[46] The interview in which Safechuck discusses and shows the wedding ring was filmed in July 2018. Reed traveled to Los Angeles later that week to shoot Safechuck's story in two days. Reed stated that both Safechuck and Robson were “in love” with Jackson and when he learnt about that “that’s one of the moments when I really hit the level of belief”. https://twitter.com/JuliensAuctions/status/1099754201243017221, [32] Declaration of Eric Mason (Michael Jackson vs. Diane Dimond, et al., Los Angeles Superior Court No. The reason why this mistake is more significant than that, though, is that Safechuck’s allegation is that his sexual abuse started on June 25-28, 1988 in a Paris hotel room on Jackson’s Bad Tour. Safechuck says Jackson eventually replaced him with Brett Barnes, and Robson says he was replaced by actor Macaulay Culkin because Jackson preferred prepubescent boys. We do not dispute that. Because the Zeitgeist is that we should just believe anyone who makes a sexual abuse claim and Robson and Safechuck use that Zeitgeist in their favor? In it Wade Robson and James Safechuck discuss at length the abuse they claim they suffered at Jackson's hands. Reader discretion is advised.). [16; paragraph 5]. It is also rare that they go around voluntarily praising their abuser for many years, calling them “one of the main reasons I believe in the pure goodness of human kind” [28], only to make a U-turn when they do not get a job with the Estate of their alleged abuser and their career crumbles. The date [the accusers] have wrong is the end of the abuse." Rather than it being Wade’s own wisdom, it actually echoes Michael Jackson’s philosophy in dancing and something that he would likely tell Wade as a child while teaching him to dance. And at one point during his deposition, the lawyers on Jackson’s side had to ask him if his memories have changed during the course of the case, because some of his stories certainly did even since he first came up with these allegations. According to a tweet to Jackson’s niece, Brandi Jackson (who was a girlfriend of Wade Robson for 7 years) Wade always talked about wanting to be relevant: Certainly, this documentary backed up with this aggressive global promotional campaign has the potential to make Robson more relevant as a “sexual abuse victim” than he could ever be as a dancer/choreographer/film director. The fact is, early 2014, when Robson and Safechuck admittedly met together with their lawyers to discuss their cases, was precisely during the time when Safechuck put together his own lawsuit before filing it. And when Wade, and then James, said, “I loved Michael and Michael loved me and we were going to be together forever,” they spoke the way a loving adult speaks about their partner.” [3], In the same interview he also says: “Michael was Wade’s lover and his close friend, to whom he owed a great deal in terms of his career and his life.”. On face value, it actually looks like something that an innocent man would say, not an abuser to his victim. Which cannot be said of most of the mainstream media that is cheerleading Reed’s film. As well as saying or writing “I love you” to everyone all the time. At the time Robson’s allegations were not yet public, but his family already knew they were coming. It focuses on two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who allege they were sexually abused as children by the singer Michael Jackson. Former security guard, Kassim Abdool testified that he met Gutierrez once and they had a two, three hours conversation [33]. It defies Wade’s claim of him believing it was love until 2012, because he was allegedly brainwashed into that by Jackson. (Details.). Although now he tries to link those everyday anxiety, shame or guilt issues to his alleged sexual abuse, but fact is many people experience such feelings in life in social situations regardless if they had ever been sexually abused or not. In Robson’s case there is no grooming period at all before Jackson allegedly starts molesting him and his alleged abuser is described as very reckless, who would abuse him on each and every occasion whenever they were alone, even with other people (including Robson’s mother) being in the next room, able to walk in on them any time. And why does a four-hours documentary did not have any place to mention information like this and other issues that transpired in court? Despite of that their stories are so parallel. [31] In 2012, Robson explained his nervous breakdown was triggered by an obsessive quest for success. And it makes even less sense with Safechuck’s story of abuse: if Jackson had molested Safechuck it would be a totally unnecessary risk for him to put this man on the stand who was so reluctant to testify and that while he did not even need his testimony. Reed: Yes. [48] Reed decided that footage he had shot of former detectives and prosecutors from the 1993 case and the 2005 trial was unnecessary. https://themichaeljacksonallegationsblog.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/2015-05-26-mj2-robson-msj-order-dismissed.pdf, [37] Michael Jackson’s first molestation accuser, Jordan Chandler, is being sought by lawyers for other alleged abuse victims (New York Daily News, July 8, 2017) Now it’s Michael Jackson’s turn to come under scrutiny. [24; paragraph 81] He claims that he only healed from this in 2017. However, there is plenty of evidence that they have lied during this lawsuit while they are claiming abuse. The fact is, however, that Robson continued to do all of those activities all the while claiming in court documents that he was so traumatized by such activities’ association with Michael Jackson that he would never be able to do them again, so he needed financial compensation. The Jackson estate called this argument "classic tautology" and that it "assumes the very conclusion that HBO wants an adjudicator to reach in this dispute, i.e., that there are no remaining obligations under the Agreement". There is absolutely no evidence of Jackson considering child sexual abuse as “love”, romanticizing it or that he did not understand it as hurting children, but there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. Robson alleges in his lawsuit: Safechuck makes similar allegations. Leaving Neverland is the story of two accusers and two families, where they overlap and where they diverge. So despite of his claim that he filed this lawsuit, not for money but as some sort of advocacy for Jackson’s other “victims”, he never bothered to reach out and apologize to the boy whose justice Wade obscured if we believe the current version of his story that he had falsely testified at that trial. In her deposition Joy Robson now characterizes this as emotional abuse. He was a non-entity”, he wrote in answer to an e-mail asking him about Safechuck’s allegations. These supposed events took place long after the alleged abuse stopped and do not have anything to do with it, yet Safechuck is going on about them in his complaint. Another day, another slew of allegations, and another reckoning with the private behaviour and public legacy of a feted man previously considered untouchable. The reality is that Jackson often made such courtesy calls and kind gestures to people. [108] Items of Jackson's clothing and a Jackson poster were removed from the Children's Museum of Indianapolis,[120] but Jackson's photographs from the museum's Ryan White exhibit were kept. Reed also said the Chandler and Arvizo stories could form the basis for a second documentary. Of course, it can happen that someone may miss a date so many years after the fact. [11][12], The documentary resulted in a media backlash against Jackson and a reassessment of his legacy. Why exactly are we supposed to brush aside all the red flags in this case, suspend critical thinking and just believe them? The film heavily builds on that psychological effect. I began to see how innocent children really are and to worry that I would have pedophilic urges.“ [11; paragraph 23]. Therefore he needs to be financially compensated for his lost international superstar career, he says [24; paragraph 80-81]. Gutierrez further said to him “that money in the tabloid business was easy, even for false stories” [31]. And even if it were, the Jackson Estate has shown a probability of success on that claim." Accusers who have changed their stories amidst monetary demands and have a very compromised credibility. However, it boosted sales of his music. The producers would have been Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, founders of the World of Wonder production company. A handwritten note that he wrote to his sister-in-law, Dee Dee Jackson, as his nephew, Taj was molested by an uncle on his mother’s side. It contradicts with other versions of their story that were left out of the film. It seemed the short notice and very aggressive media blitz was planned this way deliberately, so that the Estate and the family would not have time to put together a response in the form of a rebuttal documentary or other similar means. The ruling was not a judgment on the validity of Robson's accusations. [17] On November 7, 2019, Judge Wu granted HBO's motion to stay the arbitration proceedings with the Jackson estate pending HBO's appeal to the Ninth Circuit. Loving, nurturing, mentoring. They do not want to promote pedophilia, they simply needed an explanation to why they defended Jackson all these years and they found that fitting explanation in the “in love” narrative Gutierrez offers, just like they apparently lifted from his graphic, sexual, child pornographic stories.
