So sick of the Jacksons & this lawsuit. So MJ was so sick and frial yet would have made 40 billion? Right. So sick and frial that his own family were begging him for YEARS (including Janet) to go on tour with them. If he happened to die but the tour he was signed to was The Jacksons instead of This Is It, who would they sue then? Michael Jackson just can't escape trials, dead or alive. I don't even want to read any of this mess, what's it gonna do?

Yes, I don't want to follow this either. I became a michael jackson fan for his music, not to follow fucking trials, I'm sick of this shit.

This is what I have been saying forever. Michael's family is pure SHIT. They don't give a damn about him or his memory. They only care about money. This same fucking family didn't think that Michael was too sick to tour with THEM. They badgered him day and night. Even tried to break through his gate to force him to tour with them. Yet these SOB's want to pretend that was an "intervention". Damn this family, I hope that they don't get shit from this lawsuit, because it has nothing to do with justice for Michael. They don't care if his name is dragged throught the mud. IF Michael had left these ass-holes money in his will, they would not be suing AEG. They don't care that Michael's MURDERER, Conrat Murray, is doing an interview. Katherine didnn't want restitution from her own son's MURDERER, yet she is suing a company that had nothing to do with Michael's murder. How can Jackson defenders defend this type of behavior? Again, this family is SHIT. ANyone with even a semblance of common sense can see what this family is all about. I hope people, other than MJ fans, will call these buzzards out on their TRUE intention for this lawsuit-$$$MONEY-not justice for Michael.

They won't let Michael rest in peace; not his family and not the media. That bitch Diane Demond is already licking her chops and talking out of her ass on CNN concerning this trial. I guess the money that Michael left Katherine in his will is not enought. She STILL wants him to support her GROWN ASS children and is hoping to get a windfall from this AEG lawsuit to take care of them for the rest of their lives. Of course, she is not and has never been worried about receiving money from her rich daughter, Janet, now married to a supposed "billionaire". It's always Michael who has to take care of this famly or they throw him to the wolves. His own beloved mother! SMDH!!!

The family is just seriously bad news. If they are involved, bad things happen. They can't even play the media game smart. Because they are stupidly in bed with CNN, CNN is going to take advantage it and malign the living shit out of MJ because they know the family isn't going to say anything. It's the same way with the UK tabloids.

I'm still at a lost as to how slandering MJ helps the family. All it does is make them along with AEG, look like bloodsuckers.

Same and I am just sick of the leeches aka Jackson family.

It is sad that the Jacksons are trashed because some MJ Fans can't handle the truth that Michael was a human being. He had human frailties like the rest of us.

It's sad that he isolated himself from his family. He should of had a close relationship with at least one of his brothers or sisters. Michael needed one of them to protect brother Michael from the King of Pop. MJ fans should stop blaming his family. He surrounded himself with users and yes people.

Conrad Murray was a dumb ass who turned his back on his medical ethics for a pay check to join the circus.

What's even sadder is that you and other Jackson Family defenders don't use common sense or rational thinking. No Michael fan is blaming this family for Michael's death. There is ONE person and ONE person only who is responsible for Michael's death and that is Conrat Murray, the MURDERER.

WE know that Michael was human and had frailities like the rest of us. However, that doesn't give his family the excuse to throw him under the bus now that he is no longer here. This doesn't give his family the excuse to ALLOW others to trash him and not say a damn thing. It doesn't give this family the excuse to allow the REAL MURDERER, Conrat Murray, a FREE PASS, by saying that he is a "fall guy" and not ask any restitution from him when he can write books, do interviews, and get money. This family, the Jacksons, are suing AEG for MONEY. They don't care about justice. Michael was their ATM machine and they are mad that he didn't leave the siblings any money. Therefore, his OWN mother doesn't give a damn if AEG, Conrat Murray, or anyone else throws her son under the bus, as long as SHE gets money.

This family badgered Michael NON-STOP for money, to do tours with them. Never once was this family concerned about is health. They tried EVERYTHING to force him to tour with them; includind trying to crash his gate, leaking negative things to media in an effort to basically "blackmail" into touring, getting Katherine to be the g0 between and everything else. Is it any wonder that he couldn't sleep with his OWN family pressuring him for money and other things to help them. And this was besides the NON-STOP negativity from the media. It's amazing that he didn't turn to hardcore drugs and become an addict. Instead, he only wanted to SLEEP and hired a doctor to help him sleep. This doctor, that he trusted, MURDERED him. No one is blaming his family for murdereing him. WE know who the murderer is, Conrat Murray. Michael's family has just thrown their son and brother under the bus, every chance they get for MONEY. That's what WE, the fans, are angry about.

So, let's not get it mixed up why we fans are angry at the Jacksons. Their actions since Michael was murdered is the worst that I have seen or heard of. There are no excuses for what they have done.

Thank you! This is exactly what I think of the Jacksons. The defenders of the Jackson family seem to ignore everything they say or do, remember actions speak louder than words. This happy family image they've been trying to show, doesn't work. I think LaToya was asked some week ago if she had met Janets new husband and she said, no I haven't and I didn't even know they had gotten married. They are false and manipulative. It's a shame they are doing all of this, but as a fan of Michaels music, I'm done with them because they don't care about MJ.

I just think the Jackson Family defenders biasedly have something against MJ and since the crap the Jacksons spur support there already biase against MJ they defend them.

If you really look at all what the Jacksons have done since MJs passing anybody with a good ounce of common sense would see they have done nothing but exploited him and his children for money. If they were not close with Michael how could they possibly speak on HIS behalf? Just bizarre.

I just don't get the anger towards the fans when these family defenders themselves do the most horrid job defending this family. The arguments are just terrible because anytime you come across their excuses and jusifying you always immediately think of the important fact that NO OTHER FAMILY WOULD EVER DO THE THINGS THE JACKSONS DO. So what are these defenders even talking about?

this trial is going to be a circus. the judge so far has denied the request to televise it, but cnn in particular has been gunning hard to change her mind - you know, first amendment and all. they don't mention the fact that they are in the ratings toilet and are DESPERATE to get viewers.

the jacksons should not want it televised. everyone is thinking about the salacious info that's going to come out about mj; what about his family? aeg is not only going to go after mj, they're going after that family with a vengeance for bringing this lawsuit. as usual, janet will not involve herself with this circus. just as when mj was alive, she's abandoned him and left him to deal with their trifling family while she's off living her life. it's funny how the family defenders chastise mj for keeping his family at arm's length, but janet get a pass. if la toya didn't even know her sister was married, that means she wasn't even invited to the wedding. i would be highly surprised if janet shows up to testify for "justice" for the family.

it's always brought up, but i'll bring it up again: priscilla presley. although she's had her moments e.g., the self-serving book she wrote about elvis, by and large, whenever she or lisa talk about elvis, they go out of their way to honor his memory. they don't shy away from the troubles he had, but they discuss them in the context of love and compassion, not degradation.

while janet was running her brother down to oprah, did she even stop to talk about how perhaps the burden of fame was overwhelming at times, the horror he must have felt at being accused, did she ever talk about how he took care of their mother and others and helped strangers? no, not a word about that.

i agree. the defenders don't like the fact that mj left his brothers. they see it in the context of mj "forgot where he came from". they agree with everyone word of "word to the baad".

Agree. The Presleys do have, however, one big advantage. Correct me if I am wrong cause I don't follow the Presleys that much, but there are only two heirs - Priscilla and Lisa. There aren't many people involved in fighting for the money.

Funny thing is that I have NEVER heard a non-MJ-fan (I assume you are not a fan cause I have never seen you here) ever say that it is sad how MJ is trashed.

Michael Jackson is dead, it doesn't get more human than that. It's not about being a fan not wanting to see their hero's image tainted...

Tito was on the front page of British tabloids not even two weeks after Michael died, selling his grief, talking of Michael's problems (Tito! Who expected that?). Then there's La Toya with endless Alice in Wonderland stories, telling us to 'read between the lines' of her book, yet... it says nothing. Then there's the fact that Michael's children, who even the hardcore fans of Michael had only 2 or 3 glimpses of in their decade of life before MJ died... being paraded around the world, being interviewed, signed to movies, etc. Michael's family have themselves to blame for the backlash they have recieved. They aren't together at all, they all have differing stories. I always thought they should have kept away from the media until Michael was buried in September... then perhaps did a Jackson family special, near Christmas or the next year TOGETHER... speaking of Michael. But they decided to appear on every show that would have them (Michael said his brothers can't say NO to an offer lol) to the point where Joe public thought 'Oh not again'.

I do feel that the grief is real, that's their brother... La Toya crying infront of Bubbles, and Jermaine looked absolutely devestated during multiple interviews. I do not doubt that, I don't think they are hollow money grabbers... but their actions... going after money all the time... just makes it hard to argue in their favour.

Plus Michael was never going to leave his estate to his family, he is on record saying his brothers aren't business savvy.

40 billion.

actually, elvis named lisa as his only heir, and i think he made his father the executor. priscilla stepped in to help b/c the father was overwhelmed, and the estate was in danger of losing everything. she has stated that she was fighting for her daughter's future. i'm sure she benefitted as a co-executor, though.

there should be no fighting over money here, either. mj's will is what it is. i'm surprised that the family is surprised that they're not beneficiaries. most people leave their money to children, not siblings. if they think the money lies with aeg, they're wrong. i would be highly, highly, highly surprised if they win this lawsuit.

Thanks for the info on the Presleys. Yeah. the Jacksons should know they are not entitled to his money, but hey, they have always felt this way. Hard to change that after his death.

I really hope it doesn't air on CNN or anywhere else for that matter, because MJs kids might show up and it's going to be crazy. This is not what MJ wanted for his children and I seriously wish the Jacksons could just stop with their fuckery but they wont.. I lost much respect for Janet, I used to always defend her but after reading so many things and just the way she's been acting these past 2 years, has made me dislike some of her actions (it has nothing to do with her artistry tho). The family is quite frankly disgusting, it's time for them to work if they want money. Just because they're part of the original group that made MJ famous, doesn't mean he has to feed them everyday. MJ worked hard for that money and he gave it to his children. She wasnt invited to the wedding and I doubt anyone else was. =/ The Jacksons are so strange and then they want to accuse MJ to be the strangest, when all that family is stranger.

Prince Could Be Called to Testify in MJ Wrongful Death Suit Exclusive Prince and Michael Jackson never worked together in their illustrious careers ... until now ... because TMZ has learned Katherine Jackson intends to call Prince as a witness in her wrongful death lawsuit against AEG. As TMZ first reported, MJ's mom and three kids are seeking $40 billion in damages from AEG or its alleged negligent hiring and supervision of Dr. Conrad Murray. According to docs filed earlier this month, Katherine's legal team plans to call nearly 100 witnesses ... with one of them being Prince. It's curious, since Prince and MJ never collaborated, but we're hearing Katherine's legal team believes Prince had a bad experience with AEG in the past that could be relevant. Can you imagine Prince on the witness stand? "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

I just think the Jackson Family defenders biasedly have something against MJ and since the crap the Jacksons spur support there already biase against MJ they defend them.

If you really look at all what the Jacksons have done since MJs passing anybody with a good ounce of common sense would see they have done nothing but exploited him and his children for money. If they were not close with Michael how could they possibly speak on HIS behalf? Just bizarre.

it's always brought up, but i'll bring it up again: priscilla presley. although she's had her moments e.g., the self-serving book she wrote about elvis, by and large, whenever she or lisa talk about elvis, they go out of their way to honor his memory. they don't shy away from the troubles he had, but they discuss them in the context of love and compassion, not degradation.

while janet was running her brother down to oprah, did she even stop to talk about how perhaps the burden of fame was overwhelming at times, the horror he must have felt at being accused, did she ever talk about how he took care of their mother and others and helped strangers? no, not a word about that.

i agree. the defenders don't like the fact that mj left his brothers. they see it in the context of mj "forgot where he came from". they agree with everyone word of "word to the baad".

Oh they'd better lol! Priscilla Presley better work her ass off to keep Elvis' legacy alive and say nothing but glorifying things about her dead ex (although like you said she did express her feelings and talk about things that's not exactly beneficial to his legacy over the years) since her last name has been her bread and butter for her ENTIRE life. Unlike the Jackson brothers who did have talent and worked hard to get their own career going for a while in the beginning, Pricilla was nothing but an average school girl before she met Elvis. I know she became a model actress whatever later but it was her relationship with the man that made it all possible so it's fair to say she owes Elvis everything she's got, therefore she's obligated to devote her entire life preserving Elvis' legacy. (she's got nothing else anyway) Yeah she's the mother of his one and only heiress but an ex wife doesn't really count as family and Elvis didn't leave a thing to Priscilla. She became the executor after Elvis's father passed away and fought to make sure Lisa got her inheritance, because that was the only way she could keep her connection to the man and his $$$.

Where as Jacksons, while I do not necessarily agree with certain things they've been doing for the past few years, their legacy as Jacksons and Jackson 5 is set in stone and they'll be remembered as one of the most successful groups of Motown. It's natural and understandable that they gravitate towards the good old days when Michael was part of the group because that was their peak. But it's not exactly their responsibility to spend the rest of their lives trying to preserve MJ's legacy. So I don't think it's fair to compare someone like Priscilla Presley to the Jacksons.

And oh Janet did talk about feeding homeless people with Mike in an interview, I was trying to remember why that sounded so familiar lol. As fans yes we can think of a million different ways to defend Michael and trust me I have my own "I wish the family members could've mentioned this and that about Michael"s, but I truly feel Janet was always there when Michael needed her.

Lol this is some bullshit! I doubt Prince actually has anything to say but more than that, even if he does, he simply won't say anything that could possibly jeopardize his professional relationship with AEG and his own career. I suppose as a witness he can simply describe what types of contracts and agreements he had when he did the o2 shows with AEG but just ugh.

the jacksons are smokin' crack if they believe prince is going anywhere near that witness stand. if he does, i'm gonna START smokin' crack. . .

At this point....

Nothing the Jacksons does surprises me....I am just prepared for fuckery regardless even if it seems impossible even for them.

So in other words you might have to start smokin crack

I dont want to bash Janet but I was just shocked by her bizarre behavior. Knowing how comments on MJ are easily misinterpreted why would she throw him under the bus instead of defending her brother?

Your right, Priscilla/Lisa would NEVER dare do what the Jacksons have done to Michael, NEVER

You have those that appreciate what they did, but they are also seen as huge jokes by an awful lot of people these days. And the ironic thing is, the media they mainly speak to (ex. UK tabloids, CNN) it's their audience that sees them as jokes. This is another thing that's bizarre about this family. They play up to those that hate them.

But anyway back to them not protecting MJ's image, fans bring up Priscilla Presley because she is the most in your face example that shows what the family continues to do is just stupid. Elvis has been dead over 35 years and she is still able to benefit greatly from her connection. While the Jackson family are stuck dealing with obvious vultures, who haven't been able to bring any success to them.

If they got out of the spotlight and lived their lives, then maybe fans could accept they just don't care about protecting MJ's image and legacy, but since the minute MJ died they have tried the capitalize off his passing, them throwing him under the bus just comes across as so fucked up and insanely stupid.

How can a family that's been around as long as them not know they need some sort of credibility to have success and make money? What can you really do if most folks are turned off by you?

Sharon said she'd testify for the Jacksons.
