An attorney for Michael Jackson’s estate has branded a multi-million dollar lawsuit from a concert promoter as “frivolous and wholly without merit.”
Allgood Entertainment lawyers filed a $300 million creditor’s claim on Friday, demanding a share of profits from the hit This Is It documentary, which shows Jackson in rehearsals for his ill-fated final tour.
In the suit, Jackson and his agent Frank Dileo are accused of pulling out of Allgood’s planned Jackson 5 show to “secretly team up with AEG to produce a concert or series of concerts in London.”
But attorney Howard Weitzman, who is representing Jackson’s estate in court, tells TMZ.com he plans to fight the allegations, insisting: “AllGood’s creditor’s claim and its underlying lawsuit are frivolous and wholly without merit.”
Company bosses at Allgood previously lodged a $300 million lawsuit in October claiming the Thriller hitmaker refused to join his siblings at the gig, despite his manager reportedly signing the deal.
The huge sum will be added to a long list of creditor’s claims against Jackson’s estate, which already exceeds $23 million.
