Michael Jackson fan clubs moved to sue two alleged victims of the late singer in a French court on Thursday over their claims in the hit HBO documentary"Leaving Neverland".
They are the key figures in the hit two-part documentary, which made headlines around the world when it was released by HBO in March, and broke streaming records. Safechuck and Robson have snubbed the court action and did not send legal representation to Thursday's proceedings, which lasted only 10 minutes.
"The Estate is in full support of Mr Ludot’s efforts on behalf of Michael and his beloved fans in France and across the globe that the truth shall ultimately prevail," John Branca, a co-executor of the Estate of Michael Jackson, said in a statement.
