Can we really say LaToya has NO credibility AT ALL? She was the first (and only to my knowledge) family member to publicly state that her brother was
murdered, and since then the L.A. County coroner ruled his death a homicide.
Sure, LaToya may want to see profit by some of her claims. But if you really look at what she has said over the years, much of it is probably based
in truth. Come on, her father is a wack job. Anyone can see that just by watching the way he reacted to Michael's death that this man doesn't care
about anyone but "Number One." LaToya has said her upbringing was centered around the teachings of the Jehova Witnesses. She was at odds with the
extreme beliefs of the faith--she didn't agree with their philosophy (and rightly so, IMO). She was vilified by her family for this. She says her
father used verbal and physical, and sexual abuse against the kids to force their pursuit of careers in the music industry. Is any of that so hard to
believe.? I say, hell no it's not!
They denounced her marriage to Jack Gordon, who wound up being physically abusive to her (surprise, just like dad), yet her dad is the one who hired
the guy to manage her career in the first place!
It seems to me there's been more of an attempt on her family's end to discredit her to protect their own asses, as opposed to this being about her
making up a bunch of lies for money. Not saying she hasn't tried to profit from it--but I think she has more credibility than people think. I think
she's more credible than either one of her parents.
