A new round of allegations against Michael Jackson dropped over the weekend, and they are bad. Four siblings from the Cascio family, the same family that fans used to call his “secret family,” went on 60 Minutes Australia and accused the singer of s*xually abusing them for decades. One of the brothers, Dominic Cascio, claims Michael Jackson drank his urine and told him it was proof of love.
The interview lines up with a federal lawsuit the four siblings, Eddie Cascio, Aldo Cascio, Dominic Cascio, and Marie-Nicole Cascio, filed against the Michael Jackson Estate in February 2026. The New York Post and 60 Minutes Australia both have the receipts. The estate has come out swinging in response and denies every word.
So before any of the louder takes flood the timeline, this is what is actually being claimed, who is saying it, and what the Michael Jackson Estate is putting on record so far.
What are the Cascio siblings accusing Michael Jackson of doing?
The lawsuit alleges that the singer used wealth, fame, and a network of people around him to operate as a serial predator for roughly 25 years. The siblings say the alleged abuse happened at Neverland Ranch, on tour stops around the world, and at homes belonging to other famous people who hosted him. They were children for most of it. At least one sibling says the abuse started at age 11.
The “urine claim” is the one traveling fastest online. Dominic Cascio told 60 Minutes Australia that the singer would drink his urine and frame it as devotion. The exact quote, per the New York Post writeup of the broadcast: “He would drink my urine and tell me, this is how much I love you.” Dominic Cascio said he was 12 at the time.
He added that as a child he could not process it. His words were,
“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.”
That is not the only allegation. The siblings say the singer plied them with wine, which the Jackson camp reportedly nicknamed “Jesus juice,” along with hard liquor, Xanax, and Vicodin, to make them easier to control. The four want compensatory damages and they want the court to void an earlier financial settlement they say was built to keep them quiet.
How is the Michael Jackson Estate fighting back against the Cascio accusers?
The estate is not blinking. Lead attorney Marty Singer, the man Hollywood usually calls when a famous client wants a lawsuit nuked, dismissed the new claims as a “desperate money grab.” His pitch is built around one fact the family cannot escape: the Cascios publicly defended the singer for more than 25 years.
They stood by him through the 2005 criminal trial, the trial where Michael Jackson was acquitted of every child s*xual abuse charge brought against him According to the legal team for the estate, the new lawsuit only appeared after what they call a failed extortion attempt.
They claim the Cascios demanded 213 million dollars to stay quiet, were turned down, and only then filed. Marty Singer told reporters, “Sadly, in death just as in life, Jackson’s talents and success continue to make him a target.” The team also flagged the timing.
The singer died in 2009. The lawsuit lands more than 15 years later, which legally protects the accusers from a defamation countersuit he can no longer file from the grave.
How any of this lands in court, we do not know yet. The case is sitting in a Los Angeles federal court. The Cascios want a public trial and a thrown out settlement. The estate wants the whole thing quietly moved into private arbitration. Both sides are loaded for war.
What gets sorted in the meantime is something else, the messy public reckoning of a legacy that already lives in two completely different camps. The record breaker is on one side. The long-running set of allegations on the other. The Cascio chapter just made the gap between those two Michael Jackson stories a lot wider.
