Why Is Joe Jackson Laughing?

Joe Jackson hat denim necklace africa jesse jackson michael jackson death king of popWhile we don't begrudge anyone who's lost a loved one the right to smile, isn't it more than a bit inappropriate for Michael's dad to be making such a public display so soon after the death of his son?

We just had to ask...



Of course, people mourn in all different ways, but really?

That guy is a big friggin' psycopath if you ask me, but then again..look around you: everybody SAYS they are sooo devastated, when they don't give a shit. They just care about themselves. This world is a horrible place.

Maybe he's recalling a nice memory of Michael. Nothing wrong with that. Trust me it's his son and I'm sure he's sad.

Jesse and Joe are laughing at how much of Jacko's assets they will be cashing in on.

i couldn't even fathom losing a child
i already lost someone in my life
and he meant the world to me
this is a nervous laugh
or an in denial laugh
not a real laugh

Oh come on now, please don't tell someone how they are "supposed" to act after someone they loved dies. You are not in his shoes, you do not know how he feels.



Posted by: Anonymous

wow! I can't believe some of the comments, unless you were phisically there listening to what those 2 were saying you shouldn't judge. If you have ever lost a loved one you know you can't be sad all the time



Posted by: M

What's so terrible is that he probably doesn't care...other than to reap the benefits of whatever money might be left over in his passing. Why do you think he is so interested in keeping his three children? Michael most likely left everything (if there is anything) to them, so Joe wants to be able to squander, manipulate and abuse that just like he did to his own children. I blame much of Michael's mental problems and those of his siblings on Joe. He was an abuser. What a jerk.



Posted by: Anonymous

He's a callous, cold, mfer....just like he's always been....the very least that he could do is keep his bullfrogged bucktoothed big mouth laughing in private.....
and let the rest of us finish crying through our small smiles right now of remembrance for MJ.....
this man is the lowest of the low...
Michaels children should not be allowed anywhere near him! Katherin yes...him no!! But then SHE didn't even have the sense to leave him 50 years ago!



Posted by: Elphie

What a mean spirited picture to post and comment on. Sharing a humorous story is common at wakes and a family get together after the death of a love one. You cry, you laugh, you eat a lot ... you heal. People deal with grief the best they can ... move on X17. Show us something news worthy.

Well he is the father who according to Michael, beat him if he didn't perform. Poor Michael didn't really stand a chance. I was raised by a brutalizing father so I know how much that will destroy a person, especially a person as sensitive as MJ.



Posted by: Anonymous

This is the man who beat the living daylights out of Michael, when he was a child. This wasn't a father, but a tyrant. Many of Michael's problems as an adult orginated from this man who physically and psychologically abused Michael.



Posted by: Anonymous

Micheal said his father made fun of him. There was nothing wrong with Micheal's looks,before he started all that plastic surgery. His father made fun of Micheal's nose especially.And look what happened,Micheal had surgery
after surgery on his nose. My heart is very sad for Micheal. I'am so glad I have so many videos of Micheal's songs
and Concert's. I hope Micheal is at peace.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree. When my father died, it was truly the darkest day of my life. I laughed with friends and family to ease my pain a bit. That is what family and friends are there for, to help ease the pain if only for a moment and let you know they care. Yes I laughed, but I was still dying inside. So so painful

Pricks! X-17 don't YOU think it's inappropriate to be hounding the family of someone who just died? Just had to ask...



Posted by: so what

Hes the one who screwed Michael up in the first place, i sure hope he doesn't get his hands on Michaels three kids, and exploit them for money like he did his own children.

ONLY THING this family cares about is making money off lawsuits. Typical black trash.



Posted by: anonymous

Of coarse Jesse Jacksons there. Is there anything he won't do for publicity? Guess he's hoping for a piece of the pie? Why would anyone here defend Joe Jackson, after all we've heard about him?



Posted by: Anonymous

who the hell are any of you to judge how you are supposed to act when someone dies?! My father is dying literally right now, and my mother and I have cracked a few smiles...sorry, but when you are grieving and going through the process, it helps to relieve the sadness. You don't know what his relationship was like with his dad towards the end, and yes he was a jerk, but maybe he forgave him. Obviously Joe Jackson came from an abusive household, and it was a cycle of abuse that hopefully has stopped. My husband was abused and has forgiven his father, comes a time to let it go...and I hate to say it, there ain't gonna be a lot of money left after he pays off his debt. Stop judging this family.

the first announcement will be that the people that own neverland are going to turn it into a 'graceland' style place.......to be honest I don't think MJ wanted to live anymore.......he didn't want to go back to work........he was forced because of his debt......which was his own fault......
how he did well who really knows but he will be worth more dead............just like elvis............

I don't think Joseph was the best, however, Michael had evolved into something totally different (odd) than anyone could imagine, especially his parents. Joe probably grieved his loss a long time ago.

They just want his money! Joe Jackson raised his kids from day one to be cashcows, and now he's hit the jackpot!

Michael's not dead. i think it's just a prank which would be part of his big return in showbiz. He'll probably show up on stange during a show like..."I gotcha mf'ers!!". that's what i think anyway. I really hope i'm right.

Well I have to say he was one of the main reasons Michael turned out to be a tortured soul. He used his small children profit.

And how is it a "public display"? you are the ones who intrude on private property and space. And for all you a-holes that are saying his dad is going to "cash in" now...did you read Michael Jackson's will? Seems to me there are numerous other siblings who are not messed up. What destroyed Michael were the parents of the "alleged" children he was said to have molested. They took blood money after being irresponsible enough to allow sleepovers at his house. If my son was molested, I certainly wouldn't settle out of court for money. How come all the celebrity young boys who hung out with him ie: emmanuel lewis, macauly colkin, and corey feldman claim there was nothing inappropriate? MAybe because they already had money and fame. Shame on all the parents who took money from him!

I lost my mother, my father and my stepdad all within a very short period of time. I laughed at the completely wrong moments, I laughed from lack of sleep due to my despair.... I cried so hard in private I could not cry at the funerals or when others would. Please do not judge. The hardest part was watching others judge me for my lack of crying.... all that was expected of me from those that were never in my shoes. I still feel hurt from the lack of understanding.

There is no normal way to grieve, and I've been throught it many times. I also have to say if you watch your loved ones slowly die through cancer... or through self hurt, addiction after a while you feel almost numb from grieving already for so long. You become almost disconnected for self preservation.

Your site should also allow right click for spell check.... anyways loves you!



Posted by: Dont Get Me Started!

X17 HEARTLESS!!! Maybe he was laughing at a fond memory. I know it may seem weird but when My kids grandfather died we did infact laugh and laugh alot as the memories flowed! Thats just what is taking place here dont judge the man too harshly... this for peats sake was his son. The man has his flaws but he would not be even close to Michaels kids if he hadn't changed over the years.. Laughfter is how some people coap! Leave the Family alone let them mourn in their own way!!!



Posted by: Till You wake..

We were sitting in the funeral home for my husbands uncles'funerala few years ago.. .Every one was crying, I sat way back as I have a strange fear of dead bodies.. ( it a germ-a-phobe thing ) Well it was quiet all you could hear was sniffling every one was sitting with their heads down... suddenly the silence was shattered by a loud booming sound... The sound of one of my husband's younger cousins' farting it was so loud it felt as if the place shook.. slowly you could see the bodies of everyone sitting in the pews start to shake as the laughfter exlpoded out we could not stop laughing ! The poor kid was embarrassed.. We still tell that story.. it was real funny and I think we needed a good laugh!! There now tell me we were laughing at an inopertune time X17! People grive in difrent way.. SHUT UP and let this family be!!! Much love and strength and support to Michaels Family... We all look forward to seeing him again in the New System... Where he will be well and not sickly at all!!
Much love and respect Michael Jackson... Sleep well!!!

I agree with anonymous, June 27, 2009 12.14pm

If you weren't there you shouldn't judge. I agree that Michael's father was very horrible to him in his growing up years but we dont know how things were recently before his passing. we all need to do our homework and listen better and follow the news to see the outcomes and annalize carefully what you read in the media as some of it is 'hyped up' for publicity. this is also what caused alot of anguish to Michael's life....may he rest in peace!! which I feel he is not suffering anymore.....we all have lots to learn from his life and experiences....we all need to re-examine our way of thinking and behaving....life is too short!! Michael was a unique person who gave so much to the world, not only his unique talent of song and dance but a huge unique character (who was rebelous to the way society behave and think, which got him into trouble) he had an innocent child like attitude....since he didnt have a childhood, he wanted it as an adult and share what he could with children. Yet many adults were quick to judge his actions......it will be interesting in the future when more issues and the truth will come out eventually as everyone has a soul and a conscience no matter how much they try to suppress it....what brings it out is that eventually we all have to leave this world......I hope that if it was true that Michael Jackson was totally innocent of the allegations that ruined his life, those people involved who started all media hype will be able to deal with their own future lives.

Just shut the hell up. Trashy media is always looking for something to start gossip about. Thank God he is alert and able to support the family. He may not have been an ideal Dad, But it was his son, so go microscope someone else. PAnts



Posted by: DJ

It's not only his hysterical laugh, he's feeling really good, interacting with the press, giving thumbs up. Who has time for all this when your heart if full of pain? You can clearly see how Michael felt towards his father when in the video of him going to court in pajamas and feeling very sick, instead of grabbing on to his father's arm on his left, he grabs on to a security guard on his right. When someone is so grief stricken, yes we may smile with fond memories, but a hysterical laughter and thumbs up? All that was missing was a little dance! What a horrible man!



Posted by: Amanda

Posted by: NE-C

The world is too too short and there is no real love in people in this day and age. It's about that old mighty dollar. That's to bad that a great person is gone now, and that's sad, because the media judged him. Now he's still being judged,let him rest. It should be a law passed that when people dead the media or anyone can't say a damn thing bad about you. This is why the world is in trouble now, because of sick and hateful people.I think micheal had so many different faces is, because the world also had many faces and a mirror that judged him. I love you MJ and R.I.P

I think the last place those children need to be is with this maggot! Michael changed because he wanted to look nothing like his abusive father!! I seriously doubt those children will be allowed to stay with the grandparents! Either Janet, the nanny or Debbie Rowe needs to step up and take all three of them. Anyone else, is just in it for the money!! I just can't imagine a judge granting permanent custody to the man who abused & slave drove his kids into fame, like it or not.

Michael, you are truly loved & missed and will forever live in our hearts. Your beautiful children will miss you more than anyone, but will always remember & love you as you loved them.

RIP

I am sure MJ never expected this to happen so soon. It's the money they want and the royalties, not the children. I mean look at his father here laughing his head off!! I mean come on.... is he in it for promoting his own business or honoring his son? Promoting his own business of course!!! He needs to be in jail!!

When people are in shock their reactions are often extreme and dramatic. Jesse might have reminded Joe of some funny tidbit and his reaction may have been over the top due to extreme stress and grief. Joe wasn't a great guy, we know that. But this photo doesn't tell the whole story.

And I love how everyone believes Michael about the abuse, but Joe was never convicted. But most of you don't believe the kids about Michael. Which is it? yeesh.



Posted by: chris

No the photo DOES tell the whole story. When interviewed at the BET awards about how he's holding up, he told the reporter that he's "Great!" and then went on to pimp his new record company. The guy is scum.



Posted by: Kristy

I believe people handle grief in different ways, sometimes privately and sometimes it hits people later.

However, (based on Michael's account in video interviews) I do believe Joe was an abusive monster who exploited his own children (the Jackson 5/Michael) for financial gain. Yes, he helped create a better future for the family then they otherwise likely would have had, but at what price? Michael's childhood fear of his father manifested in his life in tragic ways, however Michael's genius and love for humanity could not be repressed.

I recently read that until his death Michael had paying the mortgage for his parent's house. If true, that means he probably helped support them the span of his entire life career. In some ways, it appears Joe is trying to attach himself to Michael's spotlight to further exploit. Joe is a pathetic man who deserves little, if no credit for the shining star Michael became. Michael's character stood far above that of his father and he will be remembered for the gifts he gave the world.

African American middle/upper class still have not learned any etiquette. Father of the deceased to laugh as if he was father of the bride is almost tabu in sophisticated society or back in Africa!
Yes, there will be a celebration of life but you can't be laughing that way before the actual ceremony.

Someone must have missed how he casually, and with a smile responded to question about plans -- he goes we are waiting for the second autopsy -- with a smile. Could it be senility or just happiness -- I'm speechless

I don't care whether people mourn differently. But, if you have some class you know, everything has its time -- time to laugh and a time to cry.

Michael definitely would have loved a white father -- they would know this ah ah ah

Regarding the chidren, he should have asked Lisa Presley, Madona, Liz Taylor to be their guardians. That's where he belonged and surely his kids belong with them.

I'm a black woman but this is too crazy for a man who didn't like his black father to end up having his kids deal with the senile Joe. And hopefully sweet Grandma does not preach to them about the End of Days in 2 years when Michael may emerge or never emerge from that grave.

This country need to have better laws to protect children who have no biological parents or who find themselves in this situation. Forget about Michael's money. Look for a white family that will foster/adopt the children -- a setting that's normal.
As it is, we just have to keep praying Grandma Kathleen at least lives for another ten years -- which is possible with that money.

And living with Gramps the kids may fall in love with some black relatives of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Wath Micheal coming out of that grave like Thriller to get them all.

Everything is so creepy. I'm starting to think like Michael!

Yes, there will be a celebration of life but you can't be laughing that way before the actual ceremony.

Someone must have missed how he casually, and with a smile responded to question about plans -- he goes we are waiting for the second autopsy -- with a smile. Could it be senility or just happiness -- I'm speechless

I don't care whether people mourn differently. But, if you have some class you know, everything has its time -- time to laugh and a time to cry.

Michael definitely would have loved a white father -- they would know this ah ah ah

Regarding the chidren, he should have asked Lisa Presley, Madona, Liz Taylor to be their guardians. That's where he belonged and surely his kids belong with them.

I'm a black woman but this is too crazy for a man who didn't like his black father to end up having his kids deal with the senile Joe. And hopefully sweet Grandma does not preach to them about the End of Days in 2 years when Michael may emerge or never emerge from that grave.

This country need to have better laws to protect children who have no biological parents or who find themselves in this situation. Forget about Michael's money. Look for a white family that will foster/adopt the children -- a setting that's normal.
As it is, we just have to keep praying Grandma Kathleen at least lives for another ten years -- which is possible with that money.

And living with Gramps the kids may fall in love with some black relatives of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. Wath Micheal coming out of that grave like Thriller to get them all.

Everything is so creepy. I'm starting to think like Michael!

I don't understand the public. Yes from what I understand Joe Jackson was a bad father, but what gives us the right to say the man is happy his son is gone, and who's to say the man should never laugh again? People go to far with their comments. Let Michael rest in peace.

I am glad Michael died at 50. He didn't live to be 80 years old like my dad, who molested me and then lived to be able to molest his grandchildren. Michael didn't get to.

wtf??? the guys sick! didn't it even cross his mind that no-one in this effing world liked him anyway so why is he laughing in public after his son died? Poor Michael's probably the victim of a joke he's telling. R.I.P forever Michael you were to good for this world anywayxx

I don't bellieve anything the media puts out there. Ther are one big buch of liars. The photo is no exception. They attempt to discredit Joe Jackson because of Michael. They lied on Michael. They attempt to lie on anyone in his family. Also, they are a buch of racist.

you people are so sick why should Joe not have a laugh with an old friend even if his son has just passed away. People mourn in different ways. And death is not allways a sad think in the African collective community.
