Larry King spoke live with Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Jackie Jackson about their late brother's new film, This Is It, at the film's Tuesday night Los Angeles premiere, and asked them about the family's internal turmoil over the film's release.
LaToya Jackson has said many Jackson family members are boycotting the film because Michael wouldn't have wanted his rehearsal footage released publicly. Michael's oldest sister, Rebbie, has already publicly distanced herself from business endeavors, such as a planned reality show for his kids, that have arisen in the wake of the singer's death this summer.
