Jackson Upset Over Oscar Voting Story
Horrified Jackson, a member of the Academy, insists he has been misquoted, stating, "I've had so much trouble because this irresponsible reporter said that I let the maid vote and the nanny. I don't even have a nanny.
"I actually do my own voting and I do solicit (actress wife) Latanya's opinion, but it's my 'x' that's on that ballot."
The actor can't wait to meet up with the reporter who wrote the article about him--because he plans to give him a good talking to. He adds, "I've even been reprimanded by the Academy about what that reporter said... I got smacked on the wrist."
