Secret sis who split Jacksons
Michael Jackson: I'm a magnet for miracles
Read messages Jacko left in his bathroom on the day he died.
THIS is the secret sister of Michael Jackson who sparked a bitter family rift which still drags on today.
The superstar's hatred for his father Joe was fuelled by his close relationship with love-child Vonnie.
The King of Pop loathed two-faced Joe's "devotion" to Vonnie - the daughter he had after a fling with Cheryl Terryl in 1975.
Tormented Jacko never forgave his father for the kindness shown to the girl - something he claimed he never saw growing up. He told how he was "whipped" by Joe and bullied into performing.
Family sources say the emotional scars ran deeper than the physical trauma he suffered as a teenager.
Jacko once said: "He never hugged me, but he never had any problem with her. He hugged her - I never understood that."
Beatings
Pals of Jacko added: "Michael came to terms with the cruelty and beatings from his father.
"But their rift was mainly due to Joe's devotion to Vonnie. He felt that Joe favoured her over the rest of his siblings.
"Jackson hated Joe for betraying his beloved mum Katherine with the fling. That emotional burden stayed with him for many years."
Vonnie, 24, - who was born the day after Jacko's 16th birthday - has never spoken publicly about her connection to The Jacksons on the advice of Joe.
The source added: "When Katherine and Joe ended up living separate lives Vonnie moved in with Joe. Michael found that unsettling, and it again fuelled the rift. When Michael lived in Vegas, he barely saw his dad in case he ever saw his stepsister.
"Michael refused to even consider Vonnie part of the family."
Vonnie attempted to build a career in music but ended up working at Las Vegas airport.
A family friend said: "Vonnie was a huge embarrassment to their family. She is the Jackson sibling that no one ever really wanted to recognise."

She look's just like dear old dad joe doesn't she?

While I have sympathy for MJ, I'm getting tired of it at the same time. I had a BAD childhood too, but at 50 I wasn't still whining over it either.
I think MJ needed lots of therapy, and just gotten over it for crying out loud. He's not the first person that had a bad father, geez.

In 2001 My sister's controlling husband brought home a kid he fathered after 4 yrs of marriage, till date my sister hates that little girl. I keep tellin her that its not d little girls fault bt that of her hubby and d girls mother who had an affair wit a married man, but sincerely, if I m in her shoes, it ll be difficult 4 me to accept that child.

Michael deserved to be loved, too. And, if my father had ever betrayed my mother like that, I would probably never have spoken another word to him. My dad did not.....fortunately....but, I have NO respect for either spouse who cheat's.
By Little_Feather. Posted August 27 2009 at 10:28 PM.
Who the hell did michael think he was not to accept Vonnie? Why couldnt he have his own biological chidren out of wedlock too? They should give vonnie a break.I feel for that poor girl. She has every right to be here.Shame on michael jackson.
By Gina. Posted August 24 2009 at 11:02 PM.
it was never her fault,she deserves to be loved.
By mani. Posted August 22 2009 at 5:06 PM.
vonnie did not ask to be here is true.she is with joe
michael and his siblings did not have to suckup to her
he was unfaithful to thier mother and he is showing
more love for her than his other children.all of them
have their own life and families to look after to make sure they feel loved and grow up in a happy
family.She will be alright and maybe one day they
will have in thier hearts to accept her as a half
sister.just don"t try to push it on them.
By emma. Posted August 18 2009 at 2:49 PM.
NO, I t wasn't vonnie fault, but Michael didn't have to accept her as their family. It was his father outside family. As for everybody calling him wacko ,Jacko and what ever names. He wasn't any messed up then anybody else . We all got somebody in our family messing things up or have minds problems and they got the nerves to talk about him. I loved him too and never believed all the bad rumors about him. If I could have talked to him, I would have told him not to worry about what people say about him . As long as God knows better that all that matter!!!!! He been through a lot and unless you walked in his shoes you don't know nothing. I prayed for him and his family!!!!!! God rest his soul.

It is not the poor girls fault but then it is not up to Michael to fight the Dad for showing love to the girl, Katherine is more than capable,besides without those strict supervision maybe there wont be any MJ today.
By patrick. Posted August 17 2009 at 11:17 PM.
To be honest much as I feel sorry for Michael and how mixed up he was, I don't feel it was fair of him to ignore Vonnie. It wasn't the girls fault she was conceived by that awful father they shared. Kudos to her too for never speaking out about anything.
By M Appleton. Posted August 17 2009 at 10:24 PM.
Was she invited to the funeral? It is sad that MJ or his siblings did not embrace this young lady. She is their flesh and blood sister regardless of Joe's actions. Yet, 3 non biological children born from surrogates, have inherited Jackson's fortune. Does any of this make any sense? Evidently blood is not thicker than water. Mr. Jackson was probably the greatest entertainer of our time, yet his logic and his lifestyle does not make him a candidate for sainthood. He was full of contradictions. Dare not I say, even hypocrisy.

Michael finally told his dad for the first time by phone that he loved him I think about 2002. It's on you tube. I don't think it was within him to hate, however, when one is deeply hurt on several levels it is difficult to differentiate between that emotion and hate
By chandy. Posted August 17 2009 at 1:46 PM.
how sad for the girl, it wasn't her fault. I bet she has plenty of issues now too bless.
By seeking the truth. Posted August 17 2009 at 12:25 PM.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS UNLESS YOU HAVE SUFFERED LIKE MICHAEL DID AND HAD TO GO THROUGH WHAT HE WENT THROUGH- NONE OF YOU UNDERSTAND. HE ADORED HIS MOTHER AND WHAT HIS FATHER DID HIS ENTIRE LIFE WAS WRONG AND MICHAEL WAS ENTITLED TO FEEL AND ACT AS HE DID. I LOVED MICHAEL ALL HIS LIFE SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE BITTY BOY - WE ARE THE SAME AGE. I LOVE HIM NOW AND FOREVER AND GOD BLESS HIM AND KATHERINE.
By NATIVESY. Posted August 17 2009 at 5:55 AM.
i still love micheal is not his fault his dad never teach him about family love that is why he is always looking for love out side the family.
By by reds. Posted August 17 2009 at 12:21 AM.
Yes I'm not surprised at all by this or by MJ's reaction. It doesn't change my opinion of MJ being a great musician, a creative dreamer and ultimately a victim of his upbringing.
By smarkov. Posted August 16 2009 at 6:40 PM.
don't blame Michael for not accepting as apart of the family because he hated everything about his dad and joe loved this girl more than he loved Michael and it can be painful to see and have a normal relationship with her when she is the n0 1! for joe......don't blame him...............
By banu. Posted August 16 2009 at 12:09 PM.
Disclaimer to the wolves out there: I do like Mj. I also loooooooove his music.
I however hae the fawing adoration of some people that won't let them even critique any of his actions.
So here it is in black and white. This article shows the Mj is not all sweetness and light. You can hate your dad or mum or all you like. But how about showing some understanding for your sister who didn't chose to be the outsider?
All of that money, all of that fame, all of that experience but not enough thoughtfulness to reach out to your flesh and blood in your lifetime. Whose loss is it really?
Just reach out people. Look within and reach out as far as you can. Peace!

THE JACKSONS MAKE OUT THEY ARE SO PERFECT WHEN REALLY THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE...LIKE IT OR NOT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE A JACKSON!!!
By cravena. Posted August 16 2009 at 10:19 AM.
Poor Vonnies got as much right to be here as anyone else. Why should she be made to feel unaccepted.
Who are they to judge. Its not her fault that she is here.
She must be feeling terrible that 'they' don't want to know her. What happened to unconditional love?
By Patty. Posted August 16 2009 at 9:11 AM.
i never heard about jon vonnie..
By lemy. Posted August 16 2009 at 9:07 AM.
It wasn't the girls fault,she didn't ask to be born.
By gran. Posted August 16 2009 at 8:58 AM.
i don't think michael hated her but i also don't think he nore the rest of his brother and sisters cared to much for her. was she at the memorial?
By briana. Posted August 16 2009 at 5:28 AM.
yh we all know that he hated jon vonnie, he even talks about it in the phone conversations on youtube, i don't blame him though hving a father that's cruel to you but loving towards his illegitimate child is really a slap in the face. especially after all that he did for that family, after all it was his talent that raised them out of poverty
By sickening!!!. Posted August 16 2009 at 4:12 AM.
poor michael!
if my father betrayed my mother like that i would NEVER speak to him again.
