Michael Jackson biopic ‘glorifies man who abused children’, says director

Director responsible for the documentary Leaving Neverland, dan reed detonated production of the biopic of Michael Jackson starring Jaffar Jackson (nephew of Pop king), and claimed how the film “glorifies man who abused children.”

It is worth remembering how Leaving Neverland was released in 2019 and talked about the accusations of child sexual abuse against jackson. In an article published in The Guardianthe filmmaker criticized the “gentle raising of eyebrows” by the press during the reaction to the biopic that will be directed by Antoine Fuqua.

“In an age when outright outrage accompanies anything that smacks of delegitimization or insensitivity against a vulnerable group, this amounts to deafening silence,” he wrote. “No one is talking about ‘cancelling’ this movie, which glorifies a man who raped children.”

What the utter lack of outrage that accompanies this film’s announcement tells us is that Jackson’s seduction is still a living force, operating from beyond the grave.

“It seems that the press, the fans [de Michael Jackson] and the vast older demographic that grew up loving the singer are willing to put aside their unhealthy relationship with kids and just follow the music,” continued dan reed.

“To them I say this: even if you don’t believe a word your many accusers have said; even if you are not concerned about police investigations and huge payments to stop legal proceedings, how do you explain the completely incontrovertible fact that that for years Jackson spent countless nights alone in bed with boys? What did he do with them, alone in his bedroom? neverland, with alarm bells in the hallway? This cannot be acceptable at all,” said the director.

By avoiding the question of the predilection of jackson By sleeping with boys, you are sending a message to millions of child sexual abuse survivors. That message is: if a pedophile is rich and popular enough, society will forgive him.
