MJ was dubbed `the freak` by gig comeback bosses

London: Michael Jackson was called "the freak" by concert comeback bosses, it has been revealed.

The late singer`s mum Katherine heard how AEG Live`s Ted Fikre mocked the star in emails, the Daily star reported. An LA court was told that another boss at the firm, which was organising his world tour, referred to the King Of Pop as "creepy". Months before Jackson`s death in June 2009, the exchange occurred as AEG vice president Shawn Trell prepared the tour. Fikre wrote to Trell: "Does that mean you get to meet the freak?", to which Trell responded: "Apparently. Interesting, but kind of creepy." It will come as a boost to Jacko`s family, who are suing the firm for 26bn pounds. ANI
