HBO 'Leaving Neverland' runs March 3 & 4, 2019, getting mixed reviews

LEAVING NEVERLAND on HBO. The 4 hour documentary premiere's tonight (3/3/2019) with part one and part two on Monday night (3/4/2019).

The Jackson family filed a $100 million lawsuit against HBO. They deny the allegations that, the late Michael Jackson had sexually molested Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck. The documentary producers and director did not interview the Jackson family and provide no physical evidence that Michael Jackson abused these two men as boys.

Oprah Winfrey who was molested as a child will interview Robson and Safechuck after the airing of part one. I am disappointed because Oprah didn't challenge these two with tough questions on the lies they both have told. She had always been hard on criminals and specifically "child molesters." 

The Jackson family believes that this is all about "money." Both Wade and Jimmy grew up around the whole Jackson family and were taken care of financially. Both men share the same lawyer who filed their lawsuits in 2013 against the Jackson estate. They claimed Michael sexually abused them as kids. A judge dismissed both lawsuits. It turns out that both Wade and Jimmy are "appealing" the judge's decision. This HBO documentary may try and help them get a financial settlement.

Wade went as far as trying to sell a tell-all-book, but no publisher wants it. He also sold a famous music video "hat" Michael had given to him as a gift. It sold at auction for $50,000. It is being reported that Wade was introduced to Jermaine's daughter by Michael himself. He also had "slumber parties" which his own "nephews" had always attended at "Neverland Ranch." There seems to be two sides of this story.

Interesting facts are coming out from the Jackson family. The FBI had a file on Michael and they found no evidence of sexual molestation of little boys. The Jackson family say they will not watch the documentary. Michael passed away 10 years ago and is not here to defend himself.

Below is an interview with the Jackson brothers with Access Hollywood.
