Everyday I am either doing interviews fighting for my uncle’s innocence, or working on this project and how to best and most effectively get it done with the greatest impact.
I heard some people publically doubt that this project will ever be finished. And although I really do understand their frustrations, I don’t think anybody understands the strength of my love for my uncle and the incredible bond we had. This is a promise I made to him over 25 years ago and I still remember it as if it were yesterday. I promised to always stand up for him and his legacy. Even when others wouldn’t.
I won’t stop until this project is done and something he would be proud of me for.
Now more than ever I am excited and optimistic because “a change is gonna come “(to quote the late great Sam Cooke) and I can see it happening already.
I got this , we got this!
L.O.V.E.

July 30 : Taj Jackson : “The past 2 years I have purposely not shared some things with you guys because I didn’t want my personal problems to interfere or question your confidence in me and this project.

First, I have never lied about this project being one of the most important projects in my life. Nor have I ever lied about my love and dedication to it and my uncle. However, there are some personal stuff behind the scenes that I have had to deal with and it has definitely affected both my mental and physical health. I am doing much better now but I want to finally share 2 examples.

Ok, where do I start…
Last year my wife and I came face to face with the horrors of a miscarriage. I didn’t reveal it back then because we had no idea how to handle this loss. The effects were absolutely devastating for us.
That day, we went to my wife’s OB/GYN(doctor) to finally find out the gender of our new baby. It was suppose to be an exciting day. Instead we found out that our little precious baby no longer had a heartbeat. Nothing prepared us for that shock. I hid this pain well from you guys and the public. I still did many interviews regarding my uncle and livestreams after that painful day. You would have never known what happened.

Which brings me to my next situation…
Well two months ago I went to my doctor for the first time in nearly a decade. I knew I hadn’t been taking good care of myself and the results clearly showed.
Not only was my blood pressure and blood sugar super high, I also had some other health complications. Not to mention I was already 60 pounds overweight. Luckily everything was still fixable and not permanent. But I had a pretty decent health scare for awhile. So if I wasn’t as active on social media as I had been in the past, or didn’t answer or respond to your messages or comments, now you know why. I really had to focus on getting better and healthier…For my family, for the project, and for me.

Why am I telling all this.
Because it felt weird and hypocritical to be working on a series that humanizes my uncle by showing all the external crap and struggles he had to deal with, while at the same time I am hiding my own personal struggles and crap from you guys. I am also telling you this because I want you to fully understand that through out all this drama, my commitment to this project has never faltered. I have been constantly working and pushing things forward since I first put this Go Fund Me page up. Even with my hardships these years, I have always made time to fight for and defend my uncle’s legacy. And I will never stop that fight until everyone learns and knows the truth.

Am I frustrated about the speed at which this series is moving, of course I am. But I could have never predicted that a world wide pandemic would slow down things everywhere and last this long. So unfortunately we have to be patient.

That being said…There is no doubt in my mind that this series will be finished and distributed globally . I’m ready to hit the ground running once it’s safe to do so. I want to thank everyone for their continued support. Whether monetary support or emotional support, I am so thankful for my uncle’s defenders and advocates. This series will be executed in a way that will forever vindicate my uncle Michael once and for all. It will cement his legacy as not only the greatest entertainer that ever lived, but one of the greatest and kindest human beings to ever walk this planet. My uncle, Michael Jackson, deserves that.

Yes this series is a huge undertaking, but as I said before, your support makes this possible. I truly thank you guys for believing in this project and me. We are going to make a difference for many generations to come.

Shamone!
Taj”

The time in her bedroom resulted in 11 songs on the concept album, “Wilted,” released by Republic Records, and out on Nov. 13.

December 15 : MJ Estate wins appeal against HBO

December 21 : Prince donates toys to 25 children from nine families at Mattel, an El Segundo, Los Angeles store for kids. He teamed up with his Heal LA Foundation and the LA Police Baseball Foundation to bring the youngsters to Mattel’s headquarters, where each child was gifted $150 to spend on a holiday shopping spree — just in time for the joyous day, he wrote on his Instagram.

December 24 : Michael Jackson’s onetime Neverland ranch has sold for $22 million to billionaire Ron Burkle, a onetime associate of the late pop star and co-founder of the investment firm Yucaipa Companies, according to public records and three people familiar with the deal.

The property, located about 40 miles from Santa Barbara, had been on and off the market for years, first listing for $100 million in 2015 and undergoing several price cuts. It was listed for $31 million last year, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Mr. Jackson’s estate co-owned the ranch with a fund managed by Colony Capital, a real-estate investment trust. Amid financial struggles, Mr. Jackson had defaulted on a loan backed by the ranch and Colony bought the note in 2008, putting the property’s title into a joint venture it formed with the pop star. Mr. Jackson originally paid about $19.5 million for the ranch in 1987.

January 10 : Statement from the Estate of Michael Jackson

Earlier today certain media ran an item relating to a film included in the lineup of the Sundance Film Festival. The Estate issued the following statement to media reporting the story:

“This is yet another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson. Wade Robson and James Safechuck have both testified under oath that Michael never did anything inappropriate toward them. Safechuck and Robson, the latter a self-proclaimed ‘master of deception’, filed lawsuits against Michael’s Estate, asking for millions of dollars. Both lawsuits were dismissed. This so-called ‘documentary’ is just another rehash of dated and discredited allegations. It’s baffling why any credible filmmaker would involve himself with this project.”

Unfortunately, anyone can release a documentary and they do not have to secure permission to do so. The only time the Estate has any potential recourse is when a documentary or other film uses intellectual property such as music or video that is owned by the Estate and is not protected under “fair use” claims, which of course the Estate is monitoring. You may recall the Estate filed litigation against Disney earlier this year for violating its intellectual property rights. As the Estate said, the individuals featured in this documentary have had their claims rejected in court. Furthermore, Michael was declared innocent in the criminal case against him. No documentary can change that.

January 16 : After a one month break from social medias and public exposure Paris writes on Instagram : « I am happy and healthy and feeling better than ever ».

January 21 : Taj Jackson launches a Go Fund Me Page to fight against “Leaving Neverland :

“MJ fam – here we are over 11 years since of my Uncle Michael’s passing. Instead of being able to mourn and properly celebrate and honor Michael Jackson, we are, again, being forced to educate the media and the general public with the evidence-based truth about him.
Once again, we have to defend Michael Jackson’s name and legacy from vicious and calculated lies. We can no longer sit back and wait for the ‘right thing’ to be reported or for someone else to step in and champion our cause. This is on us – fans, friends and family. I know that the unanimous acquittals and the FBI’s on and off 10-year investigation (resulting in my Uncle’s complete exoneration) should have been enough. The worst thing we can do is let this continued slander go unchallenged. Especially since my uncle is not here to defend himself.
I know that when we as a group are united, we are unstoppable.
So I am asking for your help.

This series will uncover the real Michael Jackson. The larger-than-life entertainer grew up in ways no other human could ever imagine. The viewer will have the opportunity to step inside Jackson’s world through the stories and recollections of the people that truly knew him best. Michael was human like the rest of us; flawed and imperfect. He was eccentric, uber talented, philanthropic, sensitive and traumatized. All of these things made Michael who he was. He was not weird, he was unique. He was a man who believed in the message of love, in a world that didn’t appreciate or understand him.

I am the oldest nephew of Michael Jackson. I had the privilege to have grown up extremely close to my uncle and was always a loyal friend and ally to him throughout his entire life. I also had a front seat to what the negative media and allegations put him through. I lived with him during the whole 2005 trial.

As a sexual abuse victim (from my uncle Chuck on my mom’s side of the family), I know what it means to be a survivor. I also know what kind of damage sexual misconduct leaves upon the victims. This unique position makes me even more determined and qualified to make the truth, the whole truth known about my uncle Michael’s false allegations.

My uncle’s last words to me were…
“After this, we’re doing films.”
Never did I think that a decade later necessity would require me to direct a film about his proven innocence.”

The documentary was screened at Park City, Utah’s Egyptian Theater. The Estate issued its statement about 12 hours after the film debuted, taking issue with what it calls “the kind of tabloid character assassination Michael Jackson endured in life, and now in death.”

Dan Reed’s film follows two accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, as they describe intense and graphic acts they say Jackson committed against them, as well those they say the pop icon coached them to commit on him. Robson met Jackson through a dance competition at age 5, and alleges the sexual abuse began when he was 7. Safechuck was cast in a Pepsi commercial starring Jackson around age 8, and the alleged abuse began after months of close friendship.

Lawsuit filed by the Estate of Michael Jackson

This morning, The Estate of Michael Jackson filed a lawsuit against HBO. HBO is not just a distributor but a co-producer of this so-called documentary Leaving Neverland. As many of you know, in 1992 HBO entered into an agreement for the broadcast of “Live From Bucharest” which became HBO’s highest rated special. As part of that agreement, HBO agreed to non-disparagement provisions which remain in effect. This program is the epitome of disparagement. Therefore, HBO stands in breach of contract. Even though Michael is not here to defend himself and there is no claim for defamation, this is a contractual obligation.

February 24 : Paris attends the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts  in Beverly Hills, California.

March : The MJ Estate lawyers contact Frank Cascio and his family to ask them for support. Despite having a decades-long friendship with Michael Jackson, and after years of passionately defending Michael against false and scurrilous allegations made by third parties, Frank and his family decide to exploit the negative publicity following the release of Leaving Neverland in order to try to profit from making their own specious allegations against Michael. To do so,
Frank’ representative insist on meeting with MJ Estate representatives at the Sunset Marquis Hotel swimming pool wearing only bathing suits so that MJ Estate representatives could not wear a “wire” to record the conversation.

Following this bizarre meeting, Frank’s lawyer informs MJ Estate lawyers that the Cascios intend to repudiate their prior support of Michael and manufacture false and specious allegations against him unless they were paid money, as well as to counter the negative press surrounding the film, MJ Estate sought to make a life rights and consulting deal to acquire content that the Respondents and other parties to the Agreement had accumulated during their decades-long close friendship with Michael, including home movies showing Michael’s warm and happy interactions over the years with his “second family” during
Christmas, holidays, and other occasions. However, Respondents used the negative media frenzy as an opportunity to enrich themselves.

January 22 : Katherine, Rebbie & Randy fly to London to visit Janet and her newborn son.

January 24 : Paris graces the cover of the February issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. “Paris Jackson: Life After Neverland. In her first-ever in-depth interview, Michael Jackson’s daughter discusses her father’s pain and finding peace after addiction and heartache” : Now sober and happier than ever, with menthol cigarettes as her only remaining vice, Paris left her grandmother Katherine’s home shortly after her 18th birthday and moved into the former Jackson family estate. She spends nearly every moment with her boyfriend, Michael Snoddy, a 26-year-old drummer from the band Street Drum Corps. Originally from Virginia, his dyed mohawk, tattoos, and sagging pants don’t diminish his boy-band charm or his kindness (…).

Currently, Paris lives in the private studio where her father recorded the demo for Beat It. The main Tudor-style house on the Jackson family estate remains empty. Located in Encino, Los Angeles, it was purchased by Joe Jackson in 1971 with the Jackson 5’s first royalties from Motown. Rebuilt by Michael in the 1980s, it is currently undergoing renovation. However, the studio, constructed by Michael in a brick building in the courtyard, is roughly the size of a decent Manhattan apartment, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom. Paris has turned it into a cozy, inviting space. Traces of her father are everywhere, most notably in commissioned artworks. Outside the studio, there is an image in a Disney-style frame of a cartoon castle on a hill, with a caricature of Michael in the foreground and a small blond boy hugging him. It is titled Of Children, Castles & Kings. Inside the studio, a mural covers an entire wall, featuring sketches of Michael in the corner, holding a green book titled The Secret of Life and gazing out of a window at blooming flowers—each flower’s center is adorned with the face of a rosy-cheeked little girl. Paris’s personal decor is quite different. There’s a photo of Kurt Cobain in the bathroom, a Smashing Pumpkins poster on the wall, a laptop adorned with stickers of Against Me! and Never Ending Story, psychedelic wall decals, numerous fake candles, and vinyl records (Alice Cooper, The Rolling Stones) used as wall art. In the kitchen, sitting on a counter, is a framed platinum record signed by Quincy Jones for Michael Jackson (“I found it in the attic,” Paris says with a shrug).

Above an adjacent garage is a mini-museum Michael created as a surprise gift for his family, with walls and even ceilings covered in photos of their history. Michael used to rehearse his dance moves in this room. Now, Paris’s boyfriend has set up his drum kit there.”

February 07 : John Branca Takes the Stand in Michael Jackson Tax Trial

February 08 : Katherine & Rebbie are spotted in London while visiting Janet and her baby boy Eissa.

February 09 : Katherine Jackson claims she was the victim of years of mental abuse at the hands of her nephew and driver, Trent Lamar Jackson, to the point where she is afraid to return to her home.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Jackson, 86, claims her nephew (through marriage) has accessed her bank accounts without her permission, used credit cards of hers for his own personal purchases without authorization, and subjected her to years of mental abuse that has left Jackson “in a constant state of fear and confusion.”

Jackson describes her nephew as “an abusive con-man” who has manipulated her in order to “assume control of her finances.”

The Jackson family matriarch says she tried to fire her nephew and order him to move out of her guest house, but he has refused. Katherine is currently in London visiting her daughter, Janet Jackson, but is “afraid to go home with Trent there” and “fears he could physically harm her for terminating him.”

A judge granted Jackson’s request for a restraining order and ordered her nephew to move out of her home and return all keys, passwords and combinations to the property.

A hearing has been scheduled for March 1st.

Paris Jackson, the only daughter of music icon Michael Jackson, has separated from her boyfriend, Michael Snoddy.

Jackson, 18, recently chose to end the relationship after less than a year, a source confirms to PEOPLE. But, as can be the case with young love, the source cautions that “circumstances could change” and the couple could reunite. The breakup was first reported by Us Weekly.

February 13 : Prince celebrates his 20th birthday.

Trent Jackson says his aunt Katherine flew to London on January 22 to see her youngest daughter, Janet Jackson, and her newborn son and he has not been in contact with her since she left.
He also said he’s never been served with the restraining order and is still at the house.

February 21 : Bigi celebrates his 15th birthday.

February 23 :  Katherine Jackson has filed legal paperwork to join a lawsuit against the executors of the King of Pop’s estate over a stake of ownership in the Michael Jackson Company.In the initial lawsuit, which has occupied the courts since 2013, former Jackson associates Broderick Morris, Qadree El-Amin, Adean King, and Raymone Bain claim that the singer promised them a combined 15-percent stake in his company.

While Katherine Jackson has a 10-percent ownership and the role of officer in the Michael Jackson Company following her son’s 2009 death, in a motion filed to the California Superior Court in early-February, she asserts that important estate matters have been made without her input.

The defendants, John Branca and John McClain, are the executors of Jackson’s estate. Lawyers for Branca did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An April 19th hearing has been set in Los Angeles to determine whether Katherine Jackson can become involved with the lawsuit.

March : Paris signs a modeling contract with IMG Models and she makes her acting debut with a guest starring role on FOX’s Star.

March 01 : Jermaine attends an hearing in L.A to support Katherine who is still in London with Rebbie & Janet, but is “afraid to go home with Trent there” and “fears he could physically harm her for terminating him.”

March 20 :  Paris is a guest on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Later that night she tweets :  “hope my grandma had the chance to watch the show tonight all the way from the UK… my number one goal is always to make her proud. miss u gam”

Katherine Jackson‘s nephew Trent Jackson has filed new court documents that dispute her recent allegations that he “manipulates” and “bullies” the Jackson family matriarch, and her claims of elder abuse.

Trent claims in a court filing submitted on Monday, and obtained by PEOPLE, that he has “a serious concern” that the 86-year-old’s request is not “authentic or trustworthy,” and that even if she signed it herself, he does not believe it was drafted “under her own free will.”

He further alleges that Katherine “may be the subject of undue influence perpetrated by some of her own children, who are keeping her secluded in London while they seek to separate her from people she is close with, like [Trent], who might resist their efforts to take control over her interest in Michael Jackson’s estate.”

He later names Jermaine Jackson as one of the people involved in trying to keep him away from her.

Katherine Jackson’s lawyers and a rep have not responded to multiple requests from PEOPLE for comment.

March 24 : In a new declaration — obtained by TMZ — Katherine says she’s in London because she’s scared to come home for fear Trent will now seek revenge on her. She says she’s now filled with stress and anxiety, and she’s now taking new meds to cope. Katherine also says she’s had meeting with social workers from Adult Protective Services and they will vouch for the authenticity of her claims.

March 28 : Katherine Jackson must leave her daughter Janet Jackson’s London home and take the witness stand in California if she wants her voice heard in her elder abuse battle with nephew Trent Jackson, a judge ruled Tuesday. It was the first day of testimony in her restraining order trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court, and Judge Rolf Treu said he wouldn’t accept a sworn statement from the King of Pop’s 86-year-old mom in place of her live appearance and cross-examination.

March 30 : Katherine flies from London to L.A with Rebbie. She is taken to Rebbie’s house in order to avoid Trent & TJ at her Calabasas home.

It’s amicable and Eissa will stay with his mother, who is basing herself in London.”

April 16 : Austin & Genevieve spend Easter sunday with Rebbie & Katherine.

April 25 : Katherine files a request to dismiss the case against Trent without prejudice, however, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Rolf Michael Treu grants the dismissal with prejudice, preventing her from filing the restraining order again with the same evidence and allegations in the future. The judge does note that future conduct can be litigated.

Katherine’s new lawyers, Nelson J. Handy and Vatche Zetjian, explained that Katherine didn’t understand the extent of the action brought about by the case when she initially filed the temporary restraining order request in February, and said that she was not prepared for a trial, or having to testify in court.

In court documents filed by Katherine’s attorneys and obtained by E! News, it’s stated that Katherine is “no longer needed to fulfill the duties” that were needed back in 2012. The documents also say that given Katherine’s age, 87, and that Blanket is now 15, she “feels that TJ is able to assume all necessary responsibilities of the guardianship” for him.

March 15 : Sony To Buy Michael Jackson’s Half Of Sony/ATV For $750 Million

Michael Jackson earned more than any entertainer dead or alive in the first five years after his untimely passing. When the total soared past $1 billion last year, it seemed an incomparable milestone–at least until today, when Jackson’s estate announced the sale of the King of Pop’s half of the Sony /ATV catalogue to Sony for $750 million. “When Sony first partnered with Michael Jackson 21 years ago to create Sony/ATV Music Publishing, we knew that this company had the ability to reach great heights,” said Michael Lynton, CEO of Sony Entertainment, in a statement. “This acquisition will enable Sony to more quickly adapt to changes in the music publishing business.”

May 6  : « The estate of Michael Jackson could not be clearer — the deed that was recorded giving Katherine Jackson ownership of the family’s Encino estate is bogus to the core.

Attorney Howard Weitzman is scoffing at the deed TMZ first told you about … filed by Katherine which gives her 25% ownership in the home, and each of MJ’s 3 kids 25% as well. Weitzman says it’s laughable that the person on the deed changing the title is Michael Jackson … who is utterly incapable of giving anything to anyone anymore. Weitzman says, “Michael’s estate owns the property for the benefit of his children and Mrs. Jackson has no ownership interest.” As we reported, although Katherine signed a document attached to the deed, she may not be the mastermind, but Weitzman vows to hunt down the culprit.

May 03 : Paris shares a new picture of her with Dominic & Connie Cascio holding a framed photograph of Paris when she was a baby. This picture shows that Paris has remained in contact with the Cascio family.

June 23 : From TMZ : Jermaine Jackson’s wife is filing to divorce him and predictably … she says the trouble started the day she got busted for attacking him. Halima Rashid filed the divorce petition on Tuesday, citing irreconcilable differences, and listing November 28, 2015 as the date of separation. If that date sounds familiar it’s because TMZ broke the story … Halima was arrested for felony corporal injury that day. During a fight on Thanksgiving weekend, Jermaine allegedly spit on her and she allegedly bit him on the leg. Halima is seeking spousal support. They got married in 2004, but don’t have any kids together … so no child support issues. She was wife #3 for Jermaine. Her domestic violence case was tossed because prosecutors couldn’t determine who was the aggressor in the fig.

June 25 : As we take time today to reflect with sadness on the loss of Michael Jackson seven years ago, we can’t help but also acknowledge the enduring impact of his legacy and spirit that continues to inspire people in all corners of the world. In the past year alone, Thriller became the first album in history to be certified triple Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales in excess of 30 million in the US alone. Michael’s timeless masterpiece Off the Wall was celebrated through a new documentary which received widespread accolades while sparking a renewed appreciation for his genius from both critics and the public worldwide.

But Michael Jackson was far more than a multitalented entertainer. In an uncertain world too often plagued by violence and intolerance, Michael’s messages of universal love, compassion, hope and unity are even more relevant today. In his name — for his children, and for everyone inspired by his compassion to “make a better place” for the present and the future — we ask you to keep Michael in your heart.

– The Estate of Michael Jackson

August 13 : Prince, Bigi, TJ, Royal & their cousins visit Joe at his Vegas home.

August 14  : Anthony “James” Jackson II, has filed bombshell new court documents insisting that the singer’s will is invalid and executors have iced him out.

Anthony’s dad, Tony Jackson, was Michael’s first cousin. “When I was seven years old my father Tony passed away,” Anthony writes in the court documents f “Soon after this, the Decedent Michael Jackson stepped in and offered to raise me as his son, as a co parent with my mother Debra Jackson.” Even after Michael’s own children — Prince, Paris, and Blanket — were born, Anthony says he “continued to raise me as his son.” According to Anthony, those intentions were “that I receive a living expense allowance, that all of my education would be paid for, that I would be able to purchase a home … and a vehicle, that I would receive enough funds to start my own business.” Anthony alleges that Michael “also said I was the only one he would allow to use the SONY/ATV music publishing catalogs for any of my projects, for free.” “I should have been receiving Decedent’s Michael Jackson’s intended inheritance for me. I request that I immediately receive [it],” he writes in the court documents, “and for them to be retroactive” from the singer’s death date, June 25, 2009. In the 128-page filing, Anthony lays out a complicated argument for why he has been denied what he says is rightfully his. Simply put, he claims that the will is invalid, and there is a major “conspiracy” in place. “I question if this will is authentic, especially since the Decedent Michael Jackson told me and my mother Debra Jackson in 2003, the will he was forced to sign in 2002, in my presence, no longer existed,” he alleges. “…I believe the will and the trust documents were never notarized and they have never been authenticated.” In addition, Anthony insists, “The executors violated my rights and proper legal procedure because I never received the notice of probate … I believe not noticing me was a tactic by the executors to gain control of the estate, because I believe they knew I would question the authenticity of the will and object to their being the executors…” “I believe the executors knowingly violated the trust laws,” the court documents claim, further alleging that they “… exploited the estate assets for personal profit, trustee compensation.” It’s not the first time that Anthony has faced off against the Jackson family in court. In December 2013, he petitioned for guardianship of Paris, Prince, and Blanket, but was denied.

August 27 : On Saturday, Aug. 27, the Estate of Michael Jackson teamed up with Michael Jackson ONE by Cirque du Soleil to launch a three-day birthday celebration for the King of Pop, who would have been 58 years old, Aug. 29.

Sources close to the family tell TMZ … Paris had been itching to cut the cord from living with her grandmother in Calabasas … where Blanket and several of her cousins also live. We’re told the family had security concerns about her living just anywhere, so it was suggested she use MJ’s old compound. Michael’s estate controls all of his properties, meaning … technically, Paris needed permission to live there. We’re told she went to them, and pointed out she basically owns the crib as part of her trust — and the estate didn’t fight her. As for why she’s in the guesthouse — the main house is being remodeled. We’re also told Paris is living there completely on her own. She and bf Michael Snoddy recently posted pics from the backyard — he comes and goes, but does NOT live there.

October 01 : Sony Finalizes Acquisition of Michael Jackson Estate’s Stake in Sony/ATV Publishing

The completion of the previously announced deal “marks the start of an exciting new chapter in our proud history,” says Sony/ATV CEO Martin Bandier. The Sony Corp. has completed its acquisition of the Michael Jackson’s estate share of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, giving it sole ownership of the music publishing powerhouse. The deal was first announced in March, but it took a while to close because the transaction had to be scrutinized by the EU Commission and because the Jackson estate needed to do some house cleaning in preparation for cashing out, sources say. While the press release announcing the closing said that Sony paid $750 million for the Jackson’s estate 50% share in the company, Billboard estimates that the company’s valuation was anywhere from $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion when debt and an earlier agreed upon discount– for some other consideration previously given by Sony to the Jackson estate–are taken into account. “The payment also reflects certain contractual and accounting adjustments related to the Sony/ATV joint venture and other commercial opportunities involving Sony and the Estate,” the announcement said.

October 17 : Michael Jackson fans are to be thrilled all over again with a ‘spectacular’ new top secret Thriller project, original director John Landis has revealed during a visit to Sheffield. The Hollywood legend says he has just finished work on it but details won’t be out until next year. The 66-year-old revealed: “I can tell you something about Thriller that you are going to find out about in 2017. I just finished that and it’s pretty spectacular. It’s a surprise. It involves’s Michael Jackson’s Thriller.”I’d tell you more but the Michael Jackson estate would kill me.”

November 03 : The Los Angeles Times publishes an exclusive interview + photoshoot of Prince Jackson at Hayvenhurst. “Prince Michael Jackson can’t sing or dance. How he’s still following in his father’s footsteps. Providing a rare tour of his father’s Encino compound Hayvenhurst, he is, at 19, a young man prepared to set his own course, one that honors his father but does not imitate him. “Everyone thinks I’m going to do music and dance,” he says, laughing wryly because, as he is the first to admit, he cannot do either. Jackson is interested in producing entertainment but from behind the scenes. Earlier this year he produced his first music video, for Omer “O-Bee” Bhatti’s “Automatic,” and used it to launch King’s Son Productions, the name a wink toward his father’s 1980s coronation as the King of Pop. Another video, for the Sco Triplets, soon followed. He’s standing inside the Encino compound that’s been in the family for nearly a quarter century. The two-acre estate named for the street it’s on has served as inspiration for Jackson. Though the main house is under renovation, his younger sister Paris, now 18, lives in the guesthouse and Jackson visits often. Hayvenhurst is a “sacred place” for Jackson, he says, and not just for the rich family history. This is where he and his siblings came to live to be raised by their grandmother after their father’s death. “It was beneficial. There was 16 people here,” Jackson said, rapidly listing cousins and relatives who occupied the estate after Michael’s death. “It took you away from the grief. We’d wake up in the middle of the night, make quesadillas and talk.”

November 22 : Paris & her boyfriend attend Austin’s 31th birthday in Malibu.

John Branca to Billboard : “We have some incredibly exciting projects coming up in 2017, although we probably will not continue to release unreleased music. In the case of XSCAPE, the most recent release, L.A. Reid said he was only going to work on songs where Michael did complete vocals, because that showed he actually cared about the songs. And of course, that album produced the worldwide #1 hit track, “Love Never Felt So Good,” a duet with Michael and our client Justin Timberlake”.

December 30 : Another Bogus Lawsuit involving Michael Jackson’s name

Believe it Or Not: A Michael Jackson Court Case Is Going on Right Now in Los Angeles. It’s hard to believe, but six and a half years after his tragic death, yet another court case involving Michael Jackson is going on right now in Los Angeles. The case is billed as Qadree El-Amin vs. Michael Jackson Estate (John Branca, John McClain). Although she’s not named as a plaintiff, the person lurking behind this effort to extrude money from the Estate is Michael’s former p.r. lady and “manager,” Miss Raymone Bain. Raymone Bain — one of four people claiming part ownership in a company created by Jackson — took the witness stand on the second day of a non-jury trial resulting from a petition filed by the Jackson estate, which is seeking to have the estate declared the sole owners of the Michael Jackson Co. LLC. Bain, Qadree El-Amin, Broderick Morris and Adean King say they collectively own about 15 percent of the company under a 3 a.m. deal to which Jackson agreed in a Tokyo hotel room on June 1, 2006. King was the only one of the four not present when the alleged accord was reached.

James Safechuck files a lawsuit against Michael Jackson’s estate, alleging that Jackson had sexually abused him over a four-year period beginning when Safechuck was ten years old. Safechuck claimed that the abuse started after he met Jackson during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1986. He alleged that Jackson groomed him with gifts and attention, leading to incidents of sexual abuse during the singer’s 1988 “Bad” tour. The lawsuit contended that Jackson’s companies, MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures, facilitated the alleged abuse by creating an environment that allowed it to occur.

May 12 : The latest sexual assault complaint, filed in court last Friday, remains sealed, but two sources close to the case revealed that the man involved is James Safechuck, who appeared in a Pepsi ad featuring Jackson in 1987 and proceeded to have a close association with the singer for several years. Safechuck has always denied that Jackson had molested him. Safechuck added his name to a suit originally filed by Wade Robson in May 2013. Robson, an Australian who is now 31, testified in Jackson’s defense at the singer’s 2005 trial, where the pop icon was found not guilty of child molestation and other charges. But later, Robson changed his mind. Last year, he alleged in a civil suit against Jackson’s estate that the singer had forced him to perform sex acts. Both Robson, who was once a top Hollywood choreographer, and Safechuck, 36, are represented by the L.A. law firm of Gradstein & Marzano. Partners in that firm declined to comment on their latest filing.
