Joe Jackson Compromises Wrongful Death Claim
34 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joe Jackson may have just dug himself a hole to China during a TV appearance in Brazil ... by telling the host Michael Jackson "never supported me."

During the interview on "Hoje em Dia," the interviewer incorrectly said, "According to TMZ, you were being supported by Michael."  Joe responded, "No, he never supported me."

The statement flies in the face of his claim in the Michael Jackson Estate case ... that Michael did indeed support him -- which is why Joe asked for an allowance.

Even more serious for Joe, by admitting MJ never supported him, it could severely compromise his wrongful death lawsuit against Dr. Conrad Murray.  Joe's statement could severely limit his monetary claim, because now he can't show he lost money when Michael died.

TMZ previously reported, Michael didn't support his dad, but he gave Katherine $50,000 - $66,000 a month ... and she would then use that money to pay for Joe's living expenses.

Michael also cut Joe out of his will.

I think this shows how valid is Joe's whole wrongful death claim.....

There must be a hidden agenda here.....He obviously had to bring this to light again for a reason , but always seems to stuff it up..so it never really actually eventuates..

Exposing the illegal drug pushing doctors..?????????

I think what compromises Joe's wrongful death claim is the fact that Michael is alive.  And it's called "Wrongful Death" which could mean they're wrong about Michael dying.  Joe is keeping MJ's name in the news - along with everything else like songs being leaked, is it or isn't it Michael's voice, family and friends on Oprah, etc.  When Michael comes back, it'll seem like he never left.  But it sure is going to shock a lot of people!

I love the way you think!  :)

Joe invalidates his own wrongful death suit so there won't be a judgment against Dr. Murray in this claim.

It makes perfect sense because Michael is Alive, so we don't want any monetary judgments being made in favour of a death that never occurred.

If that is true, and has to keep Michael in the news, that these entanglements Crazy Joe no sense.
