Toya Jackson. La Toya Jackson about the last days of Michael Jackson's life and what happened after his death

La Toya Jackson, sister of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, has made an unusual statement. Western publications even call him strange and extraordinary. 55-year-old La Toya Jackson took part in the program “The Talk”, where they talked about her new book - an autobiography called “Starting Over”. In it, the singer also talks about her family life with Jack Gordon - when the conversation turned to him, La Toya made a confession.



It turns out that Jackson not only suffered from the fact that her husband raised his hand to her. Gordon once offered boxer Mike Tyson $100,000 to have sex with La Toya: “Mike Tyson told my mother and father and several other friends that Gordon told him that if he wanted to sleep with me, he had to pay $100,000 dollars." He also forced her into group sex against her participation, and also forced her to pose for Playboy magazine twice. At the same time, she forced everyone to assure that it was her personal idea. La Toya was forced to listen to her husband because she was afraid that he would kill her. In addition, Jack hated and despised La Toya's brother Michael. The singer also wrote about her legendary brother in the book, or rather devoted a significant part of the publication to The King of Pop, her relationship with him and his death. La Toya with ex-husband Jack Gordon:

The fifth child in the illustrious Jackson family, La Toya Jackson was born in 1956 in Gary, Indiana. She grew up very shy, was known as a homebody, and when the mother of the family, Katherine, converted to Jehovah's Witnesses, she willingly followed her. LaToya's younger brother Michael followed, and soon the children were knocking on neighbors' doors every morning, actively encouraging them to join their church. At the age of sixteen, LaToya joined her brothers and began participating in shows where her job was to sing along and dance. The girl herself would prefer to become a lawyer, however, her father was adamant - show business had already been chosen as the Jackson family business. Father Jackson kept his children strict, sometimes developed musical talents forcibly and, judging by the results, this method of “raising stars” turned out to be effective. So, after studying a little in college, LaToya was forced to leave her studies - concerts took up a lot of time.

In the seventies, LaToya, along with her sisters Rabbit and Janet, appeared in all twelve episodes of the CBS television project “The Jacksons.” She sang, danced, performed sketches and turned out to be no less talented than the other Jackson children. Later, along with her sisters, LaToya became a member of the family's women's group, however, the LaToya-Janet-Rabby trio quickly fell apart, undermined by irreconcilable differences, without leaving history with any significant evidence of its existence.

In the eighties, LaToya Jackson released her first solo album, La Toya Jackson. She wanted to omit her last name from the title and leave only her first name on the album cover, taking it as a creative pseudonym - the girl really wanted to do something on her own, without relying on her family. However, the father again did not allow his zealous daughter to act arbitrarily, reminding her that she should be proud of her last name, and not hide it. However, the surname “Jackson” was already really working for itself, and LaToya, like all the children of the “star family,” only increased the overall fame. The album was expected to be a moderate success - it did not “blow up” the charts, however, and did not go completely unnoticed. The next studio work - the album "My Special Love" - ​​repeated the fate of the first. It should be noted that LaToya Jackson never managed to produce any particularly significant musical solo projects. However, individual compositions from time to time reached quite high positions in the charts - the songs “If You Feel the Funk”, “Night Time Lover”, “Bet”cha Gonna Need My Lovin”, “Heart Don”t Lie”, “Hot Potato” " and several others became quite popular.

It is noteworthy that in 1988, LaToya still managed to “disown” his great surname - the title of the album of that year contains only the modest “La Toya”. Although, by that time, this was unlikely to confuse anyone, and therefore could be regarded as some kind of “star” whim.

In 1987, Jack Gordon was hired as LaToya's manager, and it was from that time that the singer's image began to change - she became more and more sexy. The amazing metamorphoses that occurred with the chaste and shy LaToya shocked many, especially her family. Sexuality, which has now become the main definition of her stage image, attracted a huge number of fans to Jackson. So, it turned out that “undressed LaToya” turned out to be somewhat more attractive than “singing LaToya”. The singer’s breasts received a special discussion – there were different opinions about whether the breasts were a gift from Nature or a gift from the “golden hands” of a plastic surgeon. All this led to a scandal in the family, and the girl moved to New York. In 1989, LaToya posed nude for Playboy; in the same year, another album was released under the controversial title “Bad Girl”.

In September 1989, Gordon married LaToya, however, it was not a marriage in the real sense of the word - the singer herself stated that the marriage took place against her will. For the next decade, Jack Gordon, according to LaToya herself, was the complete master of her life, maintaining his power sometimes by cunning and sometimes by direct violence. Documents, accounts, contracts, as well as all professional activities of LaToya were in the hands of her husband. However, LaToya decided to openly tell some details about her life with Gordon only after his death in 2005. She reflected all this, and much more, in her autobiographical book, La Toya: Growing Up in the Jackson Family. And then, having finally returned to the bosom of the family and making peace with her parents, LaToya launched the divorce process, which turned out to be protracted and quite painful. For some time, LaToya found herself completely out of the rhythm of life; she spent a lot of time alone, trying to decide where to continue her life and career. The last music album released by the singer was dated 1995, there was uncertainty ahead, and LaToya no longer believed in her talent.

However, time heals, and members of the Jackson family were able to forgive her for the scandalous attacks (on the family in general and on Michael in particular) in the press and did not leave her alone. Appearances began on television, in shows and all kinds of near-musical projects. So, in 2007, LaToya took part in the show “Armed & Famous”, and later, in 2009, in the most popular project “Celebrity Big Brother”. By the way, she turned out to be the second family member to take part in this show.

In the terrible days after the death of her brother Michael, it was LaToya Jackson who was the first to be admitted to the Reagan-UCLA Medical Center hospital; she was also the initiator of a re-investigation of the strange circumstances of his death, and was also the first to doubt her brother’s natural death.

La Toya Jackson is another victim of plastic surgery overdoing. The sister of the famous singer, the idol of all times, Michael Jackson, has recently horrified journalists with changes in her appearance. We regret to note that another woman has fallen victim in the pursuit of an ideal appearance. But first things first.

How does La Toya Jackson live?

La Toya Jackson was born on May 29, 1956 in Indiana, USA. She became the fifth child in a large family. Star Brother was born later. All members of the large family were gifted with an excellent ear for music and a wonderful voice.

That is why, since the age of 16, La Toya Jackson has been successfully participating in a family musical group and the same talk show. After the collapse of this family enterprise, each of its members began a solo career, but unlike Michael, La Toya Yvonne Jackson did not reach Olympic heights in creativity. After working as an ordinary singer and realizing that she was swallowing dust from her brother’s success, she quit singing. After marrying her producer, La Toya Jackson moved away from her family. Her envy and resentment towards her successful brother was so black that at trial she testified against him in a pedophilia case. Now she travels around the world with stories about the deceased star, the legendary Michael Jackson.

How La Toya Yvonne Jackson has changed

La Toya Yvonne Jackson in her youth had a specific bright appearance with obvious African-American roots. A wide nose, large facial features, and naturally curly hair can now be seen only by looking at the early photos of La Toya Jackson. Because after a fierce battle with her own appearance, the latter fell under the sharp scalpel of plastic surgeons.

• Mentoplasty. One of the first procedures that La Toya Jackson decided on was changing the shape and size of her chin. The photos before and after the first change differ significantly. The woman thought her own chin was heavy and unattractive. After plastic surgeons worked their magic on the lower part of her face back in the late 80s, it became noticeably sharper, but only towards the tip, and the rest of it spread out, making her face very reminiscent of the face of a lady’s pet pug.

• Correction of cheekbones. Like many other Hollywood stars, La Toya Jackson took the trouble to get cheek implants. This caused the face to noticeably widen and the skin on the cheekbones to tighten. Looking at what La Toya Jackson looks like after surgery, you can see that her face is similar to the face of her husband, who returned in the morning, on whom his wife’s heavy frying pan worked. A flattened face is the result that La Toya Jackson achieved after plastic surgery.

• Skin whitening. Many people simply cannot be happy and appreciate what nature has given them. La Toya Yvonne Jackson in her youth was beautiful in the image of a luscious mulatto, but the pursuit of illusory beauty ruined her.

• Facial contouring. Former singer La Toya Jackson regularly injects special gels into her face, which definitely resembles an Indian ritual mask, to fill out small and large wrinkles. From such drugs, wrinkles disappear for a while, but the effect of a cracked face remains.

• Breast augmentation. Everyone's favorite mammoplasty did not ignore La Toya Yvonne Jackson. The woman did not go overboard with the enlargement.

La Toya Jackson, after surgery, is proud of her luscious size 4 breasts. Many of the star’s outfits openly demonstrate her feminine charms, and from the photo of La Toya Jackson it is clear that she takes care of correcting the shape of her breast implants, keeps them like the apple of her eye and sticks them out at every opportunity.

• Lip correction. And everything would have been fine, and everyone could have been understood and forgiven by loving fans and ubiquitous journalists, if not for one “but.” This very “but” was one of the last lip correction operations. La Toya Jackson, after plastic surgery, smiles and terrifies her interlocutors. Either there were many operations, or the star’s desires were so sophisticated to the point of disgrace - the root cause of the nightmare is unknown to us.

But the former singer’s mouth appears to be torn and bent 2-3 centimeters on each side, and there is a strange notch in the middle of her lower lip. In appearance, the lower lip resembles a homemade sausage tied with twine. “Joker smile” is the name given to the result of unsuccessful lip surgery. With smiles like La Toya Jackson’s, fans are also “dazzled” by many other hunters for the ideal appearance.

It’s sad to admit, but after all the changes, the former juicy dark-skinned beauty La Toya Jackson turned into a lifeless doll. And not into the beloved Barbie, but into a certain defective Nina doll, which was molded at a provincial rubber products factory.

I read La Toya’s book “Living with the Jackson Family” (or “Michael Jackson through the eyes of his sister” 1993, Moscow, “InterDigest.”) I had sad feelings after reading it, especially after the final part. Luckily, La Toya has reconciled with her family. Of course, the book should be read only if you are able to separate the “wheat from the chaff” and have read other books written by the Jacksons. In general, La Toya's book is a confession of a child offended by everyone. In any family there are some moments of misunderstanding; you can remember the positive things about your household, but from our point of view, not much. Any situation can be presented in different ways. Of course, I agree that if a person is already an adult, there is no need for parents to take such care of him in terms of building his personal life. Or, at least, only advice. But it must be taken into account that La Toya was from a famous family, and according to her own words, she did not have much experience in relationships with the opposite sex until she was quite mature. Of course, you can’t tell your heart, but often over the years, children can understand that their parents were right when expressing an opinion about someone. At the same time, of course, there is also banal parental jealousy and judgments based on these feelings. But in this case, I think La Toya realized how wrong she was in running away from home, about her companion. Besides, it would be okay if only the parents were indignant, but the brothers and sisters were not happy either.
In fact, I think she just wanted to annoy everyone, like a capricious girl, in order to draw more attention to herself. To run away so that everyone would love and miss her even more. This is evidenced by the last chapters about how upset she was that Germain turned her room into a warehouse, and her mother allegedly removed photographs of her from the room.

Almost the entire book is occupied by stories not about La Toya herself, but about what a rash dad and the others got it too. And of course, this is more revenge for the reluctance to accept her man, as well as the direct pressure of this far from the most decent person. I don’t think you should believe all of this; a lot of it is clearly exaggerated and embellished. For example, the story that Joseph allegedly forced his brothers to fight each other in front of his eyes as a child. Most likely, since Joseph did a little boxing, he simply showed his sons techniques. In addition, one of Jackie’s sons was also involved in it at one time. Or here is one of the passages about suffering in childhood: “After having breakfast, getting dressed, brushing our teeth, we lined up like tin soldiers. Mom checked our teeth, and Joseph followed her, as if on an inspector's check, and gave each of us a spoonful of fish oil and castor oil. And for a snack, an apple for each of us, as a consolation prize for the drugs we swallowed.” And at the same time, she writes: “Joseph did not fulfill his dream of becoming a professional musician, but he did not force his sons to go on stage for his own gain. We must not forget that he exposed himself to great risk by leaving his job at the factory. This was his only opportunity to prove his love for children. Although the boys' childhood was not as carefree as that of their friends, they loved performing, and their parents supported them in this hobby. And for this my brothers are grateful to them now. Now, in their glory, they hold no grudge against Joseph for being too harsh in his treatment of them.” “ Some music magazines practically lived off them. They reached out to fans, and month after month, page after page, they covered the boys' lives: their likes and dislikes, their color photographs, their horoscopes and pages of advice for female readers under the motto: “What would you do if you met one of the five Jacksons? Each of them had their own image: Jackie had a sporty appearance, Tito was a serious, calm and virtuoso musician, Jermaine was the sexual symbol of the group. Marlon is the little younger brother, and Michael played the child prodigy.”
At the same time, I wouldn't say that La Toya is that bad. It feels like she really loves her family. It seems to me that she just needed to expand her social circle. She is a nice girl and has few friends. And of course, she believed the first person who told her about selfless love, and that was what she lacked.

You can learn some interesting things in the book. Some stories about Michael are not far-fetched, interesting: “Michael and I were very interested in history and found films based on historical subjects. The walls in Michael's room were lined from floor to ceiling with bookshelves. He had a variety of books: philosophical works, biographies of great people... He probably knew about all the great artists and inventors who ever lived on earth. Many people thought Michael was childish, but I want to argue. It is true that he managed to retain a ray of childish charm in himself. He is full of curiosity. For example, he was interested in anatomy, and he bought himself exactly the same plastic model of the human body that we are used to seeing in biology classrooms. He carefully studied the structure of the human body in his room.
“We have vocal cords, we can speak, but a monkey doesn’t.” Why? La Toya, do you think it's possible to teach a monkey to talk? Reading medical literature, Michael became interested in various physiological anomalies and could talk for hours about Siamese twins and amphibian humans. Upon learning of his interest in such unfortunate creatures, the press maligned him, calling Michael a sickly eccentric. But, like most value judgments about his personality, this was incorrect, since it did not reveal the true reasons for such an unusual hobby. This was not blasphemy. I can say with complete confidence: like our mother, being very sensitive, Michael could not tolerate human suffering in any form. The sight of a hungry African child on the TV screen gave him reason to cry. “ “I get angry when people laugh at Michael for being interested in such people: he feels sorry for them, he doesn’t mock them. People don't understand this.
“Just imagine the life of these people,” he said with sadness in his voice. “It must be terrible to have everyone staring at you.” Everyone wants to be different from everyone else, but it hurts the same for everyone.
I understand why Michael felt so much for these people: to be a star means to turn into a showcase for other people, which everyone stares at.”
Michael said about the same thing in one of his interviews - that he loves to study and learn. He talked about how interested he was in anatomy and how he was impressed by the tragic story of Joseph Merrick.

La Toya also wrote about her brother: “Meanwhile, Michael the superstar attracted more and more women who were worried about his fame and money. For a long time now, I have harbored the fear that women love not the man Michael Jackson, but his image as a superstar. My brother shares this difficult fate with all celebrities, but since he has too little experience in communicating with the opposite sex, it is even more difficult for him than for others. As a joke, I suggested that he marry a woman who is as famous as him, or one who has never heard of him.”
It’s touching how La Toya writes about her fans among the stars, about their signs of attention to her, and that at the same time she did not particularly react to them. In particular, Prince, Mike Tyson, a funny story with Iglesias, Eddie Murphy tried to get attached to La Toya. At the same time, La Toya also writes about the unpleasant sides of show business. Some of it was really creepy to read. But La Toya is great, the man has good self-control.
In general, the book rather reflects a difficult stage in La Toya’s life and, of course, is not an impartial and complete biography.

In 2011, La Toya wrote a new book, her biography “Starting over,” in which a lot of space is devoted to memories of Michael. Also, La Toya herself refutes much of her previous book, which she wrote under pressure from Jack Gordon. According to La Toya, she almost forcibly married him; the pictures for Playboy were also taken under his pressure. She was afraid that he might do something to her if she refused. Relatives repeatedly tried to “steal” her from Gordon, but they did not succeed soon. Yes, and Gordon was beginning to cross all boundaries in his demands, and for her the only way out was to return to the family and divorce this not the most decent person.
The family supported La Toya, the whole past was forgotten. By the way, Michael also actively tried to help his sister. He even offered a considerable amount of money in exchange for refusing to write the book. Naturally, he offered it to Gordon, and not to La Toya, as it is written in the book. Having learned about the candid photographs for the magazine, Michael visited the editorial office and tried to prevent their publication. According to La Toya, Gordon hated Michael, of course, because her brother was a very talented and successful person. And Gordon hardly loved her either. I just wanted to somehow get rich and famous by using it.
By the way, La Toya can be seen in several of Michael’s videos, such as “Say, say, say” and “The way you make me feel.” Michael also wanted her to star in “Thriller,” but after the script was approved, it was decided that it was still necessary to cast a non-relative for the role, in order to avoid transferring this role to life, in general, rumors.

53-year-old La Toya Jackson was closer to the King of Pop than anyone. It was she who signed her brother's death certificate. Today La Toya accused Michael Jackson's entourage of murdering the singer. Jackson was forced to sign up for 50 grueling concerts in London. Michael was put on drugs to manipulate his mind. The King of Pop was a "moneybag" who was "used at every turn."
Last week, Los Angeles police said they could not rule out the murder of Michael Jackson. The results of the autopsy by official government agencies will be known only in two weeks. But La Toya had already received the autopsy results from private medical examiners. She does not want to comment on them until the investigation is completed. But she reported that four fresh injection marks were found on Michael’s neck.
“I believe that Michael was killed,” said La Toya, “I felt it from the very beginning!” And this was not done by just one person. It was a conspiracy! He was surrounded by bad people. Michael was a very quiet, calm, loving person. And people took advantage of this. People who weren't always on his side fought to be there for him.
A month ago I said: I think Michael will die before the concerts in London. The environment did not spare him. Michael was worth over $1 billion. When someone is worth a lot of money, there are always a lot of greedy people around him. I told my family a month ago: "He never intended to do this concert in London." But he's worth more dead than alive. Michael believed that he would not live to old age and was afraid that he would die in his sixth decade.
Eventually Michael was isolated from the rest of the family. He had no real friends. He was the loneliest man in the world. I knew something terrible would happen.
Michael was not found in bed, but in a bedroom not far from Conrad Murray's personal physician. In this bedroom there were oxygen tanks and an IV. Murray disappeared at the hospital when Jackson's heart was started using electric shocks.
La Toya also talked about how the children said goodbye to their father. 11-year-old Paris gently, like a garland, entangled his hand with an inexpensive necklace made of colored stones.
The last time La Toya saw her brother alive was three weeks before his death at the celebration of his parents’ 60th wedding anniversary at Michael’s favorite Indian restaurant, Chakra, in Beverly Hills. When she arrived, Jackson was already there with the children.
“He stood at the door and said, ‘Oh, La Toya! You look fabulous!” He was thin, but he ate that night. Michael loved curry. He enjoyed every minute of eating it. In the end he hugged me and said: “We must do it again!” He then walked to the door, turned around and waved goodbye to me. That was the last time I saw my brother alive.
La Toya has had a rough two weeks. It all started with the news of her brother's death and ended with a bitter memorial service. Now she wants to know the truth.
– I'm trying to be strong. I was at home when I found out that Michael was in the hospital. I live three minutes away from him in Beverly Hills. Michael rented a mansion for £60,000 a month. My father called me from Las Vegas and said: “Run to the hospital immediately. Michael is in the hospital!
La Toya immediately called her mother, and her personal assistant told her that her brother was at a medical center in Westwood, a 10-minute drive from his home.
– I jumped into the car, I kept asking my mother’s assistant: “How is he? How is he?”, but he never told me. Finally, I heard my mother in the background: “Who is it?” When my mom found out it was me, she screamed, “Why don’t you tell me?”, grabbed the phone and screamed as loud as she could, “He’s dead!”
I almost crashed. My legs didn't obey me. I couldn't press the gas pedal. I approached the hospital from the wrong entrance. And I asked the guards to help me, because I was so weak that I was ready to faint. They took me to the department where Michael was. His mother and his children were crying there. I screamed, “Is this true?” And mom said: “Yes, he’s gone.” I couldn't stop crying. I screamed and the children screamed. My mother was sitting and all three of them were sitting on her lap and crying together.
Paris demanded to be shown her father one last time. Doctors said that this would help the children realize that dad is dead. With Paris, her brothers, and Michael's brother Randy, we entered a small room where Michael lay, still warm to the touch. He had a towel over his face. I picked it up, the kids saw daddy and Paris said, “Oh, daddy! I love you!"
We hugged and kissed him, the children took his hand. He didn't look dead. His eyes were half open, as if he was sleeping. He wasn't cold.
The children screamed and cried. But after they found themselves in this room and saw Michael, they stopped and calmed down. We prayed for him. I asked, “What do you want to tell dad?” and they told him something personal.
Paris held his hand. We all sat near the bed. His chest was very red from attempts to resuscitate him. I took off the covers so I could see his feet. Everything looked great.
La Toya said reports that Michael was bald and looked terrible without makeup were “lies.”
“He didn’t have any makeup on, but he looked great.” He just looked like Michael.
After a 30-minute goodbye, La Toya signed the death certificate.
Jackson will never be buried at Neverland Ranch, a 2,400-acre estate in Central California.
– Michael hated this place. After his second trial for child sexual abuse, he told me, “I'll never come back here. I hate Neverland. This place helped destroy me!
La Toya says the behavior of Jackson's £100,000-a-month personal doctor, Conrad Murray, at the hospital deeply concerned her. Dr. Murray, who was not a board-certified cardiologist, did not even show up to the family, even though La Toya wanted to see Michael's personal doctor "to find out what the hell happened." It was Paris who told La Toya: “He is the best cardiologist, how could this happen to dad?”
La Toya says she went to the doctor, saying, “I want to talk to you. I want to know what happened to my brother." But he muttered something incomprehensible in response.
“He said something like, 'Michael died, I'm sorry.' This was wrong. It looked fantastic. The doctor later disappeared.
Which only increased La Toya Jackson's fears. Another doctor told her that Michael had marks on his body from fresh injections.
It was previously reported that Jackson was treated for insomnia by intravenous anesthesiology, including Demerol and Diprivan, a drug that is usually never used outside operating rooms.
Police also found two types of prescription-only medications in his home. The investigation intends to present in court the medical reports of the most famous doctors. La Taya says:
- It will all come out. You will be shocked.
The official medical examiner's report should appear very soon. Along with the results of the re-autopsy, which La Toya insisted on. She says:
“We want to sit down and compare these two results before anything is made public.” I suspect what the conclusion will be, but I can't say anything at this stage. Michael has had needle pricks in his neck and arms, most of them in recent weeks. I can't say more because I might hinder the investigation. But I can say that I have not given up my suspicions that Michael was killed.
After returning from the hospital, Jackson's mother Catherine and La Toya received an alarming call from the mansion of the King of Pop. The caller was the star's longtime assistant Michael Amin, a devout Muslim known as Brother Michael.
He said Michael Jackson's self-appointed property manager, Lebanese Dr. Tohm Tohm, had fired all the staff at his Beverly Hills home and the Las Vegas home the King of Pop also rented.
- I want to know how this is? – La Toya asks rhetorically. – Michael died, and all his employees were fired immediately. This haste increased my suspicions.
When she and her manager and close friend Geoffrey Phillips arrived at her brother's house, new security guards were already there.
“I smelled and felt my brother everywhere. I could smell his favorite cologne, Tom Ford's Black Orchid. I entered his bedroom. There was a shirt lying on the floor.
She says Michael was taken to the hospital from Dr. Murray's bedroom, which is across the great hall from his own.
– Michael walked from his room to Dr. Murray’s room. We don't know what happened there. He died alone with the doctor, in his room.
Shortly after lunch, the doctor ran downstairs and shouted to bodyguard Alberto Alvarez to call 911.
La Toya says:
“No one was allowed to go upstairs except Dr. Murray and the children.” Paris told me that even they weren't allowed to be in the room when Dr. Murray gave Michael his "oxygen."
Murray, La Toya said, initially treated Michael on a soft bed and only learned from 911 officials that the procedure had to be done on a hard surface.
– Why, if this man was a cardiologist, was my brother on the bed? Michael died in that room. I was told that the doctor kept telling everyone that he was alive, but Michael Amin saw him and it was clear that he was dead. Along the wall, next to the closet with clothes, there were oxygen tanks. There was an IV. The police were already in the house and seized all the drugs.
Diprivan is always given with oxygen in hospitals. La Toya admits her brother had problems with prescription drugs, which the family believes began after he injured his back in a 1984 accident.
But La Toya insists that his brother’s body was “clean.” In preparation for concerts in England, he drank juice, removed all toxins and cleansed the body.
But Michael never gave 50 concerts at once. He agreed to do 10, but then the patrons and his entourage kept increasing the number of concerts, since tickets for them were selling well.
– Even a healthy person cannot bear so many concerts. And Michael was fragile,” says the singer’s sister. “He always believed in the best in people.” But he was meek. Over the past few months he has been isolated. I believe the staff were given strict instructions: if any family members called, not to say anything. And if he comes, don’t let him in.
This environment did not care about Michael as a person. They were interested in Jacko, like a cash cow and a money bag.
– Michael didn’t keep a very close eye on his finances. A lot of people made a lot of money off of Michael. The last house he rented is a classic example. The rent was supposed to be £15,000 a month, but he paid £60,000 because he was Michael Jackson. We, the family, wanted to intervene in this, tried to influence. But we were not allowed close to Michael. I knew it was going to end horribly. I believe the brother was disconnected from the real world through drugs. They got him hooked on drugs. He was clean, but then the drugs came back into him. I think it shocked his system so much that it killed him.
She says the family will file a civil lawsuit against anyone they deem responsible. Police also intend to file criminal charges:
“I’ll get to the end,” says La Toya Jackson. “I’m not going to stop until I find out who’s to blame.” Why didn't they allow his family to see him? And it's not about the money. I want justice for Michael. I will work without rest until I find out what and who killed my brother!
La Toya was shocked by his brother's work schedule:
“They made him work long and hard. He didn't even have a rest room. Every hour was scheduled. Either a discussion of costume details, or vocal lessons, or rehearsals. Even Paris noticed and told me: “They worked with dad too much. They made him work long and hard." You can't do that to a fragile person. Many people are responsible for this, directly or indirectly. They told him: “Work! Concerts have been booked and tickets have been sold.” And Michael didn't want to let his fans down. His children made him very happy, but he had no real friends. His problem was that he didn't trust people. And in the end he died alone, surrounded by these dark people.
Although Michael regularly kept more than a million dollars in cash at home, La Tuaya says none of it was ever found. There was not a single item from his extensive collection of jewelry:
“Someone came into the house and did a good job there,” La Toya says. “A lot of people visited the house before I got there.”
In the first hours after Michael's death, his sister Janet was so worried that she placed her bodyguards in her brother's house. The sisters intend to preserve the remaining property of the King of Pop for his children.
La Toya says the kids are doing well. They are with grandmother Catherine and nanny Grace Rwarembo. However, the nanny behaves “very suspiciously.”
“The family has mixed feelings about her,” says La Toya. – Mom thinks that the nanny wants to be with the children, but I asked her to be careful. It's not about whether the children love her or not. They love everyone. Mom is just gullible and feels sorry for her.
