Washington, Sep 26 (ANI): Late King of Pop Michael Jackson had often spoken about the beatings he received as a child at the hands of his dad Joe, and now newly released taped interviews reveal the harsh punishment he went through.
The interviews, recorded with former spiritual advisor Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, reveal the sick extremes the Jackson family patriarch went to in order to discipline his kids.
Boteach has released the tapes, recorded between 1999 and 2001, to the media to promote his new book ‘The Michael Jackson Tapes’, and during an appearance on America’s Today show on September 25, the Rabbi played an extract from the 30 hours of interviews.
“He (Joe) was rough. The way he would beat you was hard… He would make you strip nude first, he would oil you down. It would be a whole ritual,” Contactmusic quoted Jackson as telling his former friend.
“He would oil you down, so when the flip of the ironing cord hit you… it was just like me dying, and you had whips all over your face, your back, everywhere.
“I always heard my mother like, ‘No Joe, you’re gonna kill ‘em, you’re gonna kill ‘em’. And I would just give up, like there was nothing I could do… And I hated him for it,” he had revealed.
Joe Jackson still maintains he never beat his children. (ANI)
