Paris Jackson has reportedly filed a motion against two men running her late father Michael Jackson’s estate.

The model recently fights the executors over money and compares them to the “Wizard of Oz” in a court document on October 3.

Paris’ lawyer said in a document that the “executors admit making six-figure, extra-contractual payments in 2018, and they likely paid millions more in undisclosed gifts over the past seven years,” per US WEEKLY.

“That conduct, born of comfort and arrogance, is indefensible, and Executors have done nothing to indicate otherwise,” mentioned the attorney in the motion.

It read, “Instead, like the Wizard of Oz, they demand that the Court trust them blindly, refusing to let anyone look behind the curtain.”

The motion stated, “Executors’ only attempt to justify these payments consists of a conclusory assertion that the payment of gratuities to music lawyers is ‘not uncommon.’”

Paris’ lawyer explained that the executors make “no attempt to establish the veracity of this self-serving assertion, no attempt to justify the amount of any payment, and never address their payments for purportedly unbilled work”.

Late Michael’s daughter revealed the “executors had no right to fight her petition, especially since all of her evidence was found in the executors’ own court filings”.

In the motion, Paris attorney pointed out that late pop singer’s daughter has the right to ask questions in the case.

“Indeed, it should be obvious that Executors are not immune from criticism based on misconduct disclosed in their filings,” her lawyer noted.

She claimed the executors did not have the authority to make the “extra-contractual gifts” and “did not calculate the 2018 gifts based on any metric and initially failed to disclose the gifts in their initial filings”.

“This record would be highly problematic even if the extra-contractual payments could, theoretically, be justified, and they cannot,” added Paris’ lawyer.
