Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Book To Be Released Sept 13*

[Rhilo]

Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I have a hard time believing what Jermaine wrote. He wants to make people believe he was MJ's backbone when he wasn't.

after lying about a simple thing as the incident at the beach, I have a hard time believing the DC-8 "plan B" ...or anything else he writes about.

And the fact that he is blaming "others" for MJ's pulling away from the family, proves the still don't get "it"....even two years later.

I blame the Jacksons almost as much as Conrad murray, the Chandlers & the Arvizos...for MJ's death. But it saddens me that even after MJ paid the ultimate price, they still refuse to acknowledge their own contribution to his demise.

Yeah, and the notion that Michael loved doing the Victory tour is ludicrous. Is that why he evaded similar family schemes that followed?

Oh yeah I forgot that one...why do they feel the need to lie about silly things like these? I cannot wrap my head around....It's such a blatant lie.

Regarding MJ's death, JJ seems to have taken a leaf out of Latoya's book (maybe seen what alot of publicity her ridiculous conspiracy talk got). He says in the interview that he wants to see the tape recordings of who visited MJ on day of his death. Says its suspicious that they've been wiped and so only show Murray. 'I defy anyone to read this book and not feel that something smells.' Apparently 'Jermaine suggest that others besides Murray were involved in administering the propofol he believes poisoned MJ's brain... Jermaine is not accusing Murray of murder...if everything is brought out, if they find the tapes..then it will go beyond just Murray. Because i don't think he was courageous enough to dothis by himself.'

This is really great, just before the trial to start throwing shade and confusion. It was the actions of a negligent, lazy, greedy doctor. End of story. What's with the ridiculous conspiracy theories with this family - leave them to the internet obsessives. Boils down to the fact that unfortunately for them, murray was a doctor with debts teetering on bankruptcy and so cannot be sued for money.

Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I am really angry to read Jermaine decided to speculate on what would have happened if Michael was found guilty. I think such talk should NOT exist at all! He was found not guilty so no one should even consider what would have happened if he was convicted. He wasn't. Period. So don't even go there!And that escape story. Is Jermaine crazy to be telling it even if it's true?! The main point is Michael didn't know about this plan. But i am sure that while reprinting this story the media will forget to mention this little fact and Michael will end up being the bad guy all over again.I've decided. I am not buying Jermaine' book. By trying to make this book "entertaining" and telling all those stupid stories he is throwing Michael under the bus.

Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine has revealed a plan to secretly fly his sibling to Bahrain if he was found guilty of child molestation charges, it was reported.
The 56-year-old said a private jet financed by a friend was on standby to whisk the pop star to the Persian Gulf state, which does not have an extradition treaty with the US, if Michael had been convicted at the end of his 2005 court case.
In an interview with The Times Magazine, Jermaine said: "If they were going to sit and crucify my brother for something that he didn't do, America deserves us not to come back here.
"At the end of the day, this is supposed to be the land of the brave, home of the free, democracy, freedom of speech.
"The way they were treating him, none of that existed. Why should he go to jail for something he didn't do?"
Jermaine, a former Jackson 5 member, said his younger brother was not aware of the escape plot but would have agreed to flee America "in a heartbeat" because he would have not survived in jail.

and this is just making up stories now. so there was an escape plan that Michael didn't know and Jermaine who doesn't know what Michael would or would not do, is writing his fantasy as what would have happened? It's fiction.

and honestly even if true, how is this helping Michael or changing public opinion about him. Jermaine just portrayed Michael as a rich celebrity that would not respect the law and defy a court order just because he can and he feels like it. How is that helping Michael?

According to Jermaine, Michael didn't know about it so I don't see why T-Mez would know and I doubt Jermaine would had told him.

The story itself isn't the problem since from one point of view I can see where Jermaine is coming from and I can even agree to a lesser extent why he would want to fly Michael out of the country. However, I see no reason why he had to bring this up now since it is such a none issue. His brother was found innocent, so there was no need to bring up this 'escape' plan. It make Michael looked cowardly and proved that Sneddon was right to call Michael a flight risk. Also as Ivy pointed out, it makes Michael look like another spoil rich celebrity that is above the law.

Also, like may here I am sick of the entire conspiracy talk. It is nothing we haven't heard before and like his big sister, Jermaine offers no evidences to law enforcers and once again give Murray a free pass. This isn't surprising given that this is the same guy who stated that Murray was only being targeted because he was black. Cause you know, a broke black person wouldn't had dared to kill Michael Jackson. I also hate he brings up the old lie about security tapes. No matter how many times this has been disproving, someone always had to bring it back from the dead.

Maybe someone should ask Jermaine if he ever going to get around to the people who 'really' started the trial in 2005. I remembered only days after Michael was found not guilty he was all over the news claiming the entire trial was a setup to take his ATV Cat and they were going to name names soon since, 'they know who they are'. Nice to see somethings never change.

This is perhaps what his publisher told him to say if he wants to make money. It's all about MONEY. The Jack$on$ are some of the most disturbingly corrupted families out there. Those people are creepy.

JJ say he went to look for mj and mj3 was disrespectful to his children? Don't ring true to me, because I heard from every one who meet those kids say the are respectful, I hate those story JJ telling they are going to make mj look bad.

Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I was going to say the same thing!!!! How does he know of Michael's mental state!!! None of the family was around Michael close to his death. They had a party for their parents and that was it. They can only tell newspapers and media these things because fans know better than that. Here we are back to the original question: What percent of Jermaine's book is true and what percent is things he made up in his mind? What is Jermaine's mental state?

PS: another thing that pissed me off--the escape plan. Thank God Michael did not know of this and Michael would never have agreed to a plan like that. Next, as soon as Michael was convicted, they would have taken him into custody. At least that is the way it is done most times. The prosecution was already hinting that Michael was a flight risk due to alleged money problems, so they would have kept an eye on him. Jermaine has been looking at too many movies on TV.

What does he mean by "America deserves us not to come back." Who is going to miss Jermaine. Now Michael is another thing. Many will miss him, but notice Jermaine adds us.

Jermaine always seems to think he and Michael are one and the same, hence the use of the word 'us' when he speaks in interviews. No one would've cared if Jermaine moved to Bahrain and never came back. He thinks so highly of himself its hilarious really.

And watch, just wait and see how the media will twist that Bahrain escape plot to make it Michael's secret plan. Again, its just amazing how members of that family keep shooting themselves in the foot with what they say.

Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I finally read the entire TIMES article/interview and I must admit Jermaine did a great job defending Michael. It was one of the better interviews the family had about Michael since his death. There were a few offs though in the interview I didn't agree with but nonetheless it was pretty good. The interviewer was a total dickhead tho.

One of my peeps from LSA:

He brings up Joe's abuse, he says the same thing that Margaret and Toya did about the look Joe gets in his face before he beatthem, he says the FBI showed there was no evidence for the allegations, he says Mike carried the umbrellas because of lupus, that he didn't want to become white, he talks about Mike's vitiligo in 2005 and that it was the first time he'd ever really seen the full extent and he's really snidey about how people don't believe it...

He objects to the word weird for Mike, the interviewer says the book pretty much refutes everything about him, they make it sound cynical like "pshhhya so he wasn't ever totally creepy, yarite" but Jermaine does a good job and doesn't really give them any thing.

Well that part he should have kept to himself to be honest. Bad idea, the media will twist that story around. But he is one the actual members of that family who said Michael was no drug addict.

The hospital scene from his book made me sad though...

 

[Moonwalker.Fan]

Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

and then... people and MJ fans wonder if it shows a sign of guilt, if he probably was guilty but the court is just a big money game.... and so on..., MJ didnt know anything of this..., only because of morons like Jermaine who did something behind MJs back... and he thought it would help Michaels reputation as a defector, a runaway...

this is a never ending story... from this family...

The criminal trial is around the corner and JJ is putting the focus back on child molestation. How does this help MJ? Even the presiding Judge banned the reference of child molestation in any way shape or form. The jacksons are effectively ruining MJ legacy as times go by.

But Jermaine STRONGLY defended Michael against the allegations. I think he should have just kept that escape plan bit to himself.

From LSA:
Yeah, AP picked that up so their story is reposting everywhere. I just scanned most of these and to me the story does not look bad. Every outlet emphasizes that Michael didn't know about the plan. And reminds people that Michael was found innocent of all charges. I think it leads people who might be on the fence into sympathetically nodding their head at the part where Jermaine says:

If they were going to sit and crucify my brother for something that he didn't do, America deserves us not to come back here.

At the end of the day, this is supposed to be the land of the brave, home of the free, democracy, freedom of speech.

The way they were treating him, none of that existed. Why should he go to jail for something he didn't do?

Btw.....glad he clearly said MJ was no drug addict. If he can clearly outline what happened in the past as opposed to now, why could'nt Janet, LaToya and the rest do likewise? or are they gonna say Jermaine does'nt know what he is talking about?

Why do you think some stories are believable while others aren't?

No accusation...just looking for a logical explanation.

FYI: He called Michael a drug addict...something he ha always denied until now

As someone just told him on twitter, Jermaine is a first class idiot:

“We all know that Michael was on prescription painkillers for his excruciating pain and had prescription drugs to sleep, but that doesn’t equal ‘drug addict’. A drug addict takes drugs for recreational uses."

An addict is an addict regardless if it's meds or cocaine. Addicted means the person becomes dependant on the drugs. MJ himself admited he was addicted in 1993, that doesn't make him a bad person. And he didn't take the meds for recreational purposes , but because of pain from a recent surgery.
Some will read this quote from jermaine and think he is an imbecile. He called his brother an addict ...without him knowing what an addict really is.

Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I read the excerpt

- YES he does a wonderful job of defending Michael about the allegations
- YES he does a good job of defending Michael in regards to vitiligo - curious about how he's going to explain his diss in Word to the Badd
- OKAY in regards to the drugs - not an addict but dependency
- SEEMS like he acknowledges that they weren't close in the last years - blames other people for this - SAME as Latoya
- SEEMS his source for the information for final days of Michael are the SAME as Latoya's - it's all the SAME
- NO to calling him a "body dysmorphic" - totally Unneeded.

and honestly that escape plan is not doing Michael any favors.

I might get and read the book to summarize for everyone but honestly I'm disappointed.

[MsCassieMollie]

Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

I suck at summarizing articles so here's a summary from one of my friends from LSA:

Jerm's interview, he says Mike had a blow up of Diana Ross from Why Do Fools Fall in Love album and Jermaine says it reveals Mike's biggest crush of all...

I don't like the interviewer.

His book excerpt is actually pretty good

He brings up Joe's abuse, he says the same thing that Margaret and Toya did about the look Joe gets in his face before he beat them, he says the FBI showed there was no evidence for the allegations, he says Mike carried the umbrellas because of lupus, that he didn't want to become white, he talks about Mike's vitiligo in 2005 and that it was the first time he'd ever really seen the full extent and he's really snidey about how people don't believe it...

He objects to the word weird for Mike, the interviewer says the book pretty much refutes everything about him, they make it sound cynical like "pshhhya so he wasn't ever totally creepy, yarite" but Jermaine does a good job and doesn't really give them any thing.

I really dislike the interviewer. Jermaine is quoted as saying most biographies on Mike contain "crap"

Jermaine says Mike's wheel chair in 2008 was for disguise and to make his comeback seem better... the bodyguards disagree with that. I take their word for it 'cause they were there.

The interviewer seems keen to suggest like most journalists that this trial will involve dirt and smearing MJ and he seems to think this is justifiable the way he keeps going on... blah.

Is the pic in the interview really him on one page? With no pigment on his face? It looks like it's from the early 80s???

Jermaine thinks there were others involved in his death, but he doesn't sound AS crazy as Toya does.

The interview does bring up brief facts about the allegations and talks about Jordie being estranged from his parents and Evan shooting himself.

I like that he points out that they all would share beds together as kids, I also like that he says "why do you need a bed to have sex? you can have sex anywhere" It's a good point, Jerm. :good:

Jerm apparently talks about MJ playing pranks and goofing around through adulthood which the interviewer sounds all uppity about, saying he sounds like a "delinquent child."

He says Mike didn't see the beauty in himself and never got over the acne, in response to plastic surgery...

About women...

So I guess not much more tea for us in the book?

The interviewer is really disdainful of Mike's kids not "having mothers" and Jermaine seems to agree :disdain: Bleugh. I'll see when they bitch about Cristiano Ronaldo or Ricky Martin's kids not having mothers or when Angelina Jolie (initially when she adopted) and Sandra Bullock get bitched out for not having father's.

I don't like the story about Jerm wanting to whisk MJ away in a private jet in 2005 but I feel like he thinks sharing that will make people realize how much he cared for him. I don't think he realizes it makes him sound a bit crazy.

The story about Mike in hospital after hurting his back in 2005 is sad.

Overall I think it's one of the better interviews his family has given and he actually relays facts and doesn't walk into every single interviewer trap.

Jermaine never called Michael a drug addict in this interview or any other. There are major differences between addiction and dependency BTW. Plenty of people are dependent on medications for pain and various illnesses because they have to take these medicines but are not addicted. I'm not fond of Jermaine but he is one of the few Jackson's who have maintained for the last 2 years that Michael was not addicted at death, I give him props for that.

Re: Jermaine Writing Book On Life With MJ *Update Post 253, Book To Be Released In Sept*

The part about mothers really pissed me off. The disapproval in Jermaines voice is very loud. "Michael's kids don't have a mother and look at me, my kids have 4 mothers" what the hell!

This whole interview... At first glance it may seem nice but when you really think about he says a lot of unnecessary stuff and portrays himself as this superman of a brother which in fact he wasn't.


I have to agree the scene in the hospital is heartbreaking. But what goes after it, the escape plot, is taken right out of a cheap detective story. If Michael had been convicted they would have arrested him right after the verdict was read so how would Jermaine have flown him to Bahraine - broke him from prison? I don't even want to talk about it.
