In a gripping courtroom saga, the Cascio family is taking on the Jackson estate once again, transforming from defenders of the late pop star to vocal accusers. Attorney Howard King is now representing them in a fight over allegations of abuse that have resurfaced years after they settled for millions with Jackson’s estate. What prompted this dramatic shift? Frank Cascio attributes it to years of therapy, which helped him break away from the “Michael Jackson Kool-Aid” he once drank.
Emotion filled the courtroom as family members displayed visible distress, particularly Frank’s brother Aldo, who was seen crying during the proceedings. King has recorded extensive testimony from the siblings about the alleged abuse, suggesting they are requesting over $200 million in damages, far surpassing a past payout to another accuser. With the Jackson estate staunchly denying the claims and accusing King of extortion, it’s clear this battle is just heating up. In the world of celebrity legacies, this case serves as a reminder that the past often complicates the future. What do you think will happen next?
