An explosive Michael Jackson documentary to be aired on Channel 4 tomorrow in the Uk could really rock the boat. ‘Leaving Neverland’ is to be aired on Channel 4 on Wednesday, March 6 and Thursday, March 7 2019. It has already been shown on HBO in the U.S on Sunday, March 3, and again the following day, Monday on the same channel.
The documentary featuring James Jimmy Safetuck and Wade Wadson – two adults now in their 30s and 40s, revisits their childhood experiences at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. It aims to give an honest account of what occurred behind closed doors, with one of the boys presenting an awful picture of a loved star with a dark character . Michael Jackson has always denied the allegations against him when he was alive.
His estate are threatening a legal suit, but Channel 4 aren’t that bothered. They have issues a statement condemning the film as “yet another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson.”
Channel 4 sees this as a lifetime opportunity to show the world footage showing the accounts of these two men, for the world to judge themselves. Many viewers may end up believing one of the boys who appears genuine in his claims, but may have an evil ulterior motive to put on a false display of one victimised by the world’s most talented ever singer.
Allegations against Michael Jackson surrounding child sexual abuse has been dismissed by most of Jackson’s legions of hard core fans. There has been genuine belief that the fact Jackson never had a childhood gave him a bizarre interest in the company of kids, without anything untoward going on. The thinking in many circles is that parents of the child accusers had a financial motive for making the horrifying allegations against the late popstar.
The estate of Michael Jackson has already issued a statement denouncing the film as “yet another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson.”
SHOCKING TRAILER
The shocking documentary trailer shows Jackson with the young boys in different scenarios.Providing a voice over, Safechuck says: “Everyone wanted to meet Michael or be with Michael, and you are just star struck, and then he likes you.”Robson recalls: “I was seven years old. Michael asked, ‘Do you and the family want to come to Neverland?’
“The days were filled with magical childhood adventure experiences, playing tag, watching movies, eating junk food, anything you could ever want as a child.
A separate birthday message shows Michael smiling as he says: “Hello Wade. Today is your birthday. So congratulations. I love you. Goodbye.”
Robson then says: “He told me if they ever found out what we were doing, he and I would go to jail for the rest of our lives.”
Safechuck met Jackson at the tender age of 9 years old when they appeared in a Pespi commercial together. He went on to accompany the singer on most of his Bad tour and, almost 30 years later, accused the singer of molesting him nearly 100 times. Safechuck claims to have taken part in a secret ceremony in which he received a wedding certificate and a ring as confirmation of their ‘undying love,’ according to court papers
