Paris Jackson has accused the executors of her late father Michael Jackson's estate of bullying her over questions about estate spending, including payments to law firms, bonuses, and fees. In court filings, the 28-year-old singer claims John Branca and John McClain are mocking her and seeking media attention, while the executors counter that she is the one courting the press. This follows her earlier objections to biopic costs.
Paris Jackson filed new objections in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing co-executors John Branca and John McClain of using the estate's resources to bully her after she questioned significant payments to third-party law firms, bonuses, and other fees. The filings, obtained by TMZ, describe the executors' responses as mocking and belittling Michael Jackson's only daughter, distracting from her career amid ongoing painful litigation. Jackson asserts that the executors have avoided addressing her concerns by blaming her lawyers or media engagement, which she denies. She specifically labels their recent statements as sexist, accusing them of portraying her as 'strutting' into hearings while positioning themselves as the 'grown-ups.' This escalation comes after her prior challenges to the estate's handling of the biopic 'Michael,' including costly reshoots, and ahead of a hearing on the estate's accounts. The executors have previously defended their management, noting Paris has benefited substantially from the estate.
