The documentary"Leaving Neverland" presented a disturbing depiction of Michael Jackson as a child molester, but the initial wave of negative publicity hasn't greatly diminished the King of Pop's image or the enduring popularity of his music.
"He still commands prices compared to most any other celebrity," said Darren Julien, president and CEO of the Culver City, California-based Julien's Auctions. He said his auction house has sold around $15 million of the superstar singer's property including his white glove that went for $480,000 in 2009 and a jacket, which was recently bought for $75,000.
"Some saw the film, others didn't want to," she said."Many said that is not here to defend himself the way R. Kelly is here. ... The jury is always probably going to be out. But all of the execs said his legacy will be fine." The documentary focused on two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who denied Jackson abused them while the singer was still alive. Both have said having their own children forced them to face the truth.
El falso 'documental' 'Leaving Neverland' está lleno de mentiras y falsedades: fue hecho para manipular a los espectadores. Te recomiendo un documental *real* que demuestra que Michael Jackson es INOCENTE: Square One (en Amazon Prime y YT): MJInocente
If it was Michael Jackson face it was on all news that this is a proof that Michael Jackson abuse children & all type of crazy stories. But if it's Oprah or her friend Harvey Weinstein it's ok & by the way remember 2 do a documentary about all those Harvey's victims
People lies and lies....Legent live forever 👑💙
You spelt Innocent wrong
as americas hatred of michael jackson grows the rest of the world celebrates him pretty sure thats why he stopped doing shows over here..anyway your trash lol
The damn GOAT!!!!!!!
And it won't diminish him because intelligent people have sense enough to do their own research and due diligence. Just because endorsed by black male basher Oprah doesn't make it factual. She need to deal with her own demons!!!
WE KNOW THIS THANKS FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS. I didn't believe that film- too many contradictory lies from the get go.
Including the truth about michael murder
I promise you all I'm coming to change everything i have evidence that will expose wade and James and it will prove everything they have said is false and they were doing as there mommy told them to do for ten years I have been research on all of this
The king forever Legends never die HonorMJ 10YearsWithoutMichaelJackson
Jason is it, go do your Research and come back then if you Dare.
You know why?! Because LN is a bunch of proven lies. They should be behind bars! But..ooh yeah there's no law for defaming the dead in the USA. Pathetic
Really? Of course not..all lies
Because it's 1 sided, 20 yrs late, the guy's has the rep of a con, and FBI documents say otherwise. Those who continue to perpetrate this as truth for clout (ABC news, oprah, etc) lost their validity as unbiased sources w/me a LONG time ago... 🚮

God.. stop with this leaving neverland bullshit already
we miss you everyday my innocent angel
Presenting a disturbing picture shouldnt be enough to set the damn world on fire. Facts matter, or they should. But ey, you gotta get them clicks, Wade needs to be relevant and James had recently lost a family lawsuit and why treat MJ like a human being, right? 🙄 michaeljackson
MJInnocent FactsDontLiePeopleDo
Because Michael Jackson is innocent. Leaving Neverland depicts nothing but proves that no matter how deceptive the lies are, truth prevails. Michael Jackson was and is innocent. We aren't blind, but guided by facts. It's the media that has blinders on.
With little effort, ABC could read the court case and see , what these 2 plaintiffs and their many versions of abuse are total fabrication, and physically IMPOSSIBLE Their motives are laid bare in emails, these 2 NEVER thought would be seen They shouldn’t be given any credence
He was a pervert.
I'm not defending Michael for his music, but for his personality. I believe him
Proven bull crap
A couple of positives to take away from this 'documentary' 1. It separates those with a brain (who do their research and conclude innocence, even though it isn't necessary, as he is) from those without one (who claim otherwise) 2. His music has soared in the charts lololololol
I grew up with MJ, I live close to the court house in Santa Maria, I was outside the court when the verdict was read. I watched as his fans from all over the world cheered Each time they Announced innocent on each count [10?] I wanted him to be innocent, BUT Lets be real
🤔. . documentary . ? what documentary . . . ?
Fictitious villains are always popular
man is dead, leave him alone, no one cares at this point
cuz we KNOW the facts and what the real truth is...so abc, when are you gonna interview brandi and taj jackson? you know, 2 people who knew wade for over 10+ yrs! have them both on and you'll see what the real truth is.
LN is a disturbing tale of two liars!!!!. Two people who always defended MJ. We are waiting that USA media will deign to talk about the lies of the LN !!!!
You still refuse to report a single proven lies in that propaganda piece. You can depict anyone as demon in a movie! Just take a few liars, give the script, use creepy music and that's it.
His popularity endures because people know the movie was a money grab lol
Never Mute
Why would it He’s innocent and if people did proper fact checks and researched they would see that. Anyone can make a film and say anything they want weather it’s true or not! 🙄
Mj will always be the king of pop, every time I hear a song I always turn it up so loud. Haters can hate but they have no life’s !!!leavingNeverland
Understandable as you have a rapist for President...
The mocumentary Lying Neverend presented a stinking mountain of BS. Thankfully, MJ's fans are intelligent people, not gullible sheep. Intelligent ppl, who were not MJ fans, became his supporters after LN and hours of research.
Oh yeah tell your buddies to try harder next time 😒🤨🙄
I see media are trying to promote a fake untrue documentary about lies he ain't here to defend himself You are all the same but we seek facts and see through lies
Bx we don't believe in that BS, MJInnocent
Qui in Italia, ieri i vari telegiornali nazionali hanno celebrato l' anniversario dei 10 anni dalla sua morte celebrando l' artista e l' immensa eredità lasciata allo showbiz mondiale. Nessun riferimento a questo ignobile documentario. Le calunnie lasciano il tempo che trovano
MJInnocent
Ahhh the nice paedophile.
There's Resurgence in his music after LN. I hear 15 and 19 olds in my home playing his songs as if they were released yesterday. Reminding me of the period when he passed. It was the same. Popularity Not diminished at all.
..... because ‘the good will out’. Nothing can stop the reality of things , of life, of experience , of being, sight and whatnot!
abc01211001 Mj innocent 100% ,I will always Love and support him❤❤❤
It’s called Fact Checking.
THEY ARE LIARS . ONE SIDED MOCLUMENTARY TO SUE AN INNOCENT MAN. n yes for ur Reminder MR. ABC NEWS stop using this 'Michael Jackson as child .......' Respect Him or jst u cn leave it. No lie no Cobra no Roberson No safesuck cn diminshd n Innocent man. MICHAEL JACKSON IS INNOCENT
Of course, coz his legacy is glorious..has always been & will always continue to stand strong on the principles of truthfulness , empathy and greatness. Michael Jackson was true humanitarian & activist Greedy proven liars &Sell out media have no power against him and TRUTH !
Provable lies which the US media won’t talk about won’t diminish Michael Jackson’s popularity. His fans are smart and educated about his life won’t be swayed by grifters and a agenda driven media.
what is disturbing is that YOU the media WILLINGLY omitted to present the debunked lies of Leaving Neverland
That's because some people did their research rather than believing a one sided mockumentary. We know he is innocent. Period MJ forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Am I crazy, or are Michael Jaxson fans just like Trump’s base. They will dismiss anything negative as fake news. They both are blindly committed.
Are we really still talking about that garbage 'documentary'.
His music should endure. 1)The allegations against him are disturbing and even believable but not proven. 2)The music is separate from the man. 3)As a child and young man I idolized Mike and those memories never disappear. 4)History should not be erased. On the contrary
wow мιѕѕ нιм rιp🕶👞👞♥♍🔃
It’s shocking how many ppl want to believe this is ALL lies. I’m sure there’s gotta be some truth .. where there’s smoke , there’s fire!!
Yes ABC, you keep on 'reporting' but we can't hear you 🙉 the music is blasting loud on my amp. 24/7, 365 days a Year.. you should try it, it does wonders for your soul !!🕴🕴🕴
Journalism has died, RIP journalism. 'Long live double recycled old tabloid junk'
Where do they get this crap? I live in Canada and MJ is CONTINUOUSLY played.
That’s right because people don’t trust the fake news media. Michael is the King and he’s innocent.
Because people have brains and saw through what this so called “documentary” is. 💸
Becoz he was innocent,still is and always will be. You all corrupt tabloids will never be successful in your dirty game.. He will always be the most loved human being in this whole planning... Respect him or leave him alone...LongLiveTheking MJInnocent
Degeneration of morals and values
So many people living in denial on this thread. How many of you would let your kids stay at Neverland with MJ? Haha
Are you being paid by HBO to spin this? You're ALL as corrupt as each other
No scandal here...LN is nothing to do with Michael Jackson and more to do with two obsessed, overwhelming stage mothers, who are assisting in their sons feeling of abandonment, or is it theirs?...THAT IS NOT CSA! MJInnocent TruthHurts HonorMJ
You people need stop the documentary about two liars who need money Michael Jackson image and music live forever they are something call research if you people do your job it so easy😩😩😕😕👋👋👋
The movie 'Leaving Neverland' presented disturbing lies alleging Michael Jackson was a child molester, but the facts and court documents in the two men’s cases prove they are lying for money. The King of Pop's image is in tact because it is obvious he is innocent. *fixed it*
10 year FBI investigation: claim? Innocent Multiple friends said on the stand? Claim? Innocent People out for his money and not justice? FACT People love him around the world, if anything this bought people together. BITE ME/ KISS MY ASS prove me wrong
He was a predator- he should not be glorified
Funny how people will over look child molesters if they are famous.
ABC News wants to help HBOx The Estate to have a claim that no damage was done to his image.. is this what the article is about
Because he's innocent
Lies can't destroy a legend ❤
This was NOT a documentary but rather a scripted one-sided narrative designed as a hit piece to de-fame a dead man & win a lawsuit. The actors spouted numerous lies & inconsistencies & offered no tangible proof of their allegations. The lies have been verified & the Film debunked
Leaving Neverland is a one sided 4 hour doc that has been exposed and is full of lies and deception.
Because ppl know the truth... which is true elite pedos are protecred by the cabal and those rebeling against the cabal get falsly accused.
I think mostly bc people don't like scammers.
This guy, is smart, funny, curses a lot, but is very well educated in the entire Michael Jackson saga. If you want to hear SOME of the facts about, why we say Leaving Neverland is trash, why Michael is getting more new fans after they research-just watch
This is not a good time to be promoting all over again LN,This isn’t about Wade or James this is about the KING OF POP 10th year death anniversary so leave all that negativity somewhere Michael & his family doesn’t need this BS on a very hard time.... JustStopIt
The fact that fans have uncovered so many lies from LeavingNeverland, proving that the things these 2 guys are saying is false, should make the public mad. They are USING true victims pain, for their own agenda-they still have an appeal they R trying to win. Reed wants an Emmy
The so called documentary wasn't disturbing at all. A simple research would show you everything you need to know about Wade Robson & Jimmy Safechuck. The lies, the background they come from and the hunger for money! Shame on them to profit off a dead man who can't defend himself
Trash media/journalists like you in the US can try hard (with your lowest-cheapest standard of journalism) to create negative publicity and hope all people will buy you, but you're not gonna success. The smell of racism and discrimination is so strong seeing how you treat him
If ABC News actually did their jobs, the description of this article would not exists. Sorry, media, but your latest stunt didn’t work. Time to move on and either celebrate an innocent genius or be gone.
Sad isn't it? Sure wish the world didn't have a place for bad childhoods.
Hee hee....shamone
Wade Robson is a liar extortionist and he was found lying He lied for money
As long as we, the people of the world, are alive he will survive. No attempts will work. So at least have some decency with your “news” as June 25 is so close. Have mercy.
WHOEVER PERSON BELIEVE WITH THIS BULLSHIT FILM IS AN ABSOLUTELY IDIOT ! defend and trus disgusting man who likes touching nip's underage girls , that is A GROSS ! 😣😣😣
MICHAEL JACKSON WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE INNOCENT.
The media can not easily manipulate the masses anymore. Too many of us are smart enough to do our own research. We dont have to get news from networks and newspapers anymore. You cant feed us lies. You have no power.
Of course it hasn't diminished him. Because the bare minimum of research shows it was all made up. And this wasn't the first time!
People would do anything for money, so yeah I still believe in MJ
I mean -yeah,- of course. It's so easy to pick apart Leaving Neverland because from a documentary standpoint, it's literally all talk and drone shots with no evidence to back itself up. It's been ripped to shreds for its inaccuracies by people who know better.
tear that Monument down it is a reminder of how child molesters got away with doing it...
Aw, you must feel like a failure abc
LN presented a bunch of lies about Michael Jackson! IKnewLeavingNeverlandWasBS MJINNOCENT MichaelJackson FakeNews
Those boys iz lying fo da money and get sum attention! TrulicitySpeaksTruph
He’s had negative publicity for the last thirty years, what did you expect would change now, you dummies 😂
That’s because we live in a sick liberal world. They think pedophilia is a “sexual orientation”. Sick.
He was investigated for 15 years you know and found innocent!!! How does a one sided documentary change all that? It dosent!!
Maybe because ppl see many things wrong with the documentary and aren't swayed so easily by the corporate media.
It's because nobody gives a damn that he molested children. They never have.
Because any imbecile who would believe it, already believed it. The other side -- that's laughing at them -- can only grow, as new defenders are forged in the dumpster fire of MJ bashing for attention. mjinnocent
Probably because that wave of 'negative publicity' does not hold up to what is fact I do not know one Survivor who can recall all abuse while looking you in the eye or one who kept so-called items of inducement. That movie greatly offends. Insults intelligence.
PLEASE DONT ACT ALL FRIENDLY CALLING HIM THE KING OF POP AFTER YOUUUUU WERE PART OF PROMOTING THIS FALSE DOCUMENTARY!!!!
Just stop it already, . That “documentary” was a work of fiction by someone desperate for relevancy and money. Be better.
follow IKnewLeavingNeverlandWasBS
Give me evidence and I will join the hate train. Till then, MJ is the king of kings.
HonorMJ IKnewLeavingNeverlandWasBS
'Cause it's as fake as your reporting.
This is going precisely as predicted. Reason being is that as the heat from the film dies down, the recorded facts of Michael's Innocence remain unchanged and more have been uncovered since.
Maybe because it takes five minutes of googling to realize that it's a four hour long money scam? The people with the hardest time recognizing that, seem to be blue tick, liberal, journalists.
They think their god can do no wrong.
Propaganda piece with paid for publicity far above any other like it, fails to tarnish an innocent man's legacy. There fixed it for you. P.S RAZ0RFIST does the work ABC is too compromised or lazy to do here
They underestimate people's intelligence. This is not the 90s anymore: people can do their research on their own with a basic internet connection. No fictional manipulative and one-sided movie will rewrite history. This shall pass, Michael's influence and iconic status remains.
Do you wanna know why... Because the LN mockumentary was just another attempt to lynch an innocent black man. Anyone with google and common sense could figure that out. MJInnocent
IKnewLeavingNeverlandWasBS because a disturbing detailed account does not count as EVIDENCE or PROOF. Research the facts which prove they are liars. Leaving NeverHappened more like.
IKnewLeavingNeverlandWasBS * Innocent until **proven** guilty * People will do anything for money * Massive financial motive * ZERO evidence presented * Hearing the prosecution side is NOT enough to convict * Thorough FBI investigation * Heavily debunked VERY quickly.
Cant touch this
Because both men are proven liars. The initial wave of negative publicity based on lies further isolated the public from the so called Journalists. The agenda of destroying an innocent man legacy was clear to see
Some people have the brains to do research and see the lies you see.
Why would it? LeavingNeverland is littered with blatant lies, contradictions with other versions of stories told in their lawsuit & a physically impossible timeline. No thinking person who has researched the claims could ever find them credible. Michael was always innocent 👑
Or maybe people aren’t willing to fall for the bs extortion attempt by two perjurers and the media against a man who is clearly innocent of these allegations? MJInnocent
😊😊😊😊😊
Maybe it’s because idk.....it’s a bunch of bullshit
Very positive.
RIP Michael Jackson. The greatest humanitarian and artist of all time. No amount of lies can change that
No it has not because fortunately a lot of people and his fans choose to seek facts from Michael's side as well and see that this documentary (I use that term loosely) is garbage mjinnocent
Because their claims have been disproved with actual facts and evidence. This wasn't a documentary. It was a 4 hour interview with scary music and drone shots.
Hello again danreed1000. It hurt, doesnt?
Because EVERYBODY saw through the bullshit. Leaving Neverland created new fans and a fresh appreciation of Michael Jackson. SIT DOWN with your bogus claims. MJ Forever!
Mainly because it’s proven bullshit and you know it. Are you paid well or are you just cowards to keep pushing this nonsense?
Many people realize that just because something is graphic & disturbing doesn’t mean that it’s true. Many are not willing to condemn a deceased man who was found not guilty in a court of law, based on a one sided manipulative film. Many have good sense despite a media smear job.
Michael Jackson never harmed a child, he never would. his legacy will be just fine
Everyone knows he was a child molester, people were just ok with it because he made good music. How any parent let their kid go to Neverland blows my mind, they were just okay with it since he paid them to fuck their kids. He preyed on the poor and weak and took advantage of that
'negative publicity hasn't greatly diminished the King of Pop's image or the enduring popularity of his music'. You want to know why? Because Leaving Neverland was a 1 SIDED DOCUMENTARY which has proven not to be credible. Its riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions.
(3)Money didn't come frm tree for mj! it was his hard earned $! but he never bothered about money cos all he wanted was to help every sick & poor child as much as he could! so that they could also live happily like other children in this world!
Lies and slander never took his crown while he was alive. They won't in death either. The only thing that continues to be diminished is the people's trust in the media. ✌🏾MJInnocent HonorMJ IKnewLeavingNeverlandWasBS
The film, 'Leaving Neverland' was nothing but fiction, based on an old fiction book called, 'Michael Jackson was My Lover' by Victor Gutierrez. Stop mentioning that NAMBLA propaganda movie. Shame on you! Honor MJ.
You can try and fight for or against it, but nothing is going to change.
Most talented singer ever!Not perfect but the best!
(2) So 4 such a great man whatever people are doing now is nothing compared 2 wat he did 4 d people in every city, in every country he went! so many ill children were able to smile because of him! so many about to die children survived because of him! We support d victim michael
Documentary was by scam artists and people were fooled by it cause drama sells 😒
People don't give a shit as long as their entertained.
Any “documentary” can present a depiction of whatever they want, however they want, but it still doesn’t make it true. People see through the lies in LN, that’s why MJs legacy will live on forever
Impossible. Switching off Michael Jackson is like trying to switch off the sun.
ABC News are also disgusting I hate America media
For everyone who passes by this comment: !!!!!!WE DO NOT DEFEND MJ BECAUSE OF HIS ART!!!!!!
Yes Leaving neverland was so disturbing & thats y people started 2 hate james & wade for making up such cheap lies on michael jackson, the real victim! The man who helped both thinking them his children like was back stabbed after his death as dey could no longer profit frm him!
Surprised to see that most people use their brains and do research before blindly believing the lies of 2 legally recognized perjurers. Faith in humanity restored. Rest in power King Michael
Because it’s......
Because that mockumentary is a bunch of 💩 despite all the efforts YOU medias put it didn't work most of people is not stupid to believe in a fiction child porno movie. LeavingNeverlandLies is a NAMBLA propaganda movie don't expect people would cancel MJ for this discredit crap.
AndrewGreene864 Thé way that Michael Jackson is treated in the médias is purely scandalous ! They don't search thé truth, they just Give freeway to all false informations To jerks! I don't understand that lack of objectivity and of respect toward him. It's a real shame
Why are we as a civilized society condemning someone for crimes they aren't able to answer for even after they were acquitted in the court of law 14 times? Without a sliver of evidence might I add. And why is the counter evidence being willfully ignored?
Also I'll be expecting an article on your part asking people to separate the art form the artist when Elvis' death anniversary comes up, having slept with a 14 year old and all. Oh and for Bowie as well. It's always MJ being slandered despite the complete lack of evidence.
MK Ultra
I meant to say were any of you all there to see him do it. I have learned from experience you can't believe everything you hear and very little of what you see. So please move on and let the man rest in peace.
RIP journalism. As usual, propaganda over facts and evidence. Lol.
Kinda like we find out MARTIN Luther king was a womanizer but we still like him. Don’t see anyone tearing his statues down.
He made thriller
What about all of the sick white men out here whose still molesting and abusing little children. Why in the hell is everyone constantly trying to put Michael Jackson down. How do you know that he's a child molester. Where any of you there to see him do it.
Disturbing doesn't immediately equate to something being true. On the contrary there's a vast amount of evidence discovered following the film's airing that contradicts the its narrative and therefore harms its credibility.
Some people want MJ to have been a pedo SO BAD. The evidence is ALL THERE.
AndrewGreene864 Everyone keeps going on about his legacy saying it will be fine, it’s not just about that it’s about clearing his name the accusers have tarnished his name and reputation trying to destroy an innocent deceased man!
If by 'new' you mean 6 year old allegations that no-one gave a toot about until the media hysteria. If by 'scandal' you mean the graphic description of man/boy 'love' in a train station that didn't even exist until 6 years later - 1 of the many endless impossible allegations.
Since I see so many misinformed people below-Watch this Read this
Wel, people didn’t read the mueller report so we can’t expect the needle to move very far on anything because no one cares to know .
That’s because the documentary was a lie!
That documentary is not credible. Why destroy someone’s legacy based on fraudulent accusations?
Don’t give a rat ass on what the Haters think. He was never found guilty of anything. He is the greatest and I love him. Thanks Michael for sharing your talent with us. RIP
Why should it? It’s full of lies that by now have been investigated and documented by us regular people, since journalism is evidently, dead. Michael Jackson never molested anyone. Move on
LN was full of lies, by two trained actors , who still were horrible. The propaganda hit peace has been explored completely by lifelong fans, new fans and even non fans, who are fighting for MichaelJackson FactsDontLiePeopleDo HonorMJ
AndrewGreene864 Why are you even still talking about that thoroughly debunked piece of garbage u refer to as a 'documentary'? U should be celebrating Michael's life and contributions to humanity instead. if you fee the need to refer to the 'documentary' you should be listing all the lies in it.
Because he is innocent and truth always prevails now it's high time u start publishing stories about real living monster aka Weinstein
Michael is more than just music to us - he is a feeling - he’s like second nature and instinct. That won’t die. This fake documentary was all shock and awe...based on LIES!!
We often worship at the altar of people ridiculously unworthy and are resistant to being dissuaded. Love , admire, spend your money. Just don’t look too close. 9 1/2 times out of 10, you’re going to be disappointed to find they’re flawed humans. Often, your life is likely better
Because you can’t fool people. Leaving Neverland is a fake documentary. It’s got more holes than Swiss cheese. 🧀
Leaving Neverland exposed:
Its mockumentary and a work of fiction. Grow up. MJInnocent
AndrewGreene864 Leaving Neverland is bullcrep .no proof no facts nothing . and if you know the history of Wade Robson, you know that he lies everything together
People cannot trust our news outlets to be honest anymore. Court documents are available online and they prove that the allegations in Leaving Neverland are demonstrably false. Despite the media's best efforts - Michael Jackson is celebrated accross the world.
Thank you for your many gifts, Michael!
disturbing sometimes means fake. if only you had the courage to say it out loud. you watched 4 hours of NAMBLA propaganda, you can watch one hour of the evidence (provable, not tales) the movie did not provide.
Michael Jackson fans are not here to support child sex abuse! Many are CSA survivors and parents themselves and they would not pardon abuse because they “like the music” or they “like the way he danced.” All facts and evidence suggests that MJ was innocent.
Yes because people aren't dumb and relying on the media to provide them with information anymore. IKnewLeavingNeverlandWasBS
preach to that
One more comment Screw U Oprah for that series and or Documentary of the King of Pop and his X friends...... lol
Why should it? R. Kelley is a pedophile too but I’m intelligent enough to separate music and what entertains me from their personal behavior, sickness, evilness, or personal characteristics. Do we REALLY know what any entertainer is engaged in?
