The King of Pop’s former manager Dr. Tohme Tohme says the Jackson estate owes him money, and "The Insider" has the details.

Tohme contends in a creditor’s claim filed Thursday that he has not received any portion of the managerial fee he and the late star agreed upon in July of 2008: 15 percent Jackson’s gross compensation within the entertainment industry, including live performances, merchandising, electronic arts, recorded and live telecasts, motion pictures and animation projects.

Tohme also claims he entered into an agreement with Jackson in May of 2008 in which Jackson agreed to compensate the doctor for helping enlist Colony Capital LLC to provide $23 million in funds to purchase a promissory note preventing foreclosure on Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. Tohme claims he’s owed $2,300,000 (10 percent of the amount of funding) and 10 percent of the gross proceeds of any sale of the ranch property.

Tohme also says Jackson agreed to reimburse him for “reasonable expenses” connected to his services. Keep checking back here for the latest!

  • Chandler who first accused MJ of molesting him in 1993, shoots himself in the head ending his paranoid delusions that MJ fans were after him. It was KARMA that killed him!

    • @ jeyne people like these don't care. They didn't care about Michael. He was just something to hang onto and get money from. He used Michael. It means means nothing to them that he is dead. They smell the money and they want some. Even if they don't...

    • The American Music Awards will be coming on November 22 I think. MJ fans have you cast your vote for MJ yet. It would be great to see him win all five. If not all five let's help him win as many as we can. Let's do it for MJ.

    • The people in charge of Michael's estate will do what's right. But they will not pay someone just because they say that Michael owe them money. So to Tohme....prove it....don't just say it. Anyone can LIE.
