MICHAEL AND JANET JACKSON BONDED OVER HATRED FOR DAD
MICHAEL JACKSON and his younger sister JANET bonded as children over a shared loathing of their father JOSEPH.
The King of Pop, who died in June (09), spoke openly about his troubled childhood at the height of his fame, recalling the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father.
And during taped interviews with his friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach between 2000 and 2001, the singer reveals Janet shared the same feelings of hostility towards their dad - and the siblings admitted to one another they wouldn’t mind if he died.
Jackson told Boteach, "I’ll never forget this… I would say, ‘Janet, shut your eyes.’ She’d go, ‘OK, they’re shut.’ I would say, ‘Picture Joseph in a coffin. He’s dead. Do you feel sorry?’ She would go, ‘No.’ "That’s what we would do to each other as kids, we would play games like that. She’d go - she’d go, ‘Nope,’ just like that. And that’s how hateful we were. I go, ‘He’s in the coffin, he’s dead - would you feel sad? Would you feel sorry?’ and of course she goes, ‘Nope,’ just like that. That’s how angry we were with him. And I love him today, but he was hard."
