Joe Jackson Talks To The New York Daily
Michael Jackson is still laying low after his legal ordeal.
"He is working to get his health better," Jackson's dad, Joe, revealed to Daily News contributor Daphne Barack over lunch at the Four Seasons.
Some believe that billionaire pal Ron Burkle has provided the singer with sanctuary (though Burkle's rep says he hasn't). Papa Jackson will say only, "He isn't in Neverland right now."
As for speculation that Michael might leave America, Joe says, "He did have difficult moments during the trial and talked that way. But I don't think he is leaving Neverland anytime soon.
"Am I worried about his financial problems?" he asks. "Yes, I am! If he didn't trust the wrong people, he wouldn't have been in this situation."
Joe believes his son "will bounce back," but says, "I don't see Michael doing any TV anytime soon. He wants to spend time with his kids."
Joe denies talk that he and wife Katherine are plotting a reality show. "Katherine wants to take a vacation, and I am going soon to Germany for my birthday party."
