A lot of people do not know that Michael Jackson has a half-sister who is younger than Janet. Her name is Joh Vonnie Jackson. I first learned about her in my early twenties and I have always felt very sorry for her, because her older siblings want nothing to do with her. They have never even met her, they say, because she is not their mother, Katherine's child.
I read in Latoya Jackson's book that she spoke to her once one the phone. Could you imagine having brother's and sister's who are that famous and never having the opportunity to meet them. I know I for one would have issues. It is nice to see that her father has remained a part of her life though.

I wouldnt be happy either to be honest, they probably think that she wants to bother wuth them and be part of their life, just becasue she wants their mponey, well Id liked to have been part of their lives just like her. Itd be great to have someone as famous as MJ and that in your family, and I wouldnt be bothered if they had money that isnt the POINT!! Its goood though that her father is still involved.

They have known of her since she was two years old. They have had plenty of opportunity to embrace her. I know that it hurt Katherine, but she should have took it out on her husband and not the child. If my future husband were to do something like that, I would pray to God that I never once made the child suffer for something that he did. It's not her fault. It's not like their family was perfect and squeaky clean, until she came along. She would have fit right in with all the other dysfunction.

I did not know that he had another child but it doesn't suprise me either. If I was her, I'd be glad I wasn't subjected to that household when I was little and I'd probably not be bragging that I was even related to that mess of a family.
To be honest, I can somewhat understand if the Jackson kids are bitter towards Joh Vonnie (as adults) because she was not subjected to Joseph's rage and abuse while they all were. They are all screwed up because of him, I have no doubt about that and she may be the only normal one because of what she didn't have to live with.
I do not know these people but from what I have read and seen and heard about Joe Jackson, he doesn't deserve to have a single ounce of respect from any of his children.

I believe that respect is the only thing that he does get from them. But it is not out of love, but fear. He is quit to talk about how he made them successful, but at what cost. And I am sure that he has enjoyed the things that being famous has afforded them, but I am sure that now that he is older, he has many regrets from pushing his children too hard and abusing them in the process.
Of the nine, Janet, is the most normal. I believe that is only because she was too young to catch all of the madness in the early days, but even she has a lot of resentment in her heart. Especially, since this sister took her place as the baby girl to her father.

Rozie,
It is one thing to have respect for your parents especially when your grown, but not to love him? We don't know what kind of background Joe had, you got to remember that those formative years of his life is what shaped him and to take that into consideration. Another thing, are they even in touch with those Jackson relations that they share a name with? I hear them talk about Katherine's family, The Scruses, but never the Jackson side that much. I find that odd. But I guess it goes back to being brought up the way you have.

I did not know this and i thank you for sharing this info with us here at mylot. I guess there are things you think you know but than you find out differently. For me I see it this way I have a half sister as well and I will never meet her. I am sad about it but I look at it this way, she does not want to put herself out there and when my dad passed away that was her chance to meet me and my brothers but she never showed. I guess someday I could meet her but I doubt it. Take care and thanks again for sharing this. Happy mylotting as well.

The first link shows that this picture is Joh Vonnie also spelled JaVonnie in some places.
The second link somewhat explains why the Jackson kids don't like her. Joe showed his love for her more!!!

I do not think that it is fair to completely blame Katherine's children for their response toward their sister. Yes, Now they are adults and could take the responsibility upon themselves to contact her but at the same time we have to understand that they are aslo dealingf with the fact that not only did their father cheat on their mom, but he had the nerve to father a child. They have no REAL relationship with their dad, which is mostly his fault and they are still even at 40 and up, dealing with these underlying issues. And this is the same father that this young lady lives with, and most likey influenced by. We do not know that she has reached out to them either. Maybe they do not maintain a relationship with her because of a misguided loyalty to their mother. There are so many factors that we do not know, and being in a similar situation I can see how it could be uncomfortable to approach a situation such as this, whether it be right or wrong.

I actually am not very surprised by the reaction of their children. My father had several out of wedlock children, I do not know most of them (except one of them) and we are not really close. You just cannot force a relationship, sometimes blood really is not enough. Haven't we all seen cases where friends are closer than brothers or sisters? My full siblings are close, we grew up together and shared so much. And again, I come from Africa where polygamy is not uncommon, neither is it uncommon for some men to have children with multiple women. Siblings who share the same mother tend to be MUCH MUCH closer.
