Ola Ray Sues Michael Jackson's Estate

Ola Ray, the woman in Michael Jackson's megahit video "Thriller" has sued his estate for a chunk of the profits from the video.

I am not in agreement with this lawsuit. It violates the worldwide standard in entertainment, that video girls or video guys, are paid a fixed fee, issued one time, for their appearance.

Ola did not write or direct the video, having no creative input that could possibly warrant payments. Furthermore, Jackson and his dancing, were the star of the video. Not to be mean, but Michael could have been dancing and walking with a mop, instead of Ola and that video still would have been a huge hit. She was not instrumental to its success.

She should have parlayed her fame from the video appearance into a career with credible acting roles on TV and or film. Posing for Playboy was a bad idea and a career killer.

A good agent would have easily gotten her a variety of work for having starred in the most famous music video of all time, so far.

EXCLUSIVE: Michael Jackson’s Thriller Girlfriend Sues His Estate For “A Substantial Sum”

Posted on Jul 16, 2009 @ 04:22PM - Michael Jackson’s Thriller girlfriend Ola Ray isn’t letting the singer’s death stop her battle for royalties she claims are owed her from the 1983 video.

The former Playboy pin-up’s lawyer Jason Feldman told RadarOnline.com exclusively that he has served the executor of Jackson’s estate, attorney John Branca with new papers to gain ‘a substantial sum’ in unpaid royalties from the famous video

The parties will meet in court for the first time on August 19.

Ray launched the suit on April 30 but it was then against the singer himself. Jackson’s estate will now be the defendant. “We believe that our client is due a substantial sum as the copyright value for Thriller has gone-up considerably since he died, Feldman told RadarOnline.com.

“It’s obviously complicated to equate exactly how much this is but sales for the video itself have generated somewhere between $15 to $40 million dollars since it was first released.”

Michael Jackson Pepsi Commercial Accident Video

US Weekly has released disturbing footage, displaying the January 1984 Pepsi commercial accident that badly burned the face and scalp of the late pop star, Michael Jackson, who died last month of cardiac arrest.

Jackson sustained painful second and third degree burns that left bald spots on his head. As previously stated last month, on June 26, 2009 in the Judiciary Report article Coroner: Michael Jackson Was On Pain Medication, the 1984 Pepsi commercial injury marked the beginning of Jackson's prescription pill abuse habit. US Weekly is now stating the same this week, regarding when his struggle with prescription meds began.

One does not sustain that type of injury, as Jackson did in the making of the commercial, without being prescribed painkillers of a strong variety. Some people end up developing a dependency. Michael was one of them.

Shocking Photos Of Michael Jackson’s Legs Show Track Marks

A set of photos ABC News obtained of Michael Jackson's legs, seven years ago, revealed a constellation of discolored needle marks and a hideous blotch.

"It looks like there are multiple punctures from IV placement," Dr. Debra Jaliman, a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Dermatology, told the network.

Jaliman added that it is "unusual" for IVs to be placed in the leg, a measure she surmised was likely necessary if no veins in the upper body were accessible.

Jaliman said that the blotch might have been the result of necrosis, a condition that could have surfaced due to IV fluids dripping into the Thriller star's lower leg. She said that the damage also might be attributable to a caustic, damaging fluid the late Beat It singer's skin made contact with.
