AEG fires back at MJ family lawsuit
By ANIFriday, September 17, 2010
WASHINGTON - Event promotion giant AEG has fired back at Michael Jackson’s mum Katherine’s lawsuit over her son’s death.
The entertainment firm claimed that it had nothing to do with the hiring or supervision of Dr. Conrad Murray.
In a statement released through AEG’s lawyers, the company termed Katherine’s lawsuit ‘inaccurate, unsubstantiated and meritless’ and then explained its relationship with Murray.
“Dr. Murray was Mr. Jackson’s longtime personal physician. AEG did not choose him, hire him or supervise him. That said, and in honor of our professional relationship with Mr. Jackson and his Estate, we will have no further public statements,” TMZ.com quoted the statement as saying.
It’s true that Murray was handpicked by the pop legend but Katherine claims that AEG was negligent because they didn’t check Murray’s credentials.
She also claimed that AEG pushed Michael way too hard during rehearsals. (ANI)
