame has to be put on him, but it's something about knowing a person can control someone and make it hard for them to speak up for themselves and enjoy doing it. People are crazy for that.
I know Jack and Joe could not stand each other, I know Joe regretted doing any kind of business. They got into a physical altercation and Joe knocked that ass out. I think Latoya was there when it happened. When Jack married Latoya , he went to Katherine & Joe saying " I finally got me a Jackson now "
After Latoya left Jack for good, you can tell who was really the mastermind of it all ( Jack ), He kept talking to the press about Michael doing satanic rituals with Bubbles and other animals.
I always say could you imagine if Latoya committed suicide while she was with Jack. Good lord he would have a FIELD DAY saying it was Joe / Janet / Michael / Katherine that killed her and he tried to save her. I can totally picture him saying that.
Sorry for the long response, but I think this is one of the reasons why I could never be famous because sometimes things can be looked too deep into things. I just hope whoever is going through a similar situation as Latoya, or Katherine to learn from others experiences and make better decisions when possible.
( I had to add, you know after looking at these videos of Latoya, I swear if I closed my eyes and listen. If you asked me which family really went through this type of abuse between the Jackson's / Debarges. I would say Debarge so damn fast. People need to really look up the stuff they went through because the majority of the siblings have said the same thing , much worse. Because you know for a fact it's more than likely true )
@@j.h.8478 a lot of the MJ fans are very brainwashed but I see BEYOND someone’s name towards to public. I am able to read people and able to put two and two together. I done TONS of research and he seems innocent and not only, his “accusers” have been proven to be liars and gold diggers. You must haven’t done research maybe? I’ve always thought Katherine was two faced though. But MJ I could go on and on, on who I really thought he was but he did not know how to be himself to the public. I just think he did struggle with his sexuality a lot but a whole different conversation to get into. I use to be a HUGE R Kelly fan, now all I like is his music… I figured this stuff about R Kelly out before he was thrown in jail. I do not let these celebrities brainwash me, I don’t care how famous you are. But you have to be BIG on doing research and listen and looking at Michael and his talent and what he was interested in , in order to actually understand parts of him he was uncomfortable with showing. Therefore, I won’t waste time going back and forth with bare minimum. RESPECTFULLY :)
@@Tiripsroirraw you spoke nothing but facts… I don’t think MJ sexually abused those children but I do believe he had some things that other people would not have been able to understand but we have SOOOO much in common that I feel like he has to have some of the things. But I want to know how you feel about him :)
The only one who abused her was her ex husband psycho Jack Gordon. This book is trash and she was forced to say all this. Joseph never sexually abused her or Rebbie or anyone else. Thats pure rubbish. She feared for her life at that time because Gordon beat the heck out of her. You have to read her book "Startin Over" in which she explains all this.
Thanks for uploading this Iv wanted to see this for years💗Latoya should have got up and walked off that stage the disrespect towards her..she is feisty shes the only person in the whole Jackson clan with an honest bone in their body. She spoke out when nobody else did
But she was lying … So idk .
@@ISAIDWHATISAID. she wasn’t lying. This is her telling the truth. Also, notice….no one in her family
specifically addresses her sexual abuse or the physical abuse of Joseph. She has never said this didn’t happen. The only thing LaToya ever took back was that Michael was a pedophile. Everything else she has never recanted to this day.
@@ISAIDWHATISAID. you can tell when she was and when she wasn’t though…
@@raybay9794 Girl goodbye idc don't mention me...
@@ISAIDWHATISAID. maybe the dots through you off??
i adore her ! and please keep these videos coming !!
That woman who said she'd let Michael sleep with her children is delusional.
I swear, I don't get people like that when they talk about being ok leaving their kids with any celebrity they don't personally know.
He wouldn't do anything sexual to them
LaToya said she would do same thing, it was Jack Gordon who disagreed, so you can tell who her accusations against MJ came from
I would. If knew michael personally I see no problem.
@@McCartney154 🙄🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤮
Wow wow poor La Toya 💔 not only did she clearly go through an extremely abusive childhood but for the world to give her the cold shoulder and call her a liar?! She's right to call the audience out. She can love her family and call them out on what is clearly ethically wrong. She is also very comfortable stating her different opinions from Jack so I don't want to hear Jack forced her to say all these things. You can't fake the pain in her voice when she described these horrific things. I was surprised she said she believes deep down Joe is a good person. That lines up with what she said after her divorce from Jack about him. Katherine I can totally see being 2-faced. MJ is just heartbreaking. It makes me angry too. We were all rooting for him...
That lady at 15:25 mark really thought she was doing something
@@Tiripsroirraw 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ no words.
4:42 lol La Toya checked him
@@Tiripsroirraw I don't understand why they made her out to be some monster in all these interviews for doing Playboy. Other celebrities that did Playboy didn't face the wrath of the public like she did
@@tias.6675 she did express her doubts way before 1993 through Jack in 1991 according to a reputable newspaper. She also talked about her dilemma to Howard Stern privayely before the allegations broke out. Unlike the rest of the family she probably has least guilty conscience since she spoke out. Truly the hero of her family. Don't you find it weird it took her 10 years after 1993 to recant on Larry King Live in 2003? If that was my sibling I would tell the whole world as soon as I got away from that abusive relationship. She did many interviews after her divorce from Jack. I believe La Toya
Throughout all these years her stories never ever changed once …not once. So she was silenced by her family and her manager at the time exploited her. Poor Latoya
Everybody hated La Toya back then and disbelieve her. This guy disrespected her. Back then Michael or Janet were big and talented and she was bad and crazy while the truth was the opposite, I'm saying it now. La Toya was telling the truth. She also spoke the truth about Michael. Then they were able to shut her quiet.
Wow this man is absolutely vile the way he is treating her. Disgusting! He should of been sacked
wow she was so strong to sit there and continue her truth whilst the interviewer and the audience locked and quacked at her. That poor woman… I was getting so frustrated just why hearing the interviewer
Latoya was so beautiful, absolutely gorgeous! I love how she speaks and conducts herself even when disagreeing!
Interesting that Latoya changed her tune about the MJ allegations after this and said that she believed them. I guess she was still conflicted at this point as to how far she would go.
When folks blame those from abuse of any sort are sometimes abuser's themselves.
Imagine a show like this in america today? Its a brilliant concept.
Why they laughing?
She handle this interview pretty well and stood her her ground calling him a devil hahaha.
Heroic. That’s all I can say 👏🏻
La Toya Jackson, after her attempts to break free and establish her independence didn't succeed, ultimately chose to return to the family and even change her stories. The reality is, pursuing independence can sometimes come at the cost of financial security, and not many are willing to face the potential hardship that comes with it. As of the latest reports, La Toya's net worth stands at $1 million, while Michael's legacy has amassed an astounding $2.4 billion. This stark contrast highlights not only the vast financial disparity but also the weight of decisions made within the complex web of family dynamics. Michael Jackson was by far the cash cow of the family.
7:35 “play it Id Loveeeeee to see it” when Janet said she takes after her grandma for being so grand it really shows here. Honestly she was living for it in this interview cause she loves playing a diva 😂🙏🏻💅🏻
Lmaoooo I fell out laughing when I read your comment lmaoooo " my sister's a diva , she's gonna kill me " - Janet lmaooooo
How anyone can think what she said was not true is crazy to me. She was so brave for this. Wish she would have continued to call out her family’s crimes :(
She's literally lied multiple times and turned on her brother Michael. She brave?? Huh!!
@@Snyper1405i could never stan for MJ. I could never stan for anyone accused of the things he has been accused of. To me he is just a black man from Gary Indiana. He’s capable of committing crimes and doing bad things just like any other person in this world. He bled like any other human and died like any other human as well. He was not a saint or a God. Too many people have come out for it to all be lies. There is no reason to be stanning for him in 2024. Anyone who does has got to be mental ill.
I wish I'd of been in that audience I'd of had her in tears
The host must be friends of her relatives. He is so annoying
The interviewer is so disrespectful ‼️ I would’ve walked out.
13:37 Latoya, I get your point, HOWEVER, everyone is not the same… Michael struggled with his appearance, his identity, and also being the MAIN person in the spot light… he is just the black sheep. No need to compare him to all of his siblings.🤷
I agree
Michael Jackson housekeeper said there was vasaline everywhere in the bedroom
LaToya isn't lying
Could you explain that statement ? What’s the meaning ?
The same one who brought her son with her to work and sued him civilly rather than criminally? That housekeeper
Vaseline isn’t a lubricant tho Michael had a skin condition and Vaseline was used for that
Because he was a smooth criminal
I don’t like that man
If it’s true what she said in this Interview then I really can’t believe/understand how her mother didn’t make it stop. As a parent it is your duty and job to protect your kids at any cost. If my husband or any person on this planet would hurt, abuse or molest my child I would kill them. I WOULD!!!
And I really have to say that this interviewer is clearly to wrong person to do this interview with. He doesn’t even want to understand. He is constantly interrupting her or making fun of her.
Why..?? Because she is extremely religious. Period. So many people don't want to acknowledge bad things because they're very religious..
Exactly. People always talk about Joe, which he was indeed a total POS, but they give waaay to much credit to Katherine as the good mother that she clearly wasn't. In fact when Michael stated multiple times that he'd get beaten up so horribly in front of Katherine, not even once I heard Michael say she ever did anything to stop it other than maybe say, "Joe, you're going to kill the boy." So, I do believe LaToya when she said her father sexually abused her and Robbie, sometimes in front of their mother Katherine, and she would just let it happen.
I can also believe Katherine was very manipulative, it's known she'd guilt trip Michael into participating in shows or tours with his brothers or make him pay for things for them despite him not wanting to, so this isn't just something LaToya had to deal with, but probably all of them kids in their own way. Michael just happened to be become the golden child after he got so big.
She disgusts me as a mother and as a person. Any woman who allows her babies to be abused over and over for years in multiple ways, while not only doing nothing to stop it but also manipulating them for her own gain and benefit, and to traumatize them even further, does not deserve to be called a decent mother. She's horrible. Poor kids.
The strength she wills wow
The interviewer is the Devil. I can’t watch this anymore
That’s literally the concept. The show is called Devil’s Advocate.
I appreciate Latoya's truth. I didn't believe her then but it's obvious to me that she's speaking honestly and I don't believe she recanted she just said her exhusband forced her to say these things and that she supported her brother but she didn't say what she said was not true. I think she just wanted to say that since she wasn't "in the room" she can't say what was going on and so she didn't recant she just changed her position because that was her brother.
No normal child (Michael did it also and told similar things) calls his father by his firstname. To me besides other things she tells, a clear indication of distance and that she tells the truth. I believe her. The father didn´t see in the huge amount of children sensitive human beings and individuals but an annoying mass of eaters to make money with. Poor children. Love to them all.
I don't understand why IT be 20 and 30 years before people start talking 😢😢😢 about such issues and finding solutions ❤
Her husband was disgusting
What the hell...? This show seems abusive and exploitive. Yikes.
I taped this back in the day. Still have it somewhere.
The Interviewer makes me so damn mad.
Michael is the best thing ever happened to this world. ❤ I love when people say the truth about him. God bless the lady who spoke saying Michael is very gentle.
Something always seems off about her in these interviews. When someone asked her something unexpected she doesn't know what to say. She's a decent actress is what she is. She's as two faces as what she says Katherine is.
Twins Michael and Latoya family look alike 😎😎💯😎
Love Latoya!💗
Every survivor of child abuse KNOWS Latoya is telling the truth. Her story isn't as unusual as you might think. The mother who protects and enables the abusive father is a tale as old as time.
What I don't understand is how dare she, if true, reveal to the world someone else's trauma and abuse. She's attacking Rebbie while also talking about her alleged SA and trauma. This period of her life is vile. I can never look at her the same again.
Her Michael and Janet were the most vocal and honest in the family
5:13 mark, well damn lol I wonder if Latoya knew about the abuse that the Debarges were going through. I know she dated Bobby for a while.
9:14 mark, I know that's right.
9:42 mark. Jack was always either in the audience , or backstage. Lawd, I know I would've been on the edge of my seat too. ( Honestly I don't quite get Jack, even after Latoya divorced him he kept going after Michael in the press. But had no smoke for Joe afterwards, I guess because after he knocked him out at the Jackson's home. So I'm gonna guess to get back at Joe was to make his daughter suffer physically and Michael verbally in the press. Katherine said when Latoya & Jack were married, Jack told Katherine " I finally got me a Jackson " )
14:40 mark - DAMN !!!
15:25 mark - Ummmmmm, I'm honestly not trying to be funny & please don't take this as a sideshot to Michael ( Because I know folks like to be quick to argue without comprehending ) No one should leave their kids to a celebrity. I love Michael too ( Hell I love the entire family ) but I wouldn't let my kids be under their / or any other famous person/ even my neighbor / distant cousins I don't even know to be under their care for a year. ( And folks says celebrity worship is only bad in this generation , nope )
17:06 mark - That " B**** now what you gotta say for yourself" look Latoya has on her face when the lady at 16:49 put Jack on blast for beating Latoya. LMAOOOO Latoya was like " Now you had so much to say, now look at you all stuttering and shxt " lol
17:17 mark , Latoya got that ass !!! That's one thing I always say about people who might appear like they can't defend themselves or appear " Weak " to others. Latoya knew how to catch people when they slipped up. Reminded me of that one time Rebbie had to put someone in check lmaoooo
17:29 mark, Jack.... GIrl please, Chemotherapy / Radiation has nothing to do with beating someone. Now if he was on some schizophrenic medication that was laced with something. I can see that............
The fact that Katherine only considered leaving and divorcing Joe when she found out he had another family, because her ego was hurt, sickens me.
That's what did it? Seeing him beat the boys until they were blue in the face wasn't enough? Or seeing him light up matches on her children's toes while they were asleep?
Or worst of all, seeing him sexually abuse their two daughters wasn't enough?
The interviewer totally discounted Latoya saying she was sexually abused by her own father and he actually blames Latoya and has sympathy for Katherine! Just what she needed, more gaslighting. As if she hadn't already endured enough of it, by her supposed best friend, her own mother!
F you, Katherine.
Yeah something was wrong with him. Some stuff I believed and some stuff I could just tell it was a lie….
Can see how she’s nervous and terrified of jack her manager husband! Poor Latoya 😢
Thats why he had to say all this rubbish. She feared for her life
The 80s and 90s was horrible when it came to understanding abuse victims
15:20 crazy woman
Now THIS is the real La Toya with the mask off. She is financially independent (though Jack was basically taking all of her money, but she was indpeendent from her family) from her family and is free to speak the truth. This is the La Toya that because of whome she is beholden to, she cannnot show anymore. La Toya does not feel free enough to aggressively defend herself as much anymore.
EXACTLY!! We need to free La Toya like we did Britney! Remember how she threatened to expose the entire MJ estate when MJ died? She's still that outspoken person she just has her hands tied at the moment when it comes to her family
@@lauras.2347 Yes! Laura this is so true! How do we get #freelatoya to happen? Any ideas @CJ?
@@JakobMoscow Lol to be honest I'm not so sure #FreeLaToya needs to happen. She has access to all her money and is living her life as she pleases. She also has said the family has apologized to her on Larry King in 2003 didn't she? She's probably moved on and has forgiven them and is in a positive space. What I hope for is for her to check out all the love and support she's getting on this channel from all the Toy Soldiers!
@@CJsLaToyaJacksonArchive You know what, you hve a great point!
@@CJsLaToyaJacksonArchive Agreed !!! Toya seems at a good place, love seeing her funny posts on IG
The only thing that gives me pause about this whole video is I'm at 16:41. After she said all of this she said that she would absolutely allow her children to spend the weekend with Michael it's bizarre
In the end we can see how slowly we can see Michael died innocent
The interviewer can't shut up to give Latoya a chance to really speak. He ust can't wait to ask the next question and to hear himself. Horrible interviewer.
Katherine just let me down
The other brothers weren't worth as much money as michael, nor did they have as big a career to lose as michael at the time.
Exactly… he had wayyyyy much more pressure on him than his brothers did… I forget their names sometimes…
Ive been binge watching old latoya videos for a few days. I cant get through this one. I am halfway thru and going to move on. This "man" is so rude, disrespectful and mean... latoya is a lovely class act ❤
She is the cutest thing wow
Doesn't surprise THAT Jack Gordon died in 2008😈💀👹👁
I agree and believe what she said about her father, Joseph. But, I certainly don’t agree it’s what she said about Michael. I know she was forced to by her husband, Gordon, who is digusting. I know Toya knew that Michael was innocent but was unfortunately abused and forced to say otherwise. I knew that was not how La Toya truly felt. I do feel bad for Michael, though, I couldn’t imagine what it felt like. But, I’m glad she told him why she said those things. RIP MJ 😭♥️🕊🕊🕊
9:24 She said she would not disclose the amount Playboy paid her and Jack Gordon (her shady manager) jumps in and discloses the figure to make her look bad. She should have never done this show but it was Jack's way of trying to tear down the family and make them look bad...why? Who knows...money? Why would Jack Gordon's opinion of anyone matter? He is no one in teh grand scheme. Jack states that he likes Joseph (10:34) yet he thinks Joseph Jackson is insane (10:51). Jack Gordon was behind all of this.
You're right he totally made her do all these interviews. Around 17:00 she's so happy the audience member called Jack out. Look at the smile on her face looking at Jack to answer lol

@@CJsLaToyaJacksonArchive CJ do you have IG or FB, I have alot of Latoya stuff I have to tell ya
Sometimes it be your own black people he tried it. but she held her own where there's smoke there's usually🔥 people have come out and said different things about Joe Jackson we're not going to pretend that he was such a great person, when people at Motown had issues with him & how he treated his kids. Latoya tried to tell her truth and people thought she was a liar and a quack but she lived in that house she would know people have a great many secrets and their family and in their home what goes on in my house stays in my house does that sound familiar, back then many families in the black community thought that way and sadly to say in 2024 there's still some that think that way be clear about.

7:34 Alright LaToya!!!
Latoya is the only Jackson I like now.
That West Indian accent can’t hide.
Everyone calm the hell down about the interviewer. The show is called "The Devils Advocate" the entire point is that he debates people and takes the other side. Like a cross examination in court.
The interviewer doesnt believe her thats why he's acting like he knows everything and like he's trying to get her to confirm what he believes.
This interviewer mades me sick
I hate how he talks to her...
Jack Gordon she confessed she lied here because jack Gordon would beat latoya up and jack Gordon told her if don’t do has she’s told he would kill her and mj
Facts ❤❤❤❤❤
Yea
Devil's Advocate ... how nice.
If I was called onto a show with a name like that to air out my family's dirty laundry, I would strongly inconsider it to say the least.
Well everyone was calling her a liar, this show is essentially having her claims challenged through a game of devil's advocate, where you tell your story/opinion to someone (the "devil") and they approach everything with skepticism and scrutinise every detail to see how airtight your arguments are. It's a game my high school teachers used to play in English class to help us form persuasive arguments. In this context it seems she's trying to show that her truth would not falter under heavy scrutiny, and I think she succeeded.
"Latoya's a witch. And she has too much weave in her hair." - Michael Jackson
And MJ had too many little boys in his bed.
Who is this jerk that won’t let her finish a sentence and is so judgmental. Glad she didn’t put up with his crap. What a horrible interview interviewer.
