It may be splitting hairs (unless you're on the receiving end) but Joe Jackson maintains he didn't beat Michael Jackson as a kid ... he used a strap ... and he'd do it all over again.



Watch Oprah call out Joe on her show today.

1. It's still physical, mental and emotional abuse.

And then they wonder why kids run away from home and find a pimp, so maybe they will be beaten up less often.

5. Joe

I saw Joe Jackson in concert and that guy ain't Joe!

2. There was a reason why Michael hated his father and it wasn't for a spanking...

Joe Jackson beat his son. Michael dismayed me in his later years, but I've never doubted his word on his father.

3. I thought Oprah left.

In-the-loop-level= zero.

4. He'd do it all over again, because Michael was such

a well adjusted person. :rofl:

7. Oh. He used a weapon. Well, then...

8. When he was on Larry King

He said he did it so his kids wouldn't be dead at 50 from drugs. Ummmmmm he was dead at 50 from drugs!
