A Beverly Hills pharmacy filed suit against the reclusive pop star Wednesday, claiming that MJ was $101,926.66 behind on payments for prescriptions filled. On Friday, Jackson’s rep, Raymone Bain, issued a statement saying the pharmacy “has been paid” and that the lawsuit was due to trouble the singer had with his former business managers, who he’s now suing. I bet THAT guy is owed money too.
Mickey Fine Pharmacy sued Jackson for breach of oral contract and common count, meaning simply that the business’ proprietors were after the money they were owed. According to the complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, they sought the remainder of Jackson’s bill as well as court costs and any other relief the court decided to award them. I wonder what prescriptions he was getting? Voice changing meds? Skin bleach? Silly puddy for his nose?
Sadly, the notion that Jackson hadn’t made good on a pharmacy bill isn’t exactly shocking. The legally beleaguered performer has been plagued with financial issues for years, coming close to bankruptcy at least several times and becoming the target of multiple lawsuits demanding payment for services rendered. I can only pray his next album won’t sell or people will boycott it
In an April 2003 article on Jackson’s finances in Vanity Fair, it was reported that, from October-December 2000, Jackson owed $62,645 to Mickey Fine, as well as $250,000 to his music attorney, $15,000 to his dermatologist, $99,831 to some place called Celebrity Costumes, $114,847 to the Hôtel d’Angleterre in Switzerland and $850,000 for “payroll.” I don’t even want to know about these costumes…friggin weirdo
Another article about Jackson by Fox News in 2002 that focused on that same time period reported that Jackson also owed more than $500,000 to his litigation firms, more than $78,000 to two PR firms, $214,000 to two different limo companies and $200,000 to Santa Monica Video & Audio Center (which, on Jackson’s behalf, is an authorized Sony dealer, after all). What a freak, scumbag, pedo
And that was before Jackson’s 2005 trial on child molestation charges. Shaaaamone, Shaaamone
Since being acquitted of all charges, the erstwhile King of Pop has mainly been living abroad, shuttling between the Persian Gulf island of Bahrain and Europe and promising, then reneging on, plans for a comeback. He finally touched down in the U.S. last month, appearing to speak at the public memorial for James Brown in Augusta, Georgia last month.
The independently owned and operated Mickey Fine—which came under fire in Los Angeles magazine a few years ago for touting its celebrity clientele as a marketing ploy (”Stop in to fill a prescription and you may rub elbows with Jennifer Lopez or Nicole Richie,” the slogan read)—is run by third-generation owner Jeff Gross. Ripping off the small guy, nice work there wacko jacko

MJ is a sick pedophile… That post above me, well, lets just say you’re missinformed - he was NEVER greater than anyone and his taste for little boys is disgusting. I doubt anyone with a conscience would attest to MJ being anything but a sick, sick ?man? (if indeed that is what he refers to himself as) As for all these accounts of misconduct on MJ’s behalf, there’s really no way you can touch the guy, he is an idol to some, a good singer to most, and gives money to charity (probably so he doesn’t feel as bad taking children into his bed - seems like he has a complex) Now I’m not inferring he’s a child molester since he was aquitted of his charges - but now he’s in Islam where they feel it necessary for men to teach/show young boys about… I’ll let you guess, but yep, he is one sick ****, what a waste of the planets oxygen.
