If you recall, after pop singer Michael Jackson passed away in 2009 his estate executors placed the value of his estate at $7.2 million, including his likeness being valued at $2,105 and his sizable interest in the trust that owns his and The Beatles’ music catalog being worth zero.

Originally just a post about convicted Apollo Nida accomplice and Phaedra Parks accuser Angela Stanton’s recent arrest for battery, this Apollogate story has switched gears completely! Angela’s attorney released a statement revealing his client disclosed information about her recent arrest in a private pre-trial discovery deposition and within a couple hours the information was sent to blogs. From his rather irate statement: “It is a striking coincidence that, within less than two hours of Ms. Stanton divulging this information (which has nothing to do with the case), during a deposition in which Ms. Parks and her assistant were present, the information would be in the hands of an Atlanta blog that frequently covers Real Housewives of Atlanta, the Parks v. Stanton case, etc.” Oh snap! Keep reading for more!
