WTF! JOE JACKSON BLAMES HIS WIFE KATHERINE FOR MICHAEL JACKSON'S DEATH! HE HAD MIKE F**KED UP IN THE HEAD WITH ALL THE ABUSE! HE SHOULD BLAME HIMSELF!

Michael Jackson's father is blaming his wife for the King of Pop's death.

In a video interview with London's News of the World, Joe claims his wife could have saved her son's life if she had mothered him more.

Prior to MJ's death, his dad told Katherine that their son was "looking kinda funny and frail," but says his wife refused to approach her son about his deterioration.

"She didn't want to do that because she was afraid she was invading his privacy," he claims.

When Jackson died last June, Joe apparently took it out on his wife.

"I said this would have never happened if you had went and been with him," the 80-year-old told the British tabloid.

Katherine's lawyers immediately hit back at Joe, denying their client was anything but the picture perfect mother.

"The world knows that Mrs. Jackson has always been a loving mother and grandmother, and that she and Michael had a very special relationship," her lawyer, Adam Streisand, told TMZ.com. "The world also knows who Joe Jackson is and he seems bent on never letting us forget."

Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for Jackson's estate, backed up Streisand's claim.

"The inference by Joe Jackson that Mrs. Jackson was in any way responsible for Michael's death is preposterous," he told TMZ.com. "Katherine Jackson was a supportive and loving mother throughout Michael's life. His love and respect for her is reflected in his estate plan."

Jackson died on June 25 after receiving a lethal dose of propofol. His father, with whom he had a rocky relationship throughout his life, was left out of his will.

Joe and Katherine Jackson are not officially divorced but have lived apart for years.
