November 25th, 2005JACKSON TO FIGHT ANTI-SEMITIC ACCUSATIONS WITH JEWISH LAWYER
MICHAEL JACKSON’s Jewish attorney has vowed to defend his pop star client
against accusations of anti-Semitism.
America’s Anti-Defamation League (ADL) demanded the THRILLER singer
apologise for allegedly making a series of anti-Semitic comments on a
voicemail message, which was aired on US TV show GOOD MORNING AMERICA on
Tuesday (23NOV05).
The message was purportedly left by Jackson for his former advisor DIETER
WIESNER two years ago (03) - Wiesner is currently suing his former employer
for fraud and breach and contract. He is seeking $64 million (GBP35.5
million) in damages.
But Jackson’s lawyer BRIAN OXMAN, who is himself a Jew, insists he has never
seen a hint of anti-Semitism in the 15 years he has represented the Jackson
family.
He tells the New York Daily News, “I have been with the Jackson family for
15 years, and I’m Jewish. I have never once seen anything anti-Semitic from
him or from his family.”
