An antiques and furniture store on Thursday sued pop star Michael Jackson for allegedly failing to pay a nearly $180,000 bill.

Kamad Enterprise, which owns Mayfair Gallery, claimed Jackson owes $178,875 of the $378,875 in merchandise he allegedly purchased in May, according to a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Mayfair Gallery, located off Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, sells mostly 19th-century European furniture.

Jackson bought 20 items, including a malachite urn, a Louis XVI-style bust clock, silver bread holder and an “Austrian gold-painted dancing girl,” the complaint said.

An attorney for Jackson, Brian Oxman, said Thursday he had not reviewed the complaint.

“Like other proceedings involving Michael Jackson, we’ll look at it carefully and deal with it in a professional manner,” Oxman said.

It was the second legal action against Jackson this week alleging he failed to pay bills.

J. Marc Schaffel, a former producer and business associate, sued the singer Tuesday, claiming Jackson owes him more than $3 million in loans and producing fees.
