Joe and Katherine Jackson
Joe and Katherine Jackson significantly propelled their children, The Jackson Five, to chart-topping success in the 1970s. However, their parenting approach was marked by excessive discipline and mistreatment of the kids. Consequently, the Jackson boys were deprived of a normal childhood and compelled to devote five hours daily after school to rigorous music practice.
The impact of such upbringing extended far into their adult lives. Joe’s behavior towards his children was often harsh, and Michael, in particular, suffered the brunt of his physicality. It’s even reported that Joe bestowed the nickname “Big Nose” upon MJ, which might have contributed to the King of Pop’s later obsession with plastic surgery. The scars of their upbringing were deep and had lasting effects on the Jackson family.
