Recently, Michael Jackson’s production company has moved to block Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who accused the late pop star of sexual abuse, from accessing his sealed police records, including photographs. The company, MJJ Productions, argues that the records contain sensitive images that are protected by a court order.
Robson and Safechuck, featured in the documentary Leaving Neverland, allege that Jackson molested them when they were children. They are currently suing Jackson’s production company, claiming it allowed the abuse to occur.
In a legal filing, attorneys for MJJ Productions stated that the photographs were taken during a court-ordered search based on false information in a discredited investigation. They argue that allowing access to these images now would be a violation of Jackson’s privacy and an exploitation of the circumstances.
The accusers, however, are pressing forward with their lawsuit, aiming for a trial before the release of a Michael Jackson biopic in April 2025. They believe that the corporations behind the biopic are attempting to rewrite history.
Despite the court’s decision to allow the lawsuits to proceed, the Estate of Michael Jackson maintains the singer’s innocence, stating that the allegations are contrary to credible evidence and were only made years after Jackson’s death. The Estate plans to appeal the decision, and a settlement is not being considered.
The legal battle continues as Robson and Safechuck seek to prove that Jackson’s corporations were complicit in the alleged abuse.
