Psychic sues over claims he betrayed Jackson

Uri Geller is to sue America’s leading television news channel after it broadcast an allegation that he had betrayed his friend Michael Jackson for £100,000.

The legal action is the latest controversy to emerge from the claims and counter-claims arising out of the events that followed Jackson’s death last year.

In his case for defamation, the psychic entertainer says he was victim of a vicious email campaign after Michael Jackson’s dermatologist publicly accused him on CNN of profiting from the controversial documentary of the pop star’s life fronted by Martin Bashir. Geller, a British citizen, is bringing a High Court action in the UK after failing to win an adequate apology from CNN for what he says are totally false and unfounded allegations.
