It is my understanding #DianeDimond was the first to publicly release the 1994 Michael Jackson / Chandler settlement document that she obtained directly from the leaked source.

During Dimonds CourtTV exclusive (June 15th 2004) she announced to the world Michael Jackson paid $25million to the Chandler family.
Shortly after, a copy of the settlement document made it's way to various media outlets, but the $15,331,250 was mistakenly left unredacted.

In the days following Dimonds “bombshell exclusive” some media outlets simply echoed Dimonds claims that Jackson paid $25million without any verification.

While others, instead of just parroting Dimonds sensationalized, unsubstantiated claims that Jackson paid $25million, only reported on the amount they were able to verify ($15,331,250)

After an email exchange I had with Diane herself, she confirmed she obtained the settlement document straight from the Santa Barbara Court after receiving a tip that it was in a public file. A member of Jacksons legal team filed the final settlement agreement ⤵️

Listen to this voice clip of Diane Dimond talking about the settlement, then Listen again carefully to the first section.
Quote: “And there, several pages in where the actual figures, the AMOUNT of the settlement, which had been carelessly not redacted"

Before she starts reeling off the alleged amounts rumored to have been paid on top of the $15.331.250 (which were told to her by "informed sources") listen to how she exaggerates the (S) at the end of settlements.
It's seems like she added it on the end; last minute 🤔

In the voice clip you can hear Dimond speak of a signing bonus of "about $2million dollars" and what she heard from “good authority” regarding Larry Feldmans legal fees.
Why doesn't she have/cite the exact figures if her trusted source/good authority gave them to her?

This proves Diane Dimond did not receive nor has ever seen the settlement document in it's entirety with the (Settlement Payment) section unredacted (like some people believe) because if she had ⤵️

why is she using words like "about", why not cite the exact amounts as she did with the $15,331,250?
Dimond clearly states, “the AMOUNT of the SETTLEMENT (singular) was carelessly not redacted.”
The only carelessly not redacted figure shows $15,331,250.

Why would Dimond add to the $15,331,250 that is written in the settlement, with the extra money that was “rumoured” to her that Jackson had paid on the side.
A rumour has no proof. It is NOT a fact.

The FACT is, according to Diane Dimond herself, the total sum Michael Jackson paid to the Chandlers, as per the settlement agreement was $15,331,250 (carelessly not redacted)

Had there been any other agreements to pay any additional amounts, above and beyond the confession of judgment, it would have been listed in the same paragraph as the $15,331,250!
Really Diane, is that how it was sensationalized?

Its not about what's there; its about what isnt and what isnt there is a breakdown of any additional monies to be paid by Jackson at the time the settlement was signed. There are no other amounts redacted/pages missing at that point in the settlement as the allocations where.

In August 2005, soon after the MJ trial, it was announced that DD's CourtTV contract would not be renewed. Although, she had until December with the network, she chose to leave immediately after the news of her release. She claimed it was on good terms, but I’m not so sure.

Why did Diane take off so quickly the way she did? There were some obvious hurt feelings because she did not earn herself the permanent spot she had hoped for.
She begged CourtTV to give her a chance and report on the Michael Jackson allegations.
