Katherine Jackson Gives First Interview

The Jackson family matriarch, Katherine Jackson, recently gave her first interview since the death of her son, Michael Jackson.

Speaking on Geraldo at Large, Katherine denounced rumors that her estranged husband, Joe Jackson was a bad father and is an absentee grandparent.

Katherine said, "I don't know why they're saying he's not being allowed in the house. My husband's never done nothing of the sort that they trying to say he did 39 years ago. I don't understand that, and I just believe it's something that they cooked up."
When asked if Joe is a good grandfather, Katherine said, "Of course he is. And the children will tell you that he is."

When it comes to what role Dr. Conrad Murray played in Michael's death, Katherine is not presumptuous in her opinion. She states, "All I know is that my son is dead, and I don't think he just died of natural causes or whatever. He's too young for that. Something happened, I don't know what it was and I can't say."

Katherine was recently awarded custody of the deceased star’s the children, which is a good thing. Even with her reassuring words about Joe, I still have my reservations about him being around the kids.
