Karl Rove-Backed Group's Latest Effort Unlikely, Harsh
Hal Jackson Dead At 96
Michael Jackson's long-time spokesperson Raymone Bain has jump-started her own radio show.
Last year, Bain sued the King of Pop for $44 million in unpaid business earnings, mostly from Jackson's London concert tour deal, which Bain was cut out of.
'The Raymone Bain Show,' which kicked off March 24, follows the Washington, D.C. based P.R. exec's slant on politics and issues of the day as well as conversations with celebrities and interviews with newsmakers and entertainment figures. The show will air exclusively on the Web at www.BDIGIX.com.
According to Bain, the show will "go behind the scene, and speak to those who are in the know...and, who make a difference."
The Spelman College alumna, who has represented Marion Barry, Serena Williams and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, worked with the 'Thriller' singer for six years.
In her 2009 lawsuit against Jackson, she claims to have hired staff, "averted imminent foreclosure" of several of Jackson's properties, supervised moves from France to Ireland to Las Vegas, and oversaw his living expenses and payroll. She also is taking responsibility for launching the bestselling "Thriller" 25th anniversary re-release, settling legal claims that threatened ownership of Jackson's song catalogs, and refinancing his loans.
After all of that, in 2007, she alleged, the music legend stopped answering her calls.
With that said, don' t expect the Davis, Bain & Associates Inc. partner not to divulge information about her business relationship with Jackson on the upcoming show, as well.
"Will I ever discuss my friend and former longtime boss, Michael Jackson? You bet I will, and will include creditable Jackson insiders in my discussions," she stated.
No word on the status of Bain's lawsuit against the Jackson estate, but her show plans to continue to air every Wednesday from 10:00 a.m until 12:00 p.m. EST.

Ms. Bain filed her lawsuit BEFORE Mr. Jackson
died, in May 2009. Second, Ms. Bain has not said a negative word about Mr. Jackson-not one. In fact, she's been adamantly defending him since the day he died. She said clearly that he was not abusing drugs LONG BEFORE the autopsy report was released confirming this. She was on with Geraldo every week. I listened to her show. She's still defending Mr. Jackson. Business is Business. If she's owed, she should be paid, just like you would want to be paid. The fact is, this woman defended him to the nth degree when he was on trial, during his life and after he died. Who did you see on all the footage with Michael Jackson after he died all over the world on every TV network? Raymone Bain. Business is business. What should be asked is, if she wasn't paid for what she brought to the table, who was? If not her, then who? I bet Michael Jackson didn't even know. I don't think Michael Jackson would have allowed her to be messed over. Read the papers. The man was being pumped with Propofol. Look at all the Creditor Claims now being filed
after he died, by hundreds of people who probably didn't even know Michael Jackson. I'm praying for this sista and the family and wish them well. Ms. Bain, keep defending Michael Jackson until justice is served. I love hearing you as you make all African American women proud with your strenght and
eloquence.
