Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

(Not sure why they would need to depose Janet, but hey, I guess it goes with the territory.)

Janet has mentioned an intervention on national TV. I would assume that's why.

Poor family, they thought that AEG would settle the case. Maybe, the family will go after KJ, meaning estate.

I read all the documents. I don't think AEG plans to settle. It's obvious that AEG believes there's no legal or factual base for these claims. Unless Jackson's can find evidence from non- AEG sources, I don't think AEG's position would change.

Oh yeah, makes sense.

Homegirl is gonna have to come up with some SOLID dates now, and not just beat around the bush like she has done in previous interviews. Tyler Perry ain't gonna be able to help her this time around, i.e. her interview with Oprah.

Mrs. Jackson doesn't want to talk to AEG and I'm sure the Jackson brothers' (and their offspring) that Michael has financially supported over the years don't want to talk to AEG either.

AEG ain't playin!

For sure it will be Michael. This has been my opinion from day one.

Great summary Ivy.

Thank you for your incredible work. Well, I hate to say I told you so....But yeah "I told you they had no proof. They are only trying to extort money from AEG".

I never thought I would support AEG, but in this case, they are being taken advantage of by the Jack$on$. I am really looking forward to Randy, Janet, Rebbie & Karen Faye being deposed. Who would have thought AEG would be the ones exposing that family's shadiness.

 

[Big Apple2]

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

If Mrs. Jackson and Company don't comply with AEG's various request in a timely manner, OR ever, can there even be a case going forward?

Because as it would appear, AEG is ready to move forward, but the folks who brought the case in the first place or not prepared to go forward.

Maybe ivy can break it down for us.

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

Lawd Jesus. It looks like the Jacksons have dug their own grave. This is going to be nasty, but I honestly don't care how embarrassing it turns out for family members as long as Michael's name is not dragged through the mud...

Unfortunately Michael will be dragged through the mud. All questions about Mj's drug use and they want to talk ALL members of family.
Family have to keep telling their stories about Michael's drug use and their interventions:-(
I feel sick to even think about it what's going to come out of their mouths.

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

We will learn a lot about the family and their money. I wonder now if Randy wants finally justice. He will get NOTHING from AEG

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

"AEG says they have the right to know the "factual bases" of Katherine's claims against them and if there's no factual bases Katherine's lawyers should say so.
- In their opposition Katherine's lawyers had stated that they didn't have the full body of evidence and they were uncovering evidence from the documents AEG sent them and AEG already has the records of their wrongdoing. AEG responds to this with "AEG is not asking plaintiffs to produce AEG Live's own documents back to it. That would make no sense". AEG says they are asking for the information, documents that Katherine has in her possession."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry after reading this bit.

It's just straight up embarrassing!

It looks like they put all of their ducks in Karen Faye's basket (along with her minions) and now have nothing to back up what ever it is she told them.

To top it off, Faye MIGHT go back into hiding, rather then get involved, just like she did during Murray's trial. The Jackson's certainly can't depend on her.

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

wanted everyone to know after AEG wins summary judgement, this case will not be over[/B]".

"summary judgement" seems like AEG will ask the case to be disposed without a trial.
"this case will not be over" seems to be a mention of lawsuit against Katherine and/ or her lawyers. AEG lawyer explains this as "AEG reserves their right to seek relief if it turns out Jacksons brought this case without any legal or factual basis".

As big apple says, aeg aren't playing! Sounds like a threat to me.

Those depositions are looking uncomfortable for the family, do hope they ask rebbie about that exciting incident of ramming mj's gates with her car in order to save him from his drug enablers. However as much as i would like to see the jacksons having to stand up on oath all these stories they've been peddling these past few years, it's obvious the main person that's going to be damaged is mj - all those questions on drug use, whether he contemplated suicide (?), how close he was to bankruptcy etc. The fact mrs j is dragging her feet so much hopefully is a sign she's going to throw in the towel - for her own sake, if not for mj's.

Thanks ivy for all the summaries.

Because as it would appear, AEG is ready to move forward, but the folks who brought the case in the first place or not prepared to go forward.

Maybe ivy can break it down for us.

Motion to compel hearing is set for April 24. There are several options

1. Katherine as promised gives written answers, documents, sits for a deposition before that date. AEG is happy. They pull the motion of calendar. Case goes on.

2. Katherine doesn't give written answers , documents or doesn't sit down for a deposition or AEG still isn't happy with the responses.

-- April 24 hearing happens, judge denies AEG's request. AEG has to go on with whatever they can get till the trial.
--April 24 hearing happens, judge grants AEG's request and determines dates for the submissions such as saying Katherine has to be deposed within a week, documents has to be sent within 2 weeks and so on.

(There could be more hearings, or changes in schedule , extensions, delays as well)

- In their opposition Katherine's lawyers had stated that they didn't have the full body of evidence and they were uncovering evidence from the documents AEG sent them and AEG already has the records of their wrongdoing. AEG responds to this with "AEG is not asking plaintiffs to produce AEG Live's own documents back to it. That would make no sense". AEG says they are asking for the information, documents that Katherine has in her possession."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry after reading this bit.

KJ's lawyers that sentence was so odd the last time around. they were saying they are finding evidence from AEG's submissions and AEG already has them. AEG now says "we don't want you send us back what we sent you, tell us what you have and what you know".

Ivy do u mind if i share the updated summary with another fan forum

of course. please give a link back to mjjc and keep the disclaimer.

As big apple says, aeg aren't playing! Sounds like a threat to me.

Not necessarily a threat but a right. I said the same thing million times, accusing people with moral turpitude crimes - such as murder or fraud etc - without proof is defamation/ libel / slander in USA.

 

[twinklEE]

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

The ONLY thing they were concerned with was either getting him to appear with them on stage again or finding a way to become part of the O2 gigs. Janet, as we all know, said that there was one member they were still working on. We also know the person she was talking about was her brother Michael!

Add that to Tito Jackson saying that he "hoped that Michael would ask the brothers to join him on stage during the O2 dates." I clearly remember Tito saying that and the look of delight on his face when he said it. I'm sure "Mother" was enlisted to ensure that would eventually happen at some point, i.e. "Michael PLEASE let your brothers join you."

When the family talks about putting STRESS on Michael, they should ALL take a look in the mirror, in my opinion!

I have a very good memory as well, and remember him saying that, I believe I have the video somewhere stored too.

Randys and jermains kids lived at hayvernhurst at no cost to either father as shown in court docs. do we include mj being oressured into the victory tour. his name been used to steal money off the koreans the jackson family honours etc

Letting murray become a millionaire when he comes out doesnt need to be mentioned again so i wont as its beyond words. i wonder if oprah has him signed up already

katherine gets her allowance which is small compaired to what she got before and when she dies thats it. there will be nothing passed on so shes doing what shes always done. protecting the family as a whole rather than the individual and getting money off AEG will insure her other kids have money when shes gone and if that means throwing mj under a bus and letting murray prosper so be it. im sure they will defend such actions by blaming mj for not leaving them money. as its always someone elses fault

The resentment toward MJ is obvious.

agree. that quote reminds me of sneddons motions where he would say" we know theres more victims out there we just cant find them" they filed the case and are just looking for evidence as they go along.

part of me wants this settled because the media will have a field day with his own family calling mj every name under the sun with the argument of well ifs own family says its true it must be. the family dont care about hurting mj cause they want the money and it will make them look good as the normal close family who tried to help which is what they want. so as someone who loves mj part of me wants it settled even if it means the jacksons get money because protecting mj is the most important thing.it just sums it up when u are trying to protect mj from his own family.

No, let it be dragged out, till today MJ's has been called every name under the sun by everyone - including by his so called family- no matter what they call him, nothing can hurt him or likeness anymore. People will eventually forget, but they will remember the Jackson's leeching ungrateful behavior. We've been thru so much, this will fade too, the Jackson's started this mess, I want them to go down in the process.

Agree. if ppl are to believe the jacksons all the conversations that were testifyed to at the trial about murray being asked about mj and murray becoming aggresive etc were all staged and acted out by murray ortega philips gongaware etc when in reality they were nugging and winking at each other and acting out a role because AEG knew exactly what murray was doing. believible?!!!!!

IMO no.

Thanks ivy!

Oh man, AEG is definitely playing hardball now!

I'm not sure I have ever seen anything like this in my entire life. I mean, you bring a lawsuit against someone, but you don't want to participate in the normal, going forward procedures. It's quite apparent, to me, that Mrs. Jackson has no evidence and definitely does not want to be deposed. Strange, since this is HER case.

I'm not going to lie, when I say that I got a bit of a chuckle when I read that AEG wants to know about Tito's alimony payments. And that they want to depose Randy's ex-girlfriend (folks might finally get some MJJSource answers), along with RANDY, Jermaine and Janet. (Not sure why they would need to depose Janet, but hey, I guess it goes with the territory.)

"Jackson Family you're stomping with the big dog's now, I hope you're ready to PUT UP OR SHUT UP!"

This is about to get good, in my opinion. Real Good!

They done went and opened up a can of worms and now can't handle it. LOL!

Since they instigated this, without wasting any thought of possible reputation/image damage to Michael's legacy, I want AEG to finish this. They should go hard on these lazy ass people. It would be nice if the puplic finally realizes what Michael had to endure for over 40 years with these people.

Lawd Jesus. It looks like the Jacksons have dug their own grave. This is going to be nasty, but I honestly don't care how embarrassing it turns out for family members as long as Michael's name is not dragged through the mud...

True

Janet has mentioned an intervention on national TV. I would assume that's why.

Oh yeah, makes sense.

Homegirl is gonna have to come up with some SOLID dates now, and not just beat around the bush like she has done in previous interviews. Tyler Perry ain't gonna be able to help her this time around, i.e. her interview with Oprah.

Mrs. Jackson doesn't want to talk to AEG and I'm sure the Jackson brothers' (and their offspring) that Michael has financially supported over the years don't want to talk to AEG either.

AEG ain't playin!

Yeah she did, she also mentioned reunion talks involving Michael a year b4 Michael passed, back in 2008 on Larry King, where she had that big fat cheesy grin on her face saying she'd like to open for her beloved brothers, and that everyone was on board but Michael, and they'd still ''push him/work on him'' in other words beg/plead/blackmail/harass the sh!t out of him.
I also very clearly remember Ms. Jackson with the same cheesy grin on her face appearing on Oprah in mid/late 2008 saying she hadn't seen NOR spoken to him since the trial ended in June 2005.

I have both videos somewhere, on a notebook.
I'm sure remembering clear dates, will be troublesome for Ms. Jackson given the fact that she hadn't seen nor talked to Michael for 4 years before seeing him at that so called anniversary in May 2009.

It's gonna get real embarrassing for them

Great summary Ivy.

Thank you for your incredible work. Well, I hate to say I told you so....But yeah "I told you they had no proof. They are only trying to extort money from AEG".

I never thought I would support AEG, but in this case, they are being taken advantage of by the Jack$on$. I am really looking forward to Randy, Janet, Rebbie & Karen Faye being deposed. Who would have thought AEG would be the ones exposing that family's shadiness.

Same here, Memefan same here. I for one can't wait for this drama to unfold publicly.
Michael will be what? Talked about for a few days in the media? But there's nothing that hasn't been said about him, this scheme can't hurt/cause damage, this is going to hurt the Jackson's way more than Michael, the embarassment will be on their side.

If Mrs. Jackson and Company don't comply with AEG's various request in a timely manner, OR ever, can there even be a case going forward?

Because as it would appear, AEG is ready to move forward, but the folks who brought the case in the first place or not prepared to go forward.

Maybe ivy can break it down for us.

They sure ain't. I guess they never thought they'd throw up a fight, they probably hoped for a settlement, but AEG ain't dumb they don't wanna be branded.

As big apple says, aeg aren't playing! Sounds like a threat to me.

Thanks ivy for all the summaries.

Highly doubt her ''children'' are going to let her throw in the towel, it's not like they care, if they did they wouldn't have instigated this mess. Nor called him a wiped out junkie in denial. 3 years of watching the Jackson's behavior has taught me one thing, their only care is money, anything for money. They'll do and say anything for money, if Michael gets crucified in the process so be it. Protecting Michael name/rep/image is the least thing on their mind.
I'm sure some here reading will think I'm too harsh on them, but just wait and watch 6 months or a 1 year from now, even those who disagree will have to change their opinions, as they usually do, coming back to say ''I never thought they'd sink so low too...'' or ''I have to admit I am disappointed .. ''
I've seen numerous people at first standing up for the Jackson's, or giving them the benefit of a doubt, only later to come back and backtrack their prior statements.

I for one want each of them crucified and ripped apart, people have said EVERYTHING there is about Michael Jackson, he's been called every name, everything was questioned, twisted, sensationalized. At worst what can they do? Question his mental sanity? It's already been questioned, call him a drug addict? they've been calling him just that for the past 3 years. They've taken every credit there is away ffrom him, they've already called him a mindless, drugged up puppet, with no willpower, or brain of himself.
There is no name on earth they can call him that he hasn't been called either by them or others. Michael (his likeness) survived and overcame everything else in the past, he will overcome this as well.

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

- Taunya Zilkie was to be deposed last week. (Taunya is the ex-girlfriend of Randy Jackson, ran MJSource and management of Karen Faye)

Why they need to depose her? She was to be deposed as Fay's current manager or as Michael's ex-manager or pr-person (I don't remember her employment) ?

 

[Prometheus77]

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

I am just so upset because all of this could've been stopped.. Somewhere along the way folks saw a change in MJ's appearance and behavior right after the shows were announced. Some even say his speech was slowed and slurred and he was losing tremendous amounts of weight and was going to Klein's office a lot and had Dr Murray coming over at night. Why didn't anyone say something?

Because it's not that easy (What should anyone have said? And to whom?), because no one had a crystal ball and knew what was going to happen. It's always easy to wisecrack after something has happened and ask "why didn't they do this, why didn't they do that?". All of us knew that he went to the doctor every week and other than the oversensitive people, who treat Michael like a baby and live in fairy land, no one thought anything was wrong. Being stressed out and getting thinner while prepping a tour is not really that alarming.

Also what Elusive said.

Ortega's testimony and email to Phillips was just painful to listen to.. It seems MJ was in a bad way for a minute and there was absolutely no one that cared or did anything to help him. Why is Katherine upset with AEG or Kenny Ortega? what else did she have to do besides to check in on Mike to see how he was doing? if she can file this lawsuit and fight for money she could've easily checked on her son's health and well-being considering she was well aware he was about to embark on a 50 date tour.. All of this occurred on father's day.. Did anyone in MJ's lovely family call to wish him a Happy Father's Day that day?

And for the people blaming the family again (the easy target), Michael was his own man, had his own life and business away from the family. It was not their job to interfere in his business dealings, especially when he didn't want them to do that. Like I said before, no one knew what was going to happen and what really was going on.

Geez, and why exactly should anyone in the family call him for father's day?? Ever male Jackson in that family is a father. Why should one brother or mother congratulate another for being a father? The only ones, who should do that are his children.

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

I read all the documents. I don't think AEG plans to settle. It's obvious that AEG believes there's no legal or factual base for these claims. Unless Jackson's can find evidence from non- AEG sources, I don't think AEG's position would change.

It's been obvious for sometimes that this case is a farce. I would not be surprised that AEG counter-sue at some point for malicious prosecution since KJ is unable to supply even the most basic facts about her claims.

 

[marebear]

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

I don't think Michael will be hurt by this. It will be his family and I think people will see what Michael had to deal with and hopefully all he did for them. They have to answer honestly and they have to be specific. Not what they have been doing on tv interviews. I would like to know dates and times that they avoid answering. AEG will play hard as they should. We are talking about a lot of money and there is no way they would just settle. I saw in the trial that they do not want to be held responsible in any way what happened to Michael. They made it clear that they did not want Murray in the first place. To me they are guilty if they knew what Murray was doing and ignored it. It seems they didn't know.

huh?

Siblings call each other on father & mother's day? At least in my family we do....nothing strange w/ that. The Cascios spoke to him that day.

The family should take the blame for 90+% of everything that went bad in MJ's life. They were a nuisance.

I agree with Marebear, I don't think MJ's name will hurt from the truth finally coming out. The Jacksons have far more to lose than MJ.... They have already assisted in dragging his name in the mud for over a decade...time for some much needed repair. The irony is AEG will assist in unmasking the Jack$on$.

 

[CaptainEoLove85]

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

The Jacksons sure have gotten themselves into a hot mess haven't they? Well, they asked for it. I don't see them easily pulling out of this one either, if AEG decides to sue them for not handing over evidence and wasting their time. I hope the Jacksons are happy now. They're about to be exposed

Still doesn't make sense. Siblings are not the father's of their siblings. So there is nothing strange with the family not calling up.

The family should take the blame for 90+% of everything that went bad in MJ's life. They were a nuisance.

Aha... yeah, right! Geez. Quite to the contrary. One could argue that if Michael had kept closer to his family, all the leeches would have had a much harder time creeping up to him.

 

[shelly_webster]

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

Update : April 17 , 2012

Not surprisingly Katherine Jackson's lawyers have filed opposition documents to AEG's motion asking the judge to order Katherine Jackson to answer interrogatories, document requests and deposition.

Main points :
- Katherine's lawyers argue that AEG's motion is unnecessary because Katherine already agreed to be deposed on April 17, 2012 (which was today).
- No one from AEG has been deposed to this date as well.

- Katherine (and Prince, Paris, Blanket) will submit supplemental responses to the interrogatories before April 24 (hearing date).
- Katherine (and Prince, Paris, Blanket) do not have any documents in regards to most of the requests and if they have anything they would provide them to AEG before April 24 (hearing date).

- Katherine's lawyers argue that AEG cannot complain about the responses Katherine already sent them. (If you remember AEG argued that Katherine responded by sending the same answer copied pasted to multiple questions. AEG argues this is non-responsive.) Katherine's lawyers argue that Katherine's responses are proper and even objections can be sent as a response.
- Katherine's lawyers state "just because AEG Live doesn't like Mrs. Jackson's response, it's not entitled to a court order mandating that she change it"
- They state as some of the questions are about to find out Katherine's legal theories in this case, objections to such questions saying that they are protected "work products" or "attorney-client privilege" is proper.

The document reads

"The plaintiffs (Katherine and PPB) did not, at the time of filling of the complaint nor currently possess the full body of evidence of this misconduct. Rather, plaintiffs suspected (correctly) that this evidence would emerge in discovery and indeed it has."

Furthermore they state

"The most evidence of Defendants (AEG) wrongdoing is in Defendants (AEG) possession"

In other words Katherine's lawyer say that they still do not have the full evidence but they are uncovering evidence from the documents / answers sent to them from AEG. They also argue that AEG have the answers / documents / evidence in their possession.

They cite some examples of this evidence.

- First is a June 2009 email from Gongaware which states " We want to remind him (Murray) that it is AEG, not MJ who is paying his salary. We want him (Murray) to understand what is expected of him (Murray)".
- It's stated that Michael missed / did not attend rehearsals on June 13 based on Murray's direction (which resulted in the above email). It's alleged that the next day Gongaware called for a meeting with Murray asking him to explain why Michael missed a rehearsal. It's stated that after AEG's reminder (that they are paying Murray) and Murray's job was to get Michael to rehearsals, Murray started creating a schedule for Michael so Michael would not miss rehearsals.
- There's a mention that Gongaware and Phillips was advised on June 19 that Michael was a "basket case". (no other details are provided)
- It's also stated that on June 20 meeting Murray guaranteed he would resolve the situation with Michael missing the rehearsals.
- KJ's lawyers argue that either implicitly or explicitly AEG was requiring Michael to treat with Murray and work with Murray to get to rehearsals.
- KJ's lawyers also argue that AEG / Phillips has supervised Murray as he asked him to look into Klein's treatment of Michael.
- The documents also state that Murray's goal was not health and well-being of his patient MJ but Murray's object was to ensure that Michael attended rehearsals as AEG wanted.

Tidbit : From the documents we also learned that Katherine's lawyers served Paul Gongaware with a notice of videotaped deposition on September 28,2011 after he testified in Murray trial. AEG's lawyers rejected the deposition request citing that Gongaware was still "subject to be recalled as witness" on the criminal trial.

So Michael's family are somehow responsible for the false allegations against Michael, the Bashir set up, the problems with Sony regarding Invincible etc? Even though they had little to do with him at that time? Because they were a "nuisance" they somehow caused those things to happen? Is that really the level fans are sinking to now? Just blame them for everything?

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

A question ivy. you wrote the bit about a summary deposition above. Am i reading it wrong but do you mean a summary judgement? if the jacksons keep stalling. can u explain the wording. thanks

re tunya being deposed as a third party witness. wasnt she supp with randy when he crashed into mjs gates. great to see AEG going after the jacksons. they certainly arent holding back and with threats of a counter suit it would be the ultimate karma.the family better have a meeting to get all their stories straight and hope mj was in the state or counter when they pick their dates.janets comments sum up her respect and opinion of her brother. i beat she thinks he bought the elephants mans bones aswell

mjs family were part of the leeches and the ppl who took advantage of him so why would surrounding yourself with one set of leeches protect you from another.theres a reason why mj spent his entire adult life attaching himself to random families looking for something he wasnt getting from his own. unconditional love and respect.

what will be intresting to see if the family are prepared to comit perjury. but even if they do theres no real comeback as they can pretty much say anything.as mj cant defend himself although even bain and the security did call them out on the interventions. be intresting to hear who it all goes back to although we already have the answer to that. every answer will be randy told me.

Re: Katherine & MJ's kids sue AEG / Trial date set Sept. 10, 2012

No, they didn't cause those things but when he needed support why did his father and brothers keep pestering him to do shows when it was the last thing on his mind? Then he had financial issues of his own and to take care of the family as well. Michael loved family so something caused him to keep a distance and seek something from other families like the Cascios etc. All I know is that if they are going to sue AEG then they better be able to answer the questions and give their proof of what their claim is.
