Michael Jackson In Yet Another Lawsuit

For unpaid pet bills...

Share

JackoMichael Jackson is being sued by a California veterinarian for alleged unpaid bills, in the latest controversy concerning the 'eccentric' (for that read weird) star.
 
Martin Dinnes, owner of Dinnes Memorial Veterinary Hospital, claims Jackson owes him $91,602 (£51,729).

Dinnes helped Jacko acquire animals for his Neverland Ranch, which he has not occupied since being cleared of child molestation charges last June.

The star's lawyer, Thomas Mesereau, said he was unable to comment as he had yet to see the complaint.

The animals concerned include giraffes, elephants, orangutans and flamingoes.

Dinnes' lawyer said his client has continued to look after the animals since Jackson moved to Bahrain.

Brenton Horner said his client "filed the lawsuit with great reluctance".

"He has a lot of admiration for Michael. This is just a business matter," he added.

A court hearing has been set for 2 May in Santa Maria, California, where Jackson's trial took place last year.
