According to the complaint, as Jackson’s travel assistant, Bennett says, he was “subjected to humiliating tasks.

“It was well known (Tamara) Holder was a mistress of Rev. Jackson. As Rev. Jackson’s travel assistant, Mr. Bennett had been to Ms. Holder’s apartment with Rev. Jackson and was told to wait in the car while he went into her apartment.”

According to the lawsuit, in 2008, Bennett says, he was accused “of faxing a letter to the Jackson family from Kinkos at 2 a.m. informing them of the affair between Rev. Jackson and Ms. Holder.”

But Bennett responds in the legal docs, “After Rainbow Push did a thorough investigation of the letter, they found out that the letter came from Judge Vanessa Hobson, who was another mistress of Rev. Jackson.”

According to Bennett’s 10-page complaint, Jackson “summoned” him to his room at the O’Hare Hilton in May 2008, and told him “to clean up and pack his things after he had spent the night with Ms. Holder.”

Bennett says Jackson flew to New York that day, where, upon arrival, he again was summoned to Jackson’s room, where Jackson told him “that he had a rash between his legs. Rev. Jackson instructed Mr. Bennett to go to the drug store to purchase a prescription.”

The complaint continues in lurid detail: “Mr. Bennett picked up the prescription and brought it back to his room. Rev. Jackson was wearing white brief underwear and instructed Mr. Bennett to apply the cream on his inner thigh. Mr. Bennett refused. Rev. Jackson became very angry and called Mr. Bennett a ‘little mother**ker.’”

In another explicit paragraph, Bennett claims that after fetching Cialis (a male performance enhancement drug) to Jackson at dinner, at the O’Hare Hilton, Jackson “summoned” him to his room at 1 a.m. “to take notes.”
