About the show

Michael Jackson sold over 400 million records. He changed the music industry. He may also be the most accused entertainer in modern history. The Michael Jackson biopic shattered box office records. The Cascio family — who defended Jackson for twenty-five years — just filed a lawsuit alleging he abused all of their children. Wade Robson and James Safechuck are heading to trial. And the Michael Jackson estate says every accusation is a lie. Music & Monsters is a five-part investigative series from Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski examining every major accusation against Michael Jackson — from the Jordan Chandler case and the twenty-three million dollar settlement, to the 2005 criminal trial and acquittal, to the Leaving Neverland allegations, to the Cascio family's explosive new lawsuit. What's been debunked gets called debunked. What's been verified gets laid out. The money on both sides gets followed. This isn't a Michael Jackson documentary that picks a side. This is the Neverland Ranch allegations, the courtroom testimony, the settlements, the reversals — all of it, with the uncomfortable parts left in. Is Michael Jackson guilty or innocent? The answer might not be either one. This publication contains commentary and opinion based on publicly available information. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Nothing published here should be taken as a statement of fact, health or legal advice. #MichaelJackson #MusicAndMonsters #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #Neverland #LeavingNeverland #MJBiopic #WadeRobson #CascioFamily #KingOfPop Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
