Paris Jackson Claims Estate Excess Spending Sparks Family Rift

Paris Jackson has filed legal claims against the executors of her late father Michael Jackson's estate, John Branca and John McClain, alleging excessive spending and lack of transparency, including $600,000 in alleged lavish gratuities to outside lawyers. Despite these accusations, the executors have been credited with rescuing the estate from over $500 million in debt and transforming it into a lucrative enterprise valued at over $2 billion, ensuring financial security for Michael's children. Paris has received approximately $65 million from the estate, but sources say her spending exceeds sustainable levels. Her legal actions have reportedly isolated her from much of the Jackson family, who largely support the executors' management. In addition to disputes over the estate, Paris is investigating abuse claims against Michael Jackson, including reaching out to the Cascio family and questioning the allegations made by Wade Robson, which has created additional family tensions. She has reconnected with her aunt Janet Jackson as they consider potential legal challenges relating to the estate and these abuse claims.
