Re: MJ Estate sues Tohme Tohme / Tohme countersues / Tohme's complaint @pg 14
I don't know if he meant sold before MJ's passing that he meant "his own" art of MJ, like The Book and the one LMP?
Those two pieces were sold while MJ was alive. They did give some art to that hospital, MJ's kids and LaToya were there when their unveiled the art. He says that he can sell the art but he can't, he goes according to Tohme's letter, but the estate is fighting to get it reversed as Tohme had no right to give them away.
Things that makes me wonder about B L-S said in the interview:
STRONG: Well, during the time that he was pretty much studying to do these concerts, I had very little contact with him. So the contact that I did have, it was upbeat and enthusiastic. He would call me early hours of the morning and leave me some fantastic messages. So I never knew that he ever had any problems. But I do know that over the years that, you know, he would trust people and he would not do any due diligence or sometimes his inner feelings would -- he wouldn't listen to them. And I think he had a lot of trust that he should have questioned.
I suppose when MJ was busy with rehearsals, it would have been beginning of the 2009. If so, would he tell Tohme to give away his art to Brett early that year (he had very little contact on MJ at that time)when Michael called to June G in previous September telling her that she was fearing of Tohme?
I checked that Tohme's letter to B L-S was date Nov 17 2008, and in Sep same year he said he was fearing Tohme?
Funny that Tohme letter is dated the same day when Michael's court case started in London. He wasn't in London but asked to give his testimony from unspecified location. So wouldn't Tohme have other thing to think than giving away MJ's art that day?
The whole thing doesn't make any sense to me?
Tohme tried to sell MJ's stuff in Juliens auction without Michael knowing, and then he gives away MJ's art?
I honestly don't think Michael knew anything about Tohme giving it away, just like he didn't know many other things Tohme did behind of his back.
Another thing in his interview:
STRONG: Well, Michael spent a good part of 25 years making this art. And it was like a private world for him. While a lot of the public thought that he may have been doing things that they thought he shouldn't be doing, he was actually creating art. And it was like a world for him to -- to retreat into, into this spiritual type of feeling where he would express his ideas. And he absolutely loved it, and it made him feel good.
He says MJ spent 25 years making his art, keeping it for himself. In comes Tohme and gives it all away!
Michael had another teacher too, David Nordahl, I don't think I've heard him saying that Michael gave his painting to him?
Also B L-S talking about what Michael wanted to build this monument to LV and was relying success of TII.
We all heard that tape that Murray recorded Michael saying what he wanted to do with the money he gets from TII?
He wanted to build children's hospital, I heard no words of chapel?
One more thing from Tohme's letter, he wrote:
Please let me know when you have the art prints ready for Michael to sign so....so ready to display at any times for galleries and museums.
That letter was dated Nov 17 2008, and by Michael's death, they still weren't signed. It doesn't sound like they were going to be either.
Huh, that was a long post
Just a few of my thoughts rattling around my head about this very curious case of Tohme.
