\"Michael<\/p>\n

Hi:<\/p>\n

We have received a number of inquiries from the community regarding the most recent Stacy Brown story. \u00a0As many of you are aware, the Estate generally prefers not to legitimatise the lies and rumours spread in the media or\u00a0expand the coverage by other media of those stories. \u00a0However, \u00a0the Estate has asked that we\u00a0share with you the following statement\u00a0that\u00a0was issued by Howard Weitzman, attorney for the Estate of Michael Jackson, in a\u00a0response to a request for comment yesterday:<\/p>\n

“We are aware of recent false “reports” regarding Michael Jackson having, among other things, paid over $200 million to 20 “victims.” \u00a0There is not a shred of evidence to support these ludicrous\u00a0“reports.” \u00a0It is unfortunate that, even in death, Michael cannot be free of these types of allegations, but we are confident that the truth will prevail in the end, just as it did in 2005 when a jury fully\u00a0exonerated him.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0
\nThe Estate is steadfast in its defence of Michael in courts and that will not change regardless of what lies and rumours are spread by journalists with their own agendas.
