Randy Jackson's Neverland Chaos?
Randy Jackson's Neverland Chaos
In the never-ending chaos at the Neverland Ranch, Michael Jackson’s publicist was fired without notice or personal contact yesterday by his brother Randy.
Randy Jackson, considered desperate to hold on to some kind of power in his brother’s organization after being relieved of all financial responsibilities this week, issued a statement on his Web site around 6 p.m. last night.
The statement, written by Randy’s girlfriend, Taunya Ziklie, read: “MJJ Productions regretfully announces the termination of Raymone Bain and Davis, Bain & Associates. We thank you for your services.”
Sources close to Bain say that she received the news when a reporter called and told her he’d seen it on the Web site. Bain has been the only link to Michael Jackson for more than 2,000 journalists waiting around Santa Maria for a verdict in the singer’s child molestation case.
According to insiders, her contract is with Jackson himself and not MJJ Productions. She is said to have last spoken with Michael around 2 p.m. on Friday after she faxed him drafts of some proposed statements she’d prepared for post-verdict release.
The sudden dismissal of Bain — which we reported on the FOX News Channel yesterday morning but was later denied, only to be confirmed — will cause an incredible amount of chaos as the jury deliberations drag on.
Bain, despite her vagueness during press conferences thanks to a lack of information, has managed nevertheless to keep the troops calm when rumors have run rampant about Jackson’s health or status.
On the other hand, Randy Jackson is seen by Neverland insiders as trying to isolate his already fearful and nervous brother by cutting him off from confidantes.
In recent weeks, Bain had established what was considered a better-than-average relationship with Jackson, speaking to him several times a day by phone and often visiting him at the ranch. This has no doubt been frustrating for Randy, who has spent an equal amount of time spending what’s left of his brother’s money and trying to install his own staff — including the greatly disliked Ziklie — at Neverland.

"Raymone Bain" Flying Home To Washington D.C.
Michael Jackson's publicist, Raymone K. Bain, has left the building. She checked out of the Santa Maria Holiday Inn at 3 a.m. Sunday morning and headed to LAX for a flight back to Washington D.C.
Bain was dismissed by Jackson's camp via a Web Site message on Friday evening, followed by letter delivered to her room. According to sources, she was never able to reach the singer to confirm her firing, which was executed by Jackson's brother Randy Jackson.
There is no word on who will represent Jackson when more than 2,000 journalists show up Monday morning at court while the jury continues deliberations. Some people speculate that Debra Opri, an unpaid attorney who makes statements for Jackson's parents Katherine and Joseph, could be next in a long line of misinformed spokespeople. The name Bubbles the Chimp has also been mentioned.
