Ever Since Michael Died

Jermaine Jackson has maintained a high profile, speaking on his dead brother's behalf and vowing to devote the rest of his life to spreading Michael's message. This was so not the case back in 2003 when he was shopping an explosive tell-all book about his most famous sibling. Here's a taste of what Jermaine had to say back then.
“My brother is a superstar, yes. My brother is wealthy. He owns shares in Sony music. He drinks, he does drugs, he lies, he cheats, he changed his skin color and mostly, he’s human. He attracts gay men and wards off women like the plague.”
Not all of Jermaine's poison pen was reserved for Michael. He had a few choice things to say about Pappa Joe, too. Namely, “Joseph did some disgusting things to LaToya and Rebbie, especially. If it weren’t for Mother’s loyalty to him, he’d probably be in prison for what he did to our sisters.”
