Michael Jackson would be none too pleased to learn that his family has ignited another legal battle after his passing. Trent Jackson, Michael’s cousin, is calling in TJ Jackson, Michael’s nephew, to determine who is the victim and the villain after Katherine Jackson filed a lawsuit against Trent, claiming he committed elder abuse. By calling in TJ, Trent hopes to absolve himself of any wrongdoing, while casting doubt on the motives of other family members, who may be trying to fall closer in line to the matriarch’s bank account. Because Michael cut his siblings and dad out of his will, his estate pays Katherine a monthly stipend, and upon her death, the balance of Michael’s fortune is to be divided amongst his three children and various charities.
