The Estate of Michael Jackson:
We want to start by again thanking all of Michael’s fans and acknowledge and thank Michael’s nephew, Taj, his niece, Brandi, and his brothers, Jackie, Marlon and Tito, Grace Rwaramba, Aaron Carter, Brett Barnes, Stephanie Mills and all of the other individuals around the world who have spoken out on his behalf. We also want to acknowledge those in the media who have done their job as journalists by reviewing the facts, noting how they were ignored in Leaving Neverland because it didn’t fit into the filmmaker’s one-sided agenda of denigrating Michael’s legacy.
We also want to provide a brief update on our efforts, as well as share some thoughts with you from the past two weeks. We share your frustration and anger that a man who was found innocent in a court of law in life is being attacked, financially exploited and smeared by corporations and individuals who are only making claims now because he is no longer here to defend himself.
In addition to our public statements regarding our position on Leaving Neverland, our legal efforts continue. While it would not be prudent to publicly divulge our strategy and list our efforts, rest assured we are committed to holding HBO and Channel 4 accountable for their egregious, uncorroborated smear of Michael’s legacy. Many of you have asked why we are seeking open arbitration. The answer is simple: we believe the public deserves to know how Leaving Neverland really came about, why no counter opinion was ever sought, why so many facts were ignored and why individuals were smeared who should have at a minimum been contacted to get the other side of the story. It is outrageous that such a one-sided smear was ever allowed on the air without challenge. We all know that if Michael was still alive it would never have been aired.
We also have other non-legal initiatives that we will disclose at the appropriate time. What is important for us, and always has been, is that we continue to take the long view as we have over the last decade. That means not doing anything rash that would give HBO, Channel 4, the film’s director and, especially, the subjects of the film, what they most crave now. They want to engage in a way that focuses more attention on a film that has no doubt underperformed given that the media did everything in its power to sell this film to viewers. But given the enormous attention and free publicity the media gave this film, the numbers have clearly not matched the hype in the markets where it has aired, with many viewers opting to stop watching after the first part.
We recognize that the press often magnifies each affront related to this film. But from our view the actual impact of this documentary on the public and their behavior has not been as significant as the media want people to think. While some would like you to think otherwise, we can confirm that the consumption of Michael’s music has not declined and his streaming numbers have not decreased in the wake of this documentary. This tells us that in addition to those of us who know the truth about Michael, those who may not understand Michael’s eccentricities and the way he chose to live his life outside of society’s norms are still choosing to appreciate and enjoy the art he created. We have licensees worldwide who are proudly selling Michael Jackson merchandise. We have insight into a significant amount of data that the fans do not see and we are working 24/7 behind the scenes to synthesize all that information and act accordingly.
We are also seeing a sharp disconnect between the reception of the film by everyday viewers and the mainstream media. Despite being outright propaganda, many viewers see through the one-sidedness, the over-the-top salacious claims, the staged dialogue and other dramatizations. They see that what Leaving Neverland boils down to is a sales job aimed at convincing viewers Michael Jackson isn’t the man millions of people know and love, including the two subjects of the film and their families until they chose to sue for hundreds of millions of dollars. As people have had time to digest Leaving Neverland and review the facts, many are recognizing they can’t take it at face value. We are especially proud of Michael’s fans and those who continue to stand up for him by pointing out the numerous inconsistencies and flaws in the film. Numerous individuals who have studied every facet of these cases has poked numerous holes in the stories of the two subjects. Some critics and individuals are now courageously admitting publicly that, having studied the facts, their view of the film changed 180 degrees.
Michael Jackson cannot be silenced, and neither can his fans, whether it is those who proudly play his music in public squares to show their support, the coffee shop owner in New Zealand who played his songs all day long in protest of Leaving Neverland or those who put posters and signs around cities proclaiming his innocence. As Michael predicted 25 years ago, the truth will be his salvation.

thank you for that statement.good to see people are working to expose these two lying frauds. at long last i feel less angry knowing people are going to clear michaels name, for michael is innocent!
I think that it’s appalling how a man who was found innocent over a decade ago is still being victimised . Was he really that great a threat that people had to lie and embellish the truth .
There is no way that they are telling the truth . The time lines don’t add up . I can see that this is the beginning of the end .
I BE WILL ALL WAY FOR MICHEAL AS A FRIEND. CAUSE I KNOW HE IS NOTHING LIKE THEY SAID. LIKE MICHAEL SAYED IF YOU DON’T KNOW HIM YOU WANT UNDERSTAND HIM. I DID NOT HAVE TO BE AROUND HIM 24/24 TO KNOW HIM.
I will always support and stand up for MJ. Love you more.
I’m not his biggest fan, but I was angered at the complete lack of substance in this documentary, and the coffee shop conversations it has created. I’ve read comments on media pieces that go into huge depth examining his ‘crimes’ and how manipulative he must have been without any evidence or proof to back it up. The sheer stupidity of these people was enough to move me to speak out wherever I can. I hope HBO get seriously punished financially and reputationaly for this incident, and I would love to see someone cross-examine these two in a court of law. They would capitulate in minutes. Peace.
Leaving neverland is bullsh*t that’s for shure ….Why are those 2 come out and tell the story now and not while he was alive ? I think they where old enough to talk if they where abused …. now it’s easy MJ is no more with us to defend himself.
Do they search for money from MJ ? Didn’t they rip Michael enough of his money that he honestly earn working and be there for his fans ?
Did they forget how many MJ gave to charity ? Then why would they put MJ to the dirt?
The guy Conrad Murray took Michael’s life and was for 4 years in jail … but sorry to say here in Belgium they give people more time in jail for example robbing somebody
For taking some ones life you got here 10 to 15 years .
Conrad Murray had been very lucky at that point because his prosecution was very fast (in my eyes to fast) and his jail time was done to fast .
It makes me so angry that those people slam MJ pull him true the dirt like this and it seems it will never stop doing this .
Sorry for the wrong typing … miss you Michael i never forget you and i’m proud to here your record’s over and over again and what they did to him sorry but it make me very angry.
I never watched the documentary, I read snippets in the media, saw some footage but to be honest I wasn’t interested in what they had to say. In death many vultures crawl out from their cesspits and try to rob the dead. I hope they are sued along with the ones who created this ridiculous lie. Being different and eccentric and wealthy has led to these claims nothing else.
Many in my country never saw Michael, they were not particularly with him in Nedodjija, but – they were convinced of his innocence. Ask me why !!! Because I’m a Serb! Because my country is bombarded, ruined, ruined, and Serbs are proclaimed in all the world’s media – beasts! And why – because “documentary films” were made about crimes committed by Serbs! later it was proven that these documentaries – a lie and a scam! But – everything was over and the Serbs will never recover from – the lies and deceptions of powerful world powers, primarily – America! That’s why I know that MJ is all conspiring and deceiving! But I know that the conspirators are powerful and have no jokes with them! Therefore – God bless you in the efforts to defend MJ and ours – normal people destroyed by malice and the greed of the mighty and alavas !!!
Can you also do something about the British media? They are constantly pushing Robson’s and Safechuck’s version , despite being sent links by fans disproving what they are saying. The media have deemed Michael guilty throughout all this without doing research. It’s opened my eyes as to how the media works. I honestly don’t know how Michael coped with it all
Thank you for the statement. Michael is for me simply the best. I find him not strange. Why is someone strange if he live the way he like and is happy. He inspired me to be my self. If i am down i look to him playing in Neverland with the waterfights and all the laughter. I am a fan since 45 years and that will never change. In my City, Rotterdam in Netherland, i stand up for him. As Michael say, one person can make the change . Love you more always Michael.

Thank you to Michael’s Estate for issuing this statement. I will continue to spreak up for Michael forever. He had the biggest heart this world has known and tried so hard to heal the world. Love you more MJxxoo
Thank you to the estate for your powerful words of reassurance. They mean so much to me and his millions of fans from all around the world. He was the most unique, inspiring and beautiful man to ever walk this earth. I miss him terribly and my heart hurts so much that he endured such pain. The media destroyed him and they will never be forgiven. These 2 liars best beware…Karma will come for them when they least expect. Michael had THE kindest heart and purest soul in the world which we will never see again but glad to be alive to have experienced this amazing artist. RIP Michael. I will love you forever and will never stop listening to your amazing songs. God Bless…X
