?All these lawyers that are involved in Michael?s business since he passed ? and there?s a lot of them ? I think they?re trying to create different lawsuits because they?re greedy and they want to get paid,? she tells TMZ.
As one example the Estate?s legal reps are suing Katherine?s business partner, Howard Mann for allegedly profiting from Jackson?s name and image without their permission, and Katherine takes that claim personally.
?When they?re suing Howard Mann, they?re suing me,? she recently told ABC News.
In the lawsuit, filed last Thursday, the Estate claims Howard violated copyright, trademark and piracy laws by selling numerous items relating to Jackson, most of which included unlicensed images.
It does not even name Katherine as a defendant.
?We had hoped Mr. Mann would voluntarily cease, but that was not to be,? explains Estate lawyer Howard Weitzman. ?People who trade off Michael?s personality, copyrights and trademarks should not be allowed to exploit the legacy of one of the world?s most recognized talents for their own benefit.?
Meantime the war of silence between Katherine and Dr. Conrad Murray, the man accused of contributing to her son?s death, is still in effect. Dr. Murray was arraigned in an LA court yesterday on one count of involuntary manslaughter. And while Mamma Jackson says she ?can?t stand? him, she attends all the hearings because she loved her late son.
The 57-year old doctor pleaded not guilty to the charge and the case was adjourned. His medical license is already suspended, and if he?s found guilty he would lose it completely and could also spend up to four years in jail.
Since his death, sales of Jackson?s music and related mementos has been astounding. Do you think Katherine?s right about her legal team? And if so, what should she do??
