This could not be true. Now who is going to store a dildo. You can buy them cheap. Mann can put any item he wants in a collection and claim it belonged to XYZ.
yeah...the rumor back then was it was Janet's.
Just like I couldn't believe they'd store underwear. But MJ's was there ...
You can get some underwear and dildo, present it with other items, and say I found it with the items.
obviously Joe & Katherine felt even his dirty underwear had a potential to generate money, and people still claim they are not business savvy . lolJust like I couldn't believe they'd store underwear. But MJ's was there ...

I think this will be Mann's defense (if true) probably however that information is conflicting with TSCM's information.
As we haven't seen that decision mentioned it's harder to have an opinion. (is it only stopping a lawsuit for that website or everything that comes from the parent company? for example).
Perhaps TSCM can help with that.
KAtherine gets a high allowance, everything is paid for by the estate, and no why should there be another arrangement that benefits lazy people?I'm really happy to see the Estate take this action. In addition to the illegal revenue ventures like these generate, they also have an impact on legitmate projects due to the oversaturation of Michael's likeness.
As someone posted earlier, it would be ideal if the family could work with the Estate more to try to come up with some arrangments that would benefit all parties. Surely, there seems to be more than enough money to go around...within reason of course.
Regarding Katherine in particular, I wish that she would petition the Estate/Court for more money if she needs it rather than rely on people such as Mann. Again, there should be more than enough money based on the various revenue streams.
Finally, I found it a bit strange that Mann referred to Katherine as "Miss" Jackson in his response rather than "Mrs"
As long as the estate does not sue a Jackson , such deals would never stop. Joe and the perfume guy, Latoya's new book...etc
The estate is repeating the same mistake MJ committed ;always suing his siblings and parents' partners but removing them as defendants and we all know how that did not stop them , they felt they could always get away with everything.
Ivy, a legal question please, like Murray did in the wrongful death lawsuit can't Mann raise the argument that Katherine is not listed as a defendant?
Can Mann sue Katherine for the money she received after the estate wins this case?
the thought that Mann has legal rights to ANY MJ items scares the hell out of me. I understand why MJ walked away from the lawsuit...but did he fully understand the consequences?

Mann goes on: "...the Estate will fall as a result of these draconian tactics and it is my hope that Miss Jackson regains control of that which was stolen from her."
The judge in the probation of the will granted full rights to the estate to make decisions on MJ's logo, image & likeness & copyright, etc. & that anyone wanting to use any of these things were told they have to go through MJ's estate.
And that's the way it's normally done, i.e. "you must get permission from the Estate, before you do anything."
Howard Mann, similar to the Mayor of Gary, figured if they have MJ's parents on their team, then they don't need the Estate's approval, but as we all know, that ain't how it works.
The theory that: "well they are the parents, they SHOULD have rights too," doesn't fly in a court of law.
I look forward to seeing how this works out. Mr. Mann is about to spend a bunch of money on attorney fees. LOL!
LOL! Joe Jackson would spend a BUNDLE trying to create a record label and Katherine would spend ANOTHER bundle buying multi-million dollars homes and setting up trust funds for all of her children and grandchildren. If the family were in charge, there would be no money left for MJ3, in my opinion.Totally agree... can you just imagine what Katherine and Joe would doing with all of that money if they had control of it?
Howard Mann responds
Mama Jackson's Partner: MJ Estate is a Dictatorship!
Katherine Jackson's business partner who is being sued by the Michael Jackson Estate tells TMZ the Estate is a "fraudulently obtained dictatorship," guarding "a collusive and corrupt status quo."
Howard Mann -- whom the Estate claims in a new lawsuit is violating copyright and trademark laws by cashing in on all things Jackson -- calls the lawsuit "malicious and unfounded."
Mann says, "These lawyers have absolutely NO interest in the preservation of Michael Jackson's legacy and less interest in generating revenues for his beneficiaries.
Mann goes on: "...the Estate will fall as a result of these draconian tactics and it is my hope that Miss Jackson regains control of that which was stolen from her."

That is not the only issue here.
Howard Mann thinks he has the rights to use MJ's name because a judge dismissed MJ's previous copyright case with prejudice.
Meaning MJ could never sue Media pop or whatever the company name is, for copyright infringement because his lawyers walked away from a similar case in 2006 when he was in Bahrain.
This case will not be as easy as we all think....The company Media Pop does have a judgment in their favor. Now the question is, what does that judgment entail.
