Michael Jackson’s Children Considering Lawsuit Against 'Leaving Neverland' Sexual Abuse Accusers
Michael Jackson’s children may file a lawsuit against Wade Robson and James Safechuck, the two men that allege that they were sexually abused by the king of pop in the HBO documentary “Leaving Neverland,” Page Six reported.
The talk of a lawsuit against the alleged accusers comes after the Jackson estate sued HBO for breach of contract in February. In the case, the estate is seeking at least $100 million in damages.
In the new potential lawsuit from the children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, would be claiming fraud, emotional distress, slander, and misrepresentation, a family source told Page Six. Jackson's children are not seeking any monetary damages in the speculated suit, but said they would give any money recovered to charity, the news outlet said.
In lieu of a cash settlement, the Jackson children want Robson and Safechuck to assume “responsibility” and provide an “apology” as they look to preserve their father’s “legacy of philanthropy and humility,” Page Six reported.
The Jackson family has spoken out about the documentary saying the accusations are untrue.
