Michael Jackson estate battle: Son Bigi trying to ‘protect’ grandmother from ‘certain’ family members

filed by Bigi, formerly known as Blanket, show that the 93-year-old matriarch is trying to tap into funds from Michael’s estate to challenge a $600 million music catalog deal.Katherine’s side argues that the estate should cover her $500,000 legal fees, while Bigi disagrees.“… it seems clear to [Katherine] that the Executors are holding all of the assets in the Estate in order to keep control over them, and to avoid the more liberal distribution requirements of the Trust,” says a new complaint filed by Katherine’s attorney, according to People.But close family sources say this is not really about Bigi, now 22, trying to deny his grandmother anything.Rather, it’s about trying to wean the extended family off Michael’s legacy.“Bigi isn’t going against his grandmother. Bigi is really trying to protect his grandmother in the same manner that Michael did, which is to protect her from the Jacksons!” a longtime family associate told The Post.“It’s the same s–t,” the associate said, alleging that some relatives get money from the trust via soft-hearted Katherine.

‘Leaving Neverland’ director says script for Michael Jackson biopic is “startlingly disingenuous”

Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed has described the script for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael as “startlingly disingenuous”.Michael has been confirmed to receive a theatrical release in the United States on April 18, 2025, per production house Lionsgate. A UK release date is yet to be announced.Given the project’s connection to the Jackson estate, it is unclear whether the film will explore the most controversial aspects of the singer’s life, including the allegations of child sexual abuse.However, according to Reed, who has read a draft of the script, the film makes a point to discredit Wade Robson and James Safechuck, the two men who allege that Jackson sexually assaulted them in the 2019 docuseries Leaving Neverland.“Jackson is only ever seen caring for children with childhood cancer, or dancing with a little girl in a wheelchair, or tucking up multiple little boys, mostly his nephews, at sleepovers,” Reed said of the script (via Variety).
