Oprah Winfrey is bracing for public backlash after she choose to side with 2 accusers at the center of a shameless Michael Jackson documentary titled Leaving Neverland. The documentary will analyze all of the gossip, rumors and innuendoes about Michael’s predilection for young Caucasian boys.
Social media erupted when Celebrity Insider announced Oprah would give credibility to the documentary by conducting an interview with James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who claim Michael molested them when they were young.
Oprah’s fans are scratching their heads wondering why she is involved in the media spectacle. Oprah’s people say she isn’t worried about the backlash to her interview with Wade and Safechuck, which was filmed in front of an audience of less than a hundred survivors of abuse.
“This movie transcends Michael Jackson. It allows us to see societal corruption,” Oprah said.
Michael’s family filed a lawsuit against HBO to block the documentary from airing.
Wade (Pictured) repeatedly denied being molested by Michael while the pop singer was still alive. But after Michael tragically passed away in 2009, Wade filed a lawsuit against Michael’s estate, claiming sexual abuse. The lawsuit was thrown out of court for lack of evidence.
Michael’s niece, Brandi Jackson (Jackie’s daughter), tweeted that Wade cheated on her with other women when they dated.
“I found out Wade cheated on me with multiple woman who he hoped would advance his career. You might know one of them, because it was a huge pop music scandal. Wade is not a victim, he’s an #Opportunist”.
She added: “I pray he comes at me for these #truths cause I will happily put him in his place.”

Wade: You constantly talked about wanting to be “relevant”. You’ve burned so many bridges that now the only time you are #relevant is when you headline with my family’s name next to yours. It’s time to stop these lies and live your own life. #LiesRunSprintsButTruthsRunMarathons

Michael, 3rd from left, with (L-R), Tito, dad Joe, Randy, Jackie, Jermaine, and Marlon made history as The Jackson 5, scoring four consecutive No. 1 singles on the Billboard chart in the early 1970s. Michael would go on to become a legendary phenomenon as a solo artist.
For much of his adult life Michael was plagued by rumors that he had inappropriate relationships with his young playmates at his Neverland Ranch. An investigation by federal and local authorities in California failed to turn up any evidence of sexual misconduct with young boys.
In 2005, Michael was acquitted of molesting then 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo during a 14-week criminal trial in Santa Barbara, California.
Oprah Winfrey, who is in Paris to attend fashion week events, reportedly watched the Michael Jackson documentary with David Geffen, the openly homosexual Hollywood mogul who has been the subject of many rumors himself.
1. Doesn’t it seem like Oprah is suddenly going out of her way to trash Michael Jackson? Notice how they made a point to report that Oprah was watching the #LeavingNeverland documentary with David Geffen (who is one of the most powerful men in Hollywood) pic.twitter.com/A6jcHKu9sk

4. In closing, I will just leave this here, and you can see for yourself who all the players are in some of these child sex scandals. And this is the reason why many are questioning some of the selective outrage over certain people connected to pedophilia https://t.co/LTRH91bOy7
