Michael Jackson Biopic Stirs Abuse Debate

0:00It's April 21st. Welcome in. This is Music News Today, where the industry meets AI. The new Michael Jackson biopic called Michael Jobs this week, and director Antoine Fuqua is stirring things up with his take on the old abuse. Allegations against the King of Pop. Fuqua told the New Yorker he has no idea what's true about those claims, but he pointed out that sometimes folks do shady stuff just to chase cash, questioning the motives of the accusers. Back in 1993, Dentist Evan Chandler accused Jackson of abusing his 13-year-old son, Jordan, but it all ended with a financial settlement the next year. Then in 2013, after Jackson passed, Wade Robson and James Safesha came forward with their own stories of abuse from when they were. Kids. Jackson's estate has always shot down every single accusation, standing firm than none of it happened. Paris Jackson, his daughter, isn't feeling the film at all. She made it clear she had zero say in it and called it out publicly.
