In the wake of the controversy surrounding the controversial Leaving Neverland documentary, Michael Jackson’s big sis,’ La Toya Jackson, seems to be having a nostalgic moment about her painful abusive past, when she was also the ostracized member of the Jackson fam.’
Most of us, Old Schoolers, remember when La Toya went on a media blitz to accuse Michael of being a child abuser in 1992. She claimed and their pops, Joe Jackson, sexually, physically, and emotionally abused her and sister, Rebbie- all of which the Jacksons denied.
At that time, everybody and their mommas thought La Toya had lost her ever-lovin’ mind, because she’d become an uncharacteristic version of the ‘La Toya’ that fans had known. Nonetheless, years later La Toya confessed that she’d outright lied on her fam’ because her then ‘abusive’ husband/manager, Jack Gordon (pictured above), forced her to do so.
Fast forward to decades later in 2019, when La Toya (64) shared another horrible experience about her abuse, along with visual proof, and we give her props for speaking out…
Her Battered Photo…

In a prior emotional Instagram post, La Toya shared a throwback photo of herself with two black eyes, which were presumably from her abusive marriage to Jack Gordon from 1989 to 1997. In her photo caption, La Toya expressed gratitude for making it through that time in her life and encouraged anyone who needed to hear that message to do the same:
“Freedom is extremely important to me, simply because I thought there was a time that I wouldn’t exist. I wasn’t able to be myself and express myself, I was beaten, I was dictated to and told exactly what to say to the Media and how, or else…. I simply wasn’t allowed to speak to anyone, read or even watch-television. I didn’t even know how to use a cell phone or computer because he didn’t want me to gain knowledge from the outside world. I wasn’t privy to it.
I’m simply urging you to take control of your life and not allow anyone and I do mean ANYONE to control you.
My inexperience of not knowing how Manipulative, Conniving and Controlling people can enter one’s life is DEVASTATING! I’m passing on my experience to you and I hope you get some Wisdom and [Understanding] out of this! And simply allow this NOT to happen to you!Always Love, Light, Kindness, Positivity & Stay Strong! I LOVE YOU ALL!
Husband Tried To Pimp Her Out To Tyson?!!
In 2011, La Toya shocked the hell outta everybody when she appeared on The Talk daytime show and revealed that Gordon once tried to sell her for sex to Mike Tyson for $100,000.00:
“Mike Tyson later told my mother and father and some other friends that he (Gordon) had told him that if he wanted to sleep with me he has to pay $100,000,” La Toya told the shocked audience.
She also said her ex-husband forced her to have group sex and more:
“I was in brothels and everything. He put me(it was) everything I was against. He made me do Playboy twice and had me sit on the stage and say ‘Oh no, it was all my idea … And I had to do that because I knew what he said he would do, he would do it,” La Toya confessed.
Years later, she says she saw a lot of similarities between her past abusive marriage and the controlling situation Michael was in when he passed:
“In the last days, I found my brother being in that same situation as I was in. I was fortunate enough to get away and start over but unfortunately he was not. It was really heartbreaking.”
Seems like La Toya Jackson has grown a lot from her past. Hopefully, her story will help someone else who may be going through a similar abusive situation.
