Michael Jackson’s Estate Sued For $1 Billion

Kimberly Griggs filed handwritten paperwork in San Diego, California claiming she had an intimate relationship with Jackson in 1979 and that he went on to use personal details about her life in his music, TMZ reports. She says he wrote about their affair on his Thriller, Bad and Dangerous albums and, after exploiting her personal secrets, promised to give her the rights to the tracks.

He never did give her the rights to his music, of course, and now she is suing for $1 billion in damages.
