A family once known as some of Michael Jackson’s fiercest defenders is now accusing the late pop superstar of years of grooming, manipulation, and sexual abuse in explosive new claims that are sending shockwaves through the entertainment world.
The allegations were made by the Cascio siblings Eddie, Dominic, Aldo, and Marie-Nicole during a deeply emotional interview with 60 Minutes Australia, where they described what they allege was a hidden pattern of abuse spanning decades.
Among the most disturbing accusations was a statement by Dominic Cascio, who claimed Jackson manipulated him into believing abusive acts were expressions of affection while he was still a child.
“He would drink my urine and tell me, ‘This is how much I love you,’” Dominic alleged, recalling he was about 12 years old at the time. He said the incident left him confused and emotionally manipulated as a child trying to understand the behavior of one of the world’s biggest celebrities.
According to the siblings, Jackson gradually became deeply embedded in their family after meeting them in the 1980s through their father, who worked at a New Jersey hotel frequented by celebrities. They allege the singer showered the family with gifts, luxury vacations, private jet travel, and emotional attention before the alleged abuse escalated.
The siblings claim Jackson created what they described as an inner circle called the “Applehead Club,” allegedly convincing each child they were his only “special friend” while using secrecy, fear, alcohol, prescription medication, and emotional dependency to maintain control.
The family’s accusations mark a dramatic reversal from their previous public stance. For years, the Cascio siblings publicly defended Jackson during earlier abuse allegations and even appeared in interviews denying any wrongdoing. They now claim they were psychologically manipulated and “brainwashed” into protecting him.
The siblings said they only began confronting their experiences after watching the 2019 HBO documentary Leaving Neverland, which featured separate allegations against Jackson by Wade Robson and James Safechuck. Several of the siblings are now suing Jackson’s estate, alleging years of sexual abuse and trafficking.
Jackson, who died in 2009 at age 50, consistently denied all allegations of child sexual abuse throughout his lifetime. In 2005, he was acquitted on all counts in a highly publicized criminal trial. His estate has strongly denied the latest allegations, with attorney Marty Singer calling the accusations a “desperate money grab” and pointing to the family’s decades of public support for the singer.
The renewed controversy comes as interest in Jackson’s legacy has surged again following the release of the 2026 biopic Michael, which has become one of the year’s highest-grossing films worldwide.
