Janet Jackson first book "True You"

Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

Siblings tease each other. That really isn't the issue. It's just annoying how Michael is the one that gets looked at when she has 5 other brothers who did the same. Even if Michael did it the most. I have would have chosen my words better knowing how the media are like.

I am getting really tired of feeling that I can't say how I feel without being judged. To be honest, I don't care that Michael teased her because I don't think he meant to hurt her. Michael loved Janet. I am sure she teased him. It's a little thing yet why do the media have to make it bigger than it is? Michael is not the first brother to tease his sister. Did George Clooney tease his sister? Brad Pitt? People can ask about Michael the humanitarian, the kind of father and friend he was. There are other important things that can be focused on that's all.

So what if she has said Michael teased her when they were KIDS. Telling her to say no comment when someone asks about it would make it appear worse like its something really bad to hide when there isnt. Its not anything people use against MJ. The only ones that complain or ponder on it are fans. Its so trivial I dont know why? I dont see the reason for all the DRAMA over something ALL kids do when growing up. Its a harmless story and she doest portray Michael as a bad person nor does she portray it as if Michael scarred her for life. She has nothing here to be ashamed of. She isnt picking on or bashing her dead brother either. IMO -That is a sad vindictive statement to make over something so trivial.

Agree

I think it's just has to do with the fact that ''untouchable perfect'' Michael is revealed human and not perfect...
Not many MJ fans complains that Michael was saying many times that his father beat him, which was true, so I don't get why we couldn't accept that Janet is saying also that Michael was teasing her, which is also true.

So what is it, when Joe will be dead, we will not be allowed to talk about him beating his kids for the 'respect of the dead' clause? :blink:
What happened happened, and Janet is doing a great job identifying what made her who she is and making herself grow more confidence and understanding of her life and helping other young girls who like her finding confidence in themselves.

That said, yes media will keep on bringing that particular point of her story just because the name Michael is in it, but since it's the truth, it shouldn't bring hate to her. Just deal with the fact that Michael is not perfect and just acted like a normal human being.
:)

Btw I read her book, and it can be inspiring, a nice read!
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

Nobody is perfect. I am not surprised that Michael teased her or anyone else in his family. That happens in families. It's not even about the teasing. It's not even about Janet. It is annoying that Michael gets singled out for these things even the smallest things when others were involved too. I hear this and I just think to myself yeah and so did her other brothers. It's not the fans making it bigger than it seems. It's the media. It just gets old after awhile.

This is the media. If Michael and his brothers always took his sister's candy for example the headline would be Michael stole his sister's candy. It should be her brothers took her candy. I know it's a dumb example but I am just trying to show what annoys me.

I'm no Janet fan, but her saying he teased her is the truth, presumably, and most brothers tease their sisters anyway. I don't think she's doing it to "bash" him so much as just reminiscing about childhood trifles, and even though no one really likes to be teased, that was a part of her family life.

And I don't think she's trying to make him out to be a bad brother. If she wanted to say that, she would say it outright. And that stuff happened when they were kids, no one would judge him for it [and I honestly don't know anyone who has, even among non-MJ fans].

Unless she made it clear and specific that hurt her in a way that was irreparable, claimed Michael was an awful brother, etc. I think you guys are being overly sensitive.

If you see the way she talks about it, it's a complete non-issue now. Young girls [and boys] tend to be insecure, so they take teasing from others seriously, but the person doing the teasing has no way of understanding how words affect people if both are young children. It'd be completely different if it was a Michael/Joe scenario where Joe was a grown man teasing his teenage son. I think Janet makes distinctions, and wishes she would have taken it less seriously at the time.

I agree with you, with the only exception that I'm a huge Janet fan.
I think you guys take it too serious and react too sensitivly about the whole subject. The way she talked about it seems in no way like she would bash Michael. Following Janet since 1997 I already heard it before that Michael teased her with name calling back then. So what? Does that change anything? Is Michael a bad person in the public eye and Janet the poor victim? We all had to face teasing, and Janet just recently talked about it officially. I don't understand why it's such a big deal on here. She just shared some memories from her childhood.

You know MsCassieMollie, now I'm thinking that the reason for that appearance was to put The X-Factor seeds in motion. That appearance had nothing to do with her book or her diet plan. LOL!

So far, it worked, because we are talking about it.

lol I was thinking that.
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

The media brings it up and fans are just tired of hearing it.
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

It's not that he teased her. Brothers and sisters do that to each other. As a fan I can comprehend Michael doing that. I don't think it's nice to put people's opinions down. I don't think Michael was perfect or put him on a pedestal. Just because I don't like the media questioning any little thing Michael did does not mean that it's because I don't see Michael as a human being. I do and always have.

We don't have to agree on every topic regarding Michael. Doesn't mean we can't say how we feel and have a conversation. Maybe it's just me but I don't like people saying get over it and fans can't see Michael as a person. I think we judge each other a little too much here. It makes me sad. Sorry for the rant and I apologize if I offend anyone what I am saying.
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

Is it worth arguing so much about?

Michael was a human being, he did what any other sibling does. It doesnt make him less lovable, less talented, less special; he still loved his sister and she still loved him back. I dont see what the big deal is. :mello:
 
Re: Janet Jackson bringing up teasing again

That is a bait post from a person that obsessively hates Janet Jackson so both parties, MJ fans and Janet fans, just ignore it and move on.
