Summary
- Ola Ray recalled sexual tension with Michael Jackson during filming.
- She later passed on a lunch invitation from Jackson.
- Ray settled a lawsuit for unpaid royalties for $55K in 2013.

Ola Ray, the actress who portrayed Michael Jackson's girlfriend in the legendary 'Thriller' music video, has shared details about their interactions. Ray described a noticeable sexual tension between them on set, stemming from flirtatious conversations leading up to a kissing scene.
Years after the video's release, Ray encountered Jackson again. He extended a lunch invitation, which she declined at the time but later regretted. Despite their past chemistry, Ray pursued legal action against Jackson and his production company in 2009, seeking unpaid royalties for her role in the iconic video.
This legal action, filed a month before Jackson's passing, concluded in 2013 with a settlement. Ray received $55,000, with an additional $20,000 allocated to her attorney. She now maintains that no lasting animosity existed between her and the King of Pop.
