Woman sues Michael Jackson's estate for $10m after claiming he gave her herpes

A woman has filed two bizarre claims in Michael Jackson's estate, after declaring that he gave her the STD herpes, almost forty years ago.
The disgruntled woman says that the late King Of Pop 'ruined her life' and is demanding $10m from his estate, according to website TMZ.
Shellie Smith says that she is certain that she caught the disease from Jackson, as he was her only partner.
New claim: A woman has claimed that the late Michael Jackson gave her herpes, almost forty years ago
'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,' she said.
'At this time, I am unable to have a full and vibrant life due to the complications of this disease.'
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.
Smith's claim is completely unrelated to a recent case, where an unnamed A-list male star was sued for $20million after a former lover was allegedly infected with herpes in Las Vegas.
And this isn't the first time Smith has filed claims against Jackson.
In January 2010, Smith's claim that she was secretly married to Jackson and was entitled to spousal support, was promptly rejected.
Smith's latest declaration comes after the deadline for filing a creditor's claim in Jackson's case has expired.
Jackson passed away at his Los Angeles home in October 2009.
Smith's claims also come after a male A-list celebrity was sued after knowingly exposed his sexual partner to the herpes virus, according to a lawsuit.
The star - who is worth in excess of $100m - is not named, but is described as having 'substantial fame internationally'.
The court documents describe how the victim - who is not named or identified as a man or a woman - met the celebrity in Las Vegas this year and has now contracted herpes.
Lawyers for the star and the victim are currently negotiating a settlement.

Sometimes I get the impression that these people really don't have what to do, so they come up with all sorts of preposterous allegations. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> Oh well, there will always be some lunatic with a "shocking" (and completely crazy) secret to reveal.
God only knows how many females got infected with the idea of having sex with Michael.
Must have been an existing real disease at times.
And we - aren't we not infected with the hoax virus?
Now this is another point of view on the article and what TMZ et al are doing since quite some time.
Viral marketing, viral advertising, or marketing buzz are buzzwords referring to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of viruses or computer viruses. It can be delivered by word of mouth or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet.[1] Viral marketing may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, ebooks, brandable software, images, or text messages.
The goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to create viral messages that appeal to individuals with high social networking potential (SNP) and that have a high probability of being presented and spread by these individuals and their competitors in their communications with others in a short period of time.
The term "viral marketing" has also been used pejoratively to refer to stealth marketing campaigns—the unscrupulous use of astroturfing online combined with undermarket advertising in shopping centers to create the impression of spontaneous word of mouth enthusiasm.[2]
Where available, the most successful viral marketing campaigns exhibited an inherently infectious product/service/campaign, or offered an incentive, or several best practices combined.
The concept of guerrilla marketing was invented as an unconventional system of promotions that relies on time, energy and imagination rather than a big marketing budget. Typically, guerrilla marketing campaigns are unexpected and unconventional, potentially interactive, and consumers are targeted in unexpected places. The objective of guerrilla marketing is to create a unique, engaging and thought-provoking concept to generate buzz, and consequently turn viral. The term was coined and defined by Jay Conrad Levinson in his book Guerrilla Marketing. The term has since entered the popular vocabulary and marketing textbooks.
Guerrilla marketing involves unusual approaches such as intercept encounters in public places, street giveaways of products, PR stunts, or any unconventional marketing intended to get maximum results from minimal resources. More innovative approaches to Guerrilla marketing now utilize cutting edge mobile digital technologies to engage the consumer and create a memorable brand experience.
No matter what TMZ e.g. are writing about Michael, it will spread by the power of word of mouth into all social networks watching TMZ. Low cost immediate distribution of a message - Harvey can be confident now.
There's more news channels like this. Keep watching. <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I don't excatly get the point. You say this article is part of a guerilla marketing campain, but I don't see the purpose of it. Just to keep Michael's name up or what?
Have you seen this? What's with people? Like they don't realize how ridiculous and money hungry they appear? Is there no more integrity in the world anymore? Sometimes you just don't have the words to express the disgust you have at people and their stupid, stupid, claims...and how convenient now, as she knows Michael can't defend himself. Geez. the extent people will go to, for money. <!-- s:x -->:x<!-- s:x -->
LOL..you're kidding? Omigod...I guess that's what they call entertainment in it's true sense. Geez....If I got paid for every single insane story I could conjure up in my imagination about anything in the world, I'd be a billionaire by now...it's insane isn't it..

It is obvious that the claim is ridiculous and the context almost funny. I choose to get the lecturing part, prevent herpes.
