An attorney for Joe Jackson filed papers in Los Angeles on Friday seeking a stipend, saying there was no apparent reason for the administrators of the estate to not seek an allowance for the 81-year-old family patriarch.
The judge should give Joe a stipend of anything to the RIGHT of the decimal point in the account every month. That's all he's worth.
#1 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 4:57 PM ESTHey Joe - sscccrrrreeeeeech - that's the sound of the brakes to the gravy train you've been riding on for far too many decades. You require $2,500 to eat out on a monthly basis? Good grief, man, you need to learn how to cook.
I was never a fan of your son but the more I read about the Jackson family (excluding a very few members), the more I can understand why MJ was so terribly troubled and came to embrace a myriad of addictions and obsessions.
Seriously, Joe, have you no shame whatsoever?!
Why doesn't this lazy ass, child abusing man realize Michael hated him and wanted him to get nothing?
disgusting he needs 2500 coconuts for food??? 1200 coconuts for his rent ok, my house payment is under 700 coconuts and the foocking gaul of 3000 coconuts for HOTELS? per MONTH??? this guy needs to get youth in asia, yes intended SP put him down, my mum is 83 she would NOT do anything like this, this foocking vomit pile excuse for a Human Being needs to go away, cremate his remains and put them in a polluted scuzzy landfill, or a coal slag pond where he belongs he brings HUMANS to a new LOW
That sure is a lot of eating out for a diabetic...
Spot on, Cimarronrose.
Court response to Joe's request: BEAT IT!
He's got other sons to sponge off of... I mean if they're alive and won't help him, can he only go after the dead son's money? Put that man to work in a soup kitchen... if only for wasting our tax money tying up the court!
I hope that Mr Jackson is denied any financial gain from Michael's death. It's bad enough his brothers are trying to capitalize from Michael's death. It really weighs on my heart that people are so greedy and money hungry that they could do this!
#2 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:08 PM ESTNo reason, just show the judge video footage from many of MJ's video where he described how badly he was treated by his father.
Geez, so his legal argument is that because MJ didn't specifically say why he hated his father in his will, then he has a right to it. Poor legal counsel on MJ's part, his will should have left Joe with $1 so he was at least mentioned.
#3 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:29 PM ESTJoe is (and has always been)a scum-bag! Michael would "turn over in his grave" if that man got as much as a penny! His brothers are scum-bags too!
#4 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:30 PM ESTjust another you know what...
#5 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:30 PM ESTPerhaps the you-know-what could pawn some of his suits, fedoras, and bling, ease up on the hair products, and move back under the rock from whence he came to save some rent money.
Yes, he does seem a bit pimpish...
HoneyBee, you're right about that. Didn't he pimp his sons, especially Michael? He always looked and acted the part. Give him what MJ wanted him to have--nothing!
Hell to the NO!!! Michael was VERY clear about how he felt regarding his father. If he wanted his father to share in his success, he would have set the Will up differently. It would be an insult to ANYONE that has a Will if Lawyers, Judges, Estate Executors, etc manipulate the Estate in anyway that would give that Creep Money!!!
#6 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:34 PM ESTJoe Jackson is a complete POS that shouldn't profit any more than he already has from his son's death. He has some serious issues if he thinks he is entitled to any of that money....unbelievable. If MJ wanted his father to receive any money, he would have stated so in his will....period....end of story.
#7 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:34 PM ESTCan't this SORRY excuse for a family just go away!
#8 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:34 PM ESTNo need to insult the family. But Joe, Latoya and Jermaine can go away.
Time for Joe to down size.
Yes there is a reason to insult the whole family, their ALL a bunch of whores and losers!
Forrestsa...is your family a bunch of whores and losers? Tell the world all about your perfect family. Those that Judge.....Don't Matter!!!!! Those that Matter....Don't Judge!!!!!!
I don't think his children are any of those things.
Greed is an amazing thing, it appears you can be any age. The reason for michaels
dependency on these anti anxiety medications was because of the abuse he recieved from his father as a child. Lets say a prayer for MJ, and hope his father
burns in hell.
#9 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:36 PM ESTYes maam, I pray mj burns in hell where he belongs.
As far as I know God will do the judging, not man. What you better be worrying about is where will you be?
You're a good little christian Forresta.
This doesn't suprise me at all. But like someone else mentioned... Micheal CLEARLY stated that nothing was to be left for his father. I can't imagine a judge who will overturn those last wishes.
#10 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:42 PM ESTI totally agree with John Causby AND with Forrestsa - enough is enough. Let these scum bags fade away into oblivion.
#11 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:45 PM ESTHe's just proving exactly what he is.. a money grubbing, blood sucking leach.. just like the rest of the family. By the time those kids are old enough to inherent what's left of the estate, there won't be anything left. And as far as his brothers and sisters, they were has been with no employment or fame for years, so this is their ticket to fame.. with the death of their brother.. how shameful..
#12 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:46 PM ESTIf I remember right MJ's will specifically stated that his father was to get nothing.
#13 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 5:55 PM ESTPlease note the sarcasm in my comment. Most of the Jacksons with the exception of Janet have always lived off Michael. Michael was their meal ticket when he was alive, why not let Michael be their meal ticket now that he's dead. God forbid they actually support themselves, that would just be wrong.
#14 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 6:06 PM ESTMJ should have left his father something in the will-1 penny. Play the awards where MJ's father was trying to talk about his new record label as he was walking on the red carpet. What did he say? "The world has lost a major icon"-He didn't say " I just lost my son". I think if Michael was giving him money, he would have made sure that his father was taken care of. There would be some sort of record that Michael was giving him money, and if he was any good at being a manager, he wouldn't have been fired. All he ever did was use them kids as a meal ticket and had affairs behind their mothers' back. MJ finally grew up and got rid of a jerk that never treated him well.
#15 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 6:18 PM ESTI agree with you! Not that I was ever a Michael Jackson fan, but his father is a real piece of work. Michael did not support him, according to the article, Katherine supported him with money that Michael gave her. That was Katherine's choice, not Michael's! I can't understand why she'd foot his bills for him. The man spends more than twice as much on hotels than he does on rent! Perhaps he should sleep at home, more, or give up the house. $2,500 to eat out? It'd probably be cheaper to hire a personal chef. $1,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations and $2,000 on air travel PER MONTH? Why? Where would he go and who would want to see him, let alone receive anything from him? I hope he doesn't get a wooden nickel from Michael's estate. He wasn't a father, he was a sperm donor.
You'll note it said Joe was receiving money from Michael "through Katherine" which means that she was sneaking him money that Michael gave her, which fits their family dynamic---weak-willed, nice mom and overbearing abusive father. She'll still be sneaking him money from what she gets for her and the kids. The judge certainly should not ignore what Michael's wishes clearly were---give the old parasite nothing more.
#16 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 6:31 PM ESTWe don't really know what happened. Micheal could have just given money to his mother to pass on to his father.
What's the point in making a will in good faith if the court can change it.
Why would Michael give money to his father through Katherine? If he wanted him to have money he undoubtedly would've just had it given to him himself. And please explain why Michael's estate should be expected to maintain this pariah in a standard of living far beyond his means? Thousands of dollars to eat out and be entertained?? Michael's estate left money to his children, his mother and various charities...none was written to be left to his opportunistic and hated father. I'll never forget the image of this pig plugging his project at his son's memorial service. He deserves nothing but contempt.
Joe Jackson would take money from Michael's children and the valid charities Michael wanted to contribute to...this man in a loose definition of the term is a disgrace to himself and his children. It's unbelievable that he expects anyone to profit from his son's death or lessen the bequest to Michael's children in a greedy bid to scam money from their inheritance. Joe Jackson deserves only two checks per month...one a reality... and the other his social security. And it's debatable that he should continue to get the latter, since he mostly lived off his son's rather than any earnings paid into social security after they became famous. What a loser.
$1200 a month for rent? Get a cheaper place,
$2500 a month eathing out: Learn to cook. and eat at home the eating out isn't good for his diabetic condition.
$1000 on entertainment: By movies and watch them at home or just get Cable.
$2000 on travel: Learn to drive or just stay home. Like most people do.
$3000 on hotels. What are you paying the $1200 a month for if you are stying in a hotel every night.
Come on he and his entire family were living off of Michael learn to budget and live with in your means.
The children live in a very special situation that require security and other expenses and need that money for them. It is theres to do with as they see fit. Don't take away from them to keep your greedy little habits. afloat.
#17 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 6:36 PM EST"$1000 on entertainment: By movies and watch them at home or just get Cable"
Netflix is only $14.99/month! WHO spends $1000 a MONTH?!
He lives in Vegas, so he's going out to shows, getting whores, drugs, you name it. Vegas isn't cheap, you know....even if you are 81!
He is a shamless self-promoter and the patriarch of America's quintessential dysfunctional family.
#18 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 6:42 PM ESTHis favorite charity has always been himself.
#19 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 6:43 PM ESTHe is a sorry excuse for a human being! I can't stand the sight of him and hope he doesn't get a dime!
#20 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 6:45 PM ESTgreg-636215 voiced my sentiments exactly! There are plenty of people who would give anything to get $1,700 a month. Greed is a horrible trait. I don't know how Dad can live with himself.
#21 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 7:06 PM ESTHe need to go into senior housing. They will feed him and rent will be cheap.
#22 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 7:10 PM ESTScum
#23 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 7:23 PM ESTWhy does he need air travel he lives in Vegas? He is already paying $1200 a month for rent, so why would he need a motel, and at $1200 a month surely he has a microwave why would he need to eat out? He doesn’t work, so a vacation from what?
This should not even go to trial.
#24 - Fri Nov 6, 2009 7:31 PM ESTThe only thing Michael should have left this wife and child beater was a size 12 moon-walking boot up his ass.
