Joe Jackson - 'I Never Beat Michael'

He's proud of the way he brought his son up...

Michael Jackson's dad Joe has claimed in a new interview that he never beat his son.

In his lifetime, Michael spoke numerous times about the alleged abuse from his father – something Joe denies.

Speaking to US TV presenter Chris Connelly, 79-year-old Joe said he never treated his children any different to a lot of families and he only “spanked” them.

He said: "Michael was never beat as they call it. And everyone spanked their kids when they did wrong. But not beat."

Joe went on the claim that the children were spanked more by their mother Katherine than himself.

"Katherine spanked Michael more than I did, 'cause I was working two jobs and she was at home with him the most," he added.

Asked whether he'd change how he brought the Jacksons up, Joe continued: "No. I don't have any regrets. Yeah, we brought him up the right way."
