Subject: Michael Jackson In Control of His Business Affairs Author: Breakofdawnmjj [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:52:55 12/31/03 Wed The following releases are being distributed on behalf of Kevin McLin, Michael Jackson’s publicist. PRESS RELEASE 12/31/2003 Michael Jackson In Control of His Business Affairs Los Angeles, California – Pop Superstar Michael Jackson is in full control of his business affairs and the more than 25 people he employs to manage those affairs; including longtime and ongoing relationships with his accountants, lawyers and advisors. Contrary to an article in the December 30, 2003 New York Times, the Pop icon along with his advisors, is making the key decisions that affect the day to day running of his entertainment empire. The article in the New York Times “Dispute in the Michael Jackson Camp Over Role of the Nation of Islam”, incorrectly reported that the Nation of Islam has taken over Mr. Jackson’s affairs. "The idea that there is some takeover by the Nation of Islam — someone is spinning you," says Jackson attorney Mark Geragos. Mr. Jackson is facing charges of child molestation and attorney Geragos notes that these accusations of Nation of Islam control surfaced immediately after the Santa Barbara district attorney's office engaged a public relations firm. In addition, the Nation of Islam has stated that it has "no official business or professional relationship with Mr. Michael Jackson” and “joins thousands of other people in wishing him well". The New York Times also erroneously reported that Mr. Jackson's official spokesman, Stuart Backerman, resigned on Monday to protest the Nation of Islam's presence. In fact, Mr. Geragos personally fired Backerman last week for making an official statement on December 20th at Neverland ranch, without the previously agreed upon authorization.
