LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson's ex-wife Deborah Rowe claims a Florida woman should be found liable for nearly $500,000 in damages for statements she made in a television interview.
Rowe sued Rebecca White in July for her comments to the show `Extra' claiming Rowe didn't want custody of her two children with Jackson, and was only interested in getting money from his family.
Rowe, the mother of Jackson's two oldest children, reached an agreement with the singer's mother on custody in August.
She has some visitation rights and no money is said to have changed hands for the arrangement.
The $490,000 figure was included in a statement of damages filed in Los Angeles last week.
White has not responded to the lawsuit and Rowe is seeking a default judgment against her.
