Michael Jackson’s estate done had it up to HERE with the Leaving Neverland documentary and is now putting HBO on full blast in new legal docs.
As we’ve all heard by now, MJ accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, were exposed for telling several lies and/or inconsistencies in the documentary, regarding the alleged abuse they claimed to have endured from MJ as kids. LN director, Dan Reed, later publicly admit there were inaccuracies presented in his HBO doc’ as well.
As a result, MJ’s estate initially hit HBO with a $100 million lawsuit back in February 2019, and filed a petition to force HBO into a public arbitration, so fans could also witness the court proceedings. The estate claims HBO spread lies in the LN doc, and also violated a “longstanding contractual relationship” MJ had with the network. Therefore, it strongly believes a non-disparagement clause was breached.
Fast forward to today and MJ’s estate is pretty much calling out HBO for being straight up cowards, in a no-holds-barred response to HBO’s legal reply to it’s lawsuit.
