which

at
the

contemporary
couple.
The
well
known
singer/actress
was
on
the

along
with
Tyler
Perry.
The
American
recording
artist
is
one

the
worlds"
most

Jackson
opened
up
when
questioned
about
her
brother,
Michael"s
death
by
candidly
speaking
that
she
was
at
her
home
in
New
York
City
when
she
received
a
call
from
her
assistant
relaying
reports
that
her
brother
had
fallen
ill.
After
speaking
with
her
sister
Latoya
and
brother
Jermaine,
Janet
learned
that
her
brother
had
died.
“It's
hard
to
believe
still
to
this
day," she
said
while
holding
back
tears.
"There
isn't
a
day
that
goes
by
where
I
don't
think
about
him.
Our
whole
family
thinks
of
him
every
single
day."
Jackson
said
she
has
difficulty
looking
at
pictures
of
Michael,
so
much
so
that
she
physically
turns
away
whenever
she
sees
videos
or
photographs
of
her
brother.
She
can,
however,
view
photos
of
Michael
as
a
child,
as
it
reminds
her
how
much
fun
they
had
together
in
their
youth.
The
last
time
Jackson
saw
her
brother
was
a
month
before
his
death,
when
it
was
apparent
to
the
entire
Jackson
family
that
Michael
was
very
ill.
Janet
said
she
and
her
other
family
members
staged
an
intervention
for
Michael,
but
the
late
pop
sensation
adamantly
denied
having
any
health
issues.
Perry
took
to
Janet
and
her
family's
defense,
strongly
emphasizing
that
the
Jacksons
did
their
very
best
to
help
Michael
in
the
days,
weeks
and
months
prior
to
his
death.
.
Janet
said:
"He
was
so
kind
and
everyone
was
so
sweet.
...
He
was
by
my
side."
In
this
very
exclusive
interview,
Janet
revealed
that
she's
currently
writing
a
self-esteem
book
titled
"True
to
You," there
are
also
Dr
Murray"s
fondest
memories
of
Michael
and
lots
more…straight
from
the
heart.
