According to Janet Jackson, her family had tried several times to stage interventions before Michael died of a drug overdose -- but, obviously, they "weren't very successful."
In an interview with Robin Roberts, Janet talked about their attempts to get Michael clean, and though she says he understood "that it was out of love," she added "people tend to be in denial."
As we previously reported, Janet holds Dr. Murray responsible for killing her brother.

coming from Janet, i believe it. am sure they tried, but then you can't force people do what they are not ready to do, especially grown individuals who are rich.

That was heartbreaking. I can see the pain in Janets eyes. I'm sure the family tried but they couldn't convince him. RIP..Michael

I guess someone at TMZ was watching ABC this AM.
I don't believe it!! The Jacksons are not known for speaking the truth. In order to stage a successful intervention, people who the subject respects must be involved...Why didn't they ask people who MJ looked up to, to get involved? Berry Gordy, Liz Taylor etc. MJ probably saw family members coming and thought "beggars again!"
Joe J in particular, is definitely lying when he said he tried etc. He is the last person who could have been successful at this as MJ hated him for his abuse, torment, and later on his parasitic and vulture-like behavior.

The whole Jackson family should have used professionals to ESCORT MJ to rehab. Whitney is still with us, thanks to her mother who had professionals with her to escort Whitney to rehab.
It's called TOUGH LOVE JANET. (The Jackson's listened to MJ's promises that he would seek help, MJ couldn't help himself he was in denial).
The Jacksons watched MJ deteriorate during and after 2005 trial. Where were you then Janet when MJ needed you so desparately???????????????
DON'T FAIL MJ'S CHILDREN JANET, LOOK AFTER THEM, BECAUSE NO ELSE WILL.

I have been so out done by this whole ordeal, that I'm still spechless. Growing up I was probably Michaels biggest fans, I'm now 39 and music has changed forever.

Just as I am a lifelong Michael fan, I am a lifelong Janet fan as well, but sometimes you have to be blunt. Janet is no different from the people he references in his song "Money". Initially, she had nothing to say and even went so far as to call the whole thing a circus in which she wanted no part of. Now that she has an album dropping she decides to open her mouth, coincidence I think not. Sorry, Janet but my respect level for you has declined along with Katherine and the rest of the family. Everybody is suing everybody, his fans are celebrating the suicide of Evan Chandler which tells me that Michael's message of love went way over their heads and everything is just crazy now.
