Because a day without MJ legal news is like a day without sunshine anymore...
A photographer who had a physical run-in with Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe back in July is now suing her in small claims court.
The incident happened in front of a Chinese restaurant in Lancaster, California shortly after Jackson died. A swarm of paparazzi swarmed Rowe asking about the kids; Rowe responded to one photographer, "Are you ready to have your butt kicked?"
Now, that photographer, Ed Frommer, wants $7,500 in damages from Rowe, claiming she lied to police, telling them he scratched her face, pulled her arm and struck her in the back. Frommer tells us, "You can see from the video, I didn't touch her face" adding, "anything that happened was not intentional."
Frommer claims his reputation has taken some serious hits from the incident and he can't get work. The hearing is scheduled for January.
