LaToya Jackson husband: The toxic marriage that cost her everything
In 1987, entertainment manager Jack Gordon was hired by Joe Jackson to co-manage LaToya. After some time, he fully became her manager.
Jack Gordon alienated LaToya from her family. Joe and Katherine believed that Gordon brainwashed their daughter and made her fearful of her own family.

Throughout their marriage, LaToya was subjected to domestic violence from Jack. As if this was not enough, in 1993, when Michael Jackson was accused of sexual abuse by the parents of 13-year old Jordan Chandler, Jack forced LaToya into holding a press conference and saying that she believed the allegations.
Later, she revealed that Jack threatened to kill Michael and Janet if she did not make the allegations.
Toya had had enough and finally decided to call it quits when she found out that Jack was planning to feature her in a pornographic film.

The divorce was finalised in 1997
