86: La Toya Jackson & Jack Gordon

During the late 80s and early 90s, La Toya Jackson became one of the most highly publicized and ridiculed members of her family for being honest with the public in reference to her father’s abuse and her mother’s compliancy. She was also one of the first people to speak out against her brother Michael in 1993 during his sexual abuse case. At the same time, La Toya was forced into an extremely abusive and controlling marriage with her music manager, Jack Gordon. This week we’ll explore all the details surrounding their relationship.
