LaTOYA JACKSON claims she'd have ended up becoming a porn star, if her ex-husband Jack Gordon's wishes had been granted.

The singer, sister of MICHAEL and Janet Jackson, sparked outrage among her largely religious family members when she made two appearances in men's magazine Playboy in the 1990s, and then appeared in a Playboy CELEBRITY CENTERFOLD video.

LaToya, 48, claims she never wanted to pose for Playboy or make the video, but was forced to by Gordon, who she also alleges was physically abusive throughout their relationship.

But in 1996, when her career had plummeted, LaToya claims Gordon insisted she made a pornographic film.

She tells American TV show 20/20, "He had me scheduled to do a pornographic movie, and I wasn't gonna stoop that low.

"He had made me do everything on this earth and I wasn't stooping that low."

Jackson, who eventually divorced Gordon in 1997, adds, "I look at it now and go, 'You idiot. Why did you do these things? Why didn't you just walk away? It's not that easy. You just don't do it."
