TSG loves this lawsuit! Janet Jackson's former chef,
one Ricardo Macchi, claims that the singer and
boyfriend Rene Elizondo illegally used Macchi's name
to obtain a variety of prescriptions from a Malibu
pharmacy. The Los Angeles Superior Court file in
Macchi v. Jackson contains two marvelous exhibits,
both of which are reproduced here along with a key
excerpt from Macchi's original 1999 complaint. Seems
that Macchi realized his name had been hijacked when
he stumbled across a prescription in Jackson's
refrigerator with his name on it. Then Macchi got a
printout from the local pharmacy of other scrips
issued in his name and carrying Jackson's Pacific
Coast Highway address. In his lawsuit, Macchi alleges
that Jackson and Elizondo--acting in concert with two
doctors--used his name so that the couple wouldn't be
connected to the embarrassing prescriptions (and we're
not talking about that Claritin or Retin-A). The duo
surely was more preoccupied with the Recombivax,
Zoloft, Revia, Zovirax, Pondimin, and Effexor. Highlights from the court file include:
Page 1: Found in Janet's fridge. Pages 2-3: The pharmaceutical inventory. Pages 4-9: Chef cries foul.
