According to documents obtained by TMZ, Rashid says the judge in their divorce case ordered Jackson to pay $2500 per month in spousal support in May 2018, and still, she hasn’t received a dime from the singer.

The woman, who married Jackson in 2004, says he’s sitting on a pile of money while she struggles to make ends meet while taking care of her elderly parents. She believes Jermaine was earning between $50k and $500k monthly while they were married.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND DIVORCE

In June 2016, Rashid filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, after 11 years of marriage with Jermaine.

At the time, she demanded her clean cut of their assets, including vehicles, some electronic appliances and a collection of Michael Jackson portraits.

She also asked for $35k in spousal support, alleging that she only made $600 per month.

The differences between the former couple first started in November 2015, when Rashid was arrested on a domestic violence charge for biting Jermaine’s legs during a Thanksgiving dinner. She alleged that the man had spit on her.

Rashid was charged with felony corporal injury and released on a $50,000 bail. Prosecutors dropped the case when they couldn’t determine who was the aggressor in the fight.

JERMAINE ACCUSES RASHID OF THEFT

Earlier this year, Jermain filed court documents alleging that Rashid had been stealing money from his music royalties.

According to The Blast, the 64-year-old claimed that the money from his music royalties had been diverted from his address to Rashid’s without his knowledge. According to the musician, Rashid received a total of $93,991.12 since December 2017.

He also accused the woman of transferring $250k from their community assets to a company without his permission and called her actions “criminal.”
