Joe Jackson Finally Admits He Used A Strap To Whip His Kids
OPRAH WINFREY'S pre-taped and much-hyped interview with MICHAEL JACKSON'S family finally aired on yesterday's "Oprah".
--And I would say that the big reveal was this: JOE JACKSON finally admitted that he used a strap to punish his kids and keep them in line.
--First, though, he tried to deny it. He said, quote, "I never beated Michael like the media tried to say. That never happened." (--And yes, he said "beated".)
--But after a little more prodding, Joe admitted that he WHIPPED his kids with a strap. But apparently, he doesn't consider that "beating"
--Katherine also helped pull it out of him by saying, quote, "You might as well admit it, that's the way black people raised their children."
--But Joe defended his method, saying, quote, "It kept them outta trouble, outta jail. My kids never been in jail before. Nine kids never been to jail."
