Michael Jackson accuser claims pop star drank his urine – Celebrity News – Entertainment

A member of Michael Jackson’s “secret family” has spoken out, claiming that he was abused by the star.

In March of this year, Dominic Cascio and his sister and two brothers filed a lawsuit against Jackson’s estate that claimed the King of Pop sexually abused them as children. Jackson became close with the family in the 1980s, when he met the siblings’ father, who worked at a luxury hotel where Jackson frequently stayed.

The family would travel the world with the star and stay at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch for holidays. The ranch, which is now abandoned, was where some of the alleged abuse occurred.

Jackson’s estate has denied all of a the allegations. However, the Cascio siblings—Dominic, Eddie, Marie-Nicole, and Aldo appeared on 60 Minutes Australia episode that aired on May 11.

“He’s a monster, he’s evil, what he did was evil,” Dominic said. “And he’s tricked the whole world to think he’s this innocent, perfect human being, and he’s not.”

Dominic told 60 Minutes Australia, “He would drink my urine and tell me, ‘This is how much I love you.’ I’m maybe 12 years old at the time. Like, I’m a child who’s seeing this man do this.”

“And I said, ‘Oh, I guess he really does love me. I mean, I would never want to drink someone’s urine, so he must really love me.’”

His brother, Eddie, claimed that Jackson started molesting him when he was 11 during the 1993 Dangerous tour and when they shared a bed together. “We were on tour, and that’s when Michael started to get closer and started rubbing me on my legs. I was sitting on his lap, and that’s when the first kiss happened, where he kissed me on the lips,” Eddie added.

Earlier this year, Marty Singer, an attorney for Jackson’s estate, hit back at the lawsuit brought forward by the siblings following the sexual abuse claims. In a statement to the Express US, he said, “This lawsuit is a desperate money grab by additional members of the Cascio family who have hopped on the bandwagon with their brother Frank, who is already being sued in arbitration for civil extortion.

“The family staunchly defended Michael Jackson for more than 25 years, attesting to his innocence of inappropriate conduct. This new court filing is a transparent forum-shopping tactic in their scheme to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars from Michael’s estate and companies. Statements by the Cascios, including those appearing in dozens of passages throughout Frank Cascio’s 2011 book, as well as in interviews with Oprah Winfrey and others, directly contradict what is being alleged now.”

The statement continued, “Throughout, the Cascios consistently and repeatedly asserted that Michael never harmed any of them or anyone else. With the Estate’s financial success growing, the Cascios, through two different attorneys, threatened to go public with heinous accusations that completely contradicted their previous statements defending Michael unless his Estate paid staggering sums of money.

“Last year, the Cascios’ attorney, Howard King, demanded $213 million. After Howard King was replaced for a time by attorney Mark Geragos, Geragos made a new but equally baseless $40 million demand on behalf of the Cascios.

“The Cascio family’s former attorney Mark Geragos had been Michael’s defense counsel before being dismissed in 2004, spent years attesting to Michael’s innocence, including multiple statements in his 2013 book and in an interview that year with Huff Post in which he labeled accusations against Michael ‘a shakedown.'”

The statement ended, “Michael was unanimously acquitted by a jury after a 5-month trial, about which Geragos wrote, ‘The only thing that surprised us was that it took them longer than fifteen minutes to reach that decision.’ The Cascios spent decades defending and affirming Michael’s innocence. Notably, these shakedown attempts come more than 15 years after Michael’s death, thus carrying no risk of being sued for defamation. Sadly, in death, just as in life, Michael’s talents and success continue to make him a target.”
