La Toya Jackson now wants family matters kept private

La Toya Jackson is now a conscientious objector refusing to take part in the Jackson media war, because she now believes all of the public feuding is damaging the family name, TMZ reports.

La Toya -- who's not exactly shy when it comes to publicity -- has been noticeably absent from the media blitz surrounding Michael Jackson's children and the Michael Jackson Estate. 

TMZ reports that La Toya feels very strongly that the most effective way to solve the family problems are not to attack each other in public, but rather hash things out quietly and respectfully in private. 

So whose side is she on? Sources say she's definitely not aligned with Janet, Randy, Jermaine and Rebbie and wasn't thrilled to see them camera-whoring all over TV this week. 

TMZ was told La Toya wants what's best for Michael's children and feels the quicker the family can stop making a public spectacle of themselves the better off the children will be.

La Toya has actually in more than one occasion publicy attacked the Estate making allegations about the genuinity of their intentions, even accusing them of killing Michael Jackson to enter into possess of his Estate. And the Estate in more than one occasion put her at her place confuting her allegations through written statements and their excellent job.
