New York Post • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Four Cascio siblings, claiming to be part of Michael Jackson’s "secret family," alleged in a "60 Minutes Australia" interview that Jackson groomed and sexually abused them over 25 years, supplying drugs and alcohol as part of the abuse.
- The siblings detailed disturbing incidents including molestation starting from a young age, participation in a "booty rumble" game, and being given prescription drugs like Xanax and Vicodin, while Jackson allegedly manipulated their family with lavish gifts and fame.
- The abuse reportedly occurred at Neverland Ranch, during world tours, and in homes of celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John, with the siblings describing Jackson as a manipulative predator who instilled fear to keep them silent.
- Jackson’s estate lawyer dismissed the allegations as a "money grab," emphasizing the claims came over 15 years after Jackson’s death, thus posing no risk of defamation suits against the accusers.
- The siblings filed a lawsuit in February accusing Jackson of serial child sexual abuse, challenging the public image of the late pop star as innocent and perfect.
