Dave Chappelle Doesn't Believe Michael Jackson's Accusers: 'I Don't Think He Did It'

Comedian Dave Chappelle covered a lot of ground in his new Netflix stand-up special, "Sticks & Stones." Along with discussing "cancel culture," the entertainer also defended pop singer Michael Jackson against abuse allegations that were made in the 2019 HBO documentary "Leaving Neverland."

According to TMZ, Chappelle revealed that he doesn't "believe those [expletives]," referring to Jackson accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck. He then went on to say that if any sexual abuse did happen that both Robson and Safechuck should have "felt honored and used it as bragging rights," as stated by the publication.

Continuing, he said, "I don't think he did it, but you know what? Even if he did do it ... you know what I mean? I mean, it's Michael Jackson. I know more than half the people in this room have been molested in their lives, but it wasn't no [expletive] Michael Jackson, was it?" Concluding the bit, the comedian then asked, "You know how good it must have felt to go to school the next day after that [expletive]?"

"I know it seems harsh, but somebody's gotta teach these kids. No such thing as a free trip to Hawaii," he then said.

As stated by the Hollywood Reporter, the comic also instructed people not to watch the documentary as he believed it was "gross." The main reason he said he doesn't believe the two aforementioned accusers is due to the fact that Macaulay Culkin has never come forward with his own story of abuse, as Chappelle said if he were a pedophile Culkin would be his first victim. At this time, all parties involved in the set have yet to publicly respond.
