Radio stations in Canada, New Zealand and Australia are removing Michael Jackson songs from their playlists after two men alleged in a new documentary that the late singer abused them.

div > div.group > p:first-child"> Several French-language stations owned by the Canadian company Cogeco Media removed Jackson's tracks, the company confirmed to CNBC, while the Australian Nova Entertainment Group also removed his tracks from stations including Smooth fm, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

New Zealand's major radio stations, owned by NZME and Mediaworks, also took the star's music off its playlists on Wednesday, according to the New Zealand Herald. In"Leaving Neverland: Michael Jackson and me" a two-part HBO documentary shown in the U.S. and U.K this week, Wade Robson and James Safechuck allege they were abused by the singer aged seven and 10. Jackson's estate called the documentary a"public lynching" and has filed a $100 million lawsuit against HBO. The family has denied the allegations.

Last year, Sony Music Entertainment spent a reported $250 million on the rights to Jackson's back catalogue, an investment that could take a hit after the documentary was aired, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.

Posthumous punishment it'll always be great music

We already knew to a degree. Can’t believe he was tongue’ing bholes 🤢

Is everyone just waking up.

There was abuse charges while he was alive too. Why now start banning?

This isn't news I remember this being a big deal when I was young

Lol lemme get this straight. This news was already out like decades ago. Everyone got mad & banned his songs. Then he died and everyone starts playing his songs again after mourning. Then a documentary comes out 'alleging' the same exact news as before. So u ban his songs again?

f

Not saying I believe or not.. But Do people realize how long these “men” had to create a believable story making Michael the evil protagonist/them the hero victim protagonists, edit & massage events into something they can sell to the media ... and make money! Just saying

maybe they will ban beatles songs too Michael owned them and they would circle jerk together singing come together.

Stop the madness. He is DEAD! Ever hear of Rest In Peace. Unbelievable.

Do you need to design a Flyer for your business?please see my Flyer sample...Here is My Portfolio...

These allegations are not new. Over a decade old.

Did we not already know these things?

what a bunch of hypocrites! did they just find out from HBO?

Book burning.

These things are not new. Everyone knew he was a pedofile

In one of his songs he admits, 'I'M BAD!'

Unpopular opinion: I don’t believe the kid on the MJ documentary. Sorry. 😬

typical ... Hollywood/Media Industry protected MJ while he was a star ... his being a pedophile was widely recognized and obvious ... now ... omg ... we need to ban his songs ... too little ... too late

who listens to radio?

Do people still listen to the radio?
