MJ Estate Calls Out HBO
Powerhouse attorney, Bryan Freedman, represents Michael Jackson’s estate. After getting HBO’s response, he blasted the hell outta the network:
“HBO’s opposition clearly shows that they are afraid to have this matter adjudicated because it will expose the falsity of the documentary. The Jackson Estate wants an arbitration open to the public for all to see. If HBO thinks the contract does not apply or is expired then why are they opposing adjudicating it? The reason why is because they know they were complicit in this one-sided farce of a money grab that clearly violates the agreement.
HBO does not want this fought in any courtroom because it will expose the falsity and intentional deceptiveness of the documentary. HBO’s reaction to this lawsuit is to delay the inevitable while continuing to misinform the public.”
He continued:
“Unfortunately for HBO, neither courts nor arbitrators will allow a one-sided intentionally misleading fiction like the bogus documentary they were complicit in creating. This will be adjudicated hearing both sides of the story which will clearly show HBO’s intentional conscious disregard for the truth and expose how far HBO will go to violate the rights of artists in the pursuit of greed.
Make no mistake, HBO will be held responsible for its reprehensible conduct.””
This comes after HBO’s initial response in March in which it issued a statement standing firm by it’s then upcoming LN documentary release. At that time the network called MJ’s estate and his family’s slamming of the doc as “desperate lengths taken to undermine the film,” but it vowed, “our plans remain unchanged. HBO will move forward with the airing of Leaving Neverland. This will allow everyone the opportunity to assess the film and the claims in it for themselves.”
Only prob’ is that at that time, HBO’s response was before Safechuck and Robson were exposed for inaccuracies and/or inconsistencies within their claims. The saga continues…
