It’s very unfortunate that on the 13th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s passing in 2009, new drama has surfaced regarding his estate and apparently an ex of one of MJ’s siblings…but yet, here we are.
On Friday, June 24, 2022 — one day before the 13th anniversary of MJ’s death — MJ’s estate filed a lawsuit against Jeffre Philips, whom the estate says was engaged to Michael’s sibling at the time of his passing in 2009. However, the court docs did not specify which sibling they were referring to.
Which MJ ‘Sibling’s Ex’ Is His Estate Referring To? We DO NOT Know, But…
For the record, we have NO idea which Jackson sibling was engaged to the ex whom the estate is claiming to be the alleged ‘thief.’ But coincidentally, the only ex of a Jackson sibling who’s name is “Jeffre Phillips” that we — along with the mass majority — are aware of, is La Toya Jackson’s ex-fiancé.
Many of you may recall when Jeffre oftentimes appeared on La Toya’s OWN Network reality show, “Life With La Toya,” back in 2013. At that time, he’d been her decades-long business partner. They then made headlines after Jeffre asked La Toya to marry her on the show. But again, it’s unclear if that is the same “Jeffre Phillips” accused in estate’s lawsuit.
It’s also worth noting that the legal docs state Jeffre was engaged to one of Michael’s siblings in 2009, but as far as the public knows…La Toya and Jeffre didn’t become engaged until 2013. So, take that info with a grain of salt. Moving on…
What MJ’s Estate’s Claims Phillips ‘Stole’ In New Lawsuit
It’s unclear why it’s taken MJ’s estate thirteen years to make these claims. Nevertheless, according to MJ’s estate…amid the confusion and drama that occurred at MJ’s home shortly after his death, Jeffre Phillips seized the opportunity to snatch up many personal belongings of Michael’s.
The lawsuit states that Jeffre stayed at Michael’s home — located in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA — for nine days, soon after MJ died. The estate seemingly suggests that he probably knew he’d be able to get away with his alleged heist due to the many distractions that were taking place inside the home at that time.
According to the court docs, Jeffre hit up MJ’s home for very specific items like, ‘MJ’s iPhone, California drivers license, prescription pill bottles with pills inside and some clothes.’ But there’s more…the estate also claims Jeffre jacked some of Michael’s handwritten notes; MJ’s briefcase, stuffed with business and personal papers; video cameras; hard drives; and computers.
The weirdest items the estate claims Jeffre stole, are the pajamas MJ had own in his final hours — which the paramedics apparently had taken off Michael’s body as they were attempting to save his life; as well as the resuscitator tube that appeared to have been used on Michael at that time.
At this time, neither Jeffre Phillips, La Toya Jackson, nor any other Jackson sibling has spoken publicly about the estate’s latest ‘theft’ claims. It’s also worth noting that it’s unclear if La Toya currently has any dealings with Jeffre’ – personally or professionally. Only time will tell, maybe.
May Michael Jackson continue to rest in peace.
