Paris Jackson the eldest of late pop star Michael Jackson’s three children is determined to take control of the legendary singer’s estate.
And this has driven a wedge between her and brothers Prince and Bigi.
According to RadarOnline.com reports Paris’ recent legal triumph demanding to be paid $625,000 in bonus from the Jackson estate lawyers is causing tension between the siblings.
Prince and Bigi – who joined Paris on a February filing involving the lawsuit – “believe this stopped being about protecting Michael’s legacy a long time ago,” a family insider told RadarOnline.com. “They see it as a fight for control, and they’re exhausted by it.”
Now the siblings rarely speak, and when they do, a lawyer is present. “They’re not sitting down and talking things through anymore,” the insider said.
“Everything goes through lawyers, advisors and representatives. It’s completely transactional – and incredibly sad.”
Paris has been engaged in a bare-knuckle court brawl, blasting the estate over the generous bonus payments to the lawyers and demanding a timely accounting of her father’s estate’s financial records. The estate executors vehemently denied wrongdoing.
Tension between the Billie Jean singer’s children began brewing shortly before the release of the phenomenally successful biopic Michael, which was coproduced by Prince, 29, and estate executors John Branca, 75, and John McClain (who died at age 71 in May).
The film has passed Bohemian Rhapsody as the highest-grossing music biopic ever, reaching over $911million.
Meanwhile the film has grossed N800m in Nigeria. According to the latest figures from the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN), the film generated N11.98 million during the week of June 26 to July 2.
Thus bringing its cumulative Nigerian box office earnings to N790.96 million. Industry data indicates the film has since surpassed the N800 million milestone.
