Michael Jackson accuser Wade Robson did not grieve after father killed himself and instead chose to focus on his career

With Michael Jackson's help and finances, the family was moved from Australia to Los Angeles in the early 1990s to start a new life which Dennis Robson couldn't take anymore
UPDATED MAR 6, 2019

Wade Robson and his family were friends with King of Pop Michael Jackson who decided a few years into their friendship that he wanted to spend more time with the child. With Jackson's help and finances, the family moved from Australia to Los Angeles in the early 1990s to start a new life. Wade's mother made the decision to move her family to LA without her husband. This may seem bittersweet but it helped launch her son's career.

The move to the other side of the world, however, was not the right one for Wade's father, Dennis, who took his own life in 2002 after he was left all alone in with the rest of his family thousands of miles away on another continent. Daily Mail reported that Dennis struggled when he visited his family in LA.
