The estate was blindsided in January when Branca and his team learned about “Leaving Neverland,” a documentary produced by Britain’s Channel 4 and HBO that would premiere just a few weeks later at the Sundance Film Festival. Posted on December 23, 2013 at 1:47 pm by teammichael. "There are real world implications and repercussions when somebody says something like was said [in Leaving Neverland].". Branca had the advantage of being able to build on work he did decades earlier for Jackson, such as The Beatles catalog and the Sony record deal. We have made you wait long enough, you are probably thinking “What is this evidence you have”….Sorry i tend to get carried away a bit… Beside the fact Michaels mother told us Michael did not trust Branca because he believed he stole from him, besides the fact the siblings have been vocal, plus Michael father. Weitzman didn’t like hearing this from me, but he had no answer for it, either. Through the end of 2016, the estate has grossed more than $1.3 billion, according to the most recent court filings available. For me, that controversy has been settled in Mr. Branca’s favor. “The estate has been incredibly well run, the numbers speak for themselves,” said Zack O’Malley Greenburg, a senior editor of media and entertainment at Forbes who has reported extensively on the estate. “Michael and I in the 80s were quite the team,” Branca, now the co-executor of Jackson’s estate, said in an interview with The Associated Press from his Los Angeles office, where he reflected on the chaotic aftermath of Jackson’s death, the pile of debt that Jackson left, the deals that made his name skyrocket in value again, and challenges like the recent documentary “Leaving Neverland” that threatened to sink his reputation again. Branca and Michael Jackson had a long and multifaceted personal and professional relationship that, admittedly, was interrupted at certain points in their careers for various reasons. There were inevitable messes.
For Branca, 68, who knew Jackson personally and even once had the singer serve as his best man, the documentary hit below the belt. What both Weitzman and Greenburg somehow ignored, though, was that in February 2003, when he was terminated as Michael Jackson’s attorney, Branca had been ordered to surrender “all” documents in his possession, not just the 2002 will, but the 1997 and 1995 wills as well. http://www.scribd.com/doc/102043792/Interfor-Report-John-BrancaTo be quite honest with you, we don’t blame these bloggers for the misinformation they have been regurgitated for the past four years. Michael Jackson performs during halftime of a 52-17 Dallas Cowboys win over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVII on Jan. 31, 1993 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. Michael Jackson estate co-executor John Branca spoke publicly for the first time about Leaving Neverland on April 16 and indicated that additional litigation -- this time against the documentary's director Dan Reed -- may be forthcoming. Hopefully the real truth will come out, other facts will come out and people will pay attention to both sides of the story," said Branca. Not very professional of anyone to do that… The following we belive to be “True Facts” because Weitzman is simply making an innocent statement in John Brancas defense regarding the “Fake Will.” Accidentally by mistake his gives us some information that is crucial in the hiring firing of Branca..
All of those questions were moot because in the end the struggle wasn’t about right or wrong, good or evil, justice or injustice.
What this all comes to I have no certain knowledge. Unbeknownst to me at the time, Branca was talking to a reporter from Forbes named Zack O’Malley Greenburg, who had just written a story for his magazine that would be published even as Weitzman and I were talking.

I see no legitimate basis for insulting Mr. Kane and Mr. Katz with the suggestion that they would lie at John Branca’s behest and I accept that Branca did in fact meet with Michael Jackson at the Forum and likely was rehired as one of Jackson’s entertainment attorneys. It was then, he said, that “all hell broke loose.”. There have been minor missteps. The documentary led to some minor cancellations of his music from radio stations and other entities, but no real widespread, worldwide dip in his popularity. “We had to show the real Michael the real artist, and not the tabloid sensation,” Branca said.

As good as we might be as managers, we could not have done this for Tommy James and the Shondells,” Branca said with a laugh. “He’s out-earned pretty much every living entertainer since his death.”.

Looking at the video of rehearsals for Jackson’s planned tour, the answer came quickly. "Because the laws of defamation are what they are, there is nothing we can do or say," Branca said. The result was “This Is It,” the movie drawn from the rehearsals that brought in $261.2 million in worldwide box office, became the highest-grossing concert film and music documentary of all time, and proved that Jackson’s value was once again sky-high.
