As far as drug use is concerned, Joe says he didn't know anything about it but said whatever Michael took he did so he could "relax and sleep."

16. Mr. Jackson PLEASE shut up. Michaels fans DO NOT WANT TO HEAR FROM THE LIKES OF YOU! I just can't see Michael's kids living with this man. Katherine, divorce him and raise Michaels kids.. keep Joe away!

17. This is the Jackson body that should have been in that casket, rather than MJ. What a douche bag. How long before he has a new book or shows up on TV with that other FUGLY media whore Baba Walters........

18. Did you hear what he said about Paris and Blanket? They will be in show business in a year. The cycle repeats itself. I bet Joe was beaten when he was a child. RIP (if you can) MICHAEL

19. Joe can claim all he wants that he will be raising Michael's kids. The truth of the matter is this... Joe lives in Vegas... Katherine doesnt want his sorry carcas around! He wont get his hands on those kids for nothing. He was already drooling at the prospects of putting these poor children in Show biz.... which I dont believe Michael wanted for them at all. This idiot only wants media attention he never got. Stealing Michael's press is soooooo unattractive! I hope this hidious man eventually gets his! He is so dang evil and nasty! Katheirne will do a fine job of raising Michael's children the way he wanted. If Michael thought for one moment that this psycho would go near his children... Dianna Ross would have them already! As for you idiots wanting Debbie Rowe to have these kids.. for her its all about the BENJAMINS.. she would get 750,000 a month for EACH kid and NOW she wants Blanket too? Hmmm Can you say " CINDERELLA CHILDREN"? she will do that to them... for her all they are is a meal ticket. She is one nasty mouth evil woman who sold these kids not just once but... TWICE first for 8 million..then for 8.5 million.. Get educated before you say "Go Get Your kids " To a woman who has NEVER been in these childrens lives! All she wants is the MONEY!!! There is no love there for these children from her. She is nothing more then a money grubbing Jackson Laech! Thats right I said it! A LEACH!!!!! Katherine.. Keep that foolish, masogenistic, slime ball, sorry excuse of a father/ grandfather away from the kids... all he is hearing is the sound of cash registers as he sees they have some talent.. lock the gates and tell him to take his sorry ugly butt back to VEGAS!!! HE IS NOT WANTED HERE!!!!!

21. I was wondering when the Jackson family was going to start spinning the truth about the facts. This man should not be allowed around his grandchildren or anyone else's for that matter. If he beat his own blood, I wondered what he will do to the grandkids who aren't from his blood. Also If Katherine stood by when her children were beaten and did nothing, she should not be allow to raise them either. We all know it about the money...I am wondering if Michael loved his kids so much, why he didn't bother to finalize their adoption...The kids deserve some resemblance of normalcy, and that would be outside the celebrity world.

22. And the extension of Joe Jackson's 15 minutes begins! On top of that he is clearly ready to start pimping out his grandkids.

Meanwhile, Joe Jackson told ABC that he and his wife, Katherine, should have custody of Michael's three children. "They'll grow up to be strong Jacksons," he said.
He said Michael's daughter, Paris, who spoke at the Tuesday memorial service, was taking the death hard and was crying whenever Michael's name is mentioned. He said that she might have a future in the entertainment business along with the youngest son, nicknamed Blanket, who "can really dance."

23. He hasn't lived at the Jackson compound in over 10 years. He lives in Las Vegas. He'll have nothing to do with these children. There were even reports that Katherine did not let him into the compound several times since MJ's death. He "hears" Blanket is a good dancer. If he had any prior relationship with these children, he would "know" if his grandchild can dance. This guy will be a total non player in their lives, just like he has been a non player in his own children's lives and estranged wife in recent years.

25. this man needs to be kept away from michael jackson children..... KEEEP HIM AWAY, michael jackson must be twisting and turning in his grave. Michael Jackson was mentally abused by this creep...

26. YOU should have stepped up as the father of the family and did all you could to help Michael... you frickin cockroach

27. I can't really say anything new about this man that hasn't been said. He's pathetic and still doesn't get it after all these years! I hope these children will be allowed to stay together and grow up to be happy and healthy in all ways, (mentally/physically) and will be allowed to be what THEY want to be when they grow up. Not what someone else has projected on to them. Only from the information I have seen via media do I not think their biological mother would be a good choice to raise them. She doesn't appear to have had a relationship with them for many years. I am adopted and have always wondered why courts think that just because they share the same blood doesn't mean they are the best choices for children! I'm wondering why Janet doesn't try to become their guardian? I haven't heard anyone ask this question. She seems to be the person that has been steadfast in Michael's life. I know we heard Jermaine say he was his voice and his backbone, but I tend to question that a bit in my mind, personally. Janet was the one that cared enough to try and stage an intervention. She is the one that his daughter and oldest son were with on the platform of the memorial service and who they turned to. She is younger and knew Michael perhaps better than her other siblings. I hope she will remain a steadfast presence in their lives. I fear for them among all these people that seem to only want a piece of them for their own selfish reasons.

28. this man should be in the coffin, not Michael!!!! the way he treated him all time he was a child and after, teenager!
better stay home, old man, the public and the fans are Michael's, not yours! there is no one who gives a damn about your opinion, nor on your so colled "record company" to continue MJ's legacy, you proudly announce to have set up when your son was not even cold yet! MONEY is not everything in this life! you should be ashamed of yourself!
Forgive him Michael, wherever you are right now, for he is a foul never been blassed to feel and share LOVE!
RIP Michael, beautiful soul!

29. The more the JackAzz opens his mouth, the more he does damage to the family. What judge in their right mind would grant Katherine Jackson custody, especially after this interview. This man wants to live off those kids & knowing they have money, it's just disgraceful. IF a judge grants this woman custody after hearing this interview, I'll lose all faith in the justice system. All Joe JackAzz wants to do is pimp those kids out to make himself money. I mean right after MJ's death, at the BET awards, he showed NO REMORSE for losing a son and was more interested in promoting his new company more than anything. Who is going to make sure those children don't suffer at the hands of Joe ??? Someone needs to get those kids out of that environment & give them a normal life. I'm all over Debbie Rowe getting custody of ALL of them, they'll at least have some sort of life than with this JackAzz CREW !!!
