Michael Jackson's cousin Trent claims restraining order filed by aunt Katherine is a result of family money grab
First he was accused of elder abuse by his aunt Katherine, which resulted in a restraining order.
And now Trent Jackson, 52, is hitting back with his own allegations that his recent restraining order filed by his 86-year-old aunt is actually an attempt to get him out of the way so other family members can pillage the family's fortune.
According to TMZ, sources claim that Trent insists he has done nothing wrong and claims that other family members simply want him out of the way to more effectively manipulate Katherine into dishing out more money.

However, the publication points out that many of his arguments seem to be based on incorrect assumptions.
Far from controlling the estate, Katherine in fact only gets a generous monthly stipend, while the family fortune is actually administered by conservators.
Their job is to ensure the money grows responsibly so it can support Michael's three kids and his chosen charities.
The Jackson family matriarch asked a Los Angeles court for the restraining order claiming that he was an 'abusive con-man,' according to an article by TMZ on Wedneday.

Katherine alleged in court documents that Trent had been manipulating her for years to gain control of her finances, live rent-free in her guest house and alienate her from her children.
The court papers also claimed that Trent, who is the son of husband Joe Jackson's brother, accessed her bank accounts without permission after acting as her driver for years.
'Trent was supposed to be her driver, but over time (he) has infiltrated Mrs. Jackson's business and personal affairs, even referring to himself as her 'house manager',' according to court documents obtained by the New York Daily News.
The court filing claimed that Trent has been regulating Katherine's interactions with her children by 'screening phone calls, not relaying messages, not allowing privacy during visits or phone calls.'

The court documents also alleged that Trent 'managed to get a key to her bedroom' and opens her door at will 'with no regard to her privacy'.
'Mrs. Jackson has to hide in her closet to speak to her kids so she can speak freely,' the filing stated.
Katherine took a trip to London to visit daughter Janet Jackson so Trent could be fired and removed from her guesthouse while she was away, the filing said.
'Mrs. Jackson wants to return home from London but is afraid to go home with Trent there. She fears he could physically harm her for terminating him,' court documents said.
