Janet Jackson may prefer to keep her private life out of the news, but for her brother, Randy Jackson, that became too big an ask once divorce proceedings took a turn.
In an interview with People, Randy revealed that Janet’s home life with Wissam Al Mana was far from a loving one. “It was quite an abusive situation,” he told the outlet. Randy expanded that the verbal abuse didn’t halt once she got pregnant, and that she was “being called a b***h every day.” On top of that, Randy also revealed that his younger sister had begun to feel “like a prisoner in her own home.” Randy chalked up his choice to vocalize what had gone on to wanting to end the silence. “Sometimes transparency helps you. The devil thrives in darkness,” he said.

As for his involvement in Janet’s marriage (and the end of it), in the same interview, Randy revealed that at one point, things between Janet and Al Mana had become so bad that he felt compelled to step in. That included a move to London, where the then-couple lived. Randy added that he even encouraged Janet to move in with him to get away from the toxic dynamic in her own home. It’s not clear if she took him up on that, at first. However, it’s alleged that he planned the logistics for her to move out, and even got their mother and sister Rebbie Jackson involved.
