Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed is criticizing the new Michael Jackson biopic while claiming that the late pop icon was “worse than Jeffrey Epstein.”
Antoine Fuqua’s Michael hits theatres Friday and gives “an in-depth portrayal of the complicated man who became the King of Pop,” according to Lionsgate, which handles the worldwide distribution of the film.
Reed is questioning how the new biopic failed to acknowledge the abuse allegations explored in his 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland, which raised child molestation allegations from Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who shared in harrowing detail how they say Jackson sexually abused them as boys.
