Michael Jackson’s sexual assault accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, are seeking $400 million in damages over the alleged abuse.

The staggering figure was revealed in court documents filed on Sept. 15 related to Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, not wanting the King of Pop’s estate to pay all of the mounting legal fees pertaining to the case.

But, according to the docs obtained by Us Weekly, Michael’s executers stated that not paying the legal fees would have “profoundly destabilizing consequences for the estate.”

Michael’s executors — John Branca and John McClain — stated that if the estate doesn’t pay all of its legal fees, they would most likely not be able to continue to fight Robson and Safechuck’s lawsuits.

“The Estate would likely have to default … where numerous depositions, discovery matters, and other matters are scheduled to take place over the next several months, and where [Robson and Safechuck] are seeking $400 million,” the docs state.

“It would be disastrous for the Estate to default in this case,” the docs continue.

The amount Robson and Safechuck are seeking from Michael’s companies, MJJ Productions Inc. and MJJ Ventures Inc., was not known up until this point.

Michael’s estate has repeatedly denied Robson and Safechuck’s sexual assault allegations, and a spokesperson for the estate reiterated to Page Six Wednesday, “The lawsuit has no merit and Michael is innocent.”

Reps for Robson and Safechuck didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

Robson, 43, first filed his suit in 2013, alleging at the time that he had been molested and raped by the music icon when he was just a child, specifically from the ages of 7 to 14.

Safechuck, 47, sued the following year, claiming that Jackson had groomed him for sex when he first appeared in a Pepsi ad alongside the star at age 10.

Both men opened up about the alleged abuse they experienced in detail in HBO’s “Leaving Neverland” documentary in 2019.

Michael’s estate later sued HBO for violating a non-disparagement clause in a 1992 contract by agreeing to run the documentary. The case was eventually settled in 2024 and HBO agreed to permanently remove the film from its platform.
