Janet Jackson’s former business managers have dismissed a lawsuit for $240,000

Janet Jackson has one less concern to fret about, as all charges against her have been dismissed. The musician recorded a significant victory in court when a debt collector abandoned their six-figure litigation against her.

Janet Jackson and her companies were initially sued by the Creditors Adjustment Bureau in 2023 for neglecting to pay $238,593.88 to her former management firm for services rendered.

The balance that Janet Jackson was allegedly owed was allegedly due on February 24, 2021.

The Creditors Adjustment Bureau submitted court documents on August 3 informing the court that it was abandoning all claims against the mother of one.

The body declared that the claims were dismissed with prejudice, which meant that all the details of the case could not be refiled in the future.

The organization filed a lawsuit against Janet and her entities, including Juggernaut Productions, Rhythm Nation, JDJ Entertainment, Queendom Inc., and Black Doll Inc., in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The Bureau was assigned debt owed to Nigro Karlin Segal Feldstein & Bolno, Janet’s former business management firm, according to them. She was accused of neglecting to pay the sum due on February 24, 2021, and requested that the amount owed be held in addition to a 10% interest rate.

The body clarified that their attempts to locate her and serve her papers for months had been unsuccessful. In Touch reported that Janet’s counsel clarified and elaborated that she was “a recording artist who resides in London” and had been residing in the United Kingdom on a work permit since 2021.

In 2023, the performer was finally served.

Nevertheless, they were able to serve the artist’s legal documents while she was abroad in October of last year. Ronald Richards, her counsel, defended her against the allegations upon receiving the lawsuit, stating that:

“They have been working with a distant former manager who referred a bill to collections that was resolved years ago due to some errors that were made with Ms. Jackson’s account.”

The lawyer clarified that if Janet’s case was allocated for collections and they were in court as the assignee, they would be met with a shocking surprise, as the claim had been resolved years prior to the firm’s acquisition and was beyond the statute of limitations.

Janet’s legal team pledged to file a cross-complaint against the actual management firm, recognizing that their actions would be counterproductive if they were to file a complaint. He further stated, “In order to circumvent the legal fee expenses, parties assign weak claims to collection.”

“Janet Jackson ensures that all of her vendors are compensated and that they adhere to a high standard of care.” Richards clarified that she will not reimburse administrators who fail to fulfill their contractual obligations or have improperly assessed fees.

A lawyer who represented her companies also contended that the Bureau had “refused, failed, and/or neglected to mitigate its alleged damages, and therefore, cannot recover against Defendants, whether as alleged or otherwise.”

The Working Relationship Between Janet Jackson and Her Business Managers

In August 2017, The Blast reported that Janet signed a business management services agreement with David Weise and Associates.

The organization identified itself as one of the “largest management firms in the country” and stated that it has extensive experience collaborating with personalities and entertainers.

“We work alongside the world’s top artists in music, film, and television, as well as athletes, executives, entrepreneurs, and other high achievers, offering a sophisticated range of concierge-style services to meet their lifestyle management needs,” according to them.

They accused her of failing to pay the complete amount for their contribution to her career advancement.

In 2018, the celebrity was involved in an additional lawsuit.

In 2018, Janet and her brother, Randy Jackson, were accused of owing her former manager, Danny O’Donovan, after being named in another lawsuit.

In 2016, the siblings employed him as the “State of the World Tour” and agreed to pay him $250,000 per month for a period of 17 months, according to Donovan. manager

According to the former manager, the initial five months were uneventful, with timely payments; however, there was a sudden cessation of payments.

Donovan demanded $300,000 in compensation after the delay persisted for an additional year, as per his account.
