Can We Separate Michael Jackson’s Music From His Alleged Abuse? Not After “Leaving Neverland”

is a series of establishing and medium shots, toggling between a big picture about how black women and girls are disbelieved in society and a semi-intimate look at their stories that focuses almost extensively on the immediacy of the abuse. Critic Sonia Saraiyais telling a complex story, but its tabloid sheen obscures its own profundity—and that salacious skin never lets up.”

I wonder if these films will unintentionally reinforce the disparity between how black women survivors and white survivors of any gender are perceived and believed.

When people praise Michael Jackson today, recall his gifts and why they loved him, they always mention the 1983video. That’s because it’s a short masterpiece, a perfectly thought-through and executed horror tale. It is the tale of the double, the man with two selves and two souls, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, like Poe’s William Wilson or Dorian Gray and his portrait. The everyday man and his uncanny double. Which is his true self? [...

I thought all of you got fired? Stop nursing those free refills at Starbucks and go get a real job.

this mockumentary is a story based on the lies of two proven frauds. the lack of credibility and facts in this documentary should be spoken about. please do your research before writing such articles MJInnocent

Bullsh*t

the FBI files detailing the investigation that found michael innocent on all counts

说谎不累吗大兄弟。

What a sicko!

This article is a great example of journalism at its worst, where facts and research take a back seat to scandal and page views. Courts, law enforcement, and even children who spent time with Jackson have declared his innocence. You should too.

Who created that monster?

Really disappointed in this bullshit tweet

Lol the movie is a joke. I saw it. MJINNOCENT

Hones in, not, homes in.

To say that insinuates this is more than hearsay and the man is no longer here to defend himself. Very disappointing.

Ma fa o cess Buzzfeed

Oh, Buzzfeed that is so disappointing. I usually feel that you source your stories well, but you need to do your research please. These alleged victims are proven perjurers, this a grab for money.

Buzzfeed, I'm very disappointed in you. Not once have you published a fair or accurate account on MJ in the past several weeks. He should NOT be condemned based on words alone. MJInnocent

Actually this is journalism 👇🏻

buzzfeed go away seriously MJ WAS CLEARED BY FBI he was innocent MOST OF THIS SHIT IN THE DOC IS LIES WE CAN PROVE IT .....ask me anything i can answer it

LeavingNeverland reveals what scum bags Dan, Wade and James are

How you can put monster & Michael Jackson in the same sentence and feel any kind of satisfaction about it, I don't know. The media are scared of the actual truth coming out, why else do you find MJ fans so threatening lol.

It reveals the greed and power struggles of child care and inheritance.

You were pitched an opportunity to get out true facts about this documentary and you refused because this was the only side you wanted to present.

Welp. I won’t be clicking your links or watching your YouTube channels anymore🤷🏻‍♀️ MJInnocent byebye

Robson, the man who claims it isnt about money,has been trying to GET MONEY for 6 years, even sellin mj memorabilia to fans of the monster YEARS after his accusations You are being conned, by a con, who just cashed in courtesy of HBO/OPRAH and his new “charity”

We didn't want to see it because it's not true

Facts don't lie people do.

Actually if you bothered to read court documents,you would see a man who career had collapsed and was begging MJ estate for a second chance, his last shot at prestigious job..he was passed over/cooked this up, for MONEY and REVENGE Judge threw his case out b/cuz obviously lies

don’t yall have the same food at different places for drastically different prices that you need to eat? sit down. next.

I havent read the crap.

The monster YOU want him to be. Instead of listening to the words of admitted liars, do your research starting with reading the court documents that refute their claims one by one. Their stories are severely contradicting as well as their claim they do this for victims.

We are not watching. MJINNOCENT

The only monster I see is you the despicable ass media jumping to conclusion get over this bullshit documentary without a shed of evidence or proof and the accused is not here defending himself. Shame on you for you sensational b.s.

They are appealing their case of $106Million which the judge previously threw out for lack of merit after changing their stories 4 times. Before that, they were suing for $1.5 Billion. A little research would have gotten you this information

Just hours before it airs y'all are going out of your way to promote this garbage so that many people can tune in. this has nothing to do with justice or victims. just clicks...and money.

Y'all really do try to hard. I can't believe I ever wanted to be a member of your crew. You don't fact check; you just write. Mike ain't do anything to anyone but here y'all go with this bs.😒😤

Lmao

MJInnoccent

Because Yes , this film neglects to mention these guys have twice tried (and failed) to sue mj estate.

Whether or not you believe Michael Jackson was an abuser, your saying you believe a perjurer if you believe Wade Robson . Now you must ask yourself; do you believe a perjurer who had nothing to gain, or one with $100s millions at stake

The only thing this Mocumentary is showing is what monsters Wade & James are! They are proven liars and perjurers. It’s beyond pathetic and disgusting! Facts dont lie people do! MJInnocent

Oh y’all in this too? Pathetic.

The FBI investigated MJ for over a decade and they found literally nothing that says he is guilty. But I guess you know something we and the FBI don't?

We saw it who takes kinds into a cave WE SAW IT

Yawning. Keep repeating them same sensational tweets. Repeating it won't make it true as much as you want it to be. Sorry. MJInnocent

If you and other viewers had one working brain cell you would know this is a bunch of bs

I like how you and practically every other media outlet neglected to read their lawsuits that prove theyre lying.

You guys are just making stuff up as you go along. Again no evidence, no proof, just the same story with a different title. Just stop.

BS!

The film has already been exposed as false.

What are you writing about next week?

Cmon buzzfeed. Don’t tell me you’re supporting a one-sided documentary from 2 proven liars. michaeljackson is gone for goodness sakes😭. I wish people would just let him and his family be in peace. I wish we’d all spread love, not hate. Esp when he’s not here to defend himself!

this is the real MJ

He is NOT a monster. He is an angel. He saved many life's of children. He had such a big heart. He's done a lot of good for this world. He is an innocent man!

Hey I hope it’s not true

Please, you pay your writers to do research maybe they should before publishing garbage articles.

This is gonna be huge 😱

So not interested - dude is deceased

Oprah Winfrey’s intense interview with Michael Jackson accusers from ‘Leaving Neverland’Emotions were raw onstage when Oprah Winfrey talked with Wade Robson and James Safechuck, whose allegations of sexual abuse against Michael Jackson are featured in the documentary 'Leaving Neverland.' The interview will air Monday on HBO and OWN after the last episode of 'Leaving Neverland.' I'm the least famous survivor of childhood sexual abuse in the world and that is a good thing. Oprah Michael Jackson should Rest In Peace. Their is a story streaming on Twitter about Pamela Gordon-Kennedy. The majority of ppl will never believe these lies. There is not ONE factual piece of evidence in these allegations whatsoever. His legacy shall remain untouched. Focus on Harvey Weinstein, R.Kelly, and other actual predators. Thank u, next 😘💖

Review: HBO’s ‘Leaving Neverland’ is a disturbing portrait of Michael Jackson and childhood traumaLorraine Ali reviews 'Leaving Neverland,' the HBO documentary told from the point of view of the men who allege that they were sexually abused when they were boys by Michael Jackson.
