Paris Jackson Calls Estate Executor’s $109 Million Fee Request ‘Offensive,’ Seeks Reduction
Michael Jackson's daughter claims attorney John Branca failed to justify the hefty compensation rate
Paris Jackson, daughter of the late Michael Jackson, is intensifying her legal dispute with estate executor John Branca. In new court documents, the younger Jackson alleges Branca's desire to pocket over $100 million in fees for just two years of work is "particularly offensive." Branca's legal team has countered, calling Paris' claims "nonsensical" and "absurd," asserting he was never paid and only received a management fee for running the successful estate.
The legal conflict between Paris and Branca, who also serves as co-executor with John McClain, has been ongoing for months. Paris accused Branca and McClain of creating a biopic aimed at "enriching and aggrandizing" them, not the family. Despite Branca's response stating his claims are "completely without merit," Paris recently secured a court ruling awarding her $625,000 in bonuses to three law firms, deeming the payments "arbitrary."
