Nipplegate controversy and possible anorexia: what Michael Jackson's three sisters look like and what they do today. Photo

The legendary singer Michael Jackson was known throughout the world not only for his vocal skills, but also for his large family, which consisted of ten children. Almost all of them chose a public career: five brothers burst onto the scene as part of the Jackson Five, while the sisters became solo singers.

In total, Michael Jackson is survived by three sisters and six brothers, one of whom was a half-brother. Two of his sisters chose to be artists, while the third disappeared from the public eye. OBOZ.UA collected some information about them.

Rebbie Jackson

Rebbie Jackson is the eldest child in the family. She was originally a member of the Jackson Five, but in the 1980s she began a solo career, releasing her debut album Centipede in 1984. The title song of this album was written and produced by Michael Jackson and became a hit.

Rebbie has always been less public than her famous siblings. Her marriage to Nathaniel Brown caused a split in the Jackson family. The woman wanted to give up her music career and move to another city with her husband, but her father was against it. A few days later, he finally agreed to his daughter's wish, who always put the needs of a happy home above her career.

Nowadays, Rebbie Jackson avoids publicity as much as possible - the last time she attended a social event was back in 2013.

La Toya Jackson

La Toya is the second daughter in the Jackson family. Interestingly, she was born on her older sister's birthday. She was a backing vocalist for the Jackson Five and simultaneously pursued her own solo career, releasing two albums in the 1980s. Since childhood, she had dreamed of becoming a lawyer, but her father insisted on show business and forced her to step over her ambitions.

It is known that La Toya had visited Moscow twice: the first time in 1989 and the second time in 2010. She performed with Russian artists such as Laskovy May.

The singer is currently experiencing health problems. After her brother Tito Jackson died of a heart attack in September 2024, she began to lose weight rapidly. She used to weigh 56 kg, but now she's around 45. Because of this, La Toya's friends are concerned that she may die of anorexia.

Janet Jackson

Janet is the youngest and most famous daughter of the Jackson family. She also chose the path of an artist and pursued a solo music career. Over the decades of her career, Janet has sold over 100 million records and released many hits. During her brilliant era, the singer has received five Grammy Awards, an Oscar nomination, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"Loving what I do and being grateful that God has allowed me to do what I enjoy and for people to still be interested. I’m very thankful," she said in an interview with The Guardian.

However, there is one moment from her artistic life that many people remember the most. During a performance at the 2004 Super Bowl, Justin Timberlake, who was singing alongside Jackson, tore off some of the singer's clothes and exposed her breasts. 90 million viewers saw this incident live. The screenshots became the most popular search requests at the time.
