Michael the Molestor in Hot Lawsuit Action
Jackson Sues Former Porn Pal - Oct 27, 2005 - E! Online News: "t seems Michael Jackson wants to be starting something with a former business crony.
The entertainer has filed a counter-complaint against gay-porn producer Marc Schaffel, who last year sued Jackson for more than $3 million in allegedly unpaid loans and fees.
Jackson counter-sued Schaffel in Los Angeles Superior Court on Oct. 18, accusing him of misappropriating and hiding funds, the singer's lawyer said Wednesday.
In his court filing, the Moonwalker alleges that Schaffel failed to pay costs related to the production of his post-9/11 single, 'What More Can I Give?' He also claims that Schaffel continued to represent himself as an associate of Jackson's long after their business agreement had ended.
Jackson further alleges that Schaffel nabbed $250,000 in sculptures and paintings belonging to the 'Thriller' singer. (And, given all the items Jackson was recently forced to return to an antiques dealer, we're guessing he's feeling extra-protective of his things.)
The Gloved One's legal eagle, Brent Ayscough, said that Schaffel had also tried to have a lien placed on Neverland Ranch.
Meanwhile, Schaffel's lawyer, Howard King, dismissed Jackson's accusations, calling the complaint 'another ridiculous claim.'
