La Toya Jackson will open up about her late brother Michael, his alleged murder, and the King of Pop’s relationship with the three children he left behind in an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters next month.

La Toya’s interview with Barbara airs on Friday, Sept. 11 on 20/20. La Toya will also fill-in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck as a co-host on the Walters-produced daytime talk show The View on September 16 and 18.
