Child abuse allegations made in HBO's 'Leaving Neverland' documentary have fueled the decisions.

Numerous stations in New Zealand and Canada have stopped playing songs by legendary singer and songwriter Michael Jackson over allegations of child abuse detailed in a new HBO documentary.

Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck—both now adults—alleged in the documentary that Jackson had molested them as children. The documentary aired on HBO in two parts on Sunday and Monday. But Corus Radio—whose 39 Canadian stations bring in some 7 million listeners each week, according to its website—told The Canadian Press Sunday it did not plan to pull the music, although spokesperson Chris Sarpong said the company was “monitoring the situation closely.”

In the U.K., where Channel 4 aired the first part of the documentary Wednesday night, the BBC denied reported it would stop playing Jackson’s songs, Variety reported. The film’s U.K. premiere concludes Thursday night.

all i see is that everyday so many youtube channels having only his videos growing in numbers day by day that too even 10yrs after his death!! and all their videos have massive views from worldwide!! truth is people are very crazy for his songs even today!!

What a damn shame! Whose next Stevie Wonder?

complete bullshit. Better start removing all people accused of assault and all people who took advantage of young girls. All weinstein movies too

The hypocrisy is overwhelming, & more than just a little tiresome. We build up public figures 2b so much more than what they really are. Then we take a perverse amt of pleasure in destroying them when we find out who they really are. Mayb better to keep the art,& artist separate?

Why because two guys say things happened without proof or evidence Wtf is this world coming to. Tbh it’s a circus show of propaganda and manipulation it’s clear to see. Oh yeah look back to 2005 no evidence!!!!! You can’t tell me he paid the FBI/Sheriff/Courts come on!!!!

Absurd, moronic, imbecilic.... The guy is dead. Boycotting music accomplishes nothing.

Bullshit! He was found NOT GUILTY!! Now after ALL these years more false accusations!!! It's all about $$$$

Enough already...

Stop going to the Catholic Church full of sick priests and supporting this sick guy🤢

Not for me!!!!!!

Hay que ser ingenuo para creer que es un tipo de apoyo a los niños víctimas en realidad es un movimiento comercial para colocar gente nueva al aire

Most radio stations are crap anyway! The Bible promotes slavery; are you gonna burn that too?

His music still the greatest one
