Were you shocked as we were on Dec. 6 when Oprah revealed the Cascios, the super-secret family Michael Jackson visited for 25 years in New Jersey?

So was his brother Jackie Jackson.

"I didn't know them," Jackie tells USA TODAY's Andrea Mandell, his soft voice stiffening.

He'd never heard of them? "Nope."

Michael, out tomorrow, is a much-debated posthumous compilation of Jackson tracks ranging from collaborations with Akon to dance beats like Monster, recorded by Eddie Cascio and Jackson in the family's basement. Jackson's longtime producer Teddy Riley appeared on Oprah defending the authenticity of the tracks.

Ask Jackie what he thinks of the album and he smiles and zips his lips. "I love it." Standing in front of a massive biopic painting of Jackson's life, which USA TODAY will bring exclusive news of tomorrow, Jackie says he's still not over his brother's death. "Sometimes I can't even believe it, that he's not here," he says. "But he's always around because no matter where I go, his music is always around me."

And the holiday memories are particularly sweet.

"He loved being in the snow," recalls Jackie. "He loved skiing, or trying to learn how to ski. He never really learned because I guess it was too dangerous with his dancing and things like that, he didn't want to take a chance and injure himself, but he loved the snow. We'd go to Switzerland sometimes and have fun in the snow."

He says the Jackson family does celebrate Christmas, just not with their mother Katherine, who is a Jehovah's Witness. "The rest of us, we're not, so we celebrate Christmas, she doesn't…so we have to do it ourselves, away from her."

I'm sure he's seen them, but just had no idea Michael was close with them or something..

Funny he has never heard of them.. they must have been totally out of loop then... also... jackie ur nephews and niece spent last X-Mas with them. you must have heard something about them.
 
So you still think the Jacksons are truth tellers?

So Jackie never heard of the CASCIOS? Wasn't Jackie working on the album with McClain, according to CNN? So he never heard of them huh?
 
^ good point ! but maybe he did not know about the rest of the family , typical Jackson ! they know nothing , Tito and Marlon said that they do not know if MJ's kids are his real kids or not... and they say Omer is his son !

MJ family know nothing about him except that he was heavly addicted to drugs ! absurd !


but Jackie is still the best Jackson out there !

Is he trying to belittle the Cascios/discredit them somehow?

So Jackie never wondered where his brother were living in 2007 for those 4 months?

So Jackie absolutely never ever saw the Cascio kids at Neverland?

What about the trial too?? Frank was mentioned a lot of time.. the other kids too on the other hand.
 
Not shocked, that's because the family isn't close. That's why I don't believe a lot of what they say about MJ. I don't believe the interventions either because none of them were around him.

The family didn't care.. remember Janet said she hadn't talked to MJ in years or seen him in years? So how was she planning interventions if she had no idea what was going on with her brother? The family wasn't close at all. The only time they talked to MJ was when they wanted something from him. It is so obvious
 
It would seem to me that the 'fans' seem to know a heck of alot more about certain things than MJ's own family did!

And if they did celebrate Christmas away from Katherine, then where did they celebrate it, 'cause MJ sure as heck was'nt with them. he was off celebrating with other peoples families.

BTW....is'nt Rebbie a Jehova's Witness too and did'nt Austin just recently say they did'nt celebrate Christmas and that was why MJ gave him all those gifts one year to make up for all the ones he missed?

I'd add the fans were always more concerned about MJ than his own family was. In the end we always cared, wanted 2 know where is he, how is he and stuff.
It's weird indeed, lurking through the photos from late 80ies/90ies I guess I've seen more of them with MJ with some Cascio family member than with his own relatives on them.

Thats funny b/c when it was Rebbie's and Latoya's birthday he tweeted about them wishing them a happy birthday, although JW's don't celebrate that either, nor do they wish someone a happy birthday since they don't believe in it, (a friend of mine said this who is a JW)
 
This cannot be true... Frank Cascio was named as a co-conspiritor in the trial..he took to the stand.. Jackie was at the trial supporting his bro.. he surely heard Frank Cascio's name! (and the other Cascio kids were mentioned in court)

Where does it say he's never heard of them, except in the title.

All I read is him saying ''I didn't know them'' and then the paper writes 'he'd never heard of them?' and then they put his speech ''nope''.. papers can misquote..

I'm thinkin misquote cause there can be no way he never heard of them.

Frank Cascio said he grew up with MJs nephews 3T.. so the family did know them.

Frank did not take the stand
 
I doubt anyone in the Jackson family spent time with the Cascio family and hardly knew them. Maybe knew who they were but not a lot. Maybe they are misquoting him?
 
Not surprising. Katherine had never met Debbie, her daughter in law of 3 years and mother of her grandchildren until after MJ passed.

very sad.. this demonstrates to me that the family was not close
 
Jackie simply said he hadn't heard of the Cascios, nothing more. His answer on the album "Michael", "I love it" demonstrates he's a quiet, peaceful person that doesn't want to start anything.

He's a sweet, kind guy, and his memories of his brother are always touching and sweet. Even when meeting Oprah, he was the same, you can see it in his face. God bless him..

I don't think that Jackie is trying to belittle or discredit the Cascios... I just think that Michael didn't share much about his private life with his relatives and that probably the Cascios know much more about the Jacksons than the Jacksons know about the Cascios.
 
unless its a misquote where hes saying he didnt know them personally then this just sums up the jacksons
 
i agree with JMie,i guess they misquoted him because he is the only jakson in my opinion ,looked sincere in his emotion .he and Tito stayed away from media after their brothers passing but both of them try to support their family.
 
MJ hid a lot from his family he didn't have to let them know about his secret family because of his protection of them and privacy some times when u want to escape ( i mean get away from those would would often nag you and judge you. You find comfort with the outsiders(friends) more then your own family. So of course Jackie/jacksons had to find out after his death about their brother's privacy life.

you know what you beat me to this i was going to say exactly what you wrote but i didn't want to take it there it was a lot of reasons MJ didn't want Debbie to meet his family it wasn't because of debbie he was sooooooo protective.
