I agree with her on that. But why is she writing like a teenager, I mean isn't she approaching 60? :unsure:

Um, quite possibly because she's limited to 140 characters?

Man, you people will find ANY reason to criticize someone you disagree with.
 
Here we go again...some people need to peel their lips from being firmly planted to the Jackson's asses! Sad really...They've turned their attention for MJ onto ANY Jackson, to fill their lonely life...just an observation...Latoya nor any other family members besides Jackie would know what dignity and integrity means..

I find it interesting that the people who were actually around Michael everyday or saw him on a regular basis present him as a strong and healthy person. While people who never had much contact with him and just go by tabloid and gossip present him as weak and this is from people in his own family too. I know people don't like the Cascios but when they were on Oprah the way Michael was shown was great. Normal and strong and funny and someone you wish you got to know. I always thought why can't someone in his family talk about him like that?

I don't think Michael was perfect because nobody is. We are all human and have our problem and issues. That's life. But Michael was in showbusiness for over 40years. When it came to his work I just don't believe he wasn't in control or didn't know what he was doing. He was too smart for that. Michael didn't achieve what he did with not knowing what he was doing. People helped him to make his dreams come true but it was his vision and his work. I am tired of Michael being portrayed as weak. With the trial coming up I don't think his family should be portraying Michael that way. Especially when they admit they were hardly around him. I don't think it's wise to talk about things you really don't know about it. Yes they are his family but I have family that I hardly ever see and there is no way I could say what their lives are really like. I may hear things but it doesn't mean it's the truth.

SOmetimes I think all people should refrain from discussing MJ... Most of the the people who talk about him say different things and those things may come off wrong. There are times when people say things and it comes out in a straight negative or even positive and it isn't meant to be taken that way. That's Why you have to take interviews and soundbites for what they are instead of trying to analyze everything and speculate (not accusing you of it, I'm just saying)

Thank you qbee, that is fair. No, I wasn't addressing any particular member, just letting out my frustration/thoughts. I have to say honestly though, that I'm almost afraid to voice my opinion without someone taking offense to it, if lurking works best, that's what I will do, it's tiring.
 
Back to LaToya, the reason she didn't have that book signing on the 25th, was because she was busy yapping on The Today Show again...saw the clip myself.

Yes it obvious she was using The Anniverasry of her brothers death to SELL and Promote her book and Album.
Rather then do something honorable to remember him. It was no accident she chose this time to promote it ..

It's sad really...Not a one person from that family has done anything honorable since MJ passed, everything has been a total freak show...they're starting to make the O'neals look sane! If anything, she should be ashamed of herself, but one has no shame when thy has no moral compass :wink: I'm beginning to believe LMP when she talked about MJ's plot having no flowers etc. unless the FANS bring/send them, cause it would seem to me, they NEVER visit him, they're too busy USING him...I'm sad to say this, but I think MJ has turned over in his grave a thousand times, from the schemes and no self-respect his "family" has shown.

Hi Romi, I mean no offense, but YES, I DO know what DV can do to someone's mind, I grew up with it, BUT, at what point does an ADULT take some responsibility for the things they do or have done? DV doesn't have LaToya doing what she's doing now, imo, selling books off the back of her brother, in which she admits she barely had contact with AND she only lived 3 min. away it had nothing to do with her writing her first book either...you can only blame someone else for so long before looking in the mirror and seeing those same fingers pointing back at you. IMO, LaToya is making excuses for her habitual lieing.

While my post was intentionally directed to one person. I felt that the other posters post was directed to one person also, they just didnt quote them specifically. You cant tell me that it isnt a MAJOR COINCIDENCE that after a poster said something that went against the norm in of what is said in this thread.... The poster i quoted conviently went on a rant about how people are kissing peoples buts. While they may not have been the sole reason they went on a rant it was part of it

I didnt take offense, and what you said isnt true.. Its your opinion (not saying you said it was true). I will say that I felt it was very awkard that you went on a rant about people kissing JFam buts after a poster said they agreed with LaToya. 99.9% of the post up to that point all had the same veiw, so it would have been awkward for you to even go on a rant like that when mostly everybody in this thread has the same opinion . Thats just how I took your post and that is why I responded the way I did. No hard feelings, and i wasnt trying to start an argument or anything... thats just how I took your post. If you didnt mean it in that way... I apologize

N dont stop staing your opinion just becasue someone (in this case I) didnt agree with what you said. Everytime someone doesnt agree with you its not that they took offense to what you said. They just may not see where you are coming from, the wording of the post may not have stated the point correctly or they just may not agree. Its just that we have to be able to dicuss our differences (which at times can get heated) or agree to disagree. What would a message board be if everybody agreed on everything????? BORING!!!!!

SORRY TO GET OFF TOPIC------------------- :)

To be honest, I am reading her book now and their is an instant where she has taken responsibilty for what she did. She said something like, she could blame him, but as an adult she should have stood her ground and taken the beating. She aslo said something similar on Piers Morgan
 
I thought Joe say in his interview he never knew about the plot to kill MJ until MJ pass,
But latoya say Joe knew,
 
twinklEE said:
It's time to take the gloves off when discussing Latoya and her past, she's never been an innocent character no matter what's being claimed by some, including herself, she's always been more of a wolf in sheep's clothing filled with jealousy and resentment. I stany by my words, and won't take them back.
This is what she was, this is what she'll always be.

Before this book was published I would have disagreed with you... now....

I think she was brainwashed and is incredibly impressionable and easy to manipulate but she wasn't an idiot. She knew when things would benefit her. She understood how successful being the "rebel" in the family was making her.

In her interview recently when asked about whether or not she was really sexually abuse by Joe... she didn't give a straightforward answer. Does she even mention this in her book?

The reason I actually read and believed her first book was because it seemed like she had a level of self awareness and that she was being honest. There was also an agenda there, especially at the end with Jack Gordon, but until that point it seemed truthful. This time it's just 100% agenda and white washing her own story, like she has no interest in trying to understand herself, her brother, her family, her marriage. I sometimes wonder if people like her had to actually sit and take stock of everything that happened in their lives if they'd just collapse from the ugly reality of it all, so she just keeps on talking and talking and making lots of noise so none of it has to catch up with her.

I remember the book Marlon was rumoured to have been interested in publishing in 2005 that never materialized. I think out of all the siblings he would be the only one I'd be really interested in hearing from because I don't believe he's caught up in his own agenda. He supposedly was going to talk about how Joe would steal from them in business, etc. I think when Kath/Joe pass a lot of things will come out.

How sad is it that people who have a platform to really share stories and really reinforce a positive image refrain from doing so all the time because of their own agendas? Why not talk about his innocence from the allegations? His vitiligo? His lupus? How talented he was? Insights into his talents?

Instead just this garbage.

Also another odd thing. She mentions the notes Michael wrote hating Branca. She briefly mentions having an affidavit from a secretary in Branca's firm about his double&triple billing. You have the fact that judge gave Katherine the option to challenge executors. I have to ask why didn't she then? Why wouldn't she march into that court with Branca's firing letter, affidavits against him and Michael's handwritten note that said "I hate Branca"? why not? See these kind of things makes their claims hard to believe.
Click to expand...

There are people who justify it by saying Katherine didn't want to be cut off from the will. But in all their hearings against the estate, Joe's, Randy's, nobody has ever mentioned any of this. Seems like it would be the first thing I would mention and keep mentioning if I believed it.

Reminds me of Paris saying Hollywood Tonight isn't really him, sigh. They're already brainwashed. I just hope it isn't too late for them.

In this interview Latoya says MJ told Joe too about they were gonna kill him for his catalog. o_O But, Joe himself says MJ didn't tell him anything. He said he only found out later through Dieter and Katherine after MJ pased that MJ said those things.

You know, it's the sad reality they don't visit him unless they call up the paparazzi first, anounce it on Twitter, inforum Radar Online, TMZ, etc like Randy does
OR
Take a long a camera crew for some crappy interview or reality show, like Jermaine does.

It's sad but it's the way it is.
 
Today is the one week anniversary of LaToya's new book. Amazon has the book listed at 2,365 on their book list.

Happy Birthday, Starting Over! LOL

It "appears" that there are A LOT of folks who just ain't buying what Miss LaToya is selling. Just saying!
 
Is it ok for others to write a book about MJ, for example the Cascio guy? Why is it not ok when the family does?

who said it's okay? One difference is he actually was close to Michael. Other than that it's all about the content I think. if he writes something bad about Michael I'm pretty sure he'll be criticized heavily for it.

I think it all depend on the contents. Frank Cascio's book is not out yet. If he also write something that's obviously made up or speculating in certain way. I believe people would for sure criticize it harshly. Look what happened to the tree Cascios tracks in the album. I don't think people would give pass to the Cascios. On the other hand, the Cascios are actually way closer to MJ then his own family.

Don't you know why by now? Because the fans don't approve of the family. Anyone who talks about Michael has to have the approval of the fans in order to be taken seriously. It's an unwritten rule anyone named Jackson is to be dismissed as money-grubbing and greedy.
