Janet Jackson reveals horrible names Michael called her
Janet and Michael Jackson
Janet Jackson has revealed some of the horrible names her more famous brother, Michael called her.
“There were times when Mike used to tease me and call me names. Pig, horse, slut, or hog, cow,” Jackson said.
“He would laugh about it, and I’d laugh too, but then there was somewhere down inside that it would hurt,” she continued.
“When you have somebody say you’re too heavy, it affects you.”
She made the revelation in an upcoming documentary about her life that will be aired on A&E and Lifetime on Friday.
She spoke about the “scrutiny” that comes with having a famous last name, and years of living in her brother Michael’s shadow.
The documentary aptly titled “Janet” chronicles the life of the 55-year-old pop star and reveals a darker side to her relationship with her icon brother.
Well after her brothers had hit big as the Jackson 5, an 11-year-old Janet finally caught her own big break with a role on 1970s sitcom “Good Times,” playing Penny, a young girl from an abusive home who is adopted by the Woods family during the fifth season.
That’s when her weight issues began: “I did ‘Good Times’ and that’s the beginning of having weight issues and the way I looked at myself.”
“I’m an emotional eater, so when I get stressed or something is really bothering me, it comforts me,” said Jackson, whose weight has fluctuated over the years
