Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

I think in the trial it was shown that people were concerned what was going on with Michael. It was talked about missed rehearsals and such. I think that his last rehearsals were real and they showed Michael could still do it. I don't think it will take away what people saw in This is It. Those moments we saw were Michael. We just didn't know what he was dealing with and what Murray was doing. Murray is responsible for Michael's death. Unless there is something that shows AEG knew what Murray was doing then I don't see them responsible. Do I like those emails? Hell no. I don't like the fact that Michael isn't here to defend himself.
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

I'm not convinced that the jacksons are going to come off worse than mj is from this trial - we all know what target the media is going to concentrate on, and in any case regarding public perceptions, more people believe the earth is flat than the jacksons = the waltons so there's not going to be much shock there.

I just think the trial is going to destroy the one positive narrative which happened after 25 june. I felt the this is it film released after mj's death was a huge pr triumph, it reminded the world what a consummate professional mj was in how he was involved in all aspects of the production and how his dancing was as effortless as ever and the whole film displayed his charisma. TII cd be presented as a massive confirmation of mj's star power and how he was still the biggest attraction in the pop world despite being written off by the media. But i just think this trial cd destroy this last image of him - preparing for a triumphant comeback as glimpsed in the biggest grossing documentary of all time - and instead paint him as a washed-up, paralysed mess whose professional life was over. Which image do you think mj, so proud and so conscious of his mythology, would want to project to the public for his last days? We know what killed mj from the murray trial, this trial is unwinnable so there's no purpose to it except as this opportunity for the media to destroy the notion that mj at the end of his life could perform a comeback. It's shameful that no one seems to be making these arguments to mrs j.

I agree so much with what you wrote. Thank you!!! TII is the most successful music documentary ever, and many were blown away by Michael in the rehearsals--also his caring words to the team and the recorded messages that would have been part of the show, like the spoken intro to Earth Song. I hope this will not take away from that.

The big thing to keep in mind is Murray has already been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, so the culpability has already been established as his. It would seem that the Jackson's are trying to say AEG contributed, but how can they prove that if Murray, as Phillips says, is the doctor whose advice they were following and also that MJ performed well in the =2 days before his death (b/c Murray finally took him off the nighly propofol). When you think that Murray was asking to be paid one million, not 150,00 per month, when he writes about the mattresses better be good, etc, you can tell he is so out of touch with reality that I think he is actually insane. Nevertheless, from AEG's pt of view, they thought Murray was a reputable doctor and they followed his advice.

I do wish Phillips had listened to Ortega more, of course!! Maybe that would have pried MJ away from Murray's grip on him and gotten him the help he needed for his insomnia, anxiety. I read Dileo was at the meeting on the 20th--seems like he just sat there and didn't take a position. As MJ's manager he needed to be more forceful in protecting MJ. Nobody seemed to want to find out why was Murray there and what was he actually doing to Michael. They seemed to assume they had a nervous, basket case star who needed to be coddled. We need more emails to know the facts. On the other hand, the judge needs to step in and speak out about these leaks.

True, and the reason why we had less Media lies with the Muarry trial, was because the reporters knew the trial was televised, so people who looked could compare what reporters said and what was shown on TV. It was that situation that caused them to be more truthful and cautious in their discussions.

Look at how the emails are printed in the paper without any reporter, most of whom were at the trial, commenting that Michael's behavior most likely had something to do with muarry's treatment. The mere fact they are not doing so, shows they are back to their old ways as usual-- giving half-truths and presenting information that fits a preconceived view of Michael. Also, money and power talks. Remember when the family had the granny snatching incident, many media outlets had something to say about the Jacksons' behavior, especially Janet's. They were critical!!! Now tell me why we do not see these same media outlets write critical pieces/blogs about AEG's behavior!!! Oh no, they are being more cautious. They are not going to spread negative comments about the big AEG before the trial.

And people think the media is unbiased and truthful...
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

AEG paid Michaels rent and bills if Im not mistaken. Had no idea they were paying his staff wages too.. So I guess they had the right to fire/hire since the money came from them...

Thats werid cuz i always assumed michael was the one to deal with that stuff
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

The media have put the public in some sort of trance and its disgusting the way they do it. Its their dirty greedy love of money thats makes them do it and they dont care bout the conqunces

True. Still no buzz from the snatchers and grandma. I wonder if the kids know about these latest events and how they feel about this. This family never thinks about the children, and they do not care what the public thinks about their behaviors either.

Randy Jackson (randyjackson8) on Twitter

Today was a good day.

I know im quiet, I dont tweet much.
...
Last year I promised that I would not rest until the truth is exposed
about what happened to my brothers passing. May he rest in peace.

I am doing my best to keep that promise. On this day my family has filed
a wrongful death lawsuit against AEG. I am proud of my family.

What happened to my loving brother should NOT have happened. I really miss him.
Please understand its not over, we have a long way to go. There is more to come. We are just getting started.

This could not have been done without the support of the fans. Were all
together in this.Thank you for your continued support and patience.

I'm sure this means more leaked e-mail to come.
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

^^Sometimes you get a handful among the group that you could admire.

We have said this before, but the legislature needs to come up with a plan to deal with citizens who breach stipulations set by the court. If someone who opens the FBI computer system and discloses their correspondence is arrested, the same treatment should be given to any person who takes illegal control of court documents and discloses them to the public. If we get in trouble for having stolen property, how come the press do not get into trouble for having stolen property. Why does the press get away with so much and hide behind the law? I thought that when you are engage in freedom of speech, if you commit an unlawful act, then you get penalized for it, so having documents exposed that the court stipulates should be sealed and private, needs to be made an unlawful act. In that way papers would not be able to disclose such documents in the future. What has been happening lately is that people are making up/stealing information and giving to the press, and the press is printing them knowing their true content, and not getting penalized for it.

Voctory Randy appeared!!!!! I see he read that we were saying he was quiet, so he had to comment on that. Again with the more to come message. How does he mean on this day my family has filed a wrongful death case? Is he talking about today. I thought they filed that case before, unless Randy is in a twilight zone.

Hey Randy how come you did not give a lot of lies about AEG to your reporter friend in Chicago, like you did about Prince and Paris. How come you are not printing lies about AEG daily in X17. Chicken, eh Randy. Oh please tell us when more is to come. Will all the more to come happen on the same day Randy? I mean the more to come about the will, Michael's killers, and Branca's theft? I need to know so I can mark my calendar.

Randy after the more to come has come, will you be put in jail? Randy after the AEG case, when grandma has to pay the attorney's fees and you do not get a dime, will you go to work then?

That Randy's tweet is from September 2010!

I read some Randy's twitter and found these 2, felt like puke. Hypocrisy at its best:doh:
------------------------
Randy Jackson ?@randyjackson8
AEG, Sony were very quick to the draw... Just days after his passing. As gruesome as it sounds. It seemed like vultures at a feeding frenzy.

2 Jul 11 Randy Jackson ?@randyjackson8
I was particularly disheartened at the hastiness of the executors to close deals before I could give my brother a proper burial.
-------------------
I guess it's ok for family start doing business immediately after Michael's death, but not for the men that are left in charge for Michael's estate.
Silly me, I thought it was supposed to be the other way round, family takes care of grief and executors business, but with Jacksons it is wrong way.

By scanning Randy's tweets, it is clear to me that he has no idea of Michael's business or what he did.
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

Alan Duke was/is fair. He's a good guy, not at all sensationalist or anything. He's one of the few I legitimately trust.

Fair and trustworthy reporters in my opinion are Alan Duke, (although he is supposed to be close to Katherine), Linda D and Anthony McCartney from AP.

Mr. Alan Duke might be polite with Mrs. Jackson, but that definitely does not prevent him from reporting the facts as they are. I trust him wholeheartedly, and I can personally vouch that he's a good person and has good character/integrity.

I admire the man, he's really a very decent human being. When you think about it, he could totally go the route the others go and prey on people's penchant for drama, but he doesn't--he really does stick with the facts and won't report unless he can prove what he's reporting to be factual. I have nothing but respect for the guy, he's really legit, trustworthy, and fair.
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

Thanks Bubs for the information that the tweet was from 2010. I was wondering why this guy was talking about filing the case. So it seems now that they are still quiet. I wish they had remained this way since 09.

Anthony McCartney is the most neutral reporter. I have never seen him take sides.

Alan Duke is Jackson family friendly. In this instance he run the Mann story without talking to AEG, edited his story the next day and still referring to the emails.

Linda D surprised me during Katherine event and reporting rumors on the media.

Yeah man, I, personally don't trust Alan Duke. Not that much anyway. He will continue to get the side-eye from me. LOL!

In my opinion, he plays "nice" with the Jacksons so that he can have access to Michael's 3-children. I remember when he covered the brothers when they signed those Michael Jackson themed jackets. NO WAY Duke would have covered that non-event, if Prince wasn't in attendance. He gushed and gushed over Prince, hardly reporting anything about the brothers.

"Linda D surprised me during Katherine event and reporting rumors on the media."

What did she said?
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

All these 'reporters' are really poor, they all seem to be partial to whoever their source is and seem to just present the side of the story they are being fed without any analysis. Presumably if they appear to be negative and question 'the story' they know they will lose their source. I also include roger friedman and jan heger from radaronline, as being like that. I find far better analysis on this forum.

Bonnie I have to say that we really do have some good analyses on this forum. I think our strength is that members come from a large range of professions and educational levels, so that there is always someone here who knows about the topic. Also, some here are very analytical, which is a good thing. Funny you add Friedman to that list, since no such list will be complete without him.

I guess reporters want to keep their source, so they can get more stuff to print. If all their sources dry up, they may have to research their information in an ethical manner, and we all know that is too much work!!!

Well, I've gotten to know Alan Duke, and I trust him. He's a great guy. Yes, he's polite with the Jacksons, but he's not partial to anyone. As for the story re: AEG, he just reported on what Mann said--he didn't say he supported him or anything.

We can be a bit critical of the media and sensitive as fans, but still, I know for a fact Mr. Duke is a respectable guy.

AEG Attorney Fires Back Over Michael Jackson Emails: 'Nobody Is Telling the Story Properly'


September 11, 2012 | By Ray Waddell, Nashville

[A series of controversial leaked e-mails related to Michael Jackson's doomed "This Is It" residency in London -- involving promoter AEG Live president Randy Phillips, Concerts West co-president Paul Gongaware, and "This Is It" director Kenny Ortega -- have spurred much industry discussion and more than a little confusion. The e-mails -- which detail an intense back-and-forth between producers and Jackson's camp, addressing his at times unsteady condition at rehearsals and concern about his ability to pull off 50 shows -- were first published in the Los Angeles Times last week in an article AEG attorney Marvin Putman calls "misleading and inaccurate."
[/SIZE]

The residency was to have begun in July of 2009 at London's O2 Arena, with more than $85 million worth of tickets already sold when Jackson died on June 25. As expected, the legal wrangling around the shows have continued, now three years after Jackson's death. A wrongful-death lawsuit was filed by Jackson's mother Katherine and his three children against AEG, saying the producers should be held liable for Jackson's death, not only because of the toll the rehearsals took on the 50-year-old pop star, but also because AEG hired Dr. Conrad Murray, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death.

In a development Putnam says is unrelated to the release of the e-mails, word came yesterday that AEG had dropped its $17.5 million insurance claim covering the performances.

"We said from the very beginning that any money should be paid to the estate, not to us, and we told them definitively in June that we're not claiming any losses here, i.e, we've recouped any losses," says Putnam. AEG shared in revenue from the "This Is It" film, DVD and CD, and also recouped from other sources, including merchandise and tickets that were never refunded. "So that lawsuit really doesn't have anything to do with us. It's totally moot to us and has been for years, but it's not moot to the estate, obviously."

Regarding what was leaked to the Times, Putnam says the e-mails were clearly linked to discovery on the Katherine Jackson case, not the insurance case. "When discovery started in earnest in the insurance case in May, we let them know by June that we were no longer pursuing the claim because we'd now been made whole," says Putnam.

The e-mails came from documents that "only Katherine Jackson and her attorneys had access to; we gave them to them and only them," says Putnam. "And somebody, I don't know who, seems to have told the L.A. Times [those documents] were [related to] the insurance case, but they didn't realize the documents in the Katherine Jackson case are not all the same as the documents in the insurance case. I was very quickly able to ascertain those are all from the Katherine Jackson case."

Putnam says that "Howard Mann- a longtime business partner of the Jackson family- suddenly came forward to announce that he leaked the confidential documents to the press. It's convenient that Howard Mann came forward in this fashion. Like the many who have already commented on the ridiculous statement that Mr. Mann somehow acted alone, we too believe this is impossible. In fact, we know it. As we said in our motion to the Court asking that there be an investigation into this violation, we know that only Katherine Jackson and her attorneys had the set of documents impermissibly leaked to the Los Angeles Times."
A lawyer for Katherine Jackson, Kevin Boyle, told CNN that Mann's admission that he was the source of the e-mails should settle the matter. "He (Mann) definitely never received any documents from Katherine, Prince, Paris, or Blanket Jackson, nor from their lawyers in the wrongful death suit against AEG," he said. "AEG made these accusations against the Jackson family and their lawyers apparently without doing even the most rudimentary investigation."

(Mann, a memorabilia dealer who operated websites using Jackson's image, and the singer's estate reached a $2.5 million copyright settlement last week. Mann was found liable for infringing Jackson's intellectual property in a court ruling in August.)

Even so, Putnam says the Times story supports AEG's case. "The story acknowledges, for instance, that Dr. Conrad Murray was Michael Jackson's long-term physician, and that it was Michael Jackson who demanded to bring him on tour," he says. "The story also acknowledges that no agreement with Dr. Murray was ever signed, and that Dr. Murray was never paid by AEG."

Whatever their context or source, the e-mails seem to tell the story of a producer trying to make sure a big show with huge upfront costs comes off. "Nobody is telling the story properly," says Putnam. "Let's take what they've leaked: the night before his return to the world stage after 10 years, he goes out and gets drunk," referring an email Phillips purportedly wrote stating that Jackson was "drunk and despondent" the night before a March 2009 press conference announcing the "This Is It" dates. "He's a 50 year-old man with a reputation for being nervous, I don't think anybody's going to find that surprising."

Other e-mails between Phillips and Ortega show the latter expressing major concerns about Jackson's condition at rehearsal. According to Putnam, those particular e-mails show only "that during one rehearsal on one night about a month before it's going to open in London, [Jackson is] in bad shape. We then call the doctor, who says basically, 'Stay out of my purview'; we don't take that under face value, we go in meetings with Michael the next day, he's clear, he's lucid."

It should be noted that performance contracts are not a one-way street; AEG had to hold up their end of the bargain, as well. "After one night of a bad rehearsal a month in advance, [as producers] we can't pull out, that would be breach of contract," says Putnam. "Moreover, his next two performances at rehearsals were brilliant."

Putnam also points out the absence of any mention of drug abuse by Jackson in the e-mails. "None of this stuff that was released has anything to do with Propofol -- and let's remember what killed him," Putnam says. "He died from acute Propofol overdose, and none of this stuff is about that, there's no connection here."

As to why he believes the e-mails were leaked in the first place, Putnam says, "They're afraid, rightly, that they have no legal case. They're trying mix things up out there in the world for public opinion, [and] the jury pool. But what a jury might find upsetting is very different from whether or not there is a legal claim, and this is a legal claim here."

Putnam would not describe the interview as damage control. "This is a real and proper sense of outrage at the idea that a court order has been violated and selective documents have been released to the public," he says. "That is never supposed to happen."

The attorney also believes that Phillips and AEG have been wrongly portrayed. "To have Randy or anybody at AEG painted as in some way not being talent-friendly or is mistreating talent or whatnot, I think it places a false responsibility on Randy and AEG," he says. "Our job is to go out and promote and present concerts. That's what we do. We're not talent managers, there's a lot of things we're not, and what we're certainly not are medical professionals. We don't have a society where people are expected to intervene in other people's personal lives, nor should we have such a thing."

Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

^^^ I needed a magnifying class to read the text:)

"The e-mails came from documents that "only Katherine Jackson and her attorneys had access to; we gave them to them and only them," says Putnam. "And somebody, I don't know who, seems to have told the L.A. Times [those documents] were [related to] the insurance case, but they didn't realize the documents in the Katherine Jackson case are not all the same as the documents in the insurance case. I was very quickly able to ascertain those are all from the Katherine Jackson case."

and no one told Jackson's about closed case between AEG and Lloyds:)
I wonder how much the judge punish Katherine's side for leak?

"Whatever their context or source, the e-mails seem to tell the story of a producer trying to make sure a big show with huge upfront costs comes off. "Nobody is telling the story properly," says Putnam. "Let's take what they've leaked: the night before his return to the world stage after 10 years, he goes out and gets drunk," referring an email Phillips purportedly wrote stating that Jackson was "drunk and despondent" the night before a March 2009 press conference announcing the "This Is It" dates. "He's a 50 year-old man with a reputation for being nervous, I don't think anybody's going to find that surprising."

I have to agree with them. If MJ was drunk, I find it understandable taken into account everything what happen to Michael.

"It should be noted that performance contracts are not a one-way street; AEG had to hold up their end of the bargain, as well. "After one night of a bad rehearsal a month in advance, [as producers] we can't pull out, that would be breach of contract," says Putnam. "Moreover, his next two performances at rehearsals were brilliant." "

I somewhat agree with that one too.

"Putnam also points out the absence of any mention of drug abuse by Jackson in the e-mails. "None of this stuff that was released has anything to do with Propofol -- and let's remember what killed him," Putnam says. "He died from acute Propofol overdose, and none of this stuff is about that, there's no connection here."'

Plain and simple. Jackson's are trying to undo the Murray trial and put the blame on AEG.

"The attorney also believes that Phillips and AEG have been wrongly portrayed. "To have Randy or anybody at AEG painted as in some way not being talent-friendly or is mistreating talent or whatnot, I think it places a false responsibility on Randy and AEG," he says. "Our job is to go out and promote and present concerts. That's what we do. We're not talent managers, there's a lot of things we're not, and what we're certainly not are medical professionals. We don't have a society where people are expected to intervene in other people's personal lives, nor should we have such a thing.""

Above paragraph in my opinion is the most important of all what they say. They are no more medical professionals than I am. If the doc tells me everything is ok, then to me, everything is ok. I have no medical experience to suspect otherwise, I suppose it is the same with them.

The last sentence is a good one from Putnam.

I totally agree with you regarding that last sentence.

I mean, if I recall correctly, it was Kenny Ortega who had concerns. Those concerns were relayed to Murray, who in turn basically told Kenny to "mind his own business." So how does a person overcome those words from A DOCTOR who's patient is a 50 year-old man.

Then, if I recall correctly, during that same meeting, Michael said: "he knows they are worried about him, but he's fine." Again, how do you combat those words when they come from an adult. You really can't, in my opinion. All you can do is stand on the sidelines and hope for the best, in my opinion.

Although Kenny Ortega wanted Michael to see a specialist, there was not guarantee that Michael would have agreed to that. I can see Michael now: "you want me to see who!?"
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

I like this Putnam Lawyer for AEG. He basically states what we have saying for a long time and puts the whole thing in context. He says the Jacksons see they have no case, which is why they are leaking this. As Ivy said AEG had no money to recoup so they dropped the insurance case. Michael it seems got drunk one night which is understandable. He was shaky on stage; they spoke to Muarry who said to mind our own business. They feel it is not their business to interfere in the personal lives of artists, which I agree with. Nothing in the e-mails was about prof or drugs. Mann did not act alone, which we all know. Putnam is upset about the emails trying to paint a picture of AEG as mistreating artists. Well that is the only thing in the emails I agree with, because I think the words that Gan--- person used to describe Michael was down right mean and nasty. I know this is business but Randy's tone in the emails was not pleasant either.
 
Re: AEG emails leak / AEG files motion for sanctions against Jacksons / Doubts surfaced early on MJ

^ Yes, i never liked the demeanour of randy philips - he seemed as if he cd be really mean. But the big question in all this is what the hell was thome thome doing - he was the one meant to be protecting mj and looking out for his interests rather than aeg. I can't believe it was a total coincidence that once mj boarded the plane to london to go to the press conference for tii (a week late apparently). thome filed a lawsuit against juliens to get all mj's stuff back from being auctioned. That auction was being publicised for months and all of a sudden it transpired that all the stuff wasn't meant to be sold? I just wonder what type of pressure mj was put under to do this tii contract.

From that article, it appears that the episode of mj being drunk and despondent was the night before the press conf, not on the actual day. i don't think that was clear from the emails.
