The siblings filed a lawsuit in February alleging that Jackson was a predator who abused them at the homes of late actress Elizabeth Taylor and pop star Elton John.

The Cascio family told the Aussie program, which aired Sunday night, that Jackson supplied them with drugs and booze after gaining their family’s trust with lavish gifts.

“He’s a monster, he’s evil, what he did was evil. And he’s tricked the whole world to think he’s this innocent, perfect human being, and he’s not,” Dominic Cascio told 60 Minutes of the singer, who died in June 2019.

Dominic Cascio, the siblings’ father, met Jackson in the 1980s in New York. He soon became part of Jackson’s inner circle, spending holidays at Neverland Ranch and travelling the world with him.

What the siblings allege Jackson did

Sibling Eddie, now 43, said he met Jackson at age two when the pop star came to the family home on late nights unannounced. He said Jackson would take the four siblings — Eddie, Aldo, Dominic and Marie-Nicole — on luxurious world trips with him on his private jet.

The trips and gifts, the siblings said, were merely a facade for the sexual abuse that would follow over the next 25 years.

Eddie claimed Jackson started molesting him when he was 11 during the 1993 Dangerous tour. Several siblings said Jackson had them participate in a game called “Booty Rumble,” where he would rub his genitals up against the children.

Another claim has Jackson drinking the children’s urine, saying, “This is how much I love you.”

Marie-Nicole alleged Jackson would make her undress and would look at her and masturbate while she did so.

The siblings said that Jackson gave them prescription drugs and alcohol at a young age, including “Jesus juice,” which was wine, and “Disney juice,” which was hard liquor.

“He gave me Xanax and Vicodin at 11 years old and told me I’d be floating and I would love it,” Marie-Nicole claimed.

The siblings also claim Jackson would intimidate them by training them in how to speak to their parents and police so the children would think that nothing abnormal was happening to them.

What the Jackson estate lawyer says

Marty Singer, a lawyer for the Jackson estate, told the show that the Cascios’ allegations were a “money grab.”

“Notably, these shakedown attempts come more than 15 years after Jackson’s death, thus carrying no risk of being sued for defamation,” Singer said. “Sadly, in death just as in life, Jackson’s talents and success continue to make him a target.”
