Michael Jackson's Son Bigi Says Estate Shouldn't Pay Grandmother's Legal Bills in Dispute over $600 Million Catalog DealIlana Kaplan is a Senior Digital Writer/Editor at PEOPLE. They have been working at PEOPLE since 2023. Their work has previously appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Vogue and more.Bigi Jackson attends attends the Annual THRILLER NIGHT Halloween Party, hosted by Prince Michael Jackson on Oct. 28, 2022 in Encino, California.
He argued that since the estate won't "benefit" it shouldn't have to pay for Katherine's pending appeal against co-executors John Branca and John McClain, who had wanted approval to move forward with an unnamed transaction last year. The Jackson estate couldn’t be reached for comment.. Reps for Bigi and Katherine have yet to respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.Both Bigi and Katherine were initially aligned in fighting the estate’s proposed transaction. However, after the judge ruled last year that the deal would move ahead, Blanket and his siblings accepted the court's decision, while Katherine filed an appeal, which is currently pending.
"It is readily apparent that a reversal on appeal would be an extreme longshot,” wrote lawyers on behalf of Bigi. “Given those odds, Bigi decided not to waste his resources to participate in an appeal. Nonetheless, Katherine has decided to appeal this court’s ruling. That decision is not for the benefit of the heirs.”Bigi isn't entirely against his grandmother's request.
