Official Statement from the Estate of Michael Jackson on the French Law Suit

On Thursday, 4 July 2019, a court hearing is taking place in the Northern French city of Orleans where the Michael Jackson Community, the MJ Street and On The Line groups will commence proceedings against Wade Robson and James Safechuck, two men who sullied the image of the late singer Michael Jackson in the four- hour HBO documentary Leaving Neverland which aired in March.
 
The fan groups are taking action in a French court because of French defamation laws.
 
In the US and UK, libel protection does not extend after death but in France sullying the image of a deceased person is a criminal offense.
 
French attorney Emmanuel Ludot who is representing the fan groups in the case against Robson and Safechuck has called the allegations against Michael Jackson “extremely serious” and likened them to “a genuine lynching” of Jackson, who died on 25 June 2009.
 
The fan clubs are seeking symbolic damages of one Euro each.
 
According to John Branca, Co-Executor of the Estate of Michael Jackson, “The Estate is in full support of Mr. Ludot’s efforts on behalf of Michael and his beloved fans in France and across the globe that the truth shall ultimately prevail. We remain hopeful that a victory in France will soon fuel a movement In the United States to finally explore changes in the law to afford defamation protection for the deceased.”

  1. MJ Law= no more defaming of the dead
    MAJ LAW= Michael Jackson Journalism Law which says all credible news sources that are not tabloid must fact check and present all sides to allegations supported with all known facts/proper timelines

    • And that includes all sides to all involved alleged parties so that the media can no longer be bias and support provable lies and accusations as truth especially for agendas or they can be fined/charged with a crime.

  2. Thank you French Moonwalkers,Michael’s smiling on you,thank you.I’m in full support of defamation of character being extended to the deceased,they should be protected as well.Even though Michal’s not here to hear all the lies,it effects his legacy,his family,fans and friends who love,love,love Michael plus it’ll stop salacious lies against him.Also thanks to the MJ Estate for supporting them….I love you Michael

  6. I stopped the Demon Diane Dimond from slandering MJ about 10 Years ago. And I live in the USA.

  7. Your symbol looks like a demon from hell. Also I believe Rob and Wade. Michael Jackson destroyed their family and their childhood.

  8. My. Comment is micheal is innocent. It was unhuman and un american to. Defamed micheal character with him being dead.. Thats totally evil.

  9. I’m so pleased, the rest of the world will soon follow suite. I’m sick of the brainless, Lynch mob Morons and their fictional train. Its time for it to be derailed, TV stations in US and here in UK kept quiet on MJ’s 10th anniversary because they are cowards and hypocrites!!! As soon as Wade and Safechuck lies are exposed beyond redemption, the fickle will be jumping off the lying bandwagon. I have a suspicion someone from the Pinnochios own close circle might bring their down fall by exposing their lies. All the best to the French fans and the MJ Estate with the court cases over these charlatans!! Love you all❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️🌹🌹

  10. Ich find es eine wansins respecktloses gesätz in den USA das man Tode verleugnen darv ohne eine Strafe zu bekommen das gehört wirklich dringend geändert eine Frechheit an Michael jackson und alen anderen toten Künstlern
