'Leaving Neverland': Why is the world fixated on Paris Jackson in the wake of sexual abuse allegations against Michael Jackson? | Opinion

Why is no one really talking about Prince or Blanket Jackson like they owe an explanation to the world about their late father? 
UPDATED MAR 19, 2019

'Leaving Neverland' left behind a trail of controversy after it was aired earlier this year. The bizarre and chilling details about Jackson's alleged pedophilia and sexual abuse led to the reassessment of his legacy, a lawsuit against HBO and a battle for the truth between Jackson's lawyer Mark Geragos and filmmaker Dan Reed.

But what it also did was leave everyone fixated on Michael's daughter Paris Jackson - which begs the question, is she the only child MJ has left behind? Why is no one really talking about Prince Jackson or Blanket Jackson (Bigi) like they owe an explanation to the world about their late father?
