Joe Jackson, with “his best interests at heart”, three days after Michael Jackson’s death, didn’t waste any time to be at the red carpet at BET Awards.
Quite frankly, he seemed fairly detached to me.
With all due respect that I reserve for elderly people, that promoting business was out of proportion, out of order, despicable and inappropriate.
Every article coming out about Michael’s life and death does not hide the fact that his father was a brutal disciplinarian, and that Michael’s childhood was an abusive one.
That episode alone showed the whole world what Joe Jackson is about it.
Callous, disrespectful and greedy old man. He is 80 years old for Christ Sake! It was horrifically to watch the detached and abusive old-fart, switching gears, without shame to promote his record company. As I watched it, words fall me.
Michael Jackson-Peaceful be your Next Journey.

I was shocked that Joe Jackson took this opportunity to highlight his record label during an interview regarding the death of his son. I met Mr. Jackson last year at his 80th birthday party which was given to him by Rick Neville, his then business partner. I find the behavior of Mr. Jackson during the interview at the BET Awards to be what I acknowledged when I met him…self-centered and insensitive.

I feel bad for Don Lemon, Mr. Jackson seemed so out of the interview and he really wasn’t even looking at Don Lemon.
