New Documentary Claims Michael Jackson “Was A Paedophile”
“Leaving Neverland,” a new yet controversial documentary about Michael Jackson has left audiences and critics “shellshocked” after it presented graphic allegations from two men claiming the singer abused them as children.

Daily Mail reports that during the explosive four-hour film, which had its world premiere yesterday at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, The King of Pop was accused of even staging a mock wedding complete with vows and a diamond ring with one boy.
“Among the many, many disturbing revelations of #LeavingNverland: MJ gave one of his young male victims jewelry in exchange for sexual acts, and even staged a mock wedding complete with vows and diamond ring,” wrote Patrick Ryan of USA Today wrote on Twitter.
“Many common parallels in victims’ stories: MJ grooming them to hate their parents and women in general, saying God brought them together, eventually ‘casting them out’ for younger boys. ‘There was a lot of jealousy and hurt. You were no longer special.”
The documentary focuses on the accounts of Wade Robson, 36, and James Safechuck, 40, who have long claimed that they were raped and molested by the singer at his Neverland Ranch.
The documentary takes a long, detailed look at the relationships both Robson and Safechuck independently had with Jackson, the complicity their parents may have had in the alleged abuse, and how the overpowering presence of this huge celebrity affected the courses of their lives.
It also spends a lot of time examining the psychology of child abuse and victims’ own inability to admit to their suffering.
Both men had been involved in the 2005 investigation into Jackson, with Mr Robson testifying that the singer never molested him – something he now says he did because he was scared of what would happen if he told the truth.
Variety gathered that Robson met Jackson through a dance competition at age 5, and said the sexual abuse began when he was 7.
Safechuck was cast in a Pepsi commercial starring Jackson around age 8, and the alleged abuse began after months of close friendship.
While he was alive, the iconic singer had consistently and in entirety dismissed all allegations that he abused underage boys, stating that he would never hurt a child.
His estate has also done the same in the decade since his death.
But the new documentary, which will air on HBO and Channel 4 in the UK, shows the Grammy award winning artist to be ‘a fiend, a smooth predator and a monster’, according to one critic who has seen it.
“Leaving Neverland is a horror film – an intimate, obviously believable, sometimes sexually explicit story of two boys who became Michael Jackson’s special ‘friends’ – i.e., lovers – while their oblivious parents went along. Jackson was a fiend – a smooth predator, a monster,” said Jeff Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere.
“Feel sick to my stomach after watching Part 1 of #LeavingNeverland doc. Michael Jackson witnesses/sex abuse victims coming off very credible. It’s so sexually explicit that counselors are in the lobby,” wrote Mara Reinstein of US Weekly.
“Shaking. Wow. We were all wrong when we cheered for Michael Jackson. He was a pedophile.”
