Michael Jackson to remain in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Madame Tussauds despite sex abuse allegations

Michael Jackson's statues at Madame Tussauds Museum will also be kept on display despite the sexual abuse allegations made against him

Michael Jackson has been allowed to keep his place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame amid all the sexual abuse allegations made against him in HBO's documentary 'Leaving Neverland' by two of his accusers — James Safechuck and Wade Robson and directed by Dan Reed. 

The late pop legend was brought into the Hall of Fame by the band 'NSYNC in the year 2001, almost eight years before he died. Post the release of the documentary 'Leaving Neverland', Michael's legacy has been tarnished given all the sexual abuse claims made against him.

However, representatives for the Hall of Fame have maintained that Michael Jackson's tributes will not be taken down from the display, as reported by TMZ.
