Sued Again! Jacko Can't Win
Filed under: Legal Matters > Michael Jackson



With Jacko's highly-publicized payday from his sold out residency in London, all sorts of relics from Michael's past are coming out of the woodwork!

And they're collecting!

Former Playboy Playmate Ola Ray, who starred beside Jackson in his legendary Thriller video in 1983, is suing Jacko for breech of contract!!

Ray claims she was never paid royalties for her role in the vid!

But why did the playmate wait 26 years to make the claim?????

Girl would have been better off suin' the pants off Michael back in the Dangerous days!

She already sued him and it got dismissed

unique said:

You only post the Garbage.

In this video MJ calls each of his brother's names and then says in Japanese: "You M***** are NOT touring with me."

LMAO - nice one.

I really like this pic from the (now locked) "Latoya could have been as big as Janet!" thread.

It's nice to see a fairly current pic of Janet and LaToya hanging out together. It would've been an even nicer pic without Jermaine in it.

thats jermaine? haha i thought it was gary coleman lol

bboy87 said:

And these are.....

godyssey said:

I'm guessing the dude in the white is Latoya's boyfriend and btw this isn't recent.

midiscover said:

books?

bboy87 said:

Whose books?

So...does anyone know what happend to his "new album?"--I take it he wansn't happy with it and therefore it was shelved?

midiscover said:

I think these were part of the recent auction of MJ stuff; the stuff was exhibited, but ultimately the auction was called off. so presumably the books are from his library.

Purplewhat said:

Good question!

Seems like we've been hearing for YEARS about a new album and we're still waiting!!

midiscover said:

those are his. He had TONS of books. Alot of it comprised of books on entertainment, black history, and art

Purplewhat said:

He's apparently completing it or putting the finishing touches on it

midiscover said:

Ooh, Rebie was there too! Great pics!

Looks like Ola Ray isnt the only one suing Mike this week...

Michael Jackson Sued by Former Rep

Posted May 6th 2009 4:04PM by TMZ Staff

The woman who used to speak for Michael Jackson when he got sued ...is now suing him -- joining the long line of people who claim they were stiffed by the King of Pop.

In a statement, Raymone Bain explains, "Mr. Jackson has elected not to honor the financial obligations of our contractual relationship, despite my numerous attempts to amicably resolve this matter. I am sincerely disappointed in Mr. Jackson's failure to honor his obligations."

Bain repped Jackson for many years -- shouldn't she know this is how he rolls?

Calls to Jacko's new people have not been returned.

Story developing ...

She'll have to get in line behind Ola, John Landis and whomever else is suing him at the moment.

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Jackson Sued By Longtime Rep

Posted on May 06, 2009 @ 14:58



Michael Jackson’s legal woes continue to mount. Now the King Of Pop’s longtime spokesperson Raymone Bain is suing him. Raymone just filed a lawsuit in Washington D.C. saying she wants Michael to pay up. In a statement Raymone tells RadarOnline.com:

“It is with deep regret that I find myself at this place, having to file a lawsuit against my longtime employer, and someone whom I have greatly admired and respected, Michael Jackson.

“Mr. Jackson and I have had a long, productive and mutually beneficial business relationship.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Jackson has elected not to honor the financial obligations of our contractual relationship, despite my numerous attempts to amicably resolve this matter. I am sincerely disappointed in Mr. Jackson’s failure to honor his obligations.

“This lawsuit will result in some discussion about the relationship between Mr. Jackson and me. Hypothetical theories, accusations and rumors, if gauging from the past, will be many. However, all of these will be replaced in court with the truth.

In 2005, Bain was fired by Michael’s brother Randy just days before the singer’s acquittal on child molestation charges. But, in 2006 she was made General Manager of the Michael Jackson Company.

Here is a transcript of her video statement:

Washington, DC (May 5, 2009) …… “It is with deep regret that I find myself in this place, having to file a lawsuit against my longtime employer, and someone whom I have greatly admired and respected, Michael Jackson.

“Over the years, as Mr. Jackson’s Spokesperson and General Manager, sometimes during periods of critical and adverse circumstances, I have been his voice to media, fans, supporters, business interests and associates as well as those who dislike, misunderstand and constantly malign him. I have also been the constant defender against those who have, in the past,
attacked him in any fashion or form. Regardless of who you are, I believe you are entitled to a brief explanation about why I felt compelled, at this time, to take the action I have taken.

“Mr. Jackson and I have had a long, productive and mutually beneficial business relationship.

“We have experienced quite a lot together, from the child molestation trial in Santa Maria, to transitions from the United States to Bahrain, Bahrain to Ireland, Ireland back to the United States…and, all in between. At almost every step of the way, we have had constant detractors and naysayers. Throughout this relationship, I did not look at him as just a client, but a family
member, a fact that I, and others who were a part of the Jackson team, always considered, when making numerous personal sacrifices, and when making any decisions which would affect him and his children. For this reason, many of you will not understand my actions.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Jackson has elected not to honor the financial obligations of our contractual relationship, despite my numerous attempts to amicably resolve this matter. I have done everything possible to avoid this unhappiness and distraction…I have been left no choice.

“This lawsuit will result in some discussion about the relationship between Mr. Jackson and me. Hypothetical theories, accusations and rumors, if gauging from the past, will be many. However, all of these will be replaced in court with the truth.

“On a personal note, I would like to thank all of the individuals who have given so much of their time, assistance and effort, to help me throughout the Jackson years. To the Jackson fans who have written letters to me, thank you, and I wish you all the best.

“Despite the action I have been compelled to take for professional and business reasons, when looking back, I have no regrets. Michael Jackson, in my opinion, is the ‘King of Pop,’ and I wish him, and his family, only the very best.”
