Just days after Sundance Film Festival attendees were left disgusted after watching the new Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland, a resurfaced interview had added fuel to the disturbing allegations against the late singer.
An interview with La Toya Jackson from 1993 sees Jackson’s sister respond to child sexual grooming and assault allegations, which were detailed in the new two-part documentary Leaving Neverland.
In the video, Jackson’s older sister speaks to NBC News about claims made by the singer’s first public accuser, Jordan Chandler.
Watch a snippet of La Toya Jackson’s interview below.
La Toya, who was in her thirties at the time of the interview, admitted that her mother Katherine was “outraged” after discovering cheques in 1984 which had been made out to the families of children who reportedly slept with Jackson.
“There were two cheques that I know of that she has shown me and it’s for a substantial amount of money and she was outraged over it,” La Toya said.
“My mother is very much aware of the children that were there. All the boys that stayed there,” she continued.
“She’s the one who always said that Michael, excuse my expression, ‘that f***ot’.
“That’s what she would say all the time. She knows it. And now she’s denying it and that’s what hurts.”
