Joe Jackson’s 25-year-old granddaughter, Yasmine Jackson, says she was stabbed seven times in a racist attack.
via Page Six:
Yasmine — who is the daughter of Joh’Vonie Jackson, Joe’s daughter with Cheryl Terrell — posted gruesome injury photos and details to Instagram after the alleged attack in Las Vegas.
“This woman chased me down and started stabbing me. She said it’s because I was a n—-r 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,” Yasmine captioned the brutal images of her face and neck on Sunday.
Yasmine, who works as a nurse and lives in Las Vegas, claimed that at first nobody would come to her aid.
“I asked people to help me because she was stabbing me and nobody helped,” she wrote. “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.”
Yasmine wrote that she’s “still f–king proud to be black” and asked civil rights activist Shaun King for help because authorities were only charging the alleged attacker with “felony battery with a deadly weapon.”
“I feel like she deserves attempted murder and also this is a HATE CRIME,” she continued. “SHE CALLED ME A N—-R & THERE ARE WITNESSES.”
Yasmine later updated her post to reflect that the charges had been upgraded to attempted murder.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department declined to share the police report with Page Six because it pertains to an open criminal investigation.
Joh’Vonie also shared gruesome photos of her daughter’s alleged attack and blasted those with “hate in their heart.”
“Look what this Woman did to my daughter @yasminejackson_ she tried to kill my daughter for being Black,” Joh’Vonie wrote. “My daughter has a good heart and has dedicated her time as a nurse to help others. She did not deserve this!”
