Paris Jackson has said that the executors of her late father, Michael Jackson’s estate are using the King of Pop’s funds to publicly attack her amid the legal battle regarding his billion-dollar estate.
The 28-year-old actress is a beneficiary of Michael Jackson’s estate, which is currently valued at over $2 billion, alongside her brothers Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24.
Nevertheless, Paris expressed her concerns last July about the alleged mismanagement of Jackson’s finances by executors John Branca and John McClain after she reportedly observed irregular payments.
Paris Jackson later on accused the attorneys of “skimming money” from her father’s estate amid the legal battle.
However, Branca and McClain have denied all accusations made against them.
Following several months of court hearings and exchanges between the two parties, the co-executors recently presented an 83-page status report once again dismissing Paris’s allegations, which led to her latest filing on April 6, where she accused them of attempting to destroy her reputation in public.
“This overlitigation is waste,” Paris’s filing stated, as per court documents reviewed by The Independent. “At nearly every hearing… Executors try to avoid the merits by characterising Paris’s concerns as lawyer-driven or in service of some purported desire for media attention. Neither is true.”
