September 16th, 2010 - 1:53 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Sept 16 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s mom and children have filed a lawsuit accusing production company AEG Live of breaching its agreement to provide physical care for the star and negligent in their hiring of Dr. Conrad Murray as MJ’s physician.
In the suit, Katherine Jackson claims AEG’s contract with Michael “created a legal duty for AEG to act reasonably toward the physical well-being of Michael Jackson,” reports TMZ.com.
Katherine also blames AEG for hiring Dr. Murray without a proper background check claiming, “AEG did not provide a doctor who was truly looking out for Jackson’s well-being and did not provide equipment.”
The suit also alleges AEG caused emotional distress to Michael’s son Prince because he witnessed Michael suffering and dying, and “he was put in a position as bystander to these tragic events.”
Kenny Ortega, who produced the planned London concerts for Michael, is also named as a defendant.
“The purpose of this lawsuit is to prove to the world the truth about what happened to Michael Jackson, once and for all,” said Brian J. Panish, the attorney who filed the suit, in a released statement. (ANI)
