...that's hardly grounds for disqualification. And so last month a Florida company approached Jones to lend her name to a psychic hot line, an offer she accepted without first consulting her husband, her attorney or even LaToya. "I hit the roof when I found out," says Susan Carpenter-McMillan, Jones' longtime adviser.

When Jones later expressed misgivings about the enterprise, she was informed that the contract is legally binding. So while she's not manning any phone lines...

Things were stalled until last week when the newest Jones attorney, Susan's husband William McMillan, approached Bennett and agreed to put in writing that Hirschfeld's offer was off the table. The agreement says...
...Still, her backers will be eager to put a positive spin on the deal. And within the Jones camp, spokeswoman Susan Carpenter McMillan has won a significant victory over her longtime rivals at the Rutherford Institute and the Dallas law firm Rader, Campbell, Fisher & Pyke, all of whom were threatening to walk out after concluding an appeal of the Jones case dismissal.
