The pair who wedded in 2012 confirmed their split back in April after they welcomed their son, Eissa together in January. They have been involved in a series of legal battle.

In a new interview with PEOPLE, Janet Jackson’s brother Randy Jackson opens up on the challenges that Janet’s marriage with Wissam faced before their split.

According to the former Jackson 5 star, his sister suffered verbal abuse and felt like a prisoner in her own home during her marriage to London-based Qatari businessman Wissam.

“There’s a lot of pain. Janet’s been through a lot with her divorce. I’ve been through a lot, we all have, it was quite an abusive situation. It came on later in the relationship, verbal abuse and being [made to feel like] a prisoner in her own home.

No pregnant woman needs to go through being called a bitch everyday. There were things like that. That’s what she went through. I told her, ‘You’ve got to move in with me or I’m going to go over there and there’s going to be hell.’

She was really pissed off. I told her, ‘I don’t care anymore. I’m tired of it. It’s too much. I have a lot of Muslim friends and they don’t act that way at all. It’s a personal issue that he needs help with and I’m going to pray for him too.”

Randy revealed that most of the abuse Janet went through were more than physical that he had to come to her aid a lot of times, although they both tried to keep it away from the family but now they are aware.

“She was really pissed off. I told her, ‘I don’t care anymore. I’m tired of it. It’s too much’.. But I’m not going to allow her to live in that abusive situation. She’s my baby sister.

The abuse is still going on. She has custody and he of course allowed her to bring the baby on tour, but it’s constant harassment. This tour almost didn’t happen, but by the grace of God we’re here and we’re very prayerful.
