Overview
- Paris Jackson filed a Nov. 18 objection in Los Angeles contending executors John Branca and John McClain misused their roles and delayed disclosure.
- Her filing alleges more than $464 million in cash sat largely uninvested with returns under 0.1%, claiming prudent management could have earned about $41 million.
- She asserts the executors collected over $10 million in 2021 compensation and estimates $148.2 million through 2021, exceeding beneficiary distributions.
- The objection criticizes what she calls risky entertainment ventures, citing the biopic Michael where Branca serves as an executive producer.
- The estate rejects the claims, points to prior legal wins including striking much of an earlier petition and seeking attorneys’ fees, and notes Paris has received about $65 million in benefits.
