Has Diamond ever publicly defended himself – ie in court?
He has fought all court appearances. Diamond used a one off magazine called AXS (one which he and his associates listed themselves as editors) to give a very controlled interview in which he declared that the assets were still there. In other words after telling our attorneys that Michael owned nothing for two years, he boldly stated that yes the assets were Michael’s but they were in discretionary trusts meaning he could decide if anyone gets anything. This included Tiger and her mother and it did not seem to us that Paula was doing anything to protect that little girl. There was no guarantee that anything would be there when she grew up. We frequently heard Belinda Brewin (Paula’s friend) complain that Diamond was refusing to take care of them so it was very hard to understand why Paula refused to join the litigation.
