"I learned Michael Jackson fucked little boys. That's what I learned."
"The movie cuts off, somewhat abruptly, in 1988, and the last time we see Michael offstage is four years before that, well before any charges were filed."
"Fuqua doesn't outright tell the New Yorker he thinks Jackson's accusers were coaxed to lie, but he does observe that 'sometimes people do nasty things for some money.'"
"Ironically, it's also money that forced Fuqua to remove the Neverland Ranch sequence, since a $23 million settlement with Jackson accuser Jordan Chandler... also forbade any future depiction of him in a movie."
Dan Reed, director of Leaving Neverland, stated he learned that Michael Jackson sexually abused children. The documentary focuses on allegations from Wade Robson and James Safechuck. The film's narrative ends in 1988, before any formal charges were made against Jackson. Initially, the film was set to include the 1993 police raid on Neverland Ranch, but this was removed due to legal constraints. The new biopic Michael aims to portray Jackson positively, despite the serious allegations against him.
