Joe Jackson ends bid for estate stipend:
Michael Jackson's father, slithering back into the spotlight, is withdrawing his request to receive more than $15,000 a month from his late son's estate.A court filing says Joe Jackson is dropping his bid to receive a monthly allowance, opting instead to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit over his son's death.
Joe Jackson filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday against Dr. Conrad Murray, who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the singer's death.The Jackson family patriarch was omitted from his son's will, but in November sought a stipend to pay his monthly expenses.The filing was first reported Monday by the celebrity website TMZ. Apparently he was turned down by executors of MJ's estate. Joe Jackson's filing indicates he may renew his request for a stipend later if necessary.
Give it up Joe. Your son did not want you to have any of his money. In fact, he hated you for the abuse you heaped upon him during his lifetime. Slide back under your rock, Joe, and leave the family in peace.
