Singer Michael Jackson Gets Sued Again

Raymone Bain, the publicist and general manager of singer Michael Jackson, has filed a $44 million lawsuit against him stating that he did not pay her for the deals that she has made. She says that she has been working for him for more than five years as his spokeswoman, publicist, head of Michael Jackson Co. Inc, and personal general manager. She claims that Jackson agreed to pay her 10 percent of the agreements that she handled. He also didn't pay her for negotiating the release of his CD to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his "Thriller" album, refinancing his loan to keep the Beatles' song catalog, and negotiations of a concert series in London.
