Remembering the hard facts of the Michael's glory days and a very painful time for him it started when his older brother Jermaine didn't really like the fact that Michael was becoming bigger then life in the 80's he was living and being respected as being the greatest entertainer of our lifetime. Clearly Jermaine would sometime show his not so like side on his brother sure he was proud of his little brother but his success and the fame he was getting over him it did seem Jermaine was jealous. He kept on saying that back then The Jackson's were going to get together again for some live concerts and yes even Michael but that never happen but Jermaine would always tell the world that tour was on going but when Michael was asked about this so call tour he wouldn't say it out loud but in interviews he wasn't for it at all and Jermaine would look like a needy money making fool he never got it right he put that story out for years but it never happen like he wanted it. But what did Jermaine do to vent out his frustration he wrote a song called " Word to the bad " because Michael was doing his world tour on his over nearly 25 million dollar seller BAD so all the world knew he was singing about his brother and Jermaine did get a backlash about it the lyrics hurt Michael it was hard for him to get past that. Overtime he did he forgave Jermaine but that history is still out there for the world to hear that for a time Jermaine had kicked his brother in the back and why doing that some feel till this day Jermaine can't be trusted.

Now we get to Michael's older sister La Toya these too were so very close back in the day they did everything together but while still living at the Encino home things started to change for both of them first Michael was getting ready to tour for his BAD album and was looking to pay his own Estate in Santa Barbara while he was making this deal no one knew not even his mother Katherine. Michael saw the home only a few years ago while he was filming Say Say Say with Paul McCartney back in 82 and fell in love with the place so he brought it for 30 million dollars now it's worth 100 million. Anyway La Toya was trying to kick start her career with this slick guy Jack Gordon who she married. He was looking for ways for La Toya to stay relevant and that was done to bring Michael down. Michael was working on his tour not the BAD tour but his Dangerous tour by now Michael was riding high he was the it guy but all came tumbling down around him when a child accused him of molestation and in comes La Toya's so call husband trying to make her say she saw Michael with young boys at their then home Encino and she couldn't stand by and watch this happen. When Michael got word of this he was taken ill he could not understand why and how could she do this too him knowing nothing like that had ever happen but she stuck to her guns going on any talk that would listen but then her table turned when Jack beat her used her to say those things to go against her own brother I guess you could say she woke up. But for year after that Michael felt betrayed by her it took him awhile to forgive her. But he did and now it's history. When you look at these siblings no doubt they cared about each other but fame can cost and there is NO AMOUNT of money I would take to hurt a family member not for a song nor a story but Jermaine and La Toya did just that. It took me something to like La Toya again, Jermaine is someone you keep your eye on but hey we don't live with this family all we need to do is enjoy the talent and their history.
Hope you all enjoyed this story it came from my memory so bare with me I tired all in all it was okay.
