She always seemed way out of her depth working for Michael Jackson, which is a tough job as he's the most talented man in show business.
She claims Michael said he would give her 10% of any business deals she negociated. Now I find that very hard to believe, and I doubt she had anything to do with the business between Michael and Sony over the release of Thriller25 or Michael's O2 concerts.

Ben;210177 said:Exactly, she's got to be right up there with Michael's Dangerous era manager Sandy Gillan as Michael's worst and most incompedent employee in a managerial/PR role of MJJ Productions.Inc.
I don't know why he choose to employ her in such a high profile role. As she was employeed during Michael's 2005 over false abuse allegations, I do think one of the reasons he employeed her was because she was black. But in Michael's career both as kid singed to Motown and as an adult Michael has connections with black men and women in the music business, who are at the top of entertainment could have done a much better and effective job than she did. I wouldn't be surprised if Michael doesn't want to pay her for her services, because I can't think of anything useful she's done in Michael's career. His career seems to have start to take shape after her roll in MJJ Productions had taken a back set, and Michael had a new set of managers and PR. Lets hope Raymone Bain is the last of the imcompedence to have managed to work for Michael since 1991.
