Family friend to sue Tito Jackson

Tito Jackson and other family members were looking at homes in Devon
Tito Jackson, the brother of superstar Michael, is being taken to court by a family friend over an alleged debt.

The action is being taken by martial arts school owner Matt Fiddes, from Barnstaple, Devon.

The £12,051 claim, filed in Carlisle county court, is said to be the balance of a loan of £20,551 made to Mr Jackson, 55, earlier this year.

Mr Fiddes claims the loan was to pay for flights and expenses for a visit and television programme in the UK.

Mr Jackson, with other family members, also visited north Devon to look at the possibility of buying a home there.

Mr Fiddes' solicitor, Nicholas Richards, from Carlisle, said the claim had been issued in the town's county court.

"The presumption is it will lead to a trial unless there is a court settlement along the way," he said.


Mr Fiddes helped bring superstar Michael Jackson to Exeter in 2002

Mr Fiddes said he had built a close and personal relationship with the Jackson family over the past 10 years after working as Michael's bodyguard.

"I have not filed the lawsuit proceedings for the money, it is more about the respect and principle of the matter," Mr Fiddes said.

In 2002, Mr Fiddes was believed to be instrumental in bringing Michael Jackson to Devon to take part in an event at Exeter City's home ground St James' Park attended by thousands.

[Magical_Child]

I'm still in shock, as I thought they were really close friends, wonders if we will ever get to see the TV show or the footage that was filmed :hmm:

That'd be a pretty big typo. :mellow:

But... yeah... this should go in the family section, really...

It mentions Michael because the guy got to know the family through Michael (I think?) but I think that's it...

[pimboli]

what typo? :mellow:

-laughs-

LOL

:mellow: Maybe everyone thinks anyone related to Michael must have money

[Dutchie]

I think Mr. Fiddes is just pissed off -just like many other idiots- that Tito couldn't get him closer to Michael. And, so he finds an excuse to sue.

Yeah :rolleyes: sadly that has been the Jacksons problem since they got famous:yes::sad:

yes. the man was a celeb wanabe. running to the papers making false claims about his releationship with MJ and the jacksons. trying to make it out like they were all best friends. then again what do you expect from a friend of uri geller. if this keeps the jacksons away from this fool then great.

[sammichael]

I don't know what happened between MJ and Uri Geller :no2: But yeah anything to fool the poor old Jackson's :sad:

Uri Gellar was the one who introduced Michael to Martin Bashir and told him he should do an interview with him.

Martin Bashir has done interviews with Princess Diana and apparently basically screwed her over with it, as well. Sooo, basically Uri was giving Michael an interviewer that has already betrayed big celebrities in the past.

I'd be pissed if I was Michael, too. ;)
