Michael Jackson’s publicist and general manager has filed a 44-million-dollar lawsuit against the pop star, claiming he has not paid her for deals she made.
Raymone Bain of Washington has been Jackson’s spokeswoman for more than five years, speaking on his behalf in all sorts of matters including his child molestation trial.
Three years ago, Jackson expanded her role by appointing her the head of the Michael Jackson Co Inc and his personal general manager.
In her lawsuit filed Tuesday in US District Court in Washington, Bain said Jackson agreed to pay her 10 per cent of any agreements that she handled.
She said he didn’t pay her for negotiating the release of a CD to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his Thriller album, refinancing his loan to keep the Beatles’ song catalog, and negotiations that led to the upcoming sold-out concert series at the O2 Arena in London.
Bain is the latest in a string of former Jackson associates who have sued him claiming he didn’t pay for their services.
“Despite the action I have been compelled to take for professional and business reasons, when looking back, I have no regrets,” Bain said in a statement. “Michael Jackson, in my opinion, is the ‘King of Pop.’”
