Fans of 'The Simpsons' threaten to boycott show after studio bosses remove episode featuring Michael Jackson from circulation
Fans of the world-renowned show, 'The Simpsons', are now threatening to boycott the series after studio bosses removed the Michael Jackson episode from their rotation. The decision comes after all the sexual abuse allegations were made against the late King of Pop in the HBO documentary 'Leaving Neverland'. Jackson's estate has also spent a fair share of time denying all allegations against the singer.
Metro reported that the 1991 episode titled "Stark Raving Dad", which features the voice of Jackson as Leon Kompowsky — who is a man Homer Simpson meets in a mental institution with the belief that he is Jackson - is widely considered amongst fans around the world to be the most iconic from the early seasons of the show. The move to remove the episode has now caused fans threatening to boycott the show altogether.
