VIA EUR:

It’s been 26 years since Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video was released, and the woman who played his love interest is just now filing a lawsuit claiming she hasn’t been paid her share of royalties [click here to read].

TMZ.com reports that Ola Ray is suing Jackson and his production company to receive her cut of profits from the groundbreaking 13 minute clip, in which her character watches her boyfriend (Jackson) turn into a dancing zombie [click here to read].

We spoke to Ola Ray’s attorney, who tells us the former Playboy Playmate is suing for breach of contract,” TMZ stated. “We’re told Ola’s not sure exactly how much she’s owed — her accountants will figure that out.”

    guess she want get that now rip micheal

    She waits until now. C’mon. She has to be broke and/or jumping on the band wagon to get loot from him. Funny part is – he has nothing now! His Neverland ranch has tons of stuff up for auction. Even the front gates! So, wish her well but doubt she’ll get some huge retro pay. For waiting so long her name is now Mrs. DuMass. It’s French. ;)

    she should have sued, right after he settled his 1st case. he should send her a per of his peeny loafers and call it even.

    She wants to get Mikey for every penny he has left, after paying those parents off. Why, 26 years later, I have no idea, myself, especially since I’ve read interviews post-Thriller, where she’s had nothing but kind words for Jacko. Somebody probably got in her ear and said, “GIRRRL, you KNOW you can sue Michael, right? You ain’t doin’ shyt, you better get that money!”

  • 5-7-2009 1:17 am

    she has sued him about 30 times for this…

    Why the hell would she wait this long to sue over some damn royalties……..Thriller is over 20 years old….this just let’s you know just how bad the economy has gotten…….

  • 5-6-2009 10:54 pm
