Oprah Winfrey Angers Randy With Jackson Interview For Show

Oprah Winfrey has visited Michael Jackson's family at their home in Los Angeles for an exclusive interview that will be aired on the host's show next Monday (8th November 2010). However, she has angered Randy Jackson, who says she is the "last person" Michael would have wanted around his children.

56-year-old Winfrey arrived in California to interview Katherine Jackson, the matriarch of the family, but Michael's children Prince Michael, Paris, and Blanket, also appeared in the filming and could be seen laughing and joking in the garden with their grandfather Joe Jackson, reports the UK's Daily Mirror. Katherine has rarely spoken since her son's sudden death in June 2009, so it comes as a surprise that she openly discussed the singer's childhood and his children in the exclusive interview.

Michael's brother RANDY JACKSON did not attend the interview, and he has publically criticised Oprah for wanting to speak with the family. The UK's Daily Telegraph report how he said his 'stomach ached', when he learned that the queen of daytime television would be visiting the house, and speaking on his Twitter page, Randy said, "I know there are a lot of you out there upset and angry over this. I don't blame you. Can you imagine how I feel? I'm angry too."

I use to like oprah I dont any more after I seen her interview with Michael and when she later interviewed Lisa Marie when she was mad at Michael. Oprah is two face nice to Michael to his face but behind his back she talks BAD of him. I have no respect for two face people.

How can Randy be mad about an interview? Is it really so toxic that the interview has given him tummy aches or is it because he will not be there for the interview? We all pity you Randy but Michael always loved Oprah and this is a hospitable visit with Katherine and the family closest to Michael. This will be a memorable visit and Michael is pleased. I am looking forward to the casual luncheon date visit and visiting Michael's children and his family closest to him. They are also pleased and jubilant to meet with Oprah and the hundreds of millions of fans who will be enjoying the Oprah visit to the Michael Jackson's family home in Encino and finally visiting his mom and beautiful children whom we all love very dearly. Michael's passing broke everyone's heart and also seemed to bring the members' of his family closest to him together. Oprah is loved by everyone and Michael approves. It is too bad that Randy will not be there for the once in a lifetime visit with the billions of fans who will be watching. We are sorry to hear about your stomach aches and tummy pains. I am not a Physician but perhaps you have an ulcer with regrets that you will not be a part of Oprah's visit as you will be residing in England. It would give me an ulcer too as Oprah has always been a personal friend of Michael and the family closest to him and you really should be there. Did you ever sue your security gaurd for allegedly informing people of your possible move to England? Where are you moving to next? Why not come to Australia? Don't tell me as I may tell someone else. Why not fly home for Oprah's visit with your family? Merry Christmas, M.H.

Randy, I totally agree with your feelings. I am afraid of this interview Oprah has done with the family, makes me wonder what will be left on the cutting room floor to make it the perfect interview SHE(Oprah)wants.Oprah never saw the true beautiful being Michael was, she was alway more worried about her ratings than the truth...how sad. But,always remember,she was the one who lost out by not seeing him as we do. Oprah's interview with Lisa Marie that was suppose to be to promote Lisa Marie's new album turned in to an interview for more 'dirt" on Michael.She knew Lisa Marie would "talk" and that is what she truely was after, she didn't give a rip about the new album. My wish: Is for ALL media to leave Michael and his family alone unless they truely have something nice to say about all Michael has done for the world and others in need. Michael was a true humanitarian, a true friend to those who he trusted (and most of you let him down), a true angel of our era that we will never see walk this earth again in our life times, we were blessed to say we either knew him or knew of him. We should all be thankful.To Oprah: I doubt you are reading any of our post here but, if you are, IF you are trying to redeam yourself, you're too late, the damage is done. There are no words you can say to us who truely loved Michael(fans, friends and family alike) that will repair the damage you have done with your hateful words of the past geared towards Michael and his family. You, Oprah are nothing but a money hungry, rating grabbing lier who will twist the truth to your benifit no matter at who's expence. People like you are the ones who give the media a BAD name.

seriously...if fat ass Oprah believes that Michael was guilty, why she interviewed the "pedophile´s" children??? Oprah, Oprah, Oprah...all for ratings. Im so angry too. Oprah is the last woman that I want to see interviewing those kids. why Katherine let that it happen??? Im so disappointed. those 3 kids dont have idea that Oprah say about his father. is sad.
