Jackson Estate Calls La Toya's Murder Accusation "Outrageous"

I'm glad the estate said something about LaToya to be honest. Hoping they do the same with this Carter thing. I wish there was a way to e-mail Branca and Mcclain or contact them. Someone needs to talk to them and send them this thread.
 
The Estate reacts of the Latoya-book more than one week after the pulbishing and one week after her interview.
The Carter-thing about the cok is one day ago. Meanwhile a dementi of Carter. And the thing about the bed-story is a few hours ago.
what bed story?
 
La Toya has to really say who she thinks did these things so it can investigated cause if something happened like this those people must pay for taking Michael from us.
 
I think La Toya needs to shut up, she has not provided any compelling evidence to prove that her story has any merrit. Yes Michael may of said people wanted his catalogue and they wanted to kill him, but with no names of the people who wanted to do it, this topic is futile and should be layed to rest. The more she talks about this the less responsibility is put on Murray. I believed Murray acted solely on his own. He was incompitent and did not monitor MJ the way he was suppose to which resulted in him dieing. I know Murray his happy when the Jacksons bring up all these crappy conspiracy theories, it's just ridculous.
 
And this woman wouldn't have said this before this story as well as the same as those who called in?

Does anyone know for a fact what the Estate has or hasn't done or contacted?
 
I respect what Latoya has to say but it's really all talk unless she has evidence to back up her claims. And I agree I wish the Estate would make a statement about the Carter story.
 
Their "monitoring" the Carter story....o_O say what?! Like what exactly are they waiting for? It's EVERYWHERE, I say to many people are just "monitoring" the story and not the ones u want!
 
Michael the HUMAN is more important then Michael Jackson the brand! Well, at least for many of us that is. But, for others?...*Sigh*

Exactly, bluetopez. This maybe just started circulating a few days ago in the press, but there was word of it circulating on the net for the last 2 weeks. This should have been addressed the same night it hit the press at the least. None of these so called Estate, Sony, business relations, family members seem to get that! It all seems to be about MONEY with them! MJ couldn't have said it better.

Sorry, I try not to go negative, but this is just enough and too much already. :(

The Estate is not going to respond to something that is based on just "word of it." If they didn't have it in hand, there is no way they could put their names on any statement.

There are so many issues going on here and getting to the bottom of what and who should really have their *sses held accountable. I strongly know those that I think should be but for the Estate to do such they need facts and info. to back what they say up. That is how credibility is built so that when they say something is not true concerning Michael then people know not to believe it.
 
sometimes the more you draw attention to a lie the bigger it gets.
 
I know, classic! But these are people who have known Michael for a very long time. They also know what he had to endure from the media for most of his successful adult life. That interviewer was scathing and scornful in her quest to getn Aaron to spew negative innuendo, which he appeared very reluctantly to do. Why he did it, heaven only knows. Maybe he got caught up but I personally believe that he knew what was up when he went into it. But, I'm not saying that the Estate should have come out, arbitrarily placing blame, but some statement of support for Michael would not have been out of line.
 
Dinosaurs have more intelligence then Michael's family!!!!!!
 
They could have kept that statement because honestly noone cares about what Toya is saying about the estate and they never really have.... What they do care about is what AC is saying about MJ. It seems they care more about their names than MJs. I understand not addressing every little thing...... but once this hit the big news stations they should have spoken up. N I wouldn't put it past them to blame others (ex: family) if some deals suffer because of this whole fiasco
 
Thanks to the estate! :)


I don't understand how anyone can say that?

F*** those behind the Estate! I support LaToya's statements in regards to bringing Mike's murderers to justice.

I could give a Rat's you know what about making another dime for an industry that caused this man so much grief in his short time on Earth. How can anyone who truly loved Michael even find it in them to defend the defenseless?

What's wrong with this world? Do YOU NOT see what just happened 2 short years ago to this wonderful man? Do you not see how they just robbed him of everything and left his kids fatherless? Do you not see the state of the world? How can you call yourselves followers of Mike and NOT demand justice for him? He gave his entire life up for this ISH!



God Bless MJ
 
Why must these things be repeated again and again? We continually ask for people to watch their tone in their posts and to make sure you do not attack your fellow members. Calling someone's opinion "Bull" just because you do not agree with it is NOT acceptable. Telling someone to shove it is NOT acceptable. If someone says something you do not agree with, is it possible to still carry on a constructive conversation without backbiting? Yes, but this requires the efforts of all the members here?

Can we please give it a try?

Thank you.
 
In a legal sense, the estate's responsibility is to preserve and grow the wealth Michael left for his heirs. It is not to "preserve his legacy," except as it is a matter of ethics, to do so. However, Michael's wealth and his reputation are linked, in that those who believe Carter's statement would be less inclined to buy Michael Jackson products. So yes, they dropped the ball -- in both a financial sense, and in terms of the legacy.

LaToya's statements didn't tarnish Michael's legacy, but pointed fingers at others for Michael's death (but sadly, without naming names). The estate responded strongly to her "conspiracy talk," but not at all to the Carter statements. That seems BACKWARDS. The Carter fiction isn't just "another rumor," but an incredibly damaging story that has grown legs as it's been repeated by MANY media outlets. IMHO, the estate should have jumped all over it when the story was first out there. A statement from the estate "later," is TOO LATE!

Autumn, I am just thinking out loud here and it is probably wishful thinking but do think it possible the estate has talked to Carter behind the scenes? Maybe giving him a chance to make things right before they go after him? i would guess John Branca knows some powerful people who could make life miserable for Aaron Carter. Here's hoping.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I just wanna add my two cents,

honestly I doubt they actually care much, cuz they've done absolutely nothing about this issue, why would Branca care to make life miserable for prick Aaron when he hasn't even cared to release a 3 sentence statement expressing disgust at the viscious media reporting and Aaron's disgusting lies?


I'm someone who's always been pro Estate, as I consider them to be the lesser evil as opposed the Jackson's. But their action or non- action to precise, toward Aaron & Daphne 's malicious lies have put me seriously off.

In a legal sense, the Estate CAN'T go after Carter. It's not possible to sue for the defamation of a deceased person. What they COULD have done is to publish a forceful statement in defense of Michael's reputation. Could they "go after him" behind the scenes? Maybe, but timing is everything, and this story went around the world, and STILL no official statement has been made.
 
the only reason why the Estate says something is because it makes them (as a company) look bad.. They don't worry so much about MICHAELS image and legacy. the only reason why they claim to is when they benifit from it
 
I'm fed up with the Estate. I still have serious doubts as to whether Michael's will was legit or not. I think it is extremely telling that they defend themselves in regard to La Toya's claims but remain silent re: the Carter fiasco. Plus, they have NO SKILL in knowing how to handle Michael's works, or in getting Sony to market them--the CD is proof of their ineptitude. They may be businessmen (after a fashion) but they are NOT ARTISTS. And therein lies the problem: having businessmen in charge of Michael's art will lead to continued failure, unless they bring some true artists on board to help them. And, of course, said artists would still not be Michael. Having them in charge of his name and estate is similarly disastrous.
 
Of course they're going to go after LaToya because what she's been saying is stepping on a few toes that don't want to be revealed. She's getting more and more bolder with her words and with names!

And YES they should have jumped on Aaron Carter and Daphne Barak regarding that wine/cocaine nonsense. But all we have heard is crickets from the 'executors'.

Why so bold with LaToya but silent with Aaron Carter? Is LaToya's words more of a threat to Michael's legacy or is the words of Aaron Carter?

This action just proves to me what I always believed. Like that old saying goes "It will all come out in the wash."
 
the fan base is not stupid.... We are well educated in the area of Michael, we study and study.. they have to have a little idea at least that we see right threw them.. they must be at the point where.. "We gotta fool the mainstream public.. there will be the real fans that will see threw us but... we gotta do wbhat we can to cover things up that Michael would not be ok with."

Actually, I agree with you. There remain so many QUESTIONS!

To me the LaToya/Carter fiascoes were quite telling. LaToya is claiming "conspiracy," and they jumped all over it. About Carter, not a peep. And IF they were going to protest? They should have done so immediately when the first article came out, not AFTER the story had grown legs and caused damage. (MJJC is to be commended for an excellent damage-control initiative. But FANS should not have to do this. Except? We are all Michael really has, now?) One situation has to do with culpability in Michael's death, but NOT his reputation. The other has to do DIRECTLY with his reputation. LaToya did not name names, specifically, so WHY jump all over it? Protesting too much? And about Carter? Not protesting at ALL.

Agree that there is no artistic supervision of products that are released. There should be NO controversy about authenticity, in any releases. Surely there is more music in the can, than that? I'd still like to know if Michael's personal effects have been cataloged and preserved for the museum that his legacy DESERVES? Or, are they to be sold piecemeal and CUT UP? Or, those were only the things owned by OTHER people, or what? Is there a PLAN to preserve his material legacy, as arguably, the greatest artist who ever lived? And if not, WHY NOT?

I see NO efforts being made by the estate to preserve "Michael's legacy," at all. Both artistically, and in terms of his reputation.

And LaToya? If she knows and has PROOF, she needs to go to the police! Her book didn't name names, either (except the post-it notes she said she found, that Michael wrote.)

I think we need to watch all this, VERY carefully.

Great post!

...And just to add to your point about adding artistic supervision for the products released..I feel above all they should be make every effort to ensure that in the case of new music, to release them the way Michael had created them...I don't like the idea of Teddy being able to alter lyrics or allowing people completely modifying Michael's original concept..There needs to be a higher level of respect for his art..Like you said, Michael is the greatest artist to ever live for a reason, there is no need to change anything. There is plenty of complete songs that can be released and even Michael's demo's (ex. Cheater) are better than anything out there..There really was no need by them to go the 'controversial' route.
