Jacko's Thriller 'Date' Sues -- Michael Stiffed Me!

Posted May 5th 2009 2:35PM by TMZ Staff

The chick who starred as Michael Jackson's female date in the "Thriller" video is suing Jacko and his production company -- claiming she hasn't been paid royalties from the legendary video.

We spoke to Ola Ray's attorney, who tells us the former Playboy Playmate is suing for breach of contract because she claims she never got her cut of the "Thriller" profits.

We're told Ola's not sure exactly how much she's owed -- her accountants will figure that out.

62. I recall that she DID in fact try to sue him way back when, but was ignored. I applaud her for keeping up with all this. And Billy Jean was probably his lover too. Where is she? Here's some interesting reading http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/05/06/2009-05-06_gloves_are_off_thriller_model_sues_for_royalties.html

68. love the "B---h Pleaze" comment

Sorry she was not contractually entitled to profits/royalties.
Anyone could have done her part. She should be happy she got the part. Not that good looking.

Gold digger. Go get another job.
