I just checked the Vh1 site and they already have a clip from her all-access special.. In the clip she talks about how she was so afraid to go out in public after her divorce that she would order food and hire housekeepers for no other reason but to have human contact.. The years with Jack must have been real awful for her to retreat like that.. 
Anyways I might be a little tongue in cheek now and then, but I truly respect and admire LaToya. You probably wouldn't know it looking at her, but she must be a strong woman - "as tough as old nails", as Graham Norton put it.
I can't wait to see this!!...anyway, here's the video link:
LaToya discusses life after her previous husband
Here's the description from the VH1 site:
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Who is La Toya Jackson? People know her face and her famous name but no one knows the person behind the persona. Now VH1 will take viewers inside the unique life of La Toya as she sits down and answers the tough questions on everything from the charges against Michael to her own plastic surgery to her journey into darkness and despair.
FRENZY
VH1 gets exclusive behind-the-scenes access to La Toya Jackson. Our cameras will capture all the excitement and adrenaline of her life as she prepares for the release of her new album. This unfiltered access will allow viewers to get to know the real La Toya in a fun and spontaneous way.
LA TOYA ON MICHAEL
La Toya went from claiming her brother Michael as her best friend while growing up, to publicly supporting the allegations of sexual molestation made against him, to a recent reconciliation. During her 20's, La Toya made guest appearances in Michael's videos and projects such as "Say, Say, Say" and "We Are The World." Michael produced a couple of her albums, but the relationship went sour during La Toya's 10 year marriage to Jack Gordon. La Toya openly discusses how she's helping him cope with the latest controversies swirling around him and defending her brothers innocence.
ON HER OWN
Jack Gordon was her manger and later became her husband. She claims that her marriage was controlling and she will speak from the heart about her painful past and how she found the strength to escape the downward spiral and truly become her own woman.
THE NEW CD
La Toya poured her new found freedom and energy int1o music. The result: her new album "Starting Over." The CD is a very personal and very funky release that marks her return to music in a big big way. Though this is her latest musical effort, La Toya's been singing for decades. She made her debut as a background vocalist in 1971. She's recorded ten albums including a country effort she produced in Nashville. Undaunted by the comparisons to her famous siblings, La Toya signed a new record deal in 2000 with JaTail Records and began work on "Starting Over."
SHOPPING
Believe it or not, but La Toya has never visited a mall to go shopping. Follow VH1 on a wild ride to the mall where she gets down to business, trying on the latest shades and make-up, but only after she gets stopped by the police on her way there.
PIERCING
At the age of 48, La Toya is in charge and finally feels secure and free to do what she wants, and that includes getting her belly button pierced. VH1 is right there as she gets intimate with the needle!
THE NEW LOOK
La Toya Jackson seems to get hotter every year. Her body is smokin' and her fashion sense is totally cutting edge. VH1 will reveal the secrets of La Toya's amazing new look. She will dish her tips and secrets on fashion, diet and exercise. You won't believe how she stays so energetic and youthful! She even opens up about her plastic surgery.
THE KENTUCKY DERBY
La Toya is on her own lucky streak when it comes to betting on the horses at the Kentucky Derby, only with VH1 will she share her system guaranteed to pay off.
THE CD LAUNCH
VH1 traveled to Hawaii to follow La Toya on her promotional tour of the islands as she meets and greets her fans and we follow her as she goes to clubs to play the new CD.
