EXCLUSIVE: Concert Producer Asks Court To Strike Michael Jackson's Mom's Lawsuit

AEG — the producer behind Michael Jackson’s ill-fated comeback concerts in London — is asking a Los Angeles court to throw out Katherine Jackson’s lawsuit against them, Breaking Celebrity News has learned.
The Jackson matriarch has accused AEG of causing her son's death by pushing him to rehearse for the concerts, despite the singer’s poor health.
However, lawyers for AEG have filed an objection to the suit, which "tests the legal sufficiency to the pleading".
Breaking Celebrity News has obtained the documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In the court documents, AEG -- and Jackson's longtime collaborator Kenny Ortega — state: "The complaint gets one thing right, Michael Jackson's death on June 25, 2009 was a tragic event. It was tragic for his children. It was tragic for his fans. And it was tragic for the Defendants here, who had labored tirelessly to make a reality of Michael Jackson's dream of a triumphant return to the world's stage.
