La Toya Jackson 'Ex-husband threatened my life'

La Toya Jackson has charged that her ex-husband Jack Gordon threatened to kill her and other members of the Jackson family.
Gordon served as La Toya's manager for several years and eventually married the musician in 1989.
La Toya has claimed that their relationship was marred with physical and emotional abuse, disclosing to PopEater that she stayed with Gordon strictly to protect her siblings from the apparently volatile music manager.
"It was nearly ten years. I had no choice, no control. If I was to make a move or do anything, first of all I was surrounded by his people, and also he promised me that he would kill my brothers and then kill me," she claimed.
"He said, 'If you ever try to run away I'll come and find you and kill you and your brothers'. I believed it because I knew the way he operated."
La Toya insisted that it was Gordon who forced her to condemn brother Michael at a Tel Aviv press conference at the height of his child molestation investigation in 1993, even though she believed that the charges were false.
The star was able to separate from Gordon for good in the late 1990s, but only after her brother Randy intervened.
"The straw that broke the camel's back was when he wanted me to do porno with a couple of men," La Toya explained. "I said, 'I can't do this'. He said, 'Yes you are'. And he got in the shower and I picked up the phone and I was terrified he was going to catch me and I made a phone call to my mother and father and they told my brother Randy, 'You get over there and get her now', and he got on a plane and got me and I escaped'."
La Toya recently suggested that her late brother Michael was murdered.
