Jackson Allegedly Racked Up Huge Rx Bills

Michael Jackson RX billsOn the subject of Michael Jackson taking too many prescription drugs...

We went back to our files and found a 2007 lawsuit against Jackson for allegedly not paying a pharmacy bill -- grand total: $101,926.66.

Mickey Fine Pharmacy in Beverly Hills sued Jackson, claiming he agreed to "pay the purchase price of any prescription medications filled."

The case was dismissed a month after it was filed -- that typically means there was a settlement.

31. i think its sad and horrible you have people here on the internet bath mouthing a man that if he could he would give his life to help those in need or less fortunette. Michael didint havet anyone to help him did he? We all know the Evan Chandler story, he accused Michael of abusing his kid but we forget to say how much child support he owed , almost $80,000. but ofcourse we leave things like that out dont we? The alligations of Michael being a child molester i feel were fake and not true. It comes with the territory of Michael being who he was. The man was a legend and will be greatly missed. let the man RIP , and let his legacy live on!!!

32. If he wants to know who's responsible for his overdose, MJ should just look in the mirror. Oh, wait. He can't. He's dead.

33. #23 You better be careful. What goes around comes around and payback is a bitch. Shame on you for throwing stones at a dead man.

34. If Micheal took drugs or was addicted to pain killers... it doesn't matter how he got them......He would have gotten them no matter what it took...It's really a sad thing...We should be outraged that he abused drugs.......

36. Not making any excuses for his screwed up family, but it does sound like they're encouraging an investigation of the doctor, at least. Some" doctor", by the way... doing CPR on a bed, for cryin' out loud.

37. The only people defending MJ are either child molesters or those who don't care that he was molesting childern.

While he was a great musician and peformer, he was a horrible human being and is lucky someone didn't take him out before this.

Ironic his DR did it.

All you morons who think he wasn't a drug addict or child molester probably still believe in santa clause to.

The whole thing is just sad. They guy had the world in his hands and totally threw it away.

Elvis was a drug addict and it did him in just like MJ drug addiction killed him as well.

For all you mindless MJ fans, let that be a lesson to you. Drugs kill no matter how famous our unfamous you are.

39. Michael Jackosn said he had Lupus, he would have needed a lot of medication, before it eventually kills you.

40. Cracks me up when people claim Michael was a child molester..fact is
he was never, EVER charged or convicted of any such CRIME! people
say" well if someone isnt guilty they dont pay people off" thats the
most pathetic claim ever..
how about this...if you were the parent of a so called "victim" of
child abuse..would you settle? If a parent that was truly
out to get the man who hurt their child and took a paycheck in
stead..THE PARENT is the REAL MONSTER.
Micheal was guilty of one thing..loving people too much..trusting
people too much..!

Micheal is in heaven with his maker ..Bless his soul forever..He was all that is good and pure in this world..RIP Michael, we love you and we all know the TRUTH

all these people that made false claims and sold out their kids like
PIMPS are going to HELL!

41. There are several things to be considered here. Did Jackson have a health insurance plan? Did he take medications that are incredibly expensive for any of his conditions? (Morphine is cheap...no way he could have racked up a bill like that on common prescription painkillers. Some meds, though, are several hundred into the thousands per month without insurance, though). Did he guarantee payment for his employees' pharmacy accounts there?

I think we'd need to see the details of the suit or the pharmacy account in order to make any good judgments about the exorbitant (alleged) amount owed. I'm not sure what I think of MJ (love his music, but don't know what to make of him otherwise), but it's unfair to print something like that without having the backstory or further information to shore up the insinuations.

42. Everyone knows this-it's general knowledge. Michael Jackson signed his own death certificate years ago by making poor choices in his personal life and drugs were one of those poor choices.

Tuesday afternoon I was walking to my psychiatrist appointment (he works out of his house on Coldwater Canyon) and saw a Mickey Fine pharmacy vehicle-a late model compact car-pull into a gated driveway. My first thought was they were making a delivery to Michael Jackson (it wasn't the house he's renting but I didn't know that at the time-but I did know the words Michael Jackson and Mickey Fine were synonomous.

43. Hello,

I am 35 years old. And yes, no matter what the age....you can still help people who are drug addicts. My FATHER began using drugs when I was 23 years old, he was OVER 50 years old. It took his 3 children (me and my 2 sisters) to get him the help he needed,, because he DID NOT think he had a problem. Many drug addicts will NOT help themselves, it takes family members to do it for them. It's a long, difficult battle but it can be done....even with a 50 year old. It's a really LAZY way to not want to take any blame or action for trying to help a loved one battle something so terrible.

Would you sit on the sidelines and watch your child, you sibling, your brother kill himself? Or would you do everything possible to help with their addictions? Or would you just sit on the sidelines and make sure you drug addict son sent the checks to pay your mortgage every month? Janet has money, or was she to busy with her own life to give a rat's a** that her brother was one injection away from killing himself. Who is gonna pay his parents mortgage now? Or buy their bentley's for them?

If your child, even at 50 years old, was addicted to demerol and feared that he would OD as reported, what would you do? Just shrug your shoulders, as you insinuate, and say "they are 50, they are on their own" ?? Continue to take his money without trying to get him the help he needed? It's called enabling, and it makes the person sitting by watching just as guilty as the person harming themselves.
