‘Leaving Neverland’ Director Responds To Controversy Over Michael Jackson Doc | TODAY 

so much blue on this set.

But did you include the zero evidence that was found?

Now for the sequel "Dismissing Neverland" after their cases got dismissed again in court 2020.

Dan GREED "The film is not about Michael Jackson" Proceeds to bash him for 4 hours.

The truth will always come out!

FBI 10 years of investigation nothing and this guy thinks he can tarnish a legend

There is no evidence any of this happened, an every time this man gets asked if these men are wanting money ,he rushed past it, these guys want money an this director does a one sided smear campaign

This man says he couldn't find anything to contradict these two men's NEW claims??? *WHAT ABOUT THE TESTIMONY THEY BOTH GAVE AS ADULTS SAYING IT NEVER HAPPENED*

They expect us to believe wade didn’t understand how bad it was until he had a child? Lied under oath as an adult and still didn’t understand what had happened?

Oh it's not about Michael Jackson? Really? It's called "Leaving Neverland" and the whole thing is about what Michael supposedly did to these two men.

"Direct testimony".... OMG! So I tell Dan Reed that I feel that I came from outer space. Legit material for "documentary".

I would like to see his reaction If he would have to talk face to face to the Jackson Family....would he be brave enough to lie right in to their faces?!

The female "host" is Savannah Guthrie who is good friends with Diane Dimond. So you can imagine her bias.

Making money over MJ... They will die and MJ will live forever

i hate everyone who thinks michael is guilty. like do ur research people!

Has anyone ever suggested to these two young men that they address these allegations while being attached to lie detectors? I would certainly like to see what the result of that would be.

Safechuck told his mother in 2005 that Michael was a baf guy according to their shitfilm but now Dan reed said it was in 2009? Then Safechuck realized the abuse in 2013? What mind game is this 😂😂😂

History proved you should never trust people with this kind of mustache line

He said he tried to find any information which would contradict what Wade and James said, and he couldn’t find anything. That’s either a lie or he doesn’t know how to use the Internet.

This guy's head is a whole egg😂😂

Give them all polygraphs! Then I will know who's lying!

Dan reed should be jailed.

MJ is innocent! #squareonemj #lovingneverland

Ok, if everything they said about Michael Jackson was true, why are they making a documentary about all of this, like, 10 years after Michael's death. If you were going to make this documentary, you should have done it while Michael Jackson was still alive, not 10 years after his death. It just makes it look like they're trying to tarnish Michael's legacy at this point, and that they're just trying to get a big cash grab from this, which is totally selfish. Also, why does the director in this video look like a serial killer?

If HBO loses their court with the Jackson estate, theyll come after Dan Reed for their money😂😂😂😂

You say the documentary is not about Michael Jackson but you put some disturbing images of Michael Jackson in the documentary

A real Voldemort

Okay I understand people might not believe these guys. But let's be honest it's a fact that MJ in his 30s would sleep with boys in the same bed. That to me is just weird AF. Why would parents let their kids do that and why would a grown man feel the need to sleep with a kid on the same bed. Sure go ahead play with toys all day in Neverland but why sleep with them in the same bed? Someone please explain this to me.

well, he did a bad job 'looking for' evidence to make it balance

At first, Safechuck claims he realized he was abused after Robson went on TV talking about his abuse allegations in 2013 and that being married and fatherhood changed his perspective. Familiar right? In Safechuck’s court documents, he says he never fully realized until after hearing Robson but then states that he told his mother in 2005, when they were allegedly being contacted to testify for the trial, that Jackson was a bad man and some things happened. Why wouldn’t they go to the prosecution and testify against Jackson if that’s the case? The prosecution was actively looking for as many “victims” as they can at that time. Now, Dan Reed says that Safechuck confided to his mother about the abuse in 2009. His mother also stated that she danced when she heard that Jackson died in 2009. So when did Safechuck really “realize” the abuse and told his mother about it? I know for certain that you won’t be able to confuse the years 2005, 2009 and 2013 especially when it comes to events related to Michael Jackson’s trial(2005) and death(2009) and seeing the man who inspired your lawsuit on TV(2013). That is also considering that, at those times, he’s already an adult.

You never see molestation as love. That's Bs. I was molested as a child and always saw it as wrong. All this director's answers are illogical and terrible. And once again the media, is terrible accepting any response with no logical push back

I had no idea Boy George did this documentary

Even in death, they will not leave this man alone.

This is messed on so many levels 😢😭💔

Seems like a lot of people forget what 'Stockholm Syndrome' is?

You don't have to prove that they don't get paid. Everybody are gonna take your word for it. How convenient. Let me tell you something, the man who would do this disgusting film, filled with lies, for free, isn't born yet.

There is no evidence he did anything wrong

When is it on actually?

Shameful. To denigrate a man's character against someone who cannot defend himself.

Okay, him saying he did his research to contradict their story and didn't find any is straight up bull. If he really did GOOD research he would have known that the case of '93 had nothing to do with actual sexual abuse, it was just a revenge 'move' by the dad to get his money. He didn't even want to go through a criminal lawsuit to get michael to jail. (If that was my kid, I would try everything to get him in to jail.) He didn't care about that, so he went for the civil one only. The boy (accuser) even admitted he would never touch any kid. Second of all, the 2003 - 2005 case was the exact same thing. A family that had history of scamming celebrities for their money, did it with michael, it was proven and so he was innocent. If he knew this, he might have had thought twice about wade en rob's allegations. Just wanna put that out there.

omg! he looks so creepy....

Also something interesting is Dan Reed's connection to HBO, Harvey Weinstein, channel 4, and AEG...seen in a video called Leaving Neverland - truth behind the lies. Is this a coincidence? He also referred to himself as a "Gun for hire".

MJ didnt give a doggone about Wade lmao

He allowed a 30 second segment of mj defence at the end of the first half. Tbh I couldn’t take the film seriously due to how one sided it was. I also don’t think the director did any fact checking as I’ve seen loads of facts in the film be discounted. He’s taken the whole thing on face value.

Love all of these comments from everyone who has NOT seen the documentary. Watch it first, then comment. Need to keep an open mind. MJ was an incredible talent but the fascination with young boys was always strange.

He looks like the guy from the fantastic 4 lol

How can he say that when both of them were involved in a massive trial. What a load of lies.

Cannot believe all these news sources are doing this without doing any research first!!!!

He has an evil creepy look about him.

Wish I could attach pictures in RU-vid to expose all his lies.

He doesn’t have to tell the reporter when the two men were paid, because that would be a breach in the confidentiality of the agreement. Well-played. Stupid question

Did the director ask them if they would be willing take "lie detector" tests to further determine if either was telling the truth? The accusers do not need to get paid for the documentary as I am sure they are betting the documentary will aid in their case..How can we know they are telling the truth? How can we ever know?

How many people in the comments sections actually watch the documentary?

What a crock. As disturbing as some of the claims are, this crap didn’t change my mind at all. It’s a very well crafted documentary that plays up the emotional angle, since they can’t go forward with the court. I’m sure they are hoping that public outrage might help them change their mind. However, the fact remains that Michael was never convicted of any crime against children at all. They say that they did this to help children to come forward, however based on other families who came forward with Similar allegations , only to be disproved and these two “victims” and their ever changing stories is going to make it harder to convince real victims (if there are any) to come forward. Get your facts straight before you make accusations you can’t prove.

Money and fame will always drive people to do anything even to speak against the dead when they know that the dead is defenseless . And why do we believe their story now? Is it because they sound convincing? Have we thought about the motive behind their stories and those who are pushing them to advance this cause? I prefer to stand by someone who has worked so hard to build a legacy to someone who just stands up in a day and wants to take advantage of others just to reach his goal.

So he says the boys didnt make money from the movie yet they were both on oprah

Hey, how does it feel to lie about a good man? All for money...

According to the comments, "Believe Women" but "Don't Believe Men"?

This Director is Disgusting and Cold! MJ May you Rest In Peace

He should’ve linked up with Cory Feldman if he wanted a documentary to raise awareness on the issue. Heard some of those guys are still around working👀

This is all so disgusting. Let the man rest. Jeeeez

The FBI, the police and the court should start an investigation after you You are the bullies here! This is an accusation against the most famous dead man. It's not just a movie

Michael Jackson Wonderful father and loved children very much and was a Humanitarian, he helped them a lot and to this day, after his death, a part of his fortune helps them. And he did the same to you. Neither reflector light not enough money, As your parents did back then, now you do it with an ugly tale. Millions of children and parents love Michael Jackson. There are less than 10 of you who tell ugly stories for money. About the biggest world star that ever existed after his death. This is a shame and a dead insult to HBO. They won't love you for it.

Notice how he said "if people believed the claim", and not "if people believed the truth". You know he's spitting bull

As an adult I never really hated anyone, but now I started to feel the inner hatred for HBO and this disturbing man Dan Reed. The media were cruel enough to Jackson when he was alive, and now we are not getting any better when he is not even here to defend himself. Nothing changes our love for Jackson, he is an angel and forever will be.

Yeah okay so why didn't Kevin Spacey, Weinstein and Jimmy Savel get a big trial and the same amount of media coverage and scrutiny, and they were 100 % guilty.

Please watch the documentary before commenting about the documentary y'all

I understand a kid lying but a grown man lying under oath....nah son Edit: I ain’t gonnna lie y’all after watching the documentary I change my mind I believe them

Wade didn't come forward cuz he stated and also swore by oath that Michael never did anything to him!

He said what Wade and Jimmy claimed is collaborated with stories 1993 and 2003/4 well surely if their gonna lie they would just have to follow the same previous stories so of course it sounds believable. Everyone has a choice and mine isn't to believe it .

Unless you were there nobody knows what happened

tbf I wonder if I would take the risk and watch it 2mrrow?

The mothers who keep smiling and talking fondly about memories of someone that according to their sons molested them for years. I would have thought their mothers would not now be smiling and saying such lovely things about someone that did that. What BS

They change their sick story over and over again. And they present it in such detail as if they were reading it. Those who were hurt as children, They can't talk like these. They look very happy in those videos with Michael Jackson. They always wanted to be with Michael Jackson as kids. The child who was hurt does not want to be with the person who hurt him. Court, and they will finally get the punishment they deserve👏

If it’s not about Michael Jackson then why is it called leaving neverland and why is there videos and pictures of Michael in the documentary

Dr Evil isn't such a smart cookie head when it comes to objective truth is he? 😂

"I couldn't find anything to contradict their story" lmao I have seen like 10+ contradictions within 5 minutes that randos on the internet have thrown out on these videos about Finding Neverland. Also, I feel like there should naturally be some contradictions since it was so long ago and who remembers everything from 30 years ago.

Why are they ignoring the fact that abuse victims tend to abuse others? Has anyone checked on their kids? That's what should be getting discussed.

Michael Jackson was declared innocent to the world. Michael Jackson wanted to fight a criminal lawsuit because he was not guilty but the accusers wanted a civil lawsuit so they can get paid if they won; in the end they didn’t get any because Michael was acquitted of all charges.Actually, I heard California court made changes ; a criminal lawsuit has to be filed first before a civil lawsuit can be filed . Of course you know that too. Michael Jackson Wonderful father and loved children very much and was a Humanitarian, he helped them a lot and to this day, after his death, a part of his fortune helps them. And he did the same to you.

I get the feeling Wade was that kid that always wanted more more and Michael maybe rejected him, and he’s never grown out of that rejection

Even though the Jackson family doesn’t need any more money, I hope they win this case. Whether Michael did it or not, he is not alive to defend himself.

❤Michael Jackson the best all time Forever ❤King of Music ❤King of Pop ❤️ King of Rock❤️ King of Humanitarian ❤ King of Gentleman 👏 King of Big Humanitarian👏King of aktor❤️King of singer❤️King of dancer❤️ King of songwriter❤️The best pure soul. He has the purest, greatest magic energy in the world❤ It has the energy of the truest, strongest, purest spiritual Magic❤ The best person in the world who has done a lot for people here. Even for those who hurt him brutally❤🪽🙏 thank you very much for everything. thank you very much for your big heart, your wonderful energy, your help to those who owe their lives to you and to whose lives you bring miracles❤🙏🪽 We love you all Forever ❤️ We miss you all forever ❤️

Money Grab

Even jacksons old friend Barbara Streisand has just said she believes the accusations against him.

There was one kid that denied anything ever happened

This is bull, I think theyre just upset cz Michael made new child friends and they were replaced

Dan Reed says it is not for money can we see the receipts please as I dont believe this for one minute!

I believe Michael Jackson was innocent!!!

what did the lady at the beach say to michael jackson? "HEY!!! GET OUT OF MY SON(SUN)

Why did he approach the 2 alleged victims? If they said Michael didn't touch them before. Why would you even approach them? I know they made a offer that couldn't be refused. #Danthedevil

In the beginning of documentary, Wade's mom is gushing over the vast wine collection at neverland like wall to wall and how she could help herself to any she liked,at the end, Wade said when he went to visit MJ for one last time, MJ asked him if he brought wine, and he drank it all,,,,????????????????

Shame on him! Let michael rip

I hope this thing gets the results. Properly this time ..

we still talk about loads of old people in the present who cant defend themselfs

A blazing shooting star GENIUS is truly an overwhelming energy force - MJ was a hurting person all his life and so much of this is on his art and music!

MJ was gifted and brought joy to the world he had a dark childhood its hard for pepole to except artists as simple human beings with issues i hope that era has ended.

If your uncle or brother had little boys sleep in their bed every night what do you think is happening.his own sister called him out on it for years saying his messing with little boys.you calling his sister a liar too.

This Doc is all cap
