Shop sues Jacko for paying half of €285,000 bill

AN antiques shop is suing pop star Michael Jackson for allegedly failing to pay a near €140,000 bill.

Kamad Enterprise, which owns the Mayfair Gallery in Los Angeles, claims Jackson bought €285,000 worth of antiques in May but has only paid for half of it.

The Mayfair Gallery specialises in 19th century European furniture.

Jackson bought 20 items, including a malachite urn, a Louis XVI-style bust clock, silver bread holder and an Austrian gold-painted dancing girl, said the complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Jackson’s lawyer Brian Oxman, said he had not reviewed the complaint.

“Like other proceedings involving Michael Jackson, we’ll look at it carefully and deal with it in a professional manner,” he said.

It was the second action against Jackson this week alleging failure to pay bills.
