I personally don’t think the man was a pedo. although I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility people shouldn’t be surprised people don’t believe these allegations when it’s very clear that the people accusing him are scammers and extortionists (1993,2003,Leaving Neverland etc)

i know king of pop sick of niggas pinging him in every mj thread

he been going hard since the pandemic era lmao

article says that the family is trying to fight blackmailing allegations by extorting the estate

was that supposed to reverse their decades of scams?

This the family that recorded fake michael demos and sold them to Sony?

Lmao

I don't think these people can read

Be fair to them

The diddy and Epstein s*** definitely had a huge impact in how people perceive stuff like this.

There's literally a multi episode true crime style podcast about the lengths these people went to scam

It's just funny to me

do fish get sick of water?

Yup I peeped a while ago. Tedd Riley is scum too for working on tracks he knew were fake

i wouldnt know bro lemme go ask some fishes and see what they think

Sounds like he's broke (like the rest of them)

like 80% of the article is about how this family has been lying regarding MJ for decades lmfao

They were liking Pro MJ IG posts and being booked for tribute events until the estate went public that they were being extorted LMAO

?

The article says they got paid $16 million in 2020 over 5 years and now they want more. Maybe have Grok summarize it for you

2020: The Secret Settlement Begins

Following the 2019 Leaving Neverland documentary, the Cascio siblings (Edward, Dominic, Marie Nicole, and Aldo) privately approached the Estate.

The Agreement: The siblings signed a confidential "acquisition and consulting" agreement.

The Payout: The Estate agreed to pay roughly $16 million total (approximately $2.8 million to $3.2 million per sibling) distributed in five annual installments of about $690,000 each.

The Condition: The payments were contingent on their continued silence and cooperation.

2024: The Negotiations Sour

As the five-year payout schedule neared its end, the relationship between the two parties collapsed.

The Demand: The Estate alleges that Frank Cascio (the fifth sibling) and his lawyers demanded an additional $213 million to keep the allegations from going public.

The Rejection: The Estate refused, characterizing the demand as "civil extortion."

The First Legal Shot: The Estate preemptively filed for arbitration against Frank Cascio to enforce the original 2020 confidentiality agreement.

The estate’s court filings present a starkly different narrative. They paint the Cascios as opportunists who are seeking to extort the estate by lying about Mr. Jackson’s alleged abuse. The siblings are said to have used the negative publicity of “Leaving Neverland” as an opening to “repudiate their prior support of Michael and manufacture false and specious allegations against him unless they were paid money.”
The Cascios say that, actually, their goals now are about more than money — they are about telling the truth about Mr. Jackson to the world and to some they hold close.

Seems strange the estate would settle for 16 million in the first place instead of take it to court and win, since these were obvious scammers 🤔 Dang I guess those “specific details” they learned about must’ve sounded pretty familiar!

Even if they took it to court and won, y’all would still think he was a pedophile

There’s literally no scenario where that wouldn’t be the outcome

You asked "was it for a few years of silence?"

Now read the summary of the article I posted right above your post. There's your answer. Now it's re-up time

MJ was a big weirdo but I don’t believe he molested anyone

But if ur having sleepovers with children I can’t blame anyone for coming to that conclusion

I was always a “he probably didn’t do it” guy but idk lately I feel like he probably absolutely did. The whole way he was moving is like classic serial predator behavior

Dang I guess those weirdos must be desperate to believe he was guilty regardless!

If you have any knowledge of what is actually alleged and not in the headlines, it's almost the total opposite of predator behaviour
