Despite the fact that he was carrying on a double life, Joh’Vonnie tells Daily Mail that Jackson was a supportive father. “Daddy would come zooming in through the gates in his two-seater Mercedes or Rolls Royce”, she recalled, “He’d be hungry and his dinner would be cooked. He would come around sometimes without warning, he has very much a presence in my life, I was a daddy’s girl.”
Joh’Vonnie added that her father would often bring her gifts, or take her and her mother out on the luxury boat that he kept at their house. “I would be so excited, he would bring me presents, my favorite black walnut ice cream. I was spoiled rotten”, she said. “He was very loving and nicknamed me Jobie and often called me sweet-potato or Sally-Mae.”
Despite the excitement, Joh’Vonnie said that there was friction between Jackson, a married man, and her mother Cheryl. “Mom wasn’t even sure she liked him, he wasn’t her type and he was married”, she explained. “It didn’t sit well with her parents at all, my father was the same age as my grandmother.”
