NEWS: Katherine Jackson Sues AEG Over Michael Jackson’s Death


According to TMZ Katherine Jackson, mother of the late King of Pop, is suing AEG (the company who was putting on Jackson’s come back tour), claiming the contact with Michael “created a legal duty for AEG to act reasonably toward the physical well-being of Michael Jackson”. In the document, Katherine also blames the tour company for hiring Dr. Murray without a proper background check, stating “AEG did not provide a doctor who was truly looking out for Jackson’s well-being and did not provide equipment”.

The suit also blames AEG for the “emotional distress” to Michael’s son Prince because he witnessed Michael suffering and dying and that “he was put in a position as bystander to these tragic events”.
‘This Is Is’ director Kenny Ortega is named as a defendant.

As much as I would love to say ‘why can’t every just allow this man to rest in peace’, I can’t help but think that if this was my family and my mother thought that my death could have been avoided – I know, without a shadow of a doubt, she would do the very same. It’s clear Katherine is not after money – Michael’s estate is healthier than it ever has been – she and MJ’s kids are well taken care of. This is about justice and a mother’s need/right to defend her son and family.

We’ll keep you updated.
