In late July, Michael Jackson’s father,
Joe Jackson suffered a stroke in Brazil where he was seen partying in
Sao Paulo celebrating his 87th birthday. He was hospitalized on July 26
at the Albert Einstein Hospital and placed in intensive care. The stroke
was followed shortly after by a heart attack where his heart stopped
three times. The controversial Jackson family patriarch
has previously suffered three other strokes and the family was led to
believe it was the risk history that caused this incident as well – but
it was not!
Instead, Joe Jackson’s latest stroke and heart incident was caused by an overdose of erectile dysfunction drug Viagra according to this week’s edition of GLOBE.
Jackson was reportedly near death but was able to be revived after
partying with a woman more than 60 years younger than him – 25 year old
Angela Stilitti – along with a bevvy of other young women. Jackson had
taken them out bar hopping with him and insiders say his second night in
Sao Paulo was when Jackson made the near-fatal mistake of mixing booze
with three Viagra.
The next day he woke and was dizzy and
then suffered the stroke which caused the eldest Jackson to also blow a
blood vessel in his eye. Sao Paulo heart surgeons installed a pacemaker
to help stabilize Joe Jackson and he has recently returned to LA via
private jet in the company of three of his offspring. Ironically, it was
the first stroke Jackson suffered several years ago that led to his
erectile dysfunction issues and that was when he started using Viagra to
keep up with the much younger ladies in his life.
You would think that everyone related to
Michael Jackson would know by now to shy away from drugs period, much
less drugs taken to excess. Three times the Viagra does not equal three
times the fun, but apparently did equal three times the heart stoppage
for old Joe. Joe Jackson was spotted all over Sao Paolo in the company
of Angela Stilitti, a French singer whose career he reportedly
“manages.”
Prior to his medical incident, Joe
Jackson posted on his website, “Nothing but love from Brazil. Sao Paulo
is showering me with love and kindness.” Instead of enjoying his $200k
birthday bash, Joe Jackson ended up spending his birthday in the
hospital bordering on death. Of note is that none of his children were
in Brazil to celebrate his 87th.
That makes sense, as most of his children have accused him of abuse
– both physical and emotional – although Joe Jackson told Piers Morgan
in 2013, “I’m glad I was tough” and added “there’s no such thing as
beating a kid… you whip them or punish them over something they did and
they will remember that.” Likely they did remember it and that’s why Joe
Jackson was boozing and popping Viagra among strangers and then almost
died.
Janet Jackson did show up to accompany
her father from Brazil back to LA and his ex Katherine Jackson is
reportedly helping care for him while he recovers, but none of the kids
rushed to be by his side. Perhaps they were hoping that karma made an
appearance in Joe Jackson’s life – at long last – and they would be rid
of him and his heavy handed ways. No such luck – Jackson is still
kicking and looks to be on the mend.
