""We were brainwashed, we were groomed," Eddie told the Times, explaining how the 'biggest popstar in the world' prepared the children to defend him at all costs."
""The family staunchly defended Michael Jackson for more than 25 years, attesting to his innocence of inappropriate conduct," Marty Singer, the estate's lawyer, said in a statement."
""The estate agreed to pay each plaintiff the wholly inadequate sum of five annual payments of approximately $690,000, in order to prevent Michael's family, particularly his children, from having to be subjected to any further false allegations.""
Four siblings, Dominic, Aldo, Marie Nicole, and Eddie Cascio, have filed a lawsuit against Michael Jackson's estate, alleging child sexual abuse. They claim to have been groomed by Jackson to defend him publicly. The siblings, who were close to Jackson and defended him in the past, now assert they were manipulated and abused. They shared details of the abuse with Jackson's estate in 2019, which offered a settlement to avoid further allegations. The estate's lawyer described the lawsuit as a tactic to extract money from Jackson's estate.
