Top 10 Most Effed Up Celebrity Families

Jacksons
Members: Joe, Katherine, Michael, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Janet, LaToya
Dinner Table Topics: Financial & Legal Woes, Domestic Abuse, Plastic Surgery Addiction, Wardrobe Malfunctions

When a pre-teen, button-nosed Michael Jackson took the stage with his brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon as the chart-topping group The Jackson 5, who would have known that the smiling, dancing group of brothers would come crashing down years later into a sea of financial, emotional, and legal woes. Their manager and father, Joe Jackson, was rumored to be overly pushy with the boys and was accused by several family members of abuse. Their sister Janet Jackson would launch a successful career as a TV star and singer, but made the world gasp when her boob popped out during the 2004 Superbowl halftime show, and branded the term "wardrobe malfunction." Their sister LaToya never could quite find her footing in an uber-successful family, and made a failed attempt to make a name for herself by posing for Playboy. Oh, and that button-nosed Michael leading the Jackson 5 in too-cute ballads like "I'll Be There"; his rumored proclivity for plastic surgery left his nose far from what it once was and his alleged sexual preference for young boys found him on trial for child molestation charges for the second time in 2005, where he made bizarre appearances in pajamas and then danced on a parked van outside the courthouse. Mother Katherine is said to be the only family member who still talks to the reportedly near-bankrupt MJ, who recently snubbed the entire family by not showing up to a ceremony honoring the work of the Jackson 5. Several in the family suffer from financial hardship, including Marlon, who reportedly stocks shelves at a Vons market and Jermaine, who does odd jobs like repair tires to support himself.
