La Toya Jackson: Michael Masking His Children In Public Helped Make Them ‘Balanced Kids’

First Published: June 7, 2012 5:40 PM EDT

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- La Toya Jackson thinks Michael Jackson did a great job raising his three children before his death in 2009 and she commends his controversial decision to mask them when he took them out in public.

“That is the reason why he would mask them, because when they would go out without him, they could do whatever they [wanted] and they had a normal life, which is great,” La Toya told Access Hollywood Live’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover as she promoted the paperback release of her memoir, “Starting Over,” on Thursday

“They got a chance to experience that,” La Toya continued, referring to Blanket, Paris and Prince Michael experiencing normalcy. “And they would go with the nanny [without the masks], nobody knew who they were. But with him, he kept the mask on so people wouldn’t recognize them or know and now they’re very balanced kids, which is great.”

La Toya said she believes had Michael lived, he would have still worked hard to keep his children sheltered.

“Truthfully, I think Michael would have kept them secluded still,” she said. “That’s just the way he was raising them… but my mother felt they needed to be unmasked and they needed to experience life for what it is.

“I just love them all,” La Toya continued. “They’re so great. He’s done a great job and my mother’s doing an incredible job with them.”

She talks more about the kids in the same interview.

I am stunned. This is the way his family should talk about Michael and as him as a father. Maybe more people will understand what he was trying to do.

I'm not sure what I heard, but did she say in that interview that Prince came to her and said he wants to be an actor? I thought Prince wanted to produce movies and direct?
Maybe LaToya got kids mixed up?

She done promoting the Jacksons tour huh. Paris is the news again and she needed some of that attention for herself, I guess. Latoya's words generally lower my IQ by a few notches, and so it did with her calling Michael's job 'great' and Katherine's 'incredible.' 'Cept nothing she says is true.

 

[Petrarose]

Oh please, Latoya should not say what Michael would do with the kids now, because she did not spend enough time with him to gain an insight into his plans for the children. Even what she says here is what Paris said about the mask. If Latoya knew this before 09, she would have said so when people were berating Michael for masking his children. The thing is that if she spent time with Michael she would have noticed that he began unmasking his children a little, and it seems reasonable to suggest that he would have continued this new phase as they grew older.
