I know this may be a fairly controversial thing to say..but I feel sorry for Joh'Vonnie Jackson.

There, said.

I don't think she should be blamed for her parents' misgivings. It's not like she asked to be born. To blame someone for their very existence is inconceivable really.

I know the Jacksons resent that Joseph is more affectionate and giving towards Joh'Vonnie but that's not her fault.. I read her website tonight and she really seems to love her siblings. Some of them don't even acknowledge her though. I'm sad for her.

If that was all she said then fine i could understand, however she felt the need to go on about how Michael was far more interested in her daughter when they met blah blah blah........ Have no time for her!!

I don't think she meant the daughter bit in a bad way though! We all know Michael is great with children. I guess she felt hurt because she probably built up the situation in her head - her meeting Michael for the first time.

I just feel sorry for her. It can't be an easy life people hating you for being Joe Jackson's illegitimate child.

Yeah actually I do. I mean naturally you have to lend her some sympathy. She didn't ask for it. She's paying for a mistake that others irresponsibly made.
When I read about how she felt when Michael met her , it honestly made me cry. Its a No win situation.
He has every right to be angry and she does too.

What can you say, life isn't fair.:no:
 
Sure, I feel sorry for her. But she's not the only one who's been hurt in this situation. Katherine and her children have been. For them, no connection lessens the hurt. She feels differently. Neither can be forced to change their feelings. It's a sad situation all around.
 
I agree with everyone that it's an almost impossible situation. Katherine's children probably think they would be betraying her if they get close to Joh'Vonnie.
But I just feel as adults now maybe it is time. They are blood after all. Maybe the years have softened the pain.

michaels_wendy_bird I'm very sorry to hear that about your father. :huggy:

Dont be sorry, better off without him :cheeky:
 
Did she call Joseph by his name too or was she allowed to call him dad? I do sympathize but I think she expected too much for Michael to be all warm and affectionate with her. Michael was a loving person but he loved his mother and was protective of her. He had issues with his father too. I doubt Michael was mean to her. It doesn't seem like the others have contact with her either.
 
No. I feel sorry for katherine having to be reminded that her husband was sleeping around and now she lost her son.

This may sound cruel, but on the whole, I think Joh'vonnie is largely irrelevant to the siblings. The family is huge and their lives are full. The siblings that were raised together and genuinely love each other, don't apparently all see each other a lot. They have busy lives and are satisfied with the family they have. They don't feel the need to embrace Joh'vonnie.

That's not right. I never understood why he would not let his kids call him dad.
 
no, I don't feel sorry. We love the Jackson family, that means what comes out of Katherine and their kids.

She can make her life on her own just like anybody, she just doesn't need to bring it on TV. Does the world really need to hear about her... no.
 
Don't feel sorry for her. She has her father and mother who love her. That is her family. The Jackson kids have no obligation to her. They were not the cause and the effect of her being here. The only people who are obligated to her is Joe and her mother.
 
I can understand how Michael and his siblings must have felt. My parents split up when I was 14 and he met someone else and got himself a new family. Never bothered seeing us and spent more time with them. Even as an adult its hard not to feel a bit resentful. But she did not ask to be born and that's the reason I feel sorry for her.

Completely agree with you. It seems to me like she wants to reach out. She is their sister and that can't be changed.
And I'm very very sorry to hear that about your father.
 
I don't feel sorry for Joh'Vonnie because I see the same situation with other half-siblings. Basically they grew up together and she came years later, so it is not surprising they don't embrace her the same way especially since she came from a different mother. It is not the same. I think the part of her problem is that she feel excluded and as an outsider in the Jackson clan.
 
I think that this is a matter for the family and not for us to judge but I pray and hope that she is able to work and create a bright future for herself. If we are determined to suceed in life the circumstances surrounding our Birth do no matter.
 
I feel sorry for her too. I'm sure if she had a choice, she wouldn't be in this situation.
 
You know I did feel a little bad for her, but hey, life goes on. If I were her, I would hold my head up and make my life the best it can be. If you don't want to be a part of my life: YOUR LOST!

But then she lost me, when she appeared on that tabloid program. I believe it was Entertainment Tonight.

Now if you are hoping to get into the good graces of your family, the last, very last thing you should be doing is airing the family's dirty laundry on television.

After the lost of Michael, some members of the family may have eventually included her in family matters, but after her television appearance, I'm sure all bets are off.
 
Not only did she appear on ET to dish out on a man she never got to know (according to her own) but she also joined her desperate half siblings when it came to selling out to the British tabloids, she proved she is a Jackson indeed.

Oh my! I had no idea she did any interviews with the British tabloids.

There is a difference between "embracing in a different way" and completely ignoring.
I really do feel for the girl. But I can also see the Jacksons' side. It's a no win situation I guess.
