Jermaine Waited Till Now to Tell His Brothers How He felt?


How convenient.. waited till there were cameras around to tell his brothers how he really feels after all these years.

THANK YOU!!!

That scene was a fail.

The whole thing seems "scripted". Even, shamefully, mom telling them to go back to Gary.

Plus that whole Motown to CBS incident took place 34 years ago! 34 years! Come on Jermaine, your crocodile tears fool no one...

Believe it or not, this happens A LOT. Even in my own family. People hold on to 20+ years of issues. Now, why wait for the cameras? I don't know. But it's better to do it now than never. Again, we are not dealing with a normal set of men. They have been carrying pain since childhood, which some of that being partially our fault. Well, not OUR-- I should say the media's fault. And as you see, they still have more issues we're going to see. I'll just put it like this; if the family did not have issues, I doubt they would have a show.

Yes, this happened over 30 years. I just find it so strange for someone to say they value their private life but yet tell this important heart felt news to his brothers on national tv. I don't even think his brothers saw it coming and were surprised. Jermaine is a attention whore. And yeah, he was the one who abandon the Jackson 5 first. They supported Jermaine during that time when he was trying to make his solo career happened. It went south so J5 decided to move along without him and rightfully so.


Out of all the Jacksons, I feel Jermaine is the only one who was and probably still is jealous of Michael's solo success..

I know right I guess it was now or never. If Jermaine would have told how he felt back then, then they would have still been a group I guess. In one way I feel sorry for Jermaine I started to shed some tears.

What made me laugh was when Jermaine said what he had to say and Tito was like

Jermaine: "For the longest time everyone thought I stayed with Motown cause I married to the boss's daughter. And it was never about that."
Tito: "I thought it was."

Lol to me the "I thought it was." was funny, the way he said it or something. I'm probably alone lol.

Amazingly enough this kind of thing happens in families all the time. People bury their feelings and harbor resentment for decades. (My mother is 78 and has recently told me about issues that she has with her mother and sister when she was a teenager!)

When Jermaine first rejoined his brothers they probably decided to let it go and just move forward without talking it out and clearing the air. The same with the Austria tribute debacle. I doubt all that stuff was fake.

HOWEVER...
I fail to see how Siggy could possibly be surprised when Jackie stopped by the bike shop. Didn't he notice the FILM CREW that was taping him and the other guys for a while before Jackie walked in???

I wondered why Jermaine had that talk about 33 years later but I guess he wanted an audience.
