Janet Jackson speaks about being grossly obese and her weight causing health problems

Jackson says certain “emotional triggers” involving boredom, sadness, frustration, stress and work, make her turn to mostly to sweets. “Chocolate, cake, caramel apples-there aren’t many things I don’t love,” explains Jackson.

Jackson said her body image was not the only concern she had while steadily gaining weight. “Health was always a concern. When I gained weight in 2005, my nutritionist was very worried. I was close to having diabetes. Even when I lost it [and] then gained quite a bit back, there was always the thought of heart disease.”

I've always been very good about eating healthy - but I binge like crazy sometimes when I'm emotionally unwell. Three times in my life I gained like 30-50 pounds in no time. I'm getting close to my normal weight again now but late last year I was going through it and I was absolutely crushing peanut m&ms, chips ahoy, lemon pound cake, and kettle chips for months. Junk food is just as good as xanax or percosets.

She's obviously still in love with those foods because she remains a grossly obese whale all this time later. She should have her jaw wired shut but she probably can't afford it.

She can't fight her genes. Her mother also got quite large as she aged.

Quite large is putting it mildly R3.

Her mother and brother were both anti-semetic, I wonder if she "inherited" that too?

OMG I am HOWLING reading the article at r8. Check out this little nugget:

[quote] A particularly low point came in 2003. No money was coming in, few of them had actual jobs and ­Janet gave but one gift to her siblings: free meal cards to Baja Fresh, a fast-food chain with which she had an endorsement deal.[/quote]

[quote]I visited Rebbie, the oldest of the Jackson kids, in Vegas, to work on a book. It was Baja Fresh for breakfast, lunch and dinner. From there I drove to Hayvenhurst, the family’s estate in Encino, Calif., to meet Katherine, the matriarch, and Jermaine.[/quote]

[quote]And for 2¹/₂ weeks it was . . . Baja Fresh.[/quote]

And let's not forget that Michael Jackson was a notorious paedophile who raped dozens of little boys over decades and destroyed God knows how many lives. And the entire Jackson family knew what was going on and they covered it up by paying off the right people and leaning on the right people in the music industry to protect him so he could go on raping little boys. The Jackson were a family of paedophile deniers and paedophile protectors so that their cash cow kept making them millions - Janet included.

Let's never forget that.

From the article at R7:

[quote] Mr Wiesner and Mr Schaffel used to help the singer get around banking restrictions so he could have more money. Jackson tells Mr Schaffel in one message. "Please, I really like you. I love you ... Mark, I really need you to get ... 7m for me as soon as possible."

What kind of banking restrictions would those be?

R12 very true. I knew about the paedophilia (you'd have to be living under a rock or wilfully ignorant not to) but the anti-semitism pointed out by R5 and suppoted by the links at R7/ R8/ R9 is news to me. They really were a trash family by the sound of it

Yes you're spot on R17 - the entire Jackson family are nasty trash.

La Toya is the only sane one.

by Anonymousreply 19August 26, 2024 1:09 PM

R17, I didn't know about the anti-Semitism until a few days ago. I thought it was a bunch of bullshit until I just googled. And then Jackson's comments came up. Wow, he really was disgusting. And don't forget the lyrics of "They Don't Care About Us". MJ claimed (of course) that people were "misinterpreting" what he was saying. He really did think everyone else was so stupid and he was so smart.

[quote] On June 15, 1995, a day before the release of HIStory, The New York Times reported that "They Don't Care About Us" contained racist and antisemitic content. The publication highlighted the lyrics....

R20 Wow. I did not know that! Holy shit what was he thinking? Here's the lyric in question

[quote]"Jew me, sue me, everybody do me/ Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me"

Add that on top of the recorded phone call its pretty damning. And then there's the child molesting

R23, right? This person did everything in broad daylight and managed to pull the wool over peoples eyes for so long. And he really, REALLY tried to argue that people were trying to make him look "icky" by twisting those lyrics

The irony is that the Jackson family disapproved of Janet's marriage to the DeBarge guy. Why? Because they thought the family was too ghetto and trashy.

Did Joe marry Katherine because she had polio and wanted to make her feel like she owed him for that?

by Anonymousreply 28August 26, 2024 4:23 PM

The Jackson family are also Jehovah's Witnesses. That's a serious level of religious cult. No wonder they are all so fucked up.

Apparently Michael Jackson remained devout his entire life - whatever that actually means - while he was sexually molesting little boys and doing whatever else he was doing.

The apples comment reminds of how at parties people would bob for apples and at Halloween give out caramel apples. Can you imagine doing that now? Times have really changed.
