On Good Morning America Wed. morning they had a story on how broke MJ is, and how a man that was owed money by the Jasksons wound up with a trailer full of Jaskson lute, costumes, gold records, paintings by Michael as well as letters to his mom.
So the Host Charlie Gibsons asks this guy what was really strange in all this stuff, the guy tells him about a letter the Jacksons(parents) wrote to the Jehovahs Witnesses WatchTower Society and chastised them for DA-ing their son. I will try to find the audio link.
"A lot of intimate letters going back and forth," Vaccaro said. "I mean, you know, there's a letter from Joe Jackson to the producers of the Victory Tour book, where he approved the photographs of his children, but he wanted their skin tones to be 20 to 30 percent lighter in the finished product. That surprised me.
"There's also a letter from Mrs. Jackson complaining to the Jehovah's Witness Fellowship, because evidently they must have expelled Michael, and you know, she's really giving them hell," Vaccaro said.
My understanding is that Michael actually DA'd himself, rather than being expelled. The new owner of Jacko's personal items probably doesn't know or care about the difference between the two. But really it's all the same, his mom was upset at the pressure the WT Society put on Michael -- and that's very interesting!!
