On April 23rd, director of the Leaving Neverland documentary, Dan Reed, is calling out fans heading to the new Michael Jackson biopic for ignoring the child abuse claims against the singer. He says folks are brushing aside serious allegations just to enjoy the hits in what he calls a jukebox flick. Reed even compared Jackson to being worse than Jeffrey Epstein, while the biopic's director, Antoine Fuqua, dismissed the lawsuits as people chasing, cash with nasty motives. Reed fired back that it's ironic, pointing out that Jackson's state and film crew are raking in the dough from this project. Meanwhile, the accusers from leaving Neverland, like Wade Robson and James Safechuk, haven't seen a dime from their stories since the cases are still. Dragon on and court. Reed got blunt about what he uncovered making the doc, straight up evidence of Jackson of using kids, fast-forward seven years, and public vibe has flipped. Jackson's getting a Broadway show and this big-screen biopic, but leaving Neverland won't

stream. Again until 2029, thanks to a deal with the estate. Fans seem hooked on the music no matter what. Reed figures only video proof of the unthinkable, with sway die-harts, but for now, the king of pop's legacy keeps thriving amid the noise. Music news.
