Leaving Neverland 2 Director Faces Death Threats

The follow-up documentary, 'Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson,' continues to explore the allegations of child sexual abuse made against Michael Jackson by Wade Robson and James Safechuck. The documentary, which airs on Channel 4, delves into the legal struggles the two men have faced in their attempts to sue Jackson's companies for negligence regarding the abuse they allege they suffered at Neverland Ranch. Despite Jackson's death in 2009 and his acquittal of previous charges, the documentary highlights the ongoing legal battle, set for trial in 2026, and the controversies surrounding it. The director, Dan Reed, has faced significant backlash, including death threats from Jackson's ardent fans who defend the late singer. The documentary aims to hold accountable those who allegedly enabled Jackson's behavior and to change legal precedents for child protection in show business. Despite the threats, Reed and the accusers are determined to bring their case to the public eye.
