LAHORE – The Jackson estate has quickly responded to “Leaving Neverland” becoming an increasing concern for them. In a lengthy and scathing statement, the estate labeled the film as being “not a documentary,” but rather “tabloid character assassination,” and “another lurid production in an outrageous and pathetic attempt to exploit and cash in on Michael Jackson,” as well as “just another rehash of dated and discredited allegations.”
HBO could be facing yet another lawsuit over the Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland.
The estate also attacked Robson and Safechuck’s credibility, calling the men “admitted liars” and emphasizing their previous denials of abuse.
“The film takes uncorroborated allegations that supposedly happened 20 years ago and treats them as fact,” the statement read. “The two accusers testified under oath that these events never occurred. They have provided no independent evidence and absolutely no proof in support of their accusations, which means the entire film hinges solely on the word of two perjurers.”
