It’s not unusual for La Toya Jackson to share little glimpses of her world online, but this week, fans are paying much closer attention.
Over the past few days, Michael Jackson’s sister has posted two short, cryptic videos revealing that she’s been back and forth to her doctor — though she’s kept quiet about exactly why.
Two Checkups in Three Days
In her first clip, shared last Friday, the 69-year-old singer appeared calm but a little weary, wearing a casual Ralph Lauren cap as she spoke to her followers.
“Hi guys, I hope everyone’s doing well,” she began warmly.
“I’m here at the doctor again, so I’m hoping everything goes well with me, all results are good, and I hope you guys have a great day.”
By Monday morning, she’d returned — this time in a white cap — with another quick update: “Guess where I am on this Monday morning? You guessed, that place again.
I’m constantly getting check-ups. Oh well. Have a great week, guys.”
Family and Friends Send Love
As always, La Toya’s family rallied behind her.
Her nephew Taryll, the son of her late brother Tito, commented “Love you!” while her niece Brandi — Jackie Jackson’s daughter — echoed the sentiment.
Support also poured in from celebrity friends, including The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Phaedra Parks and The Real alum Loni Love, both leaving strings of praying-hand emojis.
Reality star Claudia Jordan did the same. The outpouring was simple but full of warmth — the kind that follows La Toya wherever she goes.
Still Performing, Still Plant-Based
Despite her health concerns, La Toya hasn’t exactly disappeared from the spotlight.
Earlier this year, she performed her one-woman cabaret show, An Evening With La Toya Jackson, at the Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood — a night that reminded audiences of her three-octave mezzo-soprano range.
And while some fans have worried about her slender frame, La Toya insists she’s perfectly fine — attributing her figure to her strict plant-based, organic diet.
“I’m strictly organic,” she told the Daily Mail in June. “My diet is based on plants — cruciferous vegetables mostly. That’s what God put on this earth for us.”
For the uninitiated, that means a plate full of broccoli, kale, arugula, and cabbage — though she admits she occasionally sneaks in a bit of chicken.
Staying Selective About the Spotlight
At this stage in her life, La Toya seems to prefer keeping her distance from the chaos of fame.
She pops up here and there — notably as “The Empress” on the French version of Mask Singer earlier this year, performing a vibrant cover of Madonna’s Hung Up.
It wasn’t her first go at the show either — she’s previously taken part in the Australian, Spanish, and American editions of the hit Korean singing competition.
And she’s far from done. The Heart Don’t Lie singer is quietly working on her own luxury lifestyle brand, set to launch in the Middle East, which will include clothing and accessories.
A Look Back at a Complicated Journey
For those who grew up watching The Jacksons on CBS back in the late 1970s, La Toya’s career arc is a fascinating one.
From singing backup on her brother Michael’s classic P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) to joining the legendary We Are the World recording, she’s always been part of music history — even if she didn’t always seek the spotlight.
Her 1984 single Heart Don’t Lie reached No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100, and she’s released 11 albums in total.
She still averages about 11,000 monthly Spotify listeners — proof that loyal fans never really left.
But her personal journey hasn’t been without turbulence.
After years living at the family’s Encino estate, she moved out in her early thirties and fell under the control of her controversial manager, Jack Gordon — a relationship she later described as abusive and isolating.
It’s a part of her past she rarely revisits, but one that shaped her resilience.
Looking Ahead
Today, La Toya Jackson is proof that life after fame doesn’t have to mean fading away.
Whether she’s performing, designing, or simply checking in with fans from the doctor’s office, she’s still doing things her own way — with grace, curiosity, and a quiet kind of strength that runs deep in her family’s DNA.
