By all accounts, he was a raging, abusive a-hole.

I think he really was the bad. Reports of his abusive nature have been going around for as long as I can remember.

And was Michael's driver really that close to him and his best friend?
I figured they needed a strong antgonist and a strong ally hence building them both up to be larger than life.

With movie being produced by the family- If anything I think they played it down.

There are rumors that he had Michael chemically castrated to keep his voice from changing which would explain some of Michael's weirdness. I am not saying I believe it, but it is a fairly persistent rumor.

I can't remember the book but this woman maybe a director was gonna do. Janet Jacksons video and had to deal with him and he was a domineering a-hole. It's all in those beady slitty eyes. He beat the kid outta Mike

I always heard he was an a-hole, same as the Osmond's Dad.

Hot take there.

Look, I think that Michael Jackson was simultaneously a genius entertainer and a monster himself.
Joe fostered both sides in him, IMHO. Joe was the Dr. Frankenstein and Michael was the monster. So who really was the monster?

After Michael Jackson died at every single interview and event including the funeral, he was trying to promote his new record label. Like no matter what he was asked he would answer and redirect the topic to his new record label or some BS.
Everything he ever said or did reinforced everything he was accused of.
Feel free to Google for the details

He made all of his children call him Joseph instead of Dad or Daddy. He viewed them as employees not as children.

Probably, but you don't get to that level of success and popularity by growing up in a loving home.

In Living Color once said he smacked the black off Michael.

He allegedly molested the older daughters. The mom covered for him.

Why wouldn’t they know? Half the event in the movie were in public and the other half were in front of his still alive wife and kids.

He was more the monster he was made out to be in "The Jacksons: An American Dream."
