'Thriller' Director and Producer Say Michael Jackson Owes Money

The director and producer of the iconic "Thriller" music video are less than thrilled. George Folsey, Jr., the video's producer, filed a claim on Thursday stating that he is due more than $1 million for his contribution.

An attorney for director John Landis also made a claim on Thursday against Michael Jackson's estate. He believes to be owed more than $1.3 million.
Landis also filed a suit to prevent Jackson from pursuing additional "Thriller" projects, such as a musical theater production. The cases continue to be pending. Take a look at court papers related to the suits here.
Jackson's former manager, Leonard Rowe, said he is owed more than $300,000 on Thursday, according to the Associated Press. Earlier this week, dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein filed a claim as well. Published 14 hours ago

This is crazy. Everyone seems to be after money, but why claim this so late? This claim should have been made months ago.

*AHEM*

With all due respect Since the untimely passing of my friend, there has been much speculation regarding what I would call a "Death Hoax." This particular hoax is just a hoax. I have received many supportive e-mail from hundreds of fans over the past couple of months, however, we really need to support Michael's children. I have not had any contact with them, however, I know that their loss is much more difficult than yours or mine. Please give me some space right now as I am suffering a great loss as well. There have also been some people who are out there from my past that are making all sorts of erroneous claims. Do not believe the hype. Strike out against these people so the truth can settle and we can all accept the truth as one, as Michael would have wanted us to. Yours very truly, Dave Dave ...I'm just saying!
