Okay, we all know that everyone deals with grief differently, but what the hell is wrong with Joe Jackson?! This self-centered old battle axe was on CNN promoting the launch of his new record label, Ranch Records, just three days after his long-suffering son tragically passed away.

Did we miss something here?

The Jackson Family patriarch, hit the red carpet at the 9th Annual BET Awards, where he spoke — briefly — about the death of his son, Michael, who passed away on Thursday.

“I wish the world had recognized [Michael] when he was living. … I wish he was here to see all this,” Joe said.

“I have concerns. … I don’t like what happened,” Joe said of the investigation into Michael’s death.

When asked if it was a hard decision to come to the awards show, Joe simply told reporters that he is < em>“a tough guy.”

(That’s one way of putting it.)

“The family is fine,” he added.
