Joe Jackson Wants More Of Michael’s Money
Once again M.J.’s father proves what a leech he really is. Ever since Michael’s death, Joe Jackson has been trying to turn a buck on the sensationalism surrounding the deceased pop star. Everything from plugging new CDs to comments about Michael being “worth more dead” – all these occurrences show us that Joe saw nothing but dollar signs when his son died.
Now we’re hearing that Joe Jackson plans to file for a court hearing. Why? Apparently he feels entitled to a monthly allowance of over $20,000 to cover “living expenses”. Riiight. 20 grand? It sounds like ol’ papa here has been living high on the hog. What exactly does that cover?
Thank you LA Times for this little layout of Joe’s monthly expenses.
The filing does not specify the amount Joe Jackson seeks, but a monthly budget included in the court papers lists more than $15,000 in expenses, including $1,500 for rent, $2,500 for eating out and $5,000 for hotels and air travel.
OK, I’ll give him the rent. Housing isn’t cheap. But what is this $2,500 for eating out? Or $5,000 for traveling? Where is he going that he needs to spend 5 grand a month on hotels?
Really, the point here is that Joe didn’t treat Michael right when M.J. was a boy, and now he’s getting his comeuppance. Michael made a will for a reason. He wanted to use his money to take care of the people who cared about him. His children are taken care of, along with his mother who is reportedly getting $26,000 a month.
That’s what he wanted.
Notice that Joe was not included. So why does he think that he is automatically entitled to his son’s money?
The judge in charge of this case denied a hearing at this time.
