Leaving Neverland: Why is "good friend" Macaulay Culkin silent on allegations of sexual abuse against Michael Jackson?
'Leaving Neverland', the latest documentary about allegations of sexual abuse against late pop star Michael Jackson has been causing waves of controversy, to say the least.
Heated discussions have been the going on about the legitimacy of the claims the Channel 4 and HBO documentary makes about Jackson's alleged sexual abuse of two then minor boys, Wade Robson and James Safechuck.
A lawsuit worth about a $100 million has also been flung at HBO by Jackson's estate for allegedly not reaching out to them for their reactions to the allegations.
The internet is rife with opinions about whether or not his music needs to die in the wake of the allegations. In the documentary, director Dan Reed has compared the late Michael Jackson to shamed TV host and serial abuser Jimmy Savile, saying there are parallels between the two men in their actions.
Various public figures have commented on the film, with BBC filmmaker Louis Theroux calling Jackson "a pedophile."
