In response to a flurry of published reports, the singer’s spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, issued a statement on June 28 branding the reports as “untrue, defamatory and malicious in nature."
Among the allegations denied by Bain was that Jackson was confined to his bed, or relying on any sort of medication, "including painkillers."
"Mr. Jackson is not bedridden nor on any type of medication…including painkillers," E! News quoted Bain, as saying.
"In fact, Mr. Jackson is doing very well, and conducted a meeting with his advisors yesterday, which included former Attorney General Benjamin R. Civiletti and Reverend Jesse L. Jackson Sr. among others," she added.
Bain also refuted assumptions that Jackson has doubts that his older brother Randy has been stealing from his bank account behind his back.
"Mr. Jackson does not believe that his brother Randy Jackson has stolen monies from him, nor does he believe that Randy, or any of his family members, would ever steal from him,” she said.
Bain also cleared up rumors about Jackson’s reported departure from Las Vegas.
"Mr. Jackson has not 'left' Las Vegas nor is he being 'evicted' from his residence in Las Vegas. He decided not to exercise the option to purchase the house. Period,” she said.
Bain said that there was never any press release issued in regards to a European tour, and added, "Despite reports to the contrary, Mr. Jackson is currently in the studio putting finishing touches on his music."
Finally, Bain deem any reports that Jackson is either losing or selling his precious share in the Sony/ATV catalogue "ludicrous" and "without merit."
She indicated Jackson's attorneys would be dealing with the individuals responsible for spreading falsehoods about the singer.
Bain also denied that Jackson has lost or sold his share of the ATV/Sony partnership, and says that any reports to the contrary are "ludicrous, without merit, and are being written without sufficient personal financial information to make such an unwarranted pronouncement."
