A 39-year-old man has made shocking allegations against Michael Jackson, claiming that when he was 12, the singer drank his urine and told him, ‘This is how much I love you.’
In an explosive interview with 60 Minutes Australia, Dominic Cascio described what he claims were deeply disturbing experiences involving Michael Jackson, sharing graphic allegations about the abuse he says took place before the singer’s death in 2009.
According to Dominic, the relationship felt exciting and glamorous at first, especially for a young boy suddenly pulled into the orbit of the “King of Pop.”
“When you have the biggest superstar in the world in the 80s that wants to be your friend, you’re vulnerable and easily manipulated,” Dominic told 60 Minutes Australia.
Jackson’s ‘second family’
Jackson first grew close to the family in the mid-1980s after befriending Dominic Cascio Sr., a hotel manager in New Jersey.
The kids, including Eddie, Dominic, Aldo and Marie-Nicole, also became close with the superstar, who referred to the clan as his “second family.”
The singer became a regular presence in their lives, surrounding the family with expensive gifts, luxury vacations and private jet travel that made the connection feel exciting and exclusive.
Looking back, Eddie said the attention and access to Jackson’s world made the entire family feel special.
“My parents were young. For them to have such a big celebrity want to be friends with them…they definitely felt special, and so did we,” Eddie, now 43, said.
But now, the siblings explained that the generosity was part of a much darker pattern of alleged grooming and manipulation.
‘Abuse tied to all that good stuff’
For years, the Cascio siblings publicly stood by pop star as other allegations against the singer made headlines.
Now, however, they are telling a dramatically different story about the man they once defended.
“We were brainwashed, we were groomed,” Eddie told New York Times.
Agreeing with his big brother, Dominic explained those memories now feel deeply connected to the abuse he claims was happening behind closed doors.
“There was the shopping sprees, there was the amusement park, there was the gifts, like all this stuff, but it’s almost like they were tied together, you know, the abuse was tied to all that good stuff,” he told 60 Minutes.
‘Booty rumble’
Detailing the abuse in the May 10 interview, Dominic claimed the “Beat It” singer would ‘masturbate him’ and perform ‘oral sex’ on him – a way of communicating the “special bond” he only shared with ‘people that he loved.”
Dominic also alleged that Jackson introduced what he described as “disturbing games,” including one referred to as the “booty rumble.”
“He would lay me on top of him with my genitals up against his,” Dominic alleged.
“While he would shake, he would kind of push up against me.”
‘Programmed to be his soldier’
According to four of the five siblings – who have detailed the alleged abuse in a lawsuit – the sexual encounters happened over the course of years in places that had become part of their everyday lives – from Neverland Ranch to hotel rooms during international trips, and even inside their own family home while their parents allegedly had no idea what was happening.
Describing the pull Jackson had over him and his sibling, Eddie said, “When you were in it and you were surrounded by his aura, his fandom, his power that he had, and you were thinking that you’re the only person, and you’re his soulmate.
“You were conditioned to believe that,” Eddie continued, adding that Jackson told each of them that they alone were his “special friend.”
“You were conditioned. We were programmed to be his soldier.”
The siblings also said the abuse was hidden through fear and emotional control, describing moments where they were coached through strange role-playing scenarios meant to prepare them in case parents grew suspicious or police ever asked questions.
“He would instil a fear into you about, ‘I’m going to go to jail, your family’s life is going to be ruined,’” Dominic said in the interview with 60 Minutes.
‘Would drink my urine’
One of the most horrifying claims made by the Cascios is that Jackson drank Dominic’s urine to prove his love.
“You know I’m only doing this with you, like ‘I love you so much’ – now he did many things to prove that to me,” Dominic said.
“Some of the things he did was…he would drink my urine and tell me, ‘This is how much I love you.’ I’m maybe 12 years old at the time. Like, I’m a child who’s seeing this man do this,” Dominic told 60 Minutes. “And I said, ‘Oh, I guess he really does love me. I mean, I would never want to drink someone’s urine, so he must really love me.’”
‘Desperate money grab’
Marty Singer, who represents Jackson’s estate, called the lawsuit “a desperate money grab.”
“The family staunchly defended Michael Jackson for more than 25 years, attesting to his innocence of inappropriate conduct,” Mr. Singer said in a statement shared with the New York Times. “This new court filing is a transparent forum-shopping tactic in their scheme to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars from Michael’s estate and companies.”
The response from Jackson’s estate paints the accusations as financially motivated, but Dominic says his decision to speak publicly has nothing to do with money and everything to do with confronting the man he says traumatized him as a child.
“He’s a monster. He’s evil. What he did was evil. And he’s tricked the whole world to think that he’s this innocent, perfect human being. And he’s not,” Dominic added.
