Siblings Sue Jackson Estate for Abuse

0:00On April 8th, a fresh lawsuit has four adult siblings hitting Michael Jackson's estate with claims he abused them as kids, starting when somewhere. Just seven or eight years old. They say it went on for over a decade, with Jackson drugging, raping, and assaulting them after meeting their dad at a luxury hotel he loved. The suit names his company's too, alleging grooming through gifts, booze, drugs, and isolation. The family trusted him at first with money and perks, but things turned dark as he pulled them away from adults and exposed them to porn. Jackson's estate fired back through lawyer Marty Singer, calling it a cash grab, and a shady move to score hundreds of millions. British journalist Jonathan Margolis, who hung with Jackson back in the day, pushed his back hard. He recalls one night at London's Lanesboro Hotel, where a 20-something Hollywood star half Jackson's age at 42 knocked on the door. Margolis left them in a huge bed, both reading comics, two meters apart, looking innocent. Margolis always saw Jackson as asexual.

Meanwhile, Jackson's kin like Janet and Paris are slamming his upcoming biopic for glossing over the truth just for profit. These claims keep the debate alive, weighing personal stories against the man's complicated legacy. I'm Corey with the story, and you've been listening to entertainment and celebrity news today.
