A rep for Katherine Jackson is slamming Joe after he blamed her for their son Michael's death.
"Joe Jackson's statements and conduct toward Mrs. Jackson are outrageous," her attorney Adam Streisand tells Access Hollywood. "The world knows Mrs. Jackson has always been a loving and caring mother and grandmother, and she had a very special relationship with Michael. The world also knows who Joe Jackson is and he seems bent on never letting us forget."

In a video posted on News of the World's website on Sunday, Joe says he wanted Katherine "to step in and go in and... keep him cheered up. She didn't want to do that because she was afraid she was invading his privacy.

"We argued about that several times," he went on."'Katherine, if you don't go see him, he won't be with us too long.' I thought he was looking kind of funny and frail a little bit. I told her, 'This would have not have happened if you had been with him a while because he would have been more relaxed. By you being with him, things would've went much better than what they did. We gone lost our son now.'"

Interestingly, Katherine sat with Joe Monday at a hearing, in which a judge declared that Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael's personal physician, is still allowed to practice medicine, TMZ reported. (Murray is accused of administering a lethal dose of the hospital anesthetic propofol that caused the King of Pop to die last June 25.)

Welcome to the typical life of a married black woman. Your (black) husband does nothing but advance himself, you struggle with messed up kids, and your (black)man only shows up when times are good. He disappears or tries to blame you when things go bad. Tell me how marriage is better for black women, than single parenthood, again? Oh, I forgot....on paper the family has more money with a husband around. Yea, money solves everything

you tube has a snippet of Michael Jackson Special on TV Guide Network guys check it out
humbly I think there is more to Michael Jacksons death than we realize
I think its important to share the this. TV Guide Net Gone too soon June 25th
Michael Jackson forever fashion, art, music, dance all of it...June 25th...Gone Too Soon
This is a true Artist Michael Jackson forever, now the kids will suffer if we don't help this family out with our prayers and support
So what if his Joe is making a spectacle of himself...no judge would argue for him anyway..Michael Jackson shut em out of his life..plain and simple
True2Myself It is people like you that should be in prison for your lethal ignorance and your tabloid reading scum bag attitude. Do some real reading for a change and you might actually find out something true about Michael. He was innocent and a victim of extortion the first time, the second time he did not fall for the trick again and he was fully exonerated. Idiot that you are you still living like a mushroom, living in the dark and fed nothing but b*llsh*t.
@tru2self. or whoever your racist self is,please shut the hell up.
I don't know this family personally but its hard to judge what is really happening..June 25 MJ RIP
Katherine..poor woman married to that terrible role model of a man...however there are so many theories swirling about that I think the new Michael Jackson Special airing on TV Guide Network on June 25th "Gone Too Soon" should def shed light on conspiracies and clear the air a bit....
NOW will Katherine get a divorce from this old fool????
1st of all, michael should have died in prison where he belonged. But, as screwed up as ALL of those kids are-everyone of them has changed their appearance..to not favor joe, his sorry @ss needs to rot in prison as well. I never claimed to be a fan of mj..but, joe is a sorry @ss dead beat piece of sh!t!!!!!!! As long as his wife was supporting him with michael's money, he was fine. Gawd that family is screwed up!!!!!!!!!
stop making accusation, none of you knew how the Jackson really lived. Katherine stayed with her husband because she was married to the man, she made that vow. for better for worse..for richer for poorer til death do them part..thats how it went back then and how it should be now. noone ever said Joe hit Katherine, those are his children and will always be his children and back then he had the right to do what ever he wanted to make his family into what ever he wanted. Thats what u call a strick father. Michael's fame turned him into what he became, if it wasn't for having a father where in the hell would those Jackson boys be. back then maybe jail on drugs who knows, but Joe kept a tight ring on his children and i don't blame him at all for that. if some father nowday put their foot down and control some of their kids the prison and drug sales would be low. seriously think about it my black people you know back in the days fathers was hard on their sons wanting them to do well because society was not going to let black people have it all. now days u get put in jail for trying to punish your own child. if my child steals a car to jail he will go but if i can have my way with my own child stealing a car wouldn't have even crossed his mind. either we can or can't with our own.
'By you being with him, things would've went much better than what they did. We gone lost our son now.' "Can't this man construct a single coherent and grammatically correct sentence? Geez!!!
Joe Jackson, blaming your son's mother for his death would be like blaming you for his death--if you had never pushed him to achieve stardom, he would not have gotten into the dangerous maintenance of keeping up with the demands and would still be here today--quit blaming everyone
oops - A waste of oxygen
