Radio stations in New Zealand and Canada have dropped Michael Jackson from their playlists, following new accusations of abuse by the late pop star in the documentary"Leaving Neverland."
In the two-part film, which began airing on HBO on Sunday, Wade Robson and James Safechuck accuse the singer of sexually abusing them over a period of several years when they were children. Jackson's estate has pushed back against the film, calling it a"public lynching," and is suing HBO, which shares a parent company with CNN, Warner Media.
Oprah interviews Michael Jackson accusers 02:15During the interview, Robson said that as a child he'd had"no understanding that what Michael did to me sexually was abuse." "The grooming had started long before we ever met," he added, citing Jackson's stardom and his image.Winfrey told her studio audience, which included more than 100 abuse survivors, that"for me, this moment transcends Michael Jackson.
Remember guys all victims are innocent and you must believe them, or does this standard only apply to woman 🤔🤔
Say all you Want MJ'S legacy is still intact for me
We will all hear his music. We will compartmentalize. We are sick and sad and wish we could understand. WWG1WGA
Got to love the folks who admit Cosby is guilty but somehow think Mike is innocent. How many accusations does it Take? 15? 30? 45?
Anyone can come forward and say anything they want. He is not around to defend himself. Furthermore Chanel 4 has a history of broadcasting controversial documentaries that are flawed n facts that are totally false.
I don't believe it. Eccentric yes, pedophile no. Let sleeping dogs lie. Let Michael be.
Let the man rest in peace...at least he didn't get up in the middle of an interview then lose it, only to be arrested after leaving the studio...
If you didn't already know this!!!
Mike, your predatory days are over the secrets out.

I don’t listen radio so I don’t care.... these people came up with stories after 10 yrs of his death. 🤔
Few radio stations trying to promote themselves using fake outrage about a pathetic documentary which doesn’t show any evidence of any crime. The only thing it proves is how Michael was stupid to entertain these families.
I’ve believed for years that MJ was a paedophile. I’ve just watched this documentary which is compelling evidence of his abuse. I don’t know how people can continue to defend him. Catholic priests have been convicted with less evidence, but for some reason, MJ is believed.
That is ridiculous! It's MJ for crying out loud! How can you deny his music ? He's not here anymore to defend himself against these accusations.
The whole story doesn't make sense. James safe chuck said he only remembered in 2013. His mum danced n danced in 2009. Really stupid patchy drama.
Well done.
About 15 years after initial revelations
I don't find them to be credible accusations. I think he had a fucked up non-childhood and spent his adulthood wanting to vicariously live a childhood through his child friends. Not even weird. Just sad..and not surprising at all if you understand trauma. I empathize.
I wish they had done this while MJ was still alive. Need to let the accused have a chance to speak. I'm not condoning MJ's behavior at all and feel bad for these two men, but still a person should be given the chance to defend themselves. it's a value this country is built on.
I’m no MJ fan, nor do I hate him, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because of his mentality being on par w/an adolescent because of the abuse & isolation he was subjected to. On he other hand what grown man shares a bed w/young boys?
Personally I am reminded of his crimes every time I hear one of his songs. Its offensive. But radio stations should be free to broadcast anything they want and the free public should be left to decide to pressure the owners and advertisers by not tuning in.. FreedomOfSpeech
what happened to weinstein
The new media rules are to deem someone guilty until proven innocent.
Not to mention dual process
The music is and was good,he not so much.
People still listen to radio stations?
These days u dont have to be found guity before being punished...only couple of accusation will do....
This is an overkil. Picasso was a vicious wife beater; museums should diss the arts of the bastard then?
Did..did they miss the 90s or?
I hope they lose customers
This is so wrong ! That man is not here to defend himself !! Let the man Rest In Peace !!
Why is everyone all of a sudden acting like allegations of Michael Jackson being a pedophile are new?
Good he was a sick freak
Aren’t these the same idiots who said under oath that it was bullshit as well as hit financial problems right before releasing this?
Wasn't Bing Crosby an alcoholic who beat his kids? Do they still play his tunes around the holidays? If they want to pull music, fine. Just be consistent and hold every artist to the same standards.
It’s crazy how people can find someone guilty before they have their day in court.
Good job Canada
What the f**k MJ cares
These two people have lied numerous times on the same subject
How many of your top executives and friends will face justice one day soon. Dark to light all will be exposed
All you have to do is make a documentary find some folks that can claim anything and boom....a person is guilty. What in the world Nonsense. We can’t live in a world like that. If anything we should have learned this year is that people “Jussie” stuff all the time!
New accusations? They declared under oath nothing happened years ago... They're just cashing. I'll boycot the hell out of HBO for enabling them.
What are the new allegations?
Bullshit
I'm going to drop Canada and New Zealand from my vacation plans. I think all Michael Jackson fans should do the same.
The left loves pedophiles
😑
Unfounded ! And trashing someone who can not defend themselves! Shameful! !
CNN has dropped Justin Trudeau !
This is just stupid! His songs have nothing to do with his alleged actions.
Well pedophilia is a atrocity and disgusting. Yet liberal lawmakers in California want to make it ok for pedos to rape kids, why don’t you report about that? Even RBG in her book said the legal age of consent should be 12 years old. Sickening shit.
New abuse charges? So--, when do we dig up his body and ask him to defend these charges?
IMHO, just repeat some of the accusations against him and play his songs anyway.
Revisiting after 10 yrs.? Its their loss.
Money grab
and nobody happier about this than EddieVanHalen because he did that free guitar solo for NOTHING on Beat It no?
No MJ - No music KingofPop MJInnnocent
They are not credible lie
Virtue signaling at it's finest. 'NEW' as in decades old, already dismissed allegations? Hilarious.
In 1990-2000 Michael Jackson's behavior was so strange, but everyone wanted to believe he was not hurting children. In 2019 this just does not fly anymore. A 34 year old man sleeping alone with 7 year old children. Multiple children have reported abuse. Do not defend this man
Michael Jackson, who?
Money grab attempt. When will we stop automatically with accusers?
It’s easy to accuse people that are dead.get a job if you need money.
They made a hero of a child molester here in America.
Come O Holy Ghost Creator come and bless and sanctify and protect all the Churches and the nations and free them from all squandering and abuse of grace and from all that greives and blasphemes You
New?
Better late than Neverland
