A former publicist of Michael Jackson has sued the King of Pop for $44 million, claiming the entertainer never paid her, Reuters reports. Raymone Bain represented Jackson around the time of his 2005 trial for child sexual abuse, which ended when the singer was acquitted. Bain was also made general manager of the Michael Jackson Company, overseeing the performer’s business affairs, in 2006. She is the latest of several former Jackson advisers and partners who have sued the singer recently; most of the previous cases have been settled out of court. Jackson’s current representative didn’t return calls for comment.

The Saga of Michael Jackson’s fall from super-stardom continues. Stay tuned for Bubbles the Chimp’s tell-all book, released this summer.
It’s the same foolishness. People get fired by members of Jacksons team then they go crying to Michael and he takes them back and then they sue him later. This happened with a prior publicist. Michael should learn his team fires people for a reason. Michael Jackson: The curse of a big heart.
Michael Jackson I just heard last night May 8 2009 that he might cancel his gig of shows in London. Fate is paying this pig back. He is a scam artist. He hid inheritance money of a John Lennon daughter lovechild for 24 years. He is afraid to go into concert because soon he must reveal this daughter. People are going to see him as a crook. But he wants to make many millions first. It doesn
t work that way honey. You must pay the price the same way Madof is now paying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael Jackson needs to be in jail.
His September 7th and 10th, 2001 concert just happened to happen before 9-11. What a coincidence.
This guy needs to be behind bars. Him and his crook lawyers are the biggest swine on the planet.
Just this morning, I was wondering what ever happened to Raymone K. Bain after MJ moved to Ireland. She seemed to be working hard for Michael with the websites and everything. I guess he left her in Bahrain with the bill.
For the Einsteins that keep bashing a man that they do not know, my gosh,
try not to speak, those of us who know him and his staff are tired of hearing your ignorance. Mr. Jackson certainly has made some bad choices in whom he employs and he is far too cut off from his own affairs, to see the damage his trusted staff is allowing. However, Mr. Jackson will get it together soon and the bone heads that are making him look bad will find it hard to overcome their professional mistakes. No one will hire them. As for Bain and this lawsuit, well, while I don’t condone lawsuits, I happen to know the only way to get Jackson’s staff to get off their bum’s and take care of business, is to sue. Jackson’s current management are dropping the ball in more ways than one. They are crippling him, so he will keep getting sued until he figures out that his staff are not good people.
Ps. Jackson is a good man, but even good men, make bad choices when it comes to matters they know little about.
