Katherine Jackson - Recent Years

Recent Years

Jackson has spent the last couple of decades talking to the press defending her children, mainly Michael, who began to gain notoriety for his eccentricities. In a recent interview promoting her Michael Jackson Story Book/DVD on The Oprah Winfrey Show, however, Jackson acknowledged that Michael was addicted to plastic surgery and also got her husband to admit to physically disciplining their children. Over the years, it had been acknowledged by some that Joe Jackson was abusive towards his children, which he has continually denied despite admissions by both La Toya and Michael. Jackson splits her time between Las Vegas and her Hayvenhurst home in Encino. She is estranged from Joe Jackson, although still married to him, and the two are almost always interviewed together, sometimes with or without their children.

Famous quotes containing the word years:

    a voice still so hollow
    That it seems to call out to me from forty years ago,
    When you were all aglow,
    And not the thin ghost that I now frailly follow!
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    ... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
