Jackson Family Patriarch Joe Recovering From a ‘Mini-Stroke’
Joe Jackson – father of Janet, LaToya, the late Michael, the rest of the Jackson 5 and who knows who else – suffered a “mini-stroke” on Nov. 29 and is undergoing treatment at a Las Vegas hospital.
“He was doing well and says he’s feeling okay,” close family friend and one-time Jackson attorney Brian Oxman told Reuters when asked how Joe is feeling. He added that the ordeal began when Joe felt weak while walking around a park and was taken to a hospital.
According to Oxman, Jackson is currently “talking fine. He sounded excellent to me.”
It should be noted that Oxman is not a doctor and has absolutely no medical training, but at least he knows what conscious people look like. He did reveal that Joe has a history of strokes, which we’re guessing might’ve been brought on by the stress of being a terrible and exploitative father.
Regardless, a loving tweet from LaToya revealed that her dad is convalescing nicely.
Thank you all so very much for your concerns in regard to my father! he is recovering and is doing a lot better!
