However, she admitted that she and the 15-time Grammy Award winner had a complicated relationship.

In the Janet Jackson documentary series that aired on A&E and Lifetime earlier this year, the star revealed that she and Michael were very close as children, but began to separate in the following years.

The youngest of ten siblings, Hitmaker All For You said that he, Michael and his brother, Randy Jackson, shared a special bond growing up.

“We were close, Randy, me and Mike—we were like three friends—three front men,” Janet said.

Despite close childhood relationships, the Poetic Justice actor said he felt a pang when Michael laughed at his weight.

There were times when Mike made fun of me and insulted me. “Pig, horse, slaughter pig, cow,” said Janet.

“He would laugh at that and I would laugh too, but then there was something in him that would hurt,” she admitted, “and if someone said you were overweight, it would hit you.”

Janet traced her weight problems back to childhood stardom when she starred in the iconic sitcom Good Times in the 1970s.

“I’m an emotion eater, so when I’m stressed or something really bothers me, it relaxes me,” she said. “I did Good Times, and that’s the beginning of weight problems and my perspective on myself.”

While the Jackson sisters are like kids, Janet said she and Michael “started going their separate ways” during her lightning-quick triumph as solo artists.

Thriller was released in November 1982, when Michael was 24 and Janet was 16, and became the best-selling album of all time.

“I remember really loving the Thriller album, but then for the first time I felt a difference, a change,” he said.

“She would always come to my room and talk, and this time she came into my bedroom. Neither of us said a word to each other, then she got up and left.’

‘The old days are long gone’: By the ’90s, they were collaborating on a song called Scream, but were often kept apart while filming the music video.

Janet said: “This was the moment Mike and I parted ways. It wasn’t as fun as it used to be.

By the ’90s, they were working together on a song called Scream, but they were often kept apart while filming the music video.

‘Michael shot the night, I shot the day. The record company blocked his set, so I couldn’t see what was going on. “They didn’t want me on the set,” he said.

“This really upset me because I felt like I was there to fight him, not fight him. I wanted him and me to be what they used to be, and it just didn’t happen. The old days were long gone,” said Janet.

Final Conversation: However, Janet shared that they had a touching final conversation with her brother the last time she saw him before she died. Seen in 1993

The singer also regretted the “frustrating” career blows she suffered while she was with Michael when he was accused of child abuse in the 1990s.

“We have separate lives, and although he is my sister, he has nothing to do with me,” insisted Janet. “But I wanted to be there for him, to support him as much as possible.”

Coca-Cola withdrew its deal with Janet, a move now called “Guilty by Association”.

Although Michael was acquitted in 2005, the allegations persist in the public domain, even in the 2019 Leaving Neverland documentaries.

However, Janet shared that they had a touching final conversation with her brother the last time she saw him before she died. He remembered that moment when they were both attending a surprise party for their parents, Joe and Katharine.

‘He was sitting next to me and he was laughing like crazy and he had that deep laugh and I remember him looking at me… and the last thing we said to each other was ‘I love you’ and that’s the last time I’ve seen it.’
