Katherine Jackson's business partner contradicts reports on his firing

Katherine Jackson's business partner is denying the news that Katherine Jackson fired him, TMZ reports.

Referring to a recent article on The Hollywood Reporter published last Friday in which Howard Mann is referred as Katherine's "former business partner", Mann gainsaid the news through his lawyer, who claimed the article is "sorely lacking in fact, journalistic integrity and simple ethics" and added Mann and Katherine "remain business partners and friends to this day".

Katherine even released her own statement in response claiming "Howard has been great to me and my family. I look forward to our continued relationship and our future business projects".

Mann, who runs Jackson's Secret Vault with Katherine wants The Hollywood Reporter to issue a retraction statement.
