The Latest: Michael Jackson's estate slams abuse documentaryPARK CITY, Utah (AP) — The Latest on the documentary 'Leaving Neverland' which includes detailed allegations by two men that Michael Jackson sexually molested them when they were boys (all times local): 11:10 p.m. Michael Jackson's estate is blasting a documentary that tells the stories of two men who accuse Michael Jackson of sexually molesting them when they were young boys, calling the film 'tabloid character assassination.' A statement released by Jackson's estate late Friday calls the men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, 'two perjurers' — a reference to sworn statements the men gave when Jackson was alive that he had not abused them. The men leveled their abuse allegations after Jackson's death. The pair's stories are the basis for 'Leaving Neverland,' a four-hour documentary that will air later this year on HBO and Channel 4 in Britain. It earned a somber standing ovation after its premiere at Sundance on Friday. The estate accuses the film of focusing too much on Robson and Safechuck and ignoring others who spent significant time with Jackson and 'stated that he treated children with respect and did nothing hurtful to them.' Wow Michael Jackson was definitely a weirdo. That is not predictable in the least. Mr Jackson, as we all know, was by far the most balanced individual on the planet.

This brilliant man, was a broken child, who never grew emotionally. He was definitely odd, and if he wasn’t a child predator, he surely placed himself in the position of at least being accused. Disturbing. But not shocking. Not at all
