A new documentary has revealed that Celebrated pop star late Michael Jackson gave his young male victims jewelry in exchange for sexual acts.
The four-hour film, which had its world premiere on Friday at the Sundance Film Festival accusses the King of Pop of even staging a mock wedding complete with vows and a diamond ring with one boy.
According to Patrick Ryan of USA Today, ‘Among the many, many disturbing revelations of #LeavingNverland: MJ gave one of his young male victims jewelry in exchange for sexual acts, and even staged a mock wedding complete with vows and diamond ring.’
‘Many common parallels in victims’ stories: MJ grooming them to hate their parents and women in general, saying God brought them together, eventually ‘casting them out’ for younger boys. ‘There was a lot of jealousy and hurt. You were no longer special.”
The film focuses on the accounts of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who have long claimed that they were raped and molested by the singer at his Neverland Ranch.
Jackson denied all allegations that he abused underage boys during his lifetime, and his estate has done the same in the decade since his death.
But the new documentary, which will air on HBO and Channel 4 in the UK, shows the Grammy award winning artist to be ‘a fiend, a smooth predator and a monster’, according to one critic who has seen it.
‘Leaving Neverland is a horror film – an intimate, obviously believable, sometimes sexually explicit story of two boys who became Michael Jackson’s special ‘friends’ – i.e., lovers – while their oblivious parents went along. Jackson was a fiend – a smooth predator, a monster,’ said Jeff Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere.
