Yasmine Jackson

In what she describes as a racially charged attack, the granddaughter of Joe Jackson, patriarch of The Jackson family, says she was stabbed multiple times by a white woman, according to The New York Post.

Yasmine Jackson, who is the 25-year-old daughter of Joe’s lovechild Joh’Vonnie, had posted some of the graphic images of her horrific injuries after she was attacked near her Las Vegas home earlier this week.

Jackson, who works as a nurse in Las Vegas, took to Instagram to discuss the violent incident where she describes being called the n-word and having her cries for help go unanswered before several people intervened.

I was stabbed 7 times right by my house because “I’m a nigger”. This woman chased me down and started stabbing me. She said it’s because I was a nigger and that’s all I could hear while I was being stabbed. I can’t move my neck at all. I’m scared to be alone. I asked people to help me because she was stabbing me and nobody helped. Until someone did, actually a few people did & I am thankful for you. I pray to God that if you have any kind of hatred in your heart towards black people that you heal it. I didn’t deserve this, nobody does. Oh & btw I’m still fucking proud to be black. @shaunking , please help me. They only are charging her with a felony battery with a deadly weapon. I feel like she deserves attempted murder and also this is a HATE CRIME. SHE CALLED ME A NIGGER & THERE ARE WITNESSES ?? SHARE SHARE SHARE SHARE PLEASE!!!!!!! Update: THEY BOOKED HER FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER, BATTERY WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, AND A HATE CRIME. PRELIMINARY HEARING WILL BE THIS MONTH.

Her mother posted graphic photos of the injuries Yasmine suffered.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has declined to reveal the police report since it pertains to an open criminal investigation, but Jackson later posted that the charges had been upgraded to attempted murder.

Jackson has set up a Go Fund Me page where the donations have surpassed her stated goal of $15,000. The current amount donated is $19,427.

Joe Jackson, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2018, is the father of musical icons The Jackson 5 later known as The Jacksons. The musical group included brothers Tito, Randy, Marlon, Jackie, Jermaine, and Michael Jackson. The family also produced singers Rebbie, LaToya, and Janet Jackson.
