Paris Jackson sues Michael Jackson estate for hundreds of millions
The dispute centers on money Paris Jackson says should already be supporting her father's family trust. In Good Morning America's report, she is seeking the transfer of roughly $600 million that she says Michael Jackson's estate holds in distributable cash.
ABC News reporter Jaclyn Lee describes court filings in which Paris says the trust remains unfunded despite provisions intended to provide income to Michael's children. The estate disputes her position, pointing to IRS litigation and other legal hurdles that it says prevent a distribution.
That distinction is central to the segment: the demand is for money to move into a family trust, not simply a payment directly to Paris. Family law attorney David Glass explains the competing arguments over whether unresolved liabilities justify holding the money while the estate continues generating revenue.
The report drew about 64,000 views in its first 11 hours, already far beyond GMA's usual first-day audience for Shorts. Lee also notes that Paris's brothers have not formally joined the suit.
American model, actress and singer who is Michael Jackson’s daughter. She released her debut album, Wilted, in 2020.
