The estate of Michael Jackson is facing renewed sexual abuse allegations from four siblings, who claim they were victims of abuse by the pop star in the 2000s. The siblings, who are from New Jersey, allege that the abuse occurred during concert tours and even at their home when Jackson visited with his children. Their father had worked at a luxury hotel where Jackson frequently stayed, which facilitated their contact with him. The lawsuit names the Jackson estate, attorneys John Branca and John McClain, and private investigator Herman Weisberg as defendants. The complaint accuses Jackson of being a 'serial child predator' who groomed and assaulted them from a young age. In response, Jackson's estate has labeled the lawsuit a 'desperate money grab,' questioning the motives of the accusers who previously defended him for decades. This legal battle has gained heightened attention due to the concurrent release of a biopic titled 'Michael,' which has received mixed reviews but has performed well at the box office.
