Another day, another Michael Jackson lawsuit
LOS ANGELES (AP) – An antiques and furniture store has sued pop star Michael Jackson for allegedly failing to pay a nearly $180,000 bill.
Kamad Enterprise, which owns Mayfair Gallery, claimed Jackson owes $178,875 US of the $378,875 in merchandise he allegedly purchased in May, according to a complaint filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Mayfair Gallery sells mostly 19th-century European furniture.
Jackson bought 20 items, including a malachite urn, a Louis XVI-style bust clock, silver bread holder and an Austrian gold-painted dancing girl, the complaint said.
A lawyer for Jackson, Brian Oxman, said he had not reviewed the complaint. "Like other proceedings involving Michael Jackson, we'll look at it carefully and deal with it in a professional manner," Oxman said.
It was the second legal action against Jackson this week alleging he failed to pay bills. J. Marc Schaffel, a former producer and business associate, sued the singer Tuesday, claiming Jackson owes him more than $3 million in loans and producing fees.
Jackson is also facing child molestation charges and has pleaded not guilty. His trial is scheduled for Jan. 31.
