John Landis Joins List Of Jackson Estate Lawsuits
Representing the Michael Jackson estate in legal matters is more than a Thriller. It’s gotta be a full time job and then some.

John Landis, who famously directed the Thriller video, producer George Folsey Jr. and a production company filed claims against the estate yesterday. They say MJ stiffed them out of more than $2.4 million in profits related to the video.
And, this isn’t it.
Just this week alone, Leonard Rowe (Jackson’s self-proclaimed manager) filed a claim for $51,218 in alleged unreimbursed expenses, and Dr. Arnie Klein filed for $48, 522.89 for alleged unpaid medical treatments.
And, they join a long list of others seeking money from the estate. MJ’s former lawyers, security guards, and hairstylist have filed separate lawsuits, alleging that MJ owed them a combined total of more than $800,000 in unpaid fees.
Please raise your hand if you don’t have a claim against the Jackson estate.
It never ends. I can not believe that Landis of all people is going after money for something that happened more than 20 years ago. Secondly, Karen Fay who talked openly during the documentary about how much she loved Michael and what a beautiful man and generous friend he has been to her is now jumping on the MJ estate…It is unbelievable that people who claimed to love him and be friends of his are now in the same category as the leeches and vampires, trying to suck money from his estate and drag his name through the dirt. As far as I’m concerned, if they wanted their money that badly they should’ve filed suit against him when he was alive…not join the ranks of users after his death. With friends like this…
