MJ Estate versus Melissa Johnson and HTWF /Update: Settlement Enforced - HTWF lost the Appeal

Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

I wouldnt be so quick to think that Mann has been shut out...he paid all her legal fees..he is going to wait and be compensated. Mann is evil and underhanded I am sure he is lurking in the background waiting for this court date to be over...no doubt he will somehow worm his way in with Johnson...even if he is still her silent partner ..from a distance

I don't see him going away easily either, BUT he definitely was planning on using those registered trademarks. I'm not sure he will be able to get around that, IF it's true that the trademarks will be transferred to the Estate.

He was BRAGGING about having a SATELLITE ESTATE, because he would have control of those registered trademarks. I'm not sure, but that does not seem likely now.
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

I personally will not support any HTWF as long as Melissa Johnson continues to be involved in it.
Same here. As long as that lunatic is involved, they can forget about my money.
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Even though the new update Marc_vivien posted from TMZ seems favorable and establishes most of what MJ Estate wanted in the lawsuit (control of the trademarks), I personally will not support any HTWF as long as Melissa Johnson continues to be involved in it.

and I hope my above sentences are read by the people who have attacked us as "Branca Fans" or "on payroll on Estate" etc, because it shows you that we aren't and if we don't agree with the Estate's decisions we will tell it like it is.

Ditto, I wont support it either as long as she is there.

Plus, funny thing about being called a Branca fan when it turned out their ringleader (Johnson) was the one who teamed up with Branca in the end... LOL
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Its far better if the Estate has the control over the foundation than illegal activity of Johnson and MANN! exploiting MJs name and stuff....

What about shutting that mess down and create a new charity? Why use that oen with all the stigma of that lunatic all over it.

Ditto, I wont support it either as long as she is there.

Plus, funny thing about being called a Branca fan when it turned out their ringleader (Johnson) was the one who teamed up with Branca in the end... LOL

I can tell you...regardless of WHO has control of HTW I will not give a PENNY to that charity. EVER.

I am just sad for Michael's children. Again, their money will be used to fix Katherine Jackson greed-motivated mess.

The hell with all of them.

So Johnson is working essentially under the supervision of John Branca now. How's that workin' out for ya, Taaj?

andjustice4some
Guess Johnson won't be making any of those "hijacking the Estate" videos any more.

@Ivy_MJJC :) apparently HTWF & Johnson no longer aims to uncover Branca's fraud and illegal activities but happily work with him :)
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Johnson will be fired

It will be the same thing. They could send all the shit people involve with this fake business in jail, and now they are happy togather. Big LOL, Estate and Jacksons and company look like morons

This is funny. Dip, maybe they release the RST? It's also your dream, right? :rofl:

Tagueule T! :lol:

RST is not porn it's Royal Sex it's not the same.

The only movie where we know that lucky bitch will be good :lol: , so leave the RST off the hands of these bastards.
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Michael Jackson is the only person during my life time who really tried to "Heal the World".
He deserves a lasting charitable memorial.
So, I will continue to pray for the best outcome
for the "Heal the World Foundation". :angel:
I pray it becomes a charity Michael's children will be proud to continue.

HTWF...will NEVER in a million years get another red cent from my wallet...if Michael wanted his version of this charity revised he would of done it HIMSELF and NOT fought to have it shut down...how the estate can in good conscience settle with a crazy fake idiot like Johnson is beyond me...NO MJ fan that I KNOW WILL EVER GIVE A DIME TO THIS CHARITY or support anything that they do or sell. Johnson has already given this charity a BAD rep...when she stole from grieving fans...she killed it.

if what we have read is true then other than mann sueing johnson etc there is no way he can do anything.johnson has back shafted him and joined forces with the estate so to speak. The estate now has full control and man was only in with johnson so he could work with her if she won the right to use mjs name etc.but now shes handed everything to the estate.mann has nothing
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

It is truly sad the words "Heal the World" have taken on a negative connotation for some of you.
It will take Divine guidance to make the Heal the World Foundation positive again.
I pray we get it.:angel:
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Is it really so shocking?
All they care about is making business and money. Both sides. That's it.
The estate doesn't care for what fans think or for Michael as a person. They never did. It's just business for them. How many more proof do we need?

I really wonder what's with Mann.

Exactly! I'm not shocked by the outcome at all. Of course I don't want a shaddy character like Mann to be asscociated with Michael's business matter. But, I don't see the Estate as the knight who guard Michael's legacy at all cost.

I guess this pretty much shows what the Estate sees in Michael. He's a product now. Their priority is always profit driven. They never care about what we think or what Michael would have wanted.

I'm sick of Mann. At the same time, I'm disheartened by decisions made by the Estate.
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Well, I'm glad that the Estate has control now, but I'm NOT happy with the crazy stalker Johnson still being involved with MJ's charity and because of that will not support it.

For those who say this is "not shocking," I will disagree. it's utterly shocking! This was a sure-win case for the Estate. Johnson never spoke to Michael, and they had no written correspondence. Plus, she apparently gets "communications from angels," and that just doesn't SOUND good. Angels were telling her to steal Michael's image and logo and brands? That is NOT good, and any court would have seen through it. She had no proof at all. And we all KNOW about Mann, right?

I'm thinking now that there must be something terribly ugly behind the scenes. "Happily working with Branca?" WTF is going ON??? The Estate could have easily WON!

Yeah, he needed Johnson's registered trademarks in order to LEGALLY sell any Michael Jackson related products. That's "probably" the ONLY reason he got involved with Johnson in the first place.

In my opinion, the only charity he's concerned with is the "Charity of Howard Mann." I bet he's pissed. LOL!
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Johnson has already given this charity a BAD rep...when she stole from grieving fans...she killed it.
My feeling exactly.

Now I also wonder where do Joe and Randy fit in all this. Because they were waiting for money, so now what? Will they get a job at the new charity?
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

The MJ Estate settled with the HTWF. I hope the terms are in favor of the Estate

True. It's royal love making. :wub:
But I don't care where the RST comes from. As long as we get it. Go Mann release it! :clapping:
Just kidding. :cheeky:
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

I wonder how much money the estate plans to give to the charity. Will the whole 20% be funneled through this charity and then distributed to charities that actually do charitable work? And, how much will the Board of Directors be paid?
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Same here, I would never believe HTWF as long as Johnson get involved.
I am also wanting to know where Mann, Joe and Randy going to fit in.
Although I am not suprised that the estate only saw MJ as a product but I am still disappointed.
The whole case is ridiculous and I am disappointed that the esate back off. Maybe they just don't want things to be ugly.
I hope they won't back off on Mann's case.
Still, I feel so sorry for Michael. This whole mess is unbelivable. I just wish PPB good luck.
They will seem to have a hard life as MJ's kids.

I don't really know all the details behind the scenes. I don't know if the Estate is forced to make a compromise (it doesn't feel like it though given they reached a settlement relatively fast). The reason I'm not shocked because I don't see the Estate as the fighters who will do anything to safeguard Michael's legacy. They run the Estate like any good businessman will run a business. It's about cost. It's about benefit. It's about profit. Bottom line, it's about money. The Estate has done a good job in re-negotiating better terms for the outstanding financings. That goes hand in hand with money. Financially, the Estate has made many great decisions. So, may be the Estate does not want to get involved in another costly legal battle? Who knows? One thing I observed is that it's never about honoring Michael's memory.

I guess it depends.. I know some charities where the board members dont gets paid and then I know of some board members of charities that are getting paid. Then there might be some adminstration costs.

I hope now the estate will manage and supervise the donations as in WHERE the money goes (if ppl are even willing to contribute lol). I hope Johnson will not have financial control
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

The only "hope" I still have is that I know Branca is a real shark. Without being a fan (apologies to some, ;)), I think he is doing the best for the Estate. Well, that's what I WANT to believe anyway.
*crosses fingers*
 
Re: Update: MJ Estate files supplement to their complaint against Melissa Johnson and HTWF

Word from Estate: Public statement coming....TMZ GOT IT ALL WRONG.

I believe that ANOTHER problem for the Estate is having to fight the Jackson family at EVERY turn. In my opinion, it put's the Estate of Michael Jackson in a "tight" spot when they have these CONTINUED battles with the MOTHER of the deceased.

lol I don't know why this made me laugh so hard lol.
Maybe I am just becoming crazy because of all these mess.
I hope the estate would give us a reasonable explaination.

Cheers?

Seriously, I do HOPE TMZ "got it wrong." Not only was this a sure win for the estate, but thanks to Johnson/Mann, HTW is tainted now. I can't imagine any fans would donate to it if Johnson is involved. . . . . . and as for the general public, who knows? If they do any background research at all before donating, they'd donate ELSEWHERE.
