Katherine Jackson Caught in HUGE Contradiction About Michael That Could Sink Wrongful Death Claim — See The Proof!
By Jen Heger

Katherine Jackson has been caught in a huge contradiction about her son Michael‘s drug use — a contradiction so big it could sink her $40 billion wrongful death lawsuit against concert promoter AEG, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.

An attorney for Katherine told jurors Monday in opening statements of the Michael Jackson wrongful death trial that the late King of Pop had been addicted to prescription drugs for decades and that Michael’s family knew it and only AEG claims to have been unaware of it.

But RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained a statement signed by the Jackson family matriarch claiming that her son DIDN’T have an addiction to painkillers or alcohol.

And you can see the proof below, as Radar has obtained the signed statement that pokes a huge hole in the argument offered by Katherine’s attorney.

In 2007, nearly two years after Jackson had been acquitted of child molestation charges in Santa Maria, California, and two years before his death, Katherine Jackson, Jermaine, Jackie, Tito and Marlon issued a public statement, signed by all five, declaring Michael didn’t have ANY substance issues.

They all also declared they had never attempted to stage an intervention on Michael. The statement was released after People magazine published a story that the King of Pop was dependent on booze and pills.

It’s a key point because Katherine is suing concert promoter AEG and her attorneys claim everyone knew Michael had painkiller addiction problems — trying to cast doubt on AEG’s claim that it was unaware. Now, suddenly, it seems as if the family’s position has shifted to fit the lawsuit.

The family’s statement, issued on September 7, 2007, says, “People Magazine has followed other publications in reporting untrue and inaccurate information about MIchael Jackson and the Jackson family. Of these wildly reported rumors, what has become the most troubling and heinous, is that my son, and our brother, Michael Jackson, is dependent on painkillers and alcohol. People and other news organizations, have quoted “sources,” indicating that our family has attempted a drug intervention, and engaged in an effort to take over his business affairs, because of this alleged drug and alcohol usage.

“We categorically deny ever planning, participating in, or having knowledge of any kind of intervention, whatsoever,” the statement asserts.

Katherine Jackson’s attorney, Brian Panish, told jurors during opening statements on Monday in the wrongful death trial, that the Thriller singer had an addiction to painkillers, and that concert promoter, AEG failed to to properly investigate Dr. Conrad Murray. Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael.

Over the years Michael’s family and people who knew him believed he had a problem with prescription medication,” Panish told jurors, and that AEG and its executives claim to be the only ones who were unaware of his issues.

Panish revealed to the jury of six men and six women that Jackson had an addiction to prescription drugs, including Demerol, and relied on pain medications after he suffered horrific burns on his head during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984.

The public statement Katherine signed in 2007, “could prove to be very problematic for her when she takes the stand. It could be used to discredit her testimony in front of the jury. Katherine knew for years before he died that Michael had an addiction to Demerol. AEG doesn’t want to rake Katherine over the coals, but she is suing them for $40 billion dollars,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

AEG maintains it did not hire Murray and could not have predicted the events that led to Jackson’s death.

A lawyer for AEG, Marvin Putnam, told jurors during opening statements that there was no way the concert promoter could have known that Jackson was being given Propofol by Dr. Murray.

“That was between doctor and patient and not AEG Live… this case is about taking responsibility for your actions,” Putnam said.

Everyone: This IMO is one of the prime examples of the BS that TT like RadarOnline and Jen Heger (the so called 'reporter') concocts! To say this (see title) is so irresponsible - the letter does NOT say what this idiot writer here says it does. The letter denies that the Jackson Family ever planned intervention to take over MJ's business dealings and finances.

So this story is fueling the knowitall's on MJ sites that believe that whatever they say about everything (that they clearly can't even understand) makes it true! What is does is prove what simpletons they really are and that they can't even comprehend simple articles such as this for the crap it really is-they would rather jump the Jacksons all over again for NOTHING! IT IS SHAMEFUL!

IMO these people bashing the J-fam are NOT MJ fans - period! And they should all get back to elementary school and learn how to READ! Then learn what reading comprehension is and try to DO THAT!

Admin I agree. i don't get it - i've seen tweets from "fans" agreeing with AEG just to go against the Jackson family. That woman lost her child - she's 82 years old, show some respect. For me if I love Michael - I love his family - it's a package deal. I've seen such harsh things writtne about Katherine Jackson - it shocks me.. that's somebody's Mother for petes sake. Michael adores his Mother. And for someone who briefly held this woman's hands and looked in her face and told her "We Love Your Son and We Love You and God Bless You" and to feel her holding my hands and hear her say "thank you thank you" and smile at me... I have nothing but respect for Mrs. Jackson.

I reached out to a few admins asking them to try to tone down the rhetoric. There is no excuse for bashing this J-Fam now (or IMO ever) An opinion is one thing-BUT try having that opinion BASED ON FREAKING FACTS!! Hope my advice to these people works. I cannot tolerate misinformation leading to MJ "fans" frothing at the mouth!

I saw an article on a website that was talking about how fans at another MJ forum where supporting aeg, and saying that they hope the jackson family loses(I could link it if you want) makes me sad that people could be so (stupid?) as to think that way, it's as if they don't know anything about AEG, or michael. Anyway, I don't think stupid is the right word, but I can't think of any others :/

I have reached out to a couple sites admins to offer advice about how they are allowing that to get out of control-I already mentioned this on another thread Smile

This is a Chicago newspaper! Look at this twisted MSM garbage. The couple of comments on this site ugh - see link if you want to see how disgusting! This is SO BS the way they say these things about the Jackson family-and how pro AEG they are! Probably getting paid by them to put this crap out in a major city newspaper! Jackholes!!

Michael Jackson’s mom, siblings fear they may lose lawsuit
By Bill Zwecker

May 2, 2013

There are lots of jitters among members of Michael Jackson’s family this week — serious concerns their mega-million-dollar wrongful death lawsuit against the AEG concert promoters is not going their way.

Family insiders say matriarch Katherine Jackson, who has been leading the charge in the case, and her children — especially Randy, Rebbie, Jackie and Jermaine — now fear they could easily lose the case.

A major coup for the AEG legal team was provided by the revelation by RadarOnline of a damning document contradicting the opening statement by the Jacksons’ lawyer. The attorney made a big point of saying how so many people — including Michael Jackson’s family members — were very much aware of the king of pop’s serious drug addiction problems.

However, back in 2007, after People magazine ran a story claiming Michael’s brothers and mother had staged an intervention to get him into rehab, Katherine Jackson and her other sons denied it. Going further, they then signed an official statement denying they had arranged an intervention and also that Michael had any problems with drugs or alcohol.

A Jackson family source told this column Thursday. “The AEG folks have got to be very happy about this.”
