Joe Jackson: Michael Didn’t Support Me

In an interview with a Brazilian TV network, Joe Jackson made an odd slip-up. The condition for accepting his request to benefit from a monthly allowance and also the compensation that Conrad Murray—the doctor accused of murdering Michael—might be required to pay is that he must have been supported by him even before Michael died. But in his latest interview, he denied any support from Michael. Meanwhile, in the papers he submitted to the court to receive a monthly allowance from the King of Pop Foundation, he wrote that Michael supported him financially during his lifetime. Joe, who was interviewed by Hoje em Dia, responded to the host’s incorrect statement that read: "According to TMZ, Michael supported you." He said: "No, he never supported me." If the judge finds that Michael did not support his father financially, he will not be granted a monthly allowance. Also, his lawsuit against Murray—recently referred to state court—may be dismissed. Of course, it had already been widely rumored that Michael did not support Joe. Michael paid his mother between $50,000 and $66,000 per month, and Catherine, at her discretion, gave Joe additional money. In his will, Michael did not mention his father by name. Source: eMJey / TMZ
