| MICHAEL JACKSON RESPONDS
In response to the media feeding frenzy following reports of a police-conducted search his Neverland ranch Tuesday morning Michael Jackson's spokesman Stuart Backerman has issued a statement.
The statement comments that the "rogue's gallery of hucksters and self-styled 'inside sources' ... [are] speculating, guessing and fabricating information about an investigation they couldn't possibly know about."
These journalists were also referred to as "the malignant horde of media hounds."
"I've seen lawyers who do not represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with a dreadful allegation just as another project, an album, a video, is being released," said Michael Jackson, himself.
The statement also says that the 45-year-old popster will cooperate fully with authorities, but does not comment on the ongoing investigation, claiming, "We do not yet know what it is about." | |
