Kenny Ortega Requests to Strike Catherine Jackson’s Lawsuit

Some time ago, Catherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, filed a lawsuit against AEG—the company behind the This Is It concerts—Dr. Murray, and Kenny Ortega, Michael’s longtime friend and colleague, accusing them of negligence in caring for her child’s health. Now, Kenny Ortega has asked the judge to strike his name from the list of people read in this case, because he has no connection to the treatment and death of the Pop King. His attorney says Ortega had not signed any contract with Michael or with Dr. Murray, and he had no official affiliation with the company. The lawyer calls the charges against Ortega by Catherine Jackson baseless and a major mistake. Source: eMJey / TMZ
