11. Janet Jackson
Catherine Jackson thought Janet was too much of a tomboy and actually tried to enroll her youngest daughter in etiquette classes.
“She refused to go to etiquette and charm school, she didn’t want that,” the pop star’s older sister LaToya recalled during an interview on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight. “We took her to this school and my mother was driving, Jan was in the back of the Mercedes, and the minute my mother got out the car to open the door – Jan locks the door, locks my mother out, props her foot against the door and holds it like, ‘You are not going to get me out of this car!’”
And Jackson has only partially outgrown her tomboy phase. In a 2006 interview with Hollywood Life, she described herself as “a chameleon. Part of me is sexy, part of me is very religious, part of me is a family girl, part of me is wild. I’m a tomboy in most things, but I’m girly sometimes, too. I like wearing men’s suits and I like wearing high heels that defy gravity!”
