In light of what is happening at the moment, SmoothFM is not currently playing any Michael Jackson songs,” a statement by one radio station read. An American documentary titled Leaving Neverland showed the stories of two men who claimed Jackson abused them sexually for years.
The Australian radio network, ARN, is keeping a close eye on how the public will react to the pop star’s music after the documentary has been broadcast.
Jackson’s music has almost completely disappeared from New Zealand’s airwaves as their two top radio networks, NZME and MediaWorks, pulled his songs off the air. MediaWorks emphasised this was done in compliance with the public’s preferences.
“We are not deciding whether Michael Jackson is guilty of paedophilia, we are just making sure our radio stations are going to play the music people want to hear,” the station said.
The new documentary about the late pop star features Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who claim they were sexually abused when they were between seven and 10 years old. The doccie has reawakened the sexual abuse allegations against the late star who had rumours of abuse follow him to his death. None of the allegations against Jackson could be proven while he was alive.
