MJ Estate to Publicist: You're Not Getting a Cent!
Originally posted 37 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

Michael Jackson's former right-hand woman just tasted a $44,000,000 defeat -- after MJ's estate rejected 2 creditors' claims she filed earlier this year.

(http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/04/19/0419-michael-jackson-raymone-baine-tmz-getty-ex.jpg)

Raymone Bain -- Jackson's longtime publicist/manager/friend -- had filed the docs claiming MJ owed her more than $44 mil in back wages and profit sharing.

But today, MJ's estate finally got back to Bain -- with a big, fat, rejection stamp.

Bain is the latest in a series of creditors' claims to be denied by the estate -- with more denials expected to be on the way shortly.

What is it with all those wanting $$$$$ ? Why didn't they have the balls to claim before June 25?

"But today, MJ's estate finally got back to Bain -- with a big, fat, rejection stamp."  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: Good Souza !

Indeed why all these claims now and not before I mean $ 44 mil is a big amount...and TMZ seems to already know what is coming next. Much more rejections...

The woman who used to speak for Michael Jackson when he got sued ... is now suing him -- joining the long line of people who claim they were stiffed by the King of Pop.

WATCH VIDEO: http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true (http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true) ... 526820c32c

In a statement, Raymone Bain explains, "Mr. Jackson has elected not to honor the financial obligations of our contractual relationship, despite my numerous attempts to amicably resolve this matter. I am sincerely disappointed in Mr. Jackson's failure to honor his obligations."

Bain repped Jackson for many years -- shouldn't she know this is how he rolls?

Calls to Jacko's new people have not been returned.

Story developing ...


Michael Jackson's PR Flack -- She's That Good!

We just got our hands on the lawsuit filed by Raymone Bain, Michael Jackson's longtime publicist. This is the best ...she's suing for $44,000,000, plus attorney's fees.

What comes to mind immediately ... is Jacko's image so good it's worth 44 million clams? Just askin'...

In all fairness, Bain claims she ran every single aspect of Jackson's life ... which raises the question, shouldn't he be able to sue her?

Bain says she arranged his housing, paid his bills, ran his companies [into the ground?], saved him from foreclosure, and on and on.

well indeed raymone filed for the 44m beginning of may 2009....

What i dont get is why they write longtime publicist/friend...come on she worked for him since the trial and was already gone beginning of 2008...that s not what i call longtime. Neither a friend. Friend do not ask for 44m dollars....i read she was earning 30000 a month...how does she come to such an amount anyway? profit sharing? BS

i remember when she appeared, i didnt trust her from the get go. As most of the peeps surrounding MJ she was only motivated by greed and u could read that on her face.

I hope nobody ever trusts her again as a publicist after claiming for millions she didnt deserve

I simply want to know what the heck sort of publicist/managerial/friend services were provided to cause someone to ask for 44 million. Shoot I would have been willing to be her go-fer flunky if she was worth that much and warranted that sort of pay from him :lol:

Come on 44,000,000 dollars !  :shock:  Too many zeros aligned here.
Thanks ForstAmoon for the update.
What is this contract she's talking about "Mr. Jackson has elected not to honor the financial obligations of our contractual relationship"... :?  "our contractual relationship" ?, sounds odd to me. If Michael has chosen not pay her this "huge" amount surely because she didn't deserve it. It's not surprising that her claim's been rejected. Some people fears nothing for money.

So glad that justice is finally being served in Michael's favor. It probably wouldn't be so if he were around. I have to give the estate lawyers some credit - they are good at weeding out the Riff-Raff. Yes, I get all giddy inside too - because finally someone appears to be on Michael's side (hope so anyway).

Wow I was wondering who this chic was because I always see her in recent photos with MJ.  I was wondering if she was one of his girlfriends or something.  I find it kind of suprising that she would be suing him for 44 million.  That number just sounds absurd especially for someone who is just a publicist.  The thing I don't get is why she would sue him now?  There are recent photos with her and Michael.  Why would she continue to keep working for a man that owes her money?  This sound fishy to me.  Alot of these stories coming out now by TMZ seem to fit right into a hoax for sure because they are so absurd.

It could also just be another example of someone trying to take advantage of Michael for his money. He had a lot of leeches around him. I agree - that is a lot of money for someone in her position. I feel bad for Michael.

If they took this long to make a claim, they shouldn't get one cent if they don't really deserve it.  :ugeek:

I have a couple of questions: Just because the estate rejects something is that the end of it? If legally MJ did owe her something from a contract does a rejection from the estate end it? I wouldn't think so, so I am confused about these rejections. Does it mean she will have to pursue it elsewhere or is that it? Also, one thing I find odd about Raymone...I don't get a good vibe from her but she swears on her life that MJ did not do drugs and she was with him constantly during and after the trial. She said categorically no evidence of drugs. Yet his family who wasn't around him is saying there was a big problem. wth??
Title: Re: MJ Estate to Publicist: You're Not Getting a Cent!
Post by: mjboogie on April 20, 2010, 10:38:01 AM
Yep. I wonder if all of these rejections ties into the hoax somehow? I mean would it ?

i am glad that the estate are rejecting all of these stupid claims by these people. I remember reading in a magazine (which i still have) of Raymone speaking of MJ. But also that she had received a letter stating that she was fired from MJ"s brother RANDY!!! But when she called MJ he said that he is the only person who could fire her?

RANDY operated for MJ like that?

Anyway if this does tie into the hoax ( all of the rejections) then our baby will be able to start with a clean slate hugh! ;)

Souza and Mo...Please dont bash/ban me for saying this...This is long due

Frankly speaking, I am just sick and tired of these so called "close ASS-ociates" demanding money from the estate now that he's "gone".......These people want money? What for?

They couldnt do an ounce of good work for the man....Where were these "publcists" when the man was being trashed over and over again by the press? What did these people do to help when he was being treated like an old piece of trash.....like a commodity thats past its expiry date? The answer is a BIG nothing...Theyproved to be totally futile when he needed some good "publicity".....Now they want a bonus for being totlly worthless at their job[attachment=0:9nlvi2vt]012.jpg[/attachment:9nlvi2vt]

Inquiry: "why are you sueing the estate"
Answer: "I am jobless"
Inquiry: "what has led to your situation being jobless?"
Answer: "hoax websites."

(Imagine that would apply to some financial bank gamblers and politicians, too.  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: )

I am still waiting for some guerilla marketing following the viral marketing initiatives.

Harvey, take a position on this:
How much guerilla marketing ad space have you reserved yet?
(Or should we look at TMZ's MJ articles as something that has been purchased by 1,000 pixel contact prize in advance?  
I would not exclude that all the articles are purchased web space...  :lol:  :lol:  :lol: )

well i m curious to see which recent pics of MJ show him next to raymone?? That would be very odd, to say the least. Cause she was fired beginning of 2008 or even end of 2007...and nobody cried on that. She s an evil greedy woman and she just proved it again

and i guess she s not gonna stop it there and will go and ask for money in a civil court....

I think this was supposed to be a % of the deals she brokered for him - like loans from Sony etc.

I believe her about the no drugs and not because I think Michael to be a saint or just can't believe it about sweet Michael.  Not all the Jacksons have said this about Michael or am I wrong on that?  Sadly, I think it's some kind of career move for some.  I do get the feeling just recently that Janet has been told to say that and for reasons I don't even want to think about.  I don't say that easily either.  I prefer to take people at face value.

Why is it that so many clues go unnoticed when right in front of our eyes - presented by butler and brickman Harvey?

It is NOT about the written sentences we should worry.
It is NOT the OMG emotion that brings truth.

It is where the hints from the names and reading between the lines are directly leading us to where we should search and where the answers are laying open on the lawn for those who take their time.

I just don`t remember anymore WHERE I read it, but MJ did not get notice of her claim untill shortly before June 25 because "managers" were keeping him off track.When he did find out he reacted on that.

Anybody else around who remembers that article?
