According to Marc Schaffel, the American star did not pay $3.8 million of salary due to financial difficulties.
Jackson’s attorney has filed a counterclaim, saying that Schaffel owes money to the star. The California court has learned that Jackson and Schaffel were working on two documentaries for television that were never aired.
Jackson admits that he called a stop to the project when he learned that Schaffel did not have any expertise in the documentary’s subject, and that he had been assosiated with homosexual pornograhic videos.
The hearing, which will begin in a few weeks, may reveal Jackson’s financial troubles. Jackson, who no longer lives in the United States, will not appear in court. His testimony will come by video deposition.
