Hardly "Dad of the Year" if the Jackson kids claims are anything to go by.
I recall him on Louis Theroux (a truly dire interviewer) and saw Joe for what he was, a two-bit hustler taking money off poor stars-in-their-eyes dreamers, saying he saw real talent in them and could put them in touch with the right people "for a fee".
One messed up family.

When I read the thread title I thought it was the British singer who did 'Is She Really Going Out With Him?'.

Not exactly a good role model for a father. The only time I felt sorry for Michael was when I read about the abuse he suffered as a child from his father. All he could see from his children were $ signs.
I won't be adding RIP to the thread title.

When I read the thread title I thought it was the British singer who did 'Is She Really Going Out With Him?'. Me too! Then I thought, ‘hang on - he couldn’t have been that old, surely?’ Happy that it wasn’t him at least. |

The British Joe Jackson is 63 and thankfully still with us.

He clearly terrified Michael, who admitted wetting the bed in fear at 14 because of his father.
I'm with mias, no RIP epitaph from me either.

Surely he must have done something right, but to get all this kids and none of them coming out as a banker or a lawyer or one of those professions to have the other siblings. He really was a hustler making money from his kids. I remember he even encouraged his kids to use Michael as an ATM. That's not right! My generation used to laugh at Michael for his mess up and sometimes I think Joe never prepared him for that.
I don't think Joe isn't going to get any decent rest.
