Celebrity Justice
Jacko Sued for Not Paying for His Meds

Michael JacksonTMZ has learned that a Beverly Hills pharmacy claims Michael Jackson ran up a $100,000 tab for prescription meds, but never paid.

TMZ has obtained the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, by drugstore to the stars Mickey Fine Pharmacy. The store, which often delivers its wares via motorcycle, alleges they had an oral agreement with Jackson to pay for any prescriptions they filled. The pharmacy claims Jackson made his last payment to them in mid-2005. According to the documents, the pharmacy made "repeated requests for payment." Perhaps Jacko thought that "oral agreement" was related to how to take the pills.

They are asking for the $101,926.66 they are owed, plus court costs and other relief. Jackson's asking for a glass of water and a napkin.

Calls to Jackson's reps were not immediately returned.

47. This was already resolved. MJ has sued his accountants who took 2.5M from him every year for the past 3/4 years but didn't pay the bills they were suppsed to pay. TMZ I believe reported on that suit. These lawyers have refused to be audited or to hand over MJ's files..... so everyone they were supposed to pay is suing now......

anyways in response to TMZ's report MJ's crew responded:
Michael Jackson's Response:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Raymone K. Bain

54. It's so sad that so many people bad mouth Michael J. Have you not forgotten all the joys and great musical wonders that he has given you and the world? People have faults, big faults...that is only human. What great contribution have you made to the world that entitles you to demean Jackson to such extent? Or, let's see what skeleton might there be in your closet?

56. Back off of MJ! He's was found not guilty by an all white jury! Everybody that left a negative comment, what does your credit look like? If MJ was broke like you claim, how did he just buy a nother mansion in Las Vegas? How does he still own NeverLand? How does he still own 25% of Sony publising? How come he has not had to sell all his belongings like Whitney Houston? He takes care of his kids. I bet his children live better than everybody else who left a nasty comment. White people love to try to dog a black person even though all of your style and music and art you stole from us? F--- Elvis. He was a bigger drug addict than MJ ever could be. Elvis, who you hold in such high regard was a thief and a drug addict. As a matter of fact if I recall, he was found dead on a tolet seat with a big turd hanging out of his rear end yet white folks think this man is God. Elvis is the King. The king of stealing black music and rhythem(ask Little Richard and Chuck Berry). He's the King of Bull sh*t movies and most of all the king of popping pills. The beatles is another Crock of non talented White people who got on because they were White! Don't hate because MJ knocked your white Gods out of the box. Long live the King of POP

57. Entertainment personalities generally feel entitled to whatever they want; and they're given far too much slack by star-struck "civilians." A friend of mine works for a major computer company, and was all tickled when the personal assistant of a huge celeb contacted her for a hard-to-get model. Did the legwork, got the computer.. and waited for payment. Both the star and the assistant were highly offended when asked to pay the bill.

58. All I can say is he is BLACK TRASH! Perhaps Viagra is more expensive they we thought.

59. OK, calm down. Which of you don't owe money to someone? Mortgage company? Credit card bills? Car loans? And how many want YOUR pharmacy list printed. According to rxlist.com, #1 drug, Vicodin for 2005 and 2006. Antidepressants. Statins because we refuse to eat right and exercise...go ahead, throw the first stones. I, for one, say silly putty and demorrhal are expensive...and I for one, think he needs all the drugs he can get. Haters, lots of haters....

60. King of Pop? He's the king of popping a stiff one into little boys. Why hate on Elvis? He was able to market his talent where as the black you referred to didn't. Michael is a sick freak just like OJ.
