Excerpts from Kenny Ortega/Randy Phillips/ Paul Gongaware leaked emails, posted by @MUZIKfactoryTWO:

..........

Reading ALL AEG emails re MJ. while I was advised not to publicize them, I will tweet a sentence or 2 if very interesting.

AEG meeting w/ MJ on Sep 27, 2008 at MGM. Before ever meeting MJ, both AEG and Colony are "skeptical as to whether MJ will really work." Before ever meeting or talking to MJ, AEG says "net $132M to Mikey. this isn't a # MJ will wanna hear. He thinks he is so much bigger than that.

Wow!!!! " IT WILL BE EASIER FOR TOHME TO GET YOUR DEAL DONE.....BEFORE MJ AGREES." says a Colony Capital Rep to AEG.

RP sent Tohme AEG "letter agreement" (contract) on Oct 27, 2008. Signature part is different than what we saw. It ONLY ask for MJ to sign.

AEG is concerned over MJ reputation over news about MJ saying he is too sick to go to London to testify in court for $7M Sheik Al Khalifa.

RP emailed TT on nov 18/08 "these stories make it sound like MJ skipped out on $7M debt. Release a statement to tell MJs side for positive coverage".

"I'm at home losing my mind over this MJ boxset! Thank you!" - Emails Arlyne Lewiston to RP who emails back " that's why I'm chasing him so hard."

Arlyne to RP: "but Randy when I saw him in concert yrs ago, he freaked me out in a bad way. He climbed into an oxygen tent during a Jam break."

Ima jump to March 2009 emails...

Roger Friedman directly emails to AEGs Randy Phillips n vice versa. Friedman is pleading w/ RP on March 3, 2009 for a story.

Here we go....MJ is drunk..."I screamed so loud the walls were shaking" emails. "MJ is locked in his bedroom drunk and despondent. Tohme and I are trying to sober him up and get him to the press conference. with his hair dresser/makeup artist." - Emailed RP to Tim Leiweke who emailed back " are you kidding me?" This is on March 5, 2009

"I screamed at him so loud the walls are shaking. Tohme and I have dressed him & they are finishing his hair and then we are rushing to O2. This is the scariest thing I've ever seen.
He is an emotionally paralyzed mess riddled w self loathing now that it is show time.
he is scared to death. Right now I just want to get through this press conference." - RP to Tim Leiweke

Tohme emails RP on March 5 2009 saying "Fucking Roger Friedman!" For a story titled "Michael: doing it for my kids."

Little did Tohme knew, Roger Friedman's source was RP who exchanged many emails with Roger that day, including during O2 press conference.

RF: everything OK?
RP: stuck in London traffic
RF: ok. Where is MJ?
RP: in the van with me.
RF: when will conference start?
RP: 10 minutes

"Done at $150k per month as per MJ. He needs about 10 days to wind down his practice then will be full time." - Paul Gongaware, March 6, 2009

KO to PG:
"Are you aware that MJ doc didn't permit him to attend rehearsals yesterday? Are Randy and Frank aware of this? Please have them stay on top of his health situation. Without invading MJ privacy, it may be a good idea to talk with his doc to make sure everything MJ requires is in place. Who is responsible for MJ getting proper nourishment/vitamins/therapy everyday? The demands on this Guy are mentally and physically extraordinary! The show requirements exhaust 20 year olds. Pls don't underestimate the need to stay on top of this." - email from Kenny Ortega to Paul Gongaware was on Jun 14, 2009


Upon receiving KO's email PG sends his now infamous email "Frank and I discussed this already and requested a face to face meeting with the doc. We want to remind him that its AEG, not MJ who is paying his salary. We want him to understand what's expected of him. he [CM] has been dodging Frank so far." - PG to KO on June 14, 2008

June 14 KO again emails PG. this time its stern. He says no more calls to Travis P asking him to bring MJ to rehearsals when MJ is no-show:

"MJ needs to be told that its time to get real. He must take care of himself so that he can meet the schedule or there'll be consequences." - KO to PG and 'cc' to Travis

"I'm not being a drama queen here. MJ was sent home without stepping foot on stage. HE WAS A BASKET CASE. Kenny was concerned he'd embarrass himself on stage or worse, get hurt. the company is rehearsing now but the DOUBT is pervasive." - John Hougdahl to PG n RP on June 19th

Then at midnite after rehearsals KO sends a long n pressing msg to RP. this email was read on CM trial, available online.

RP says he'll bring Bridgette (MJ staff fr UK) to help MJ. He'll bring Frank who is with his daughter 4 father's day. He will find a therapist.

Worried RP asks KO "I am stymied on who to bring in as a therapist and how they can get through to him in such a short time?"

Kenny Ortega responds "I HONESTLY DONT THINK MJ IS READY BASED ON HIS CONTINUED PHYSICAL WEAKENING AND DEEPENING EMOTIONAL STATE."

"U can't imagine the harm and ramifications of stopping this show now. I'm not just talking abt AEG interests here but the myraid of stuff & lawsuits swirling around MJ that I crisis-manage everyday and also his well-being.

It's critical we surround Mike with love n support" - Randy Phillips
