In addition to $100 million or free shopping for life, Jackson is asking Walmart to pay his court fees.

They have announced their intention to defend themselves against these allegations if they are legally served and will urge the court to expeditiously dismiss any. claims with merit. This information was reported to NBC News.
In the initial lawsuit, Jackson originally sought $100 million in damages and “huge credits for future purchases.” However, he later amended the complaint, reducing the amount to $175 million. The amount is $175 million.
