Michael Jackson's father was in Sao Paulo two weeks ago for a $200,000-birthday trip, which included a blowout party, dancers, and reportedly, lots of viagra.
Joe Jackson, who has been married to Katherine Scruse for 61 years, was seen dining with a group of younger women at an upscale restaurant only a few hours after his arrival into the city. His turn up continued for a few days, as he was seen two days later with some of the same women partying into the early hours of the next morning.
It was evidently too much for the 87-year-old to handle, however, as he reportedly began 'feeling unwell' the day after his festivities on July 26, leading to a trip to the hospital.
It was there that Joe Jackson had three cardiac arrests in total, one of which his heart stopped for an entire 10 seconds.
The story behind the cardiac arrests has been conflicting, however. According to his representative and personal assistance, Joe Jackson sleeps early and does not take any medication without a doctor's prescription. According to their version of the events, Jackson had a headache, took some medicine and it slowly went away: "But afterwards he wasn't feeling well. It was then that we decided he needed medical exams. He had to be rushed to hospital," said his rep Charles Coupet.
According to local journalists, including one well-known celebrity columnist, Jackson didn't have as innocent of a night as his staff want us to believe. A local newspaper reported that Jackson had a wild night out on his second night with his younger lady friends, visiting a string of bars and restaurants together. The story claims that Jackson mixed several drinks with a caipirinha, which is made with Brazilian sugarcane rum. To top it off, the father of eleven also took 'three little blue pills' for his erectile dysfunction later that night.
Despite conflicting stories about the events that led Jackson to the hospital, the reports of how it ended were the same: Jackson was released earlier this week from the Albert Einstein Hospital, where Janet and Jermaine were spotted, and is continuing his recovery.
Jackson was also sure to emphasize that his birthday party bash, which he missed, should go on without him while he was in his hospital bed.
