Katherine, 80, has filed for divorce after cruel Joe, who abused Jacko as a child, blamed his wife for the death of their son in an interview, Thaindian.com reports.

"After 60 years, she's had enough. She's been humiliated by him for too long. She's absolutely livid. This time there's no going back," a family friend said.

Until now Katherine has refused to consider divorce because "as a Jehovah's Witness, she believes that a marriage is for ever," said the source.Joe managed 'The Jackson 5', the band made up of his five sons Jackie, 59, Tito, 56, Jermaine, 55, Marlon, 53, and Michael in the 1960's and years later it emerged that he used to hit his sons if their rehearsals went badly, NDTV.com says.
