A new documentary, Leaving Neverland, screened for the first time at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday, it features two men who claim to have been sexually abused by the late Michael Jackson. The four-hour long documentary has been described as shocking, with graphic descriptions given by the two men.
Michael Jackson’s Estate has slammed the documentary, describing the men as “perjurers” after they had made statements under oath when Jackson was alive that he had never abused them. According to Sky News, they went on to say that the documentary was nothing but a “tabloid assassination" of the deceased superstar.
The documentary is due to be aired in the UK later this year.
