Leaving Neverland: Michael Jackson estate posts concert film during broadcast of HBO documentary

The documentary details new child sex abuse claims against the pop star

The Michael Jackson estate uploaded a concert film to Youtube during the US broadcast of Leaving Neverland, the documentary that details new child sex abuse claims against the pop star.

“Don’t miss the magic from the King of Pop himself! Immerse yourself in Michael Jackson,” the singer’s official Twitter account wrote alongside a link to Jackson’s Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour concert film.

Simultaneously, HBO viewers watched Leaving Neverland‘s subjects Wade Robson and James Safechuck accuse Jackson of grooming, sexually assaulting and raping them as children.

The singer’s estate has revealed they will post another concert film – Live at Wembley Stadium – during the airing of part two on Monday (4 March).

Oprah Winfrey has taped an interview with both Robson and Safechuck, as well as director Dan Reed, which will be broadcast in the US immediately after the episode ends.

Speaking to CBS This Morning, Robson told Gayle King he visited Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County as a child and thought it was “the most magical thing” he had ever seen.

Robson said Jackson invited him to stay over, first with his family, then by himself.

“Within either the first or second night of Michael and I being alone at Neverland, the nights started changing,” he said.

“One of the ways I remember it starting is Michael sort of starting to touch my legs and touch my crotch over my pants. It progressed to him performing oral sex on me, him showing me how to perform oral sex on him.”

The Jackson estate has denounced the documentary, saying the accusers “have provided no independent evidence and absolutely no proof in support of their accusations”.

Leaving Neverland airs in the UK on Channel 4 on Wednesday and Thursday despite "messages" of backlash from fans.
