'They're The Three Stooges': Michael Jackson's Brother Slams Estate Executors, Re-Ignites Battle Over 'Forged' Will

The tension lingers between Michael Jackson's brother Randy and officials looking over his late brother's estate (executors John Branca and John McClain, and overseeing attorney Howard Weitzman), with Jackson calling the trio "The Three Stooges" while appearing on a podcast over the weekend.
In it, he groused to a disbarred California lawyer named Brian Oxman that he believes there's flimflam ongoing in the disbursement of the late Thriller singer's millions.
“My family is not happy with McClain and Branca," Randy said. "We don’t believe the will is real. We don’t support it. We’re not happy.”
He peppered in a few controversial comments about tax issues with the estate (“I know something is wrong,” he said) and admitted he thinks “someone” instructed Dr. Conrad Murray to keep his brother in a medicated haze.

And as is the case with the showbiz family, there seems to be a bit of infighting, as Randy admitted, “a few of my brothers and sisters, I’m not getting along with right now.”
Randy was at the forefront of the controversy last summer after grandmother Katherine was infamously whisked to Arizona, causing a domino effect that led to her losing partial custody of her grandchildren Paris, Prince and Blanket.
