Jackson Abuse Claims Resurface Amid Biopic

A family that backed Michael Jackson hard, back in 2010, is now flipping the script on abuse claims right as his biopic hits theaters.

The Cassios knew Jackson through their dad's hotel gig in Manhattan, where the star crashed sometimes.

They called themselves the second family and went on Oprah to shut down rumors with the kids swearing nothing happened.

Fast forward 15 years, and four siblings are opening up about alleged abuse, starting when they were kids, around 7, 8, or 12 years.

Old, during sleepovers and trips like Euro Disney, they say payments from Jackson's estate dried up in 2025, leading to a lawsuit for more cash.

The estate's lawyer calls it a straight money grab from folks who defended him for decades.

With the movie dropping nationwide, this twist has everyone talking, questioning what really went down behind the scenes.
