GLADYS KNIGHT Paris Jackson Deserves Her Teeth KNOCKED OUT

another story, another lie, assumptions, here we go again...more ingredients to the pie.

I guess Glady's is saying this from a place of heart but she's 'misguided' in her idea and I guess 'emotional' when it's something she feels strongly about. The motivation behind it is coming from a good place, but the statement is overly exaggerated in where she is trying to 'convey' her feelings....heck I don't know...lol

Right. For me "Cry" is THE theme for this reality show.  :icon_e_wink:

Totally off topic, but I am in love with Gladys' jacket.

What I see is escalation, and people taking sides.  Ignorance rules.  Isn't that the way with all hatred, wars and violence.
If the story is true about the language (we only have the visual of argument and iphone camera rolling), then PPB have been violated as minors first. There Grandma/gaurdian was taken away from them without proper explanation--bottom line.
But I believe it's all a show--to see where the chips will fall.

I totally think people need to relisten to what Gladys said-- not that she should have had her teeth knocked out but in HER childhood where SHE was raised SHE would have had her teeth knocked out.... Sounds a bit like understanding the context of Joe/Michael to me. And as we all understand, Michael forgave his father in tIME.  I hear it with hoaxy ears....

I love  Gladys. She is in on the hoax.

:th_bravo: I agree....there has to be a point in the article other than this lady expressing her opinion of something she has absolutely nothing to do with...

I think Gladys gave his opinion from his own experience, were other times when children were given a spanking or a slap to correct, children today are more respected in their rights and do not need physical punishment.

Gladys was trying to crack a funny, and it shouldn't be taken out of context. Interesting how words when put into print can lose the original inflection they were initially spoken with.  Nice Jacket by the way. First thought I had when I saw the pic was I could see myself wearing that. I think Gladys is looking good for her age.

I agree marumjj,

Gladys Knight was only going by what she know how it was back then.  Parents were more harsh to their kids even further back than Mr. Jackson was with his kids.  They were into that spare the rod biblical reference.  She's speaking from experience. 

And then of course Knight didn't say exactly what TMZ printed.  She didn't say Paris deserves to get her teeth knocked out or she's a snot nosed little brat.  In fact, all the tabloids didn't print that Paris called Janet anything did they?  They wrote that Janet called her the b word.  So I'm confused.

And btw, Knight said people read into what Paris tweets.  Well isn't that what she's doing?  Reading into what tabloids are writing?

[bugsy]

She is not Jackson family so what does she know what's really going on.
and for her sayin that Paris would not have any teeth left it is was her she was talking to like that just shows the point how no one should pay attention to Gladys.

Yes Paris is 14 years old and a teenager.

Everyone seem to be getting off track in the media, she began tweeting because she wanted her grandmother back home and because Randy began lying about the stroke (that was probably what started all the worrying). And Janet, Jermaine and randy and Rebbi was preventing them to get a hold of Katherine.

Media is spinning out of control.

Who know what would have happened to Katherine or the kids if she didn't tweet that stuff.

That's the media though, spin it so out of control that the actual story to begin with is lost and appears to have never existed.. spirals down the rabbit hole.

I find it really hard hearing people say that abo,ut young people it doesn't matter how it was in the 50's, 60's or the 80's those years are long gone and we are in the 21st century

You know if Joe said this he'd probably be run out of town on a rail or burned at a stake some where or tarred n feathered n left in stocks.

Gladys Knight says it and everyone shrugs.

Think about that.

maybe it was misunderstood
