Re: Family Photos
I heard she works for Joe, so he counts her. Some of Jermaine's and Randy's children are from affairs and they are considered part of the family. What's the difference?
A big difference, that what..
I can't comment on Jermaine and Randy's affairs, they are not as well documented as Joesph's. All I know is that Jermaine had an affair with Randy's wife, I can't remember if she had Jermaine's children before or after she left Randy. But Randy wasn't pleased and they didn't speak for quite sometime. I'm aware Jermaine has children from an affair or affairs whilst still married to Hazel Gordy, and obviously as a whole family the children would be excepted by the Jackson's, but do those children have a good realtionship or close realtionship with his children with Hazel Gordy. That's the thing, how to siblings except each other, not the Jackson family as a whole. Joesph's daugther from his affair may have a good realtionship with the wider non famous Jackson family who aren't the offspring of Katherine, but not with Joesph's children and family contected to Katherine. The point you mentioned about Jermaine and Randy is interesting, and shows how complex relationships withing the Jackson family is.
I agree. Lots of celebrity family have to deal with affairs. Diana Ross had affairs with Berry Gordy and had a child for him. That child is very much a part of their family, Quincy Jones had affairs too. So did Mohammed Ali. Celebrity having extra marital affairs is not new. Also while Jermaine, Randy, Jackie, Tito, Michael were having affairs some women lived under Kathrine's roof.
I believe Katherine is well over joes affairs. She has continued to support him in public. Fans need to let it rest. There is no evidence that the Jackson family is not accepting Jo'vonnie. The girl has a right to know her family too.
Your missing the point. Some of the people you mention who had affairs, did not produce children within those affiars. ie Quincy Jones had affairs and never produced children, his children with 3 different happend in 3 marriages and one relationship years after his divorce from Peggy Lipton. Jackie had affairs, but never had any children and his only children are from his marriage, and the same goes for Tito. I don't know why you've mentioned Michael, he never had children from an affair whilst married or outside a relationship with another women. Blanket is Prince and Paris's half brother, but he wasn't born from a relationship that caused a huge rift in a family. Also the likes of Mohammed Ali doesn't have a close relationship with all of his children.
There is nothing wrong with being half brother's and sisters. Relationships can come to an end, and partners have other children, that's acceptable. But screwing around whilst married or in a solid relationship were you already have children causes a lot of hurt, especially when that extra relationship produces a child. You don't just accept someone as your half sibling from such a relationship because you share the same father, it's not that simple.
yes there is...mj referrs to the fact his mother had 10 kids....including brandon i reckon....cuz then he'd say his father had 11, which he did.
u don't see her at parties and didn't see her during the trial. she's doesn't know the other part of the family and i believe that if the kids from that side were to reach out to her, katherine would feel that it's a direct slap in the face....so maybe they're doing it to appease their mother....
It would be a slap in a face to Katherine, and a real hard slap. I totally understand the Jackson's for not wanting anything to do with their half-sister. There is also more to being siblings than just blood, like shared experiences. Some people except having a half-sibling from one parents affair, and for others such a half-sibling is a representation of a bad period of their lives.
Who cares? She's their sister whether they like it or not! :doh:
OMG SHE LOOKS ADORABLE! :wub:
But that's not the way they see it.
Anyway I don't want carry on about this. I just have strong views in this subject. Besides this is a great picture thread. I like seeing photos of Michael with his nieces and nephews, and candid photos with his brothers and sisters.
TJ & his son Royal (This is not the mother)
Cool, TJ has a son. I didn't know that, I just knew he got married recently.
