Michael Jackson's Word -- Worthless?

Posted Jun 2nd 2009 3:40PM by TMZ Staff

Michael JacksonMichael Jackson's word holds about as much weight as his frame -- at least according to the promoter who plans on suing him over the Jackson family concert.

Michael told us yesterday he was gonna do the concert -- the one with Janet and the Jackson 5 in Texas in 2010 -- but the CEO of the company planning to throw the concert thinks Jacko's word is worth nothing.

Patrick Allocco told us his company will sue M.J. unless the singer signs on the dotted line, promising to sing with his sister and his bros.

Jackson has balked at doing the family concert, favoring his London gig ... which could be in jeopardy.

UPDATE: We just received the following comment from Allocco, "Let me say this as clearly and unequivocally as I possibly can ... I have spoken with Michael Jackson and I believe that he is an honorable man. A man of his word. I look forward to working with him and his entire family on the historic show we have been planning for more than a year."

3. I don't know if the CEO things MJ's word is worthless; any businessman worth his salt would get a signature on a contract before preparing for such an event I would think. How will he sing through the mask though?

5. I would think he would want the signature on the contract regardless of MJ's word. How can he speak or sing through the mask?

7. I agree with #4 Foghorn Leghorn, Get the signature on the contract and argue later. It is a shame that a person's word doesn't mean anything, anymore. I guess that's why we need lawyers.

9. Let's see. Trust and the words Michael Jackson.Duh,not working 4 me. He won't screw his family over but....when it comes 2 repaying money,honoring contracts-even signed ones-sure screw them..Unless theres underage boys involved well then u can b sure u can trust MJ to take "care" of his business obligations.Im still waiting for someone to legally find a way 2 keep him away from any kids-ever again.

13. PLEASE! this guy was so talented, yes. no-one can argue that!. however he is a sick sick pedophile -- where there is smoke; there's fire. anyone who thinks he is innocent of molesting children is niave. he's now a middle aged freak; a sideshow; people are more interested in if he nose is going to fall off rather than if he's going to sing "billie jean" at a concert.

14. He could get Weird Al to stand in for him. It would probably be more entertaining.
