A woman has sued Michael Jackson’s estate for $10 million, claiming that the late pop icon gave her the sexually transmitted disease herpes, almost 40-years-ago.
The woman in question is Shellie Smith, who has said that the late King Of Pop “ruined her life” and is now demanding a pay-out from his estate, reported TMZ online. Smith says that she is certain that she caught the disease from Jackson, as he was her only partner.
“In 1979, I started having sexual relations with the decadent. Shortly thereafter, I began to get blisters on my legs, face and lips. He was my only partner. At this time, I am unable to have a full and vibrant life due to the complications of this disease,” she said.
But then in Smith’s second claim, her facts are changed, as she alleges that she was diagnosed with “Herpes Simplex” after having sex with Jackson in 1977. “Michael knew I was getting blisters on my body, however, he continued to have sex with me,” she said.
