Michael Jackson's PR Flack -- She's That Good!

Michael JacksonWe just got our hands on the lawsuit filed by Raymone Bain, Michael Jackson's longtime publicist. This is the best ...she's suing for $44,000,000, plus attorney's fees.

What comes to mind immediately ... is Jacko's image so good it's worth 44 million clams? Just askin'...

In all fairness, Bain claims she ran every single aspect of Jackson's life ... which raises the question, shouldn't he be able to sue her?

Bain says she arranged his housing, paid his bills, ran his companies [into the ground?], saved him from foreclosure, and on and on.

Ha! And she did NOTHING beneficial for him, she was a leech like all the others. Her services weren't worth $1,000 let alone $44,000,000!!!

6. Is he worth it? Why did they have to cancel the auction of his personal belongings because of lack of interest.

7. Our court-system has totally gone out of control.. that people are even allowed to sue for that amoun of money is outrageous! If she controled all of his buisness like payin his bills etc, that mean she had access to his money.. why didnt she pay herself right then?

TMZ asks if he is worh that amount of money?! Ha, you losers! The King of Pop is the worlds most famous man. He is global. And a very wealthy man. At his top, he had earned around $750 million. Michael Jackson co-owns the SONY/ATV music catalouge which contains around 700 000 songs from The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley and pretty much all the artist out there. Forbes estimated in 2006 that this earns him $80 million/year. Got that? He gets all that money without even have to do a thing. Michael Jackson owns his own music aswell, which is very rare of artists to do. He owns a lot of properties aswell and he still owns Neverland. He sold it to a company he co-owns. This is just a few things where Michael cahses in. He gets cash from a lot of other buisness aswell. And now he sold out 50 shows in London.. the shows will get him around $800 million, and I havent even included merchandise. So TMZ.. you ask if Michael Jackson is worth 44 million dollars? Well, you just got your anwer

9. I think that's hilarious. It's not like any PR he's gotten in the last 15 years is positive. But, America today dictates that you can fail miserably at your job and still make millions.

11. Ok, I have to admit I'm lost on this one. Why is she suing? Is she claiming she was never paid? On another thought, I wonder if Michael could buy himself a face transplant? Well they are doing them these days and you know what a freakazoid he is about that kinda stuff......just sayin

12. If she paid his bills then she is the reason she has not been paid. Mike should sue her for neglecting to pay his bills properly.

Posted at 7:25PM on May 6th 2009 by Now what now?

13. When it rains, it pours. People know Jackson is in for a big payday, so they come out of the woodwork. Everyone wants a piece of the money pie.

One second he's supposedly dying, the next he's supposedly broke, the next he sells out a trillion dates at a big venue and then here come the vultures.

The amount, the document, and the timing is all suspect. He supposedly can make up to $400 million dollars or more if everything pans out (i.e. a world tour, album, other deals) and she supposedly gets around 10%.

i.e. it's all a crock.

14. ummmmmmmmm yeaaaaaaaaaaa! She paid his bills?? Then exactly WHY were they trying to sell all his Neverland weird stuff?? Wasnt it because of Bills and Taxes... Um some one didnt do a good job in the first place... Hay LEACH go get a REAL job.. I hear Burger King is always hireing.. Leave M.J. alone!!

15. The auction was not cancelled due to lack of interest, it was cancelled because Michael won a court battle to stop the auction so he could keep his belongings.
