Then here, the pics after Jack Gordon banged her head on a table in 1990:
Then La Toya breaking down in tears during this 1991 interview:
In April 1993, Jack Gordon called the police himself because he beat her so badly he thought she was dead.
Some pictures from the police report when La Toya filed for divorce in 1996:
In 1994, the FBI discovered Jack Gordon was involved with the mafia. He was the main suspect in two murder cases in the 70s and in one attempted murder in the 80s. He threatened to kill her, Michael and Janet. Even Jerome Howard said he threatened to kill him:
“Gordon threatened my life when I questioned him about some major expenses he and La Toya were running up on Joe’s account. The man is dangerous. But La Toya feels Joe is the dangerous one. “Do you know my father?” she once asked me. “No, you don’t,” she answered for me. “You don’t know what he’s like. You don’t know what I’ve been through.”
La Toya ran away with Jack Gordon thinking he would free her from her father's control, and she ended up in a situation even worse, that's what happened.
