It's now 2017 and my heart still aches for La Toya whenever I view this. I am happy you are now free from the abuses you had encountered La Toya!

not really. she was beaten to near death. Jack Gordon beat her almost every day and made her say things. He threatened her by saying that he would kill Michael, or her

Why are people saying she's lying about the abuse? There are photos of her covered in bruises and then in 96 Janet talked about helping Toya "cope"...an abusive relationship is nothing to be proud of or even lie about.

I hate what she said about her family and all the bad things she did. But I don't hate her. The woman was scared of her husband. She was abused, told to lie about the ones she loved most, given death threats (also her favorite siblings), and basically controlled her every move. He instilled fear in her. She was scared. LaToya is a true fighter.

Poor LaToya. That Jack Gordon was such a bastard!! How could he abuse her?

Why do people always feel they know more about someone when they never even met the person.

She's absolutely right! That's how abuse is. Sadly it's about survival every day. Thank god he's finally out of her life. He's a narcissist! Been there and done that. God is good!

Im surprised Randy didnt beat the shit out of him. I always hear stories about him being aggressive and he can be mean.

Man!! That’s a brave woman!!! It’s crazy, sometimes for people in this situation, something just clicks and you finally gain the strength to LEAVE!!! I wish it would happen for everyone, but it’s not always that easy! God bless ♥️

she went from being afraid of joe to afraid of this guy... poor sweetie had some bad luck

this poor woman

I would had been so scared if I were in this situation because that man Gordan was so crazy, and thank god her little brother came and save her.

got to Hell Jack Gordon

He treated her like a slave. she couldn't read or watch t.v. it's like he didn't want her to learn or something.

May he rot in hell for making this beautiful soul suffer so much

Wishing Latoya a happy healthy life

she is obviously not lying, keep watching to the end

I could relate to her. My abusers were not as bad as her husband, but I could understand the feeling of being a puppet and looking like a fool to the rest of the world because you've been brainwashed.

jack beat her down. there was no telling how ruthless this man could have been if she had tried to escape him. latoya god bless you. i hope you gain success.

Wow that is fantastic. Praise God

This is just straight up fatal attraction here. Glad latoya escaped that beast.

she's sooooooooooooo beautiful

I literally didn't even know she existed 2 hours ago and now I'm invested. Bless her heart.

If she did not have that brother or anyone to show up, can you imagine what would have happened? When my husband and in laws abused me- I was terrified and it was scary as hell- but I did not have anyone at all to turn to... I’m overjoyed to hear the ending where she says she was free... I know this fear and as stupid as the victims sound to those who don’t know what abuse is, it is so true that everything can revolve around how an abusive partner and his folks can control you if you are alone and away from the help you could count on. Be safe all and hope god help every woman in this situation find a SAFE help.

This is so sad.... So sad that people have to go through this shit.

im a big mj fan and was upset w latoya when she claimed that the allegations were true, for the longest time i believed she was evil but if i was to be in latoyas shoes i would’ve done the same. that man threatened to kill michael, janet or latoya if she didn’t do what he demanded. im happy that she got out of that relationship alive.

this really is a touching story

I always Loved Latoya. Amazing Woman, she was controlled by her late ex husband. Many people thought she really bad things about her brother Michael, I'm sure she was told to say those things. My first Jackson to send me her Autograph and first tweet ♥️♥️♥️

Sorry, but if I were to have lied about MY brother for something he didn't do, I would have felt guilty for the rest of my life. Wonder how LaToya feels......

Thank goodness LaToya left this relationship alive. Clearly Jack was an abusive control freak. LaToya had grown up sheltered and Jack easily manipulated her and controlled her with fear.

This explains all the MK Ultra programming Hollywood people go through to get famous. Sad, and most of the nation has no idea this goes on in the city of angels, ha ha.

Bless her.

A strong and courageous lady.

Thanks..I was curious...wow

Poor La toya! :(

Omg.. really.. this story is all over the place

God bless you Ms. Latoya Jackson ❤🧡💛💚💙💜You are a brave and strong🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Jack Gordon’s abuse is similar to Tommy Mottola

Ive always like Latoya's personality and ive always liked Janet for her talent and Reebie for her looks

Who's Here Bc Of The Masked Singers Of Talent Recap

She's been awfully quiet since the release of Leaving Neverland. Now I know the plan is to ignore the press and not give them a chance to twist her words. But when LaToya pointed fingers at Michael in 1993 it did major damage and I feel like she has to make up for it. If she truly loves him and believes he was innocent she'd make it loud and clear that he would never doing anything to hurt anyone. She doesn't necessarily have to agree that having sleepovers with kids is a good idea but must acknowledge that a man can do what he wants with his house as long as he doesn't hurt people. Speak up, Latoya. You owe Michael.

If you pay attention, she said that at their home in Paris he would routinely lock her in. It had nothing to do with the passport part. The day she asked for a passport was in New York. (You need an I.D. to board airplanes)

Freedom is everything.

OMG wat a story

LaToya was never the brightest bulb. Even her family admits that. There is no way in heck a man is going to lock me in the closet. She was a grown woman. Luv you LaToya, but c'mon girl.

LA TOYA JACKSON LOOK GREAT HERE !!!!

Why in the hell would this man this demon do this to an beautiful woman and just do this. I've always wanted to meet the Jackson family but I wanted to mee Michael Jackson but its okay BC one day I might just might the whole family and contact Michael Jackson spirt and talk to him. Rip: King Of Pop.

Poor thing.

Anyone should be able to tell this is the truth and not what she said before while she was with that monster I mean look how emotional she is just talking about it and she's never been in a relationship since because of the fear and distrust she still carries from that abusive relationship. I feel terribly bad for her

wow i really feel sorry for latoya coming from a very strict almost abusive home to an abusive relationship...she must hate her family for not being there for her

Would you be able to go on World Wide Television after your brother has been accused of sexual abuse and say, "I cannot and will not be a silent collaborator against crimes to these small innocent children. I have seen checks to the parents of these children and they are for a great amount and I'm not speaking pennies blah blah blah..." I understand that LaToya was abused. I've been in an abusive situation where I had a gun held against my head. I WOULD HAVE NEVER DONE THAT TO MY BROTHER.

@MsKelliGIzaStar Instead of spewing all those viciouis lies on World Wide Television, she could have TURNED IN HER HUSBAND on World Wide Television. If anything happened to her, Janet or Michael after that, the police sure would have known who to go looking for.

All those brother's and not one of them protected her against this thug.

❤❤❤❤❤

We need to know "everyone", I have an idea on some of the "who's"

Oh uhhh....Jack Gordon.

@8mycrab I see what you're saying but I have to disagree and say that she took back her comments because she no longer felt the need to lie. Not just because her family was upset but because since she was no longer with Jack she didn't have to say what he wanted her to say anymore. She spoke of such "proof" because thats what she was told to say. I mean do you here the woman she sat in a closet all day to avoid his anger, she said and did what she was told.

They need to make a movie tv of Latoya’s life with jack. It would be a hits Her hair looks ratty here

How sad

Actually, wouldn't that be Murray? We still need to know who is behind it.

I work near Mulberry Street, and would go to lunch there frequently. It was a Mob hangout (Ravenite Social Club) before gentrification. But I've NEVER, EVER seen LaToya Jackson on Mulberry Street! LOL!

I love LaToya so much her past contains a lot of pain Jack made her to say a lot of lies about Michael back then in 1993 But then Michael forgave her

She shoulda kept her original face

The Cassie Diddy case is almost similar to Latoya’s story

An Emergency passport please!

@8mycrab The point I'm trying to make is that when people are scared they don't always make the best decisions or even know how to go about making a right decision. She was scared she said things she didn't mean; but the family forgave her. Sure there were other things she could have done but she didn't know how. Sometimes you just don't know what to do.

this woman went to hell and back....god bless her

@8mycrab The way she put it, Jack threatened to kill Michael and Janet since he knew she was closest to them. So if she's telling the truth and she believed him when he threatened her siblings life what was she supposed to do? Say what she said about Michael and hope it blows over or wait to see if Jack would reall carry out his threats? She was afraid.

mafia people they don't play

i question that it was quite the way she said it here,, i think she was definitely under his control...and do not doubt that.. but to that degree she described here? the jackson family could not have saved her earlier? with al their money and power? why, someone tell me why she chose to stay with jack gordon, she could have ran out of the womans restroom for example and went to the police years ago? is there a slight bit of exaggeration going on here? she knew her family could save her.

why didn't she sue him for all that?

@8mycrab I see what you're saying but I have to disagree and say that she took back her comments because she no longer felt the need to lie. Not just because her family was upset but because since she was no longer with Jack she didn't have to say what he wanted her to say anymore. She spoke of such "proof" because thats what she was told to say.

Poor woman, what a suffered life.

I heard that Michael Jackson went looking for Jack Gordon with some old school Italians he didn't find him and I'm sure Jack was relieved about it

at 5:30, i believe her. nobody can cry about something so obscure as holding a bible.

@PhuckHue U DAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMNNN RIGHT!!!!!!!

@MsKelliGIzaStar Warn Michael and Janet then go to the police.

He was ugly . What did she ever see in him ??

With Latoya, there was no excuse.

She gave 2 versions on why she escaped. 1, saying the bible/God gave her the courage to confront him then to pick up the phone while he was in the shower. 2, She found out Jack planned or scheduled her to perform in a pornographic movie stating she done everything he wanted her to but she wasn't going to go that low so she picked the phone up n called her brother

@kikib43 michael and latoya are both beautiful. they both look alike

Holy shit she looks like the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz here.

You still stabbed Micheal in the back saying lies about your own brother.Lucky he was forgiving.

if she was not coming to do this they were coming to kill her brother since longtime I'm telling u

Jack was the modern Louis Lepke.

she was disowned by the witnesses or disfellowshipped wtver the term is

Jack threatened Joe Tito Latoya and Janet.

She said in the beginning she was in Paris ..so y was her brother and his friend flying I new York..she slipped she in Paris the save me I'm in new. York.she's a lyer..

@kikib43 michael looks just like latoya so is michael ugly too?

IDK WHAT TO BELIEVE SHE'S ALL OVER THE PLACE SHE SAYS ONE THING THEN TAKES IT BACK N SAYS ANOTHER

why did her parents let her go to japan with such a man ... alone!!

Cuckoo, Cuckoo!!

latoya is cute but I like Janet better

Every time she’s talking she’s talking about abuse

Why he do that she sounds nice and she’s inoccent

I never believed on her. I'm sorry. She blaimed her broher (MJJ) of horrible things and she said awful things of her family.

hahah...ahahahh...yeah its confusing.. but she was in NY when she called Randy but that happened after the thing with the passport, in Paris i think ... Buuut its clear that the story s a bit exaggerated ^^ I mean she was a Jehovah's Witness....how "correct" can a person b if he/she was or is a Jehovah's Witness..ehahah

i dont think jack would do that,take it from sum1 that jack has been in ur house he is my uncle and he past away a few years ago so if u guys are gonna waiste ur time saying that hes a bad man,its her words against his

Latoya stop lying🤣🤣🤣

She's such a lair, I would take anything she said at face value.
