I'm all for forgiveness but honestly I don't think it's a good idea to include singers, musicians who actually believed Michael was a child molester in the tribute.

La Toya Jackson thinks a lot of Michael Jackson haters have had a change of heart since her brother died -- but it's unclear whether she's including Gene Simmons in that group.

You'll recall KISS got dropped from the upcoming MJ tribute concert in part because Gene has said he believes Michael was a child molester.

This weekend in Bev Hills we asked La Toya if she thought the concert should be off limits to artists who disrespected Michael. Her answer is all about forgiveness ... but are you buying it?
 
It's not LaToya's place to forgive those who talked badly about Michael - especially with her history.

Also, to forgive someone that person should first ask for forgiveness and admit he was wrong.

You can't honour Michael with artists who called him all kind of horrible names.

I agree:agree:
 
Latoya is apart of this money making scam.her company was involved from the get go.of course she has to come up with an excuse for the feck up.and instead of admitting u fecked up she tries to justify it. Pathetic.
 
Michael forgive her because she was his sister, part of the family. I think Michael did it for Katharine. I don't think he'd forgive each and all who blamed and hate him. Of course he tryed to change that minds but there was so much lies around him and it hurt him badly. La Toya can't tell about forgiviness refering to Michael! I guess it's her another try to justify herself
 
If Gene Simmons did an interview where he said that he was wrong, and gave an explanation (like he was jealous of Michael's close relationship with Diana Ross and his success in the music industry, lol), then I can see why people might forgive him. However, I don't think he's done any of that. I'm not aware that he's shown any signs of remorse. So, why would anyone forgive him?

IDK, maybe I'm just not a forgiving person, but I generally don't forgive people if I have a reasonable expectation that they'll do the exact same thing tomorrow if given the chance. If Gene did an interview tomorrow, and the interviewer asked him about Michael, what would he say? I think he would say the same horrible stuff he said before.
 
A tribute is suppose to be a happy thing. It should include people who have respect and admiration for the person the tribute is for. If Michael had a disagreement with someone but the respect and love was there that is different. But Gene Simmons thinks Michael is guilty and said so. Where did he say he was wrong? Nowhere. The fact he was willing to do the tribute shows what kind of person he is. I don't want hypocrites and people who didn't care about Michael doing a tribute for him. He deserves better than that. Latoya as his sister should know and want that for him. But to some people money is more important than respect.
 
Exactly.u can only forgive someone who admits what they did was wrong and asks for forgiveness. Toya is nothing but a *&%/+ thats her excuse for the feck up of asking him in the first place.they had no clue about what he had said so shes back tracking with her pathetic excuse rather than admitting the mess up they have made.its called damage control of the worse kind
 
She is an idiot....just like Michael said.

Gene Simmons called MJ names AFTER he passed. That woman is the lowest of the low...
 
Like others have said, he didnt ask to be forgiven. And it's easy for La Tonta to forgive someone who has an opinion she once shared. And maybe she still does share for all we know.
Honestly, I dont think she cares who sings at that show as long as she gets attention and her check.
 
:wtf:

Did he really call her an idiot? That's funny.

I think she just want to cover herself. But seriously, what Gene S. said was wrong and cruel, but what La Toya did to his own brother was worst. Gene is a stranger, La Toya was his sister. She said Michael forgave her, but that doesn't remove all the pain she caused him. At least, she had the common sense to be with Michael during the trial and i'm sure Michael was greatful for that, but does she know if that removed the pain Michael felt when she betrayed him?

I thought there was something good in her when I saw Celebrity Apprentice and she did the white cap with the glove which looked really nice. I thought she wanted to do something for him in her own way.on her own way but then, I saw the same cap that was done for the Cirque or for some exposition. It wasn't her idea, she copied it.

She's so messed up that sometimes i wonder if there's really something genetically wrong with the Jacksons--except Michael of course.

I don't understand why Michael didn't kick their behinds and told them to go fry chickens in h..l?
 
LaToya Jackson is just plain clueless! Why the heck does'nt she just STOP trying to speak for Michael? she knows what Michael would want, wouldthink, would do.....jesus!

Somebody please make her stop! so annoying!:wacko:
 
Gene Simmons is not excused and wI'll never be forgiven in my book. He attacked a dead man saying has proof that MJ brought planes filled with boys from Brazile
But what do you expect from the sister of the year…
 
The best way to shut up LaTonta is to have her win a multi-million lottery ticket. Then, she would have no need for Michael and would just shut up and buy some more expensive cars. Unfortunately, I do not have the winning numbers, so we will continue to hear nonsense from her and continue to see her face on TV. It seems the only thing that upsets her is to tell her that she is using Michael's name to make money and she does not have a career. Remember when the letter from the Estate was read that alluded to that, she became upset. Although this is cruel, it may be the only defense we have to shut LaTonta UP. We may have to do that and then tell God we are sorry afterwards.

Even if she were to hit the biggest jackpot ever she wouldn't shut up, cuz yapping about Michael not only helps her feed her stomach, and make a living for herself, but (unfortunately 4 us) also brings her the desired attention, something winning the lottery would never do.

You're right, I forgot about that need to be in the limelight, gain negative attention, and to be perceived as a victim.

I agree with both of you. I think Gene said exactly what he thought of Michael. And I also think the chances of Gene feeling bad about what he said and asking for forgiveness are none. Why does LaToya think that she is in a position to forgive the people who said/have said such nasty things about Michael when she herself has continually thrown him under the bus for the media in one way or another? To me, it always sounds like she is portraying Michael in interviews as either paranoid, irresponsible, stupid, over-sensitive to how his father treated him when he was a child, incapable of raising his own children properly, or all of these at the same time. That's why I personally can't stand to listen to her when she starts going on about Michael. And now she wants to talk about forgiving those people who trashed him? Ridiculous. This is all just my opinion.

^^I agree. She portrays him in such a manner because in her head she is the most level headed, most responsible, able to help people "Start Over," and a star.
 
The only one who can forgive anyone for what they said is in a cemetery in Cali. sorry for being so Blunt but thats the facts.

Latoya is simply doing what she does best and thats playing dumb with every bit of info she has. If's dont count for much now though. Latoya is only doing this to use Michael for her book. Like everyone else. Michael was being used and exploited while alive and now so goes it in death. Gene was wrong for sayin what he did and we all know it. We cant forgive him, Latoya cant forgive him. The only one who can is gone. But KISS being dropped from the "Tribute" concert should show him that his actions will always lead to consequences. Gene is a worthless Manwhore who has nothing to give to anyone anymore. No reason to give him any attention.

Exactly. That's a huge slap in the face to Michael.

Plus, is it really La Toya's place to forgive her brother's haters? I'm not judging La Toya for her little slip up some years ago but she has no business "forgiving" people for Michael, especially those who don't even care to be forgiven. She can forgive them for what they've said ABOUT her brother, but she can't forgive them FOR her brother. Who cares if she forgives them?

What I think is that no hater who's spread malice about Michael can genuinely celebrate him unless they truly are sorry. It's so fake. So, so fake and all for money. When I heard about the Gene Simmons thing, my blood boiled. It's just disrespectful. Just as disrespectful as making Michael's kids go on Oprah. No respect for him at all.
 
Some things, plain and simple, just cannot be forgiven--especially when not an inkling of remorse exists within that person. Forgiveness is not promiscuously bestowed. It is a great honour which must be earned, and few are those who err and are truly worthy of it.

"People who think they can make up their past follies with regret cannot be forgiven." ~Kurama, Elfen Lied
I think that statement holds true, especially when nothing at all has been done to make amends for past actions.
 
Putting it in simple terms - she's saying 'Please forgive all the c**k ups and get out there and buy tickets to the 'tribute''.
