Disgusted by some of the comments I\u2019m reading about my grandpa Joe by those who didn\u2019t even know him. Please don’t just regurgitate what you were spoon fed by the press. Joe was loved by our ENTIRE family and our hearts are in pain. Let us grieve without the nastiness.#<\/span>ripthehawk<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

His death comes just two days after the nine-year anniversary of his son Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n

Joe Jackson is credited for his role in shaping the successful careers of his children, specifically Michael Jackson and the creation of the Jackson 5 (comprised of Michael, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon). He also played a heavy influence in Janet, Latoya and Reebie Jackson\u2019s careers.<\/p>\n

Controversy swirled around Jackson in his later years when he revealed to Oprah Winfrey in a 2010 interview that he admitted hitting his children with a strap.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t [regret the beatings],\u201d he told her. \u201cIt kept them out of jail and kept them right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Jackson is survived by his wife Katherine, 88, and nine of his 11 children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
