Over the years, the topic of whether Michael Jackson was guilty or not has been a big discussion point, especially with the release of Leaving Neverland 2.
The first installment of the documentary was first released in 2019 and explored allegations of child sexual abuse against the late singer. It followed the stories of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who claimed they were groomed and abused by Jackson as children at his Neverland Ranch. The film delved into their experiences, the psychological impact, and the controversy surrounding their accusations.
On Channel 4 tonight (March 18), part two of the documentary is airing and will follow Wade and James “as they navigate an ongoing legal battle in their civil lawsuits against the estate of Michael Jackson”. The episode will also focus on the backlash the pair received from Michael’s fans.
In 2005, Michael – who died in 2009 – was found not guilty on all 14 counts following a court case after he was charged with molesting 13-year-old boy Gavin Arvizo. While many people still believe the allegations, many high-profile stars have spoken out in defence of the performer and against the documentary.

Jermaine said his younger brother Michael Jackson was not guilty
Following the 2019 doc, Michael’s older brother Jermaine Jackson appeared on Good Morning Britain to have his say.
“Michael was tried by a jury of his peers and he was acquitted,” he said.
Let this man rest. He did a lot for the world, let him rest.
Jermaine added: “There was no real evidence, there was nothing there and I will say this – our family are tired.”
“Let this man rest. He did a lot for the world, let him rest. I’ll just say this, there is no truth to this documentary.”
Jermaine insisted we are “living in a time where people can say anything and it’s taken as truth”.
