That afternoon, when Michael and his security team burst through the hospital doors with Prince, my first assignment was to serve as a decoy by riding around LA in Michael’s van with his trusted driver, Gary Hearn. When Michael finally introduced me to Prince late that afternoon, with his tiny fists curled up against his eyes, Michael said, bursting into laughter, “Look, he is practicing covering his eyes from the flash of the cameras!” Michael was so happy to be a father. princejackson – I can’t believe it has been 29 years!

February 21 : Bigi Jackson celebrates his 24th birthday. Grace Rwaramba wrote this beautiful message today to celebrate his birthday : “OnThisDay, Prince Michael Jackson II (“Bigi”) was born during a time when Michael seemed especially aware of life’s fragility. Months earlier, he told me how his mother had saved his life by keeping him up late after one of his concerts, causing him to sleep in and miss an appointment at the Twin Towers on the morning of the September 11 attacks.
Weeks later, while watching the Leonid meteor storm together at 4 a.m., Michael turned to me and said, “We are getting a big Blanket in a few months.” He used the word “Blanket” to describe something of wonder — an act of love, or a manifestation of God’s influence or power. When Bigi was born, he arrived as that blessing — quiet, observant, and loved by all who encountered him. Prince and Paris were so overjoyed, repeatedly telling their father, “Thank you, Daddy, for our little brother!” Sending all my love and birthday wishes to Bigi. May you continue to bless the lives of all who get to know you, and beyond.”

According to newly filed court documents in Los Angeles, the siblings are asking a judge to require the Estate to provide its 2025 accounting by September 15, nearly nine months after the year’s end. The petition argues that the Estate has “adequate resources” or can obtain them within eight months to complete the accounting, despite executors requesting 16 months to finalize the numbers.”
Michael Jackson Former Family Friends Sue Estate For Sex Trafficking Allege Abuse Happened in Famous Friends’ Homes : “Michael Jackson’s former family friends, the Cascios, are suing his estate for sexual abuse … alleging he sex trafficked them. Edward Cascio, Dominic Cascio, Marie Porte and Aldo Cascio are suing The Michael Jackson Company for sex trafficking children by force, fraud or coercion … claiming that over the course of a decade he “drugged, raped, and sexually assaulted each of the Plaintiffs, beginning when some of them were as young as seven or eight. There are numerous claims in the document … including that each of the children were abused “on interstate and international trips” in places as varied as Switzerland, Florida, South Africa and the United Kingdom just to name a few. One of the Plaintiffs — Edward — alleges he was abused in Elizabeth Taylor’s Switzerland House and Elton John’s United Kingom home. Attorney Marty Singer tells TMZ … “This lawsuit is a desperate money grab by additional members of the Cascio family who have hopped on the bandwagon with their brother Frank, who is already being sued in arbitration for civil extortion. The family staunchly defended Michael Jackson for more than 25 years, attesting to his innocence of inappropriate conduct. 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.” He continues … “Statements by the Cascios, including those appearing in dozens of passages throughout Frank Cascio’s 2011 book, as well as in interviews with Oprah Winfrey and others, directly contradict what is being alleged now. Throughout, the Cascios consistently and repeatedly asserted that Michael never harmed any of them or anyone else.”

TJ Jackson on X : My bros and experienced their level of deceit over a decade ago. It was so disappointing, sad and disgusting. This is who they are. It’s always been about $ for them. One minute they are selling fake songs, next minute they are writing books about how amazing my uncle is meanwhile people like Oprah have them on their platform to sell the world how they are my uncles “true” family and now this? It’s all sickening and the devil’s greed. Btw, all of this AFTER my uncle had passed In reality it’s always been about using and how to make a quick dollar off my uncle with them. My uncle told and warned us about Frank. He was heartbroken and so disappointed in him. But I didn’t know (and don’t know if he knew) about the rest of them until after the fake song fiascio.”
Taj Jackson on X : “My brothers and I tried to expose this family as frauds back then. But they were “protected” by the industry. Seeing the Ca$cio family resurface again for yep, you guessed it, more money….
Is not only predictable, it’s pathetic.”
