Raymone Baine will do a bombshell announcement in a forthcoming press conference in the upcoming days !!!

Michael Jackson 's former publicist has said she'll soon make a "major announcement" about the late star's legacy.
Raymone Bain, who used to represent the singer, has released a bizarre statement saying she'll hold a press conference to deal with a mandate made by him three years before his death.
Bain, who was Jackson's media spokesperson throughout his 2005 child sexual abuse trial, in which he was acquitted on all counts, told the Daily Star that she's planning to hold a press conference to make "a major announcement regarding Michael Jackson and his legacy... in conjunction with a mandate made by him on October 6, 2006".

I recommend not clicking on these links in order to avoid giving these tabloids attention. Especially the Sun (2nd link) does not deserve clicks.

It just says that Baine will hold a press conference without being more specific.

And the Sun calls Michael a paedo.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's publicist to make mystery announcement about his legacy

(If that's an official profile) she just put a "#DefendMJLegacy" tag on her Facebook, and posted a photo with her an Michael. So I doubt it's going to be anything negative about Michael.

Does anyone know what the status with her legal battle with the estate is? Was that ever solved?

With thanks to a previous member here:

May 2014:

Raymone Bain lost her appeal in the $44 Million lawsuit she had filed against MJ Estate.

Appeal court ruling here: http://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/E77F64B8A82B80BD85257CD700505946/$file/12-7061.pdf

In a short summary: Bain had entered into an agreement with Michael Jackson in 2006 which gave her 10% from any deal that she brought to Michael. In 2007 Raymone Bain had stopped working with Michael and she had signed a Payment and Release Agreement. Bain was paid $488,820 as "full and final satisfaction of any [and] all monies, known or unknown to be owed" to her.

In 2009 - while Michael was still alive - Bain sued Michael for $44 Million - claiming she's entitled to 10% of several deals such as Thriller 25, This is it concerts etc. Michael Jackson and later his Estate argued Bain wasn't owed any money as she signed the Payment and Release Agreement for any and all money owed to her. District court agreed with MJ Estate and dismissed the case on summary judgment.

A few months after the summary judgment Bain asked for the reversal of the judgment based on a "newly discovered evidence" - a fax that was allegedly sent by Michael stating he wasn't aware of any Payment and Release Agreement. Estate argued against this "newly discovered evidence" on multiple grounds - the main one being Bain hadn't mentioned this fax before. They argued even though she didn't know where the fax was and/or lost it, she should have notified the court of the existence of such fax and ask for time and help of the court to locate it. Court agreed with MJ Estate, stating it wasn't "newly discovered evidence" as Bain knew the existence of the fax and she never brought it up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm wondering if she has now found a 'new fax' from 2006.....

From Amazon:

Michael Jackson: The Lost Years
by Raymone Bain | Jun 1, 2020
Hardcover
$22.00
Pre-order Price Guarantee.
This title will be released on June 1, 2020.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k='raymone+bain'&ref=nb_sb_noss

Summary:

"This is the official, historical chronicle of Michael Jackson&#8217;s thoughts and actions during what was probably the most important period of his life&#8212;the years leading to his death.
One of the greatest pop music stars of all time, Michael Jackson has become a lightning rod of mythology and misinformation, even&#8212; and perhaps especially &#8212;in death. While many authors who have written on the entertainer&#8217;s life and legacy claim to have known him, few truly have&#8212; and fewer knew him as well as Raymone Bain, Jackson&#8217;s longtime spokesperson. In this vital book, she sets the record straight on the last years of Jackson&#8217;s life, from 2005 to 2009, providing the first truly accurate narrative of the icon&#8217;s harrowing demise.

On June 13, 2005, Michael Jackson walked out of the courthouse in Santa Maria, California, a free man. Though acquitted of all child molestation charges, he was a shattered man. Michael Jackson: The Lost Years chronicles the pop star&#8217;s comeback from this devastating chapter of his life, charting his journey of restoration and redemption. Drawing on her intimate proximity to Jackson, Raymone captures these four profoundly significant years&#8212;a period when Jackson began laying the groundwork for his personal and professional comeback, undergoing a complete paradigm shift brought on by his struggles and dedicating himself to making his children, fans, and supporters proud. These were the years during which he intended to recover from long-term professional exploitation and make recording history&#8230;again.

Written with the full intention of countering the circus of distortions, manipulations, speculations, and fabrications that followed Jackson&#8217;s sensationalized death, this authoritative book stands as the final word on a legendary entertainer&#8217;s final years."

If she stopped working for him in 2007, how can she possibly comment on his life after that period, or his death? Good lord. The exploitation from almost everyone who knew him just never ends.

Another loser who was a part of Michael's life writing a cash grab book about her time with Michael Jackson. So typical!

If she is DEFENDING Michael, what’s the problem?
 
Re: Michael Jackson's publicist to make mystery announcement about his legacy

I don't think this is cash grab or for her pay her taxes. i think she is serious about this. so what if she's writes another book she's sticking up MJ. i can't wait to see what she's says in her announcement.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's publicist to make mystery announcement about his legacy

Told you her tax bill was due ?? another leech cashing in. Wonder if she will write about herself trying to screw mj over eoth her lawsuit and the "missing" documents she suddenly found?

Because we must always insist on the truth taking centre stage, not just what suits us. Otherwise we're just the same as them.
 
Thanks respect.


spect77 said:Raymone is now on. Defending MJ, shading the media and shading the Estate for not protecting him.

Apparently a lot of the media broadcasts it, including CNN. That's only possible if she made them think it will be something negative about MJ. Only to turn around and shade them. LMAO. Genius.

Basically she is announcing a new foundation.

@CEThomson
The foundation will be independent of the Estate, says Bain, and funds will be raised via an upcoming tribute. Money will be donated to Los Angeles charities and a foundation run by Michael's son, Prince. https://twitter.com/xZeeex/status/1164543706294378496

Raymone describes President Donald Trump as a 'very close friend' of Michael Jackson and says she would like the president's help to find Jackson's missing will.

Oh dear. https://twitter.com/xZeeex/status/1164543706294378496

She praises Randy and Taj. Sorry, but what did Randy do to protect MJ in the past months? To be honest it feels like another attempt by Randy to rip off the fans. SMH. I understand the frustration with the Estate and yes, they could have done more, but what is Randy's plan then? Apart from fans donating to some foundation he probably is behind.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's publicist to make mystery announcement about his legacy

Went to Youtube to hear what she had to say. Could only take a few mins. She is giving the media reason to ask the celebrities she mentioned to respond. When asked about sexual accusations, cowardly celebrities, pols, pols that are freaking lawyers run for the hills screaming, I believe the accusers. Bad idea mentioning Trump.

Cannot believe she brought Trump into this. What the hell was she thinking? That's a massive fuel dump for the haters. And she's deliberately put the Estate into a position where they now look like the bad guy for doing their job and shutting down this blatant cash grab.
 
Re: Michael Jackson's publicist to make mystery announcement about his legacy

So are any of yous gonna trust her or not?
 
Re: Michael Jackson's publicist to make mystery announcement about his legacy

Raymone talked about Hayvenhurst. I forgot all about that. What happened there? The Estate told the family to leave? And it's sitting empty?
 
Re: Michael Jackson's publicist to make mystery announcement about his legacy

She could have easily thrown Michael under the bus, and made a lot of money doing it. But she didn't do that. She came forward in his defense, and I appreciate her for doing so.

Re: Michael Jackson's publicist to make mystery announcement about his legacy

Here is my take: Whatever issues her and MJ had, that is between them. MJ is gone now and now is the time for people regardless to stand up for what is RIGHT. This is a right or wrong issue and I am glad she still defended him especially with all the media dying for people to trash MJ no matter who it is (this is why I was glad with what Madonna did regardless how I feel about her.). This is about defending what is RIGHT. Michael is being LIED on by 2 liars. Again, I love the fact she talked and pushed that lying Guardian off with their mess in trying to get attention. As for the Trump comment, haters can not say nothing. Trump has his issue but he is not lying about the media. What can the media say now? Trump called them Fake media. Now, this is the same media did not talk about the other side (MJ side) and pushed this trash of doc. Now how can they (media) explain that while getting upset with Trump for calling them Fake yet we see the FAKE news that they (Media) did to MJ who is gone and film showing the LIES of Wade/James and manipulation of Dan in Lies in Leaving Neverland. How can the media explain not showing and talking about Lies in LN? Ms Baine just put them on blast. Also, with Trump, MJ died in 2009 and many people from leaders, to rappers, Hollywood, deal with him close until he revealed who he really was years later. That is not MJ's fault so haters can sit down on that issue. Fight about Ms Bain later, right now we need all fighting warriors against these LIARS.

I miss it like i said i gone to. what i miss? was it good? cause if it wasn't then maybe it was a good thing i missed it.
 
I am glad that Ms Bain defended Michael. But by invoking Trump she has given the media something else to focus on - not her defense of MJ, but her request of Trump (who the MSM despises and ridicules).

I have already seen an article where her request is the lead and NOT her defense of Michael.

I have to say though - the media cannot deny Michael&#8217;s impact and relevance. The man has been gone for 10 years and his ex-publicist can call a press conference and get media attention and coverage.
