Michael Jackson Used to Torture Janet

michael-jackson.jpg
The guy who was always pissed at the world for all the teasing he got was the world's biggest teaser himself!

In her new book True You, Janet Jackson reveals that while she adored her brother and he had a beautiful heart, he would mercilessly make fun of her when they were kids.

"He often told me that I needed to be thinner," she relates.

Michael would compare his little sis unfavorably to a thin, white girl at the roller rink, who was deemed to be perfect.

He'd even call Janet "Donk" as in donkey.

But the "Control" singer has long ago risen above all that.

"I actually cherish the name today," she writes, "because it was his gift to me."

That's nice, Donk, but I'd rather have diamonds!

Stupid attention grabbing headline, and stupid content. Michael and Janet were very fond of each other, for proof see the 1993 grammy legend awards. Oh and please just read the quotes, everything else is just pure bs.

And oh, if you've never been teased by a sibling or teased a sibling yourself, you're probably an only child or a sissy. "Donkey" is pretty mild.

now, she´s telling all after the fact that her dear brother was murdered. makes you wanna scream. can someone say: cashing-in. janet was, also, very sad as a little girl because whenever she had "friends" they always wanted to talk about michael. interviewers always asked her questions about michael.she never got over her jan brady complex. why it is always marsha, marsha, marsha? in this case: michael, michael, micheal. $$$$$$$$$

According to other articles/blogs, Janet told Today's Meredith Viera that her other brothers called her "pig, cow" and other derogatory names much worse than donkey. Yes "donkey" is hurtful, but I agree with the commenter that Michael was reenacting what he learned from Joe. Janet also said she desperately wanted to look like her oldest sister Rebbie.

Love how Janet's being cagey, saying he had a beautiful heart and the name calling was a wonderful gift, but meanwhile letting us know he was nasty.

He was just passing on the horrible behavior he learned from his father.
