Not La Toya corroborating what Quincy Jones said about Michael liked to steal stuff πππ I LOLed at him going through people's drawers and medicine cabinets. What I know of his personality is that he was very studious detail oriented and thorough. So it really fits into my picture of him πππ

Men - if your sister did playboy would you look? Ladies - if you did playboy would you expect your brother to look or not?
If you brother is a gay guy - does that make it different? I would think it would..
I don't have siblings but I imagine a straight brother would look for like 0.5 seconds to see if it was true then have to burn his eyes

JANET IS PORTRAYED SO FUNNY IN THIS I just lost it at ""Jan id really like to talk to you" "well then start talking" she snapped without looking up from her coloring book" She is portrayed super "aggressive" direct quote and there's one scene where la Toya is like Janet was always so loud and yelling on the phone like la Toya. That is because you are the only person in the world more quiet than Janet Jackson

Remember I kept saying I need to understand the Jackson family? I think them being JW is the piece of the puzzle that I often forget. It explains a lot. They are just ultra religious homeschool kids at the end of the day
Also can we please discuss the connection between the cult like religion and family bands? Selena y los dinos were also JW, the Osmonds were Mormon, what is this about???

La Toya acknowledging in the book that her and Michael used to plan matching outfits. Now I want you go look at La Toya on the cover of Hot Potato single and compare to Michael on Human Nature ππππ

He went through drawers to get an idea of people's "true intentions"
There's so much I wanna talk to you all about this book. Him & La Toya had a really cute relationship it sounds like. Like they are super iconic together.
ALSO MJ & LA TOYA WANTING LA TOYA TO PLAY HIS LOVE INTEREST IN 3 SEPARATE VIDEOS???? LMAO (Thriller, the way you make me feel, and say say say) I can't... Um but I think it's sweet that he wanted to put his sister on in the industry lol but that would have destroyed his career also she has his whole face like it would have been soooo strange
Oh this was really heartbreaking la Toya said she attempted suicide because Joe refused to stop being her manager/let her move out of the house ... She said two or more of her siblings were driven to suicidality as well. So that starts to put their family life in perspective. She has a really interesting role as the "second mother" to her brothers and Janet and her unhealthy closeness/protectiveness over her mother. (Katherine would say things like I'll die if you leave me etc and they considered themselves beat friends.) Basically as soon as la toya left home Michael followed - he was staying for her because I think la Toya was the most tied down to the home she had the least ability to leave. Both of them had previously been staying to protect their mother and Janet. It was really sad when la Toya was younger she tried to leave home but joe physically restrained her and Janet was crying saying please not to leave her. :(
Ohhhhhh and Michael wrote wanna be starting something for her ... Her sisters in law hated her bc she was so motherly to her brothers I guess she set too high of a bar as a homemaker so her brothers would tell their wives they aren't as good of a homemaker/caretaker as la Toya. So again just really revealing about the family dynamic. La Toya is really fascinating and endearing to me. There is a reason she is the most famous Jackson.
Her Michael Randy and Janet needed to just all move out into a house together I would really like to know if that crossed their minds it probably did but they were so worried about leaving their mom
