Paris Jackson’s nasty $600M battle over dad Michael Jackson’s fortune takes shocking new turn
Page Six • • entertainment
Key Points:
- A Los Angeles judge ruled that John Branca, executor of Michael Jackson’s estate, can keep certain financial details about attorney fees, legal costs, and estate accounting confidential amid ongoing litigation.
- The judge determined that public disclosure of this information could prejudice the estate’s interests in pending litigation, negotiations, and business matters, granting Branca’s motions to seal these court filings.
- Paris Jackson recently accused Branca of withholding her and her brothers' inheritance and criticized his control over the estate’s funds, claiming the family trust remains unfunded 17 years after Michael Jackson’s death.
- The estate disputes Paris’s allegations, stating that over $200 million has been distributed for the children’s benefit and that unresolved legal issues, including an IRS dispute, have delayed trust funding.
- Paris’s petition demanding the transfer of $600 million into the family trust is set for a court hearing on December 3.
