James Safechuck dan Dan Reed peringatkan film biografi Michael Jackson dapat memicu trauma korban kekerasan

James Safechuck, seorang penuduh dari film dokumenter tahun 2019 Leaving Neverland, mengeluarkan pesan untuk mendukung para penyintas pelecehan seksual anak, memperingatkan bahwa promosi film biografi Michael dapat memicu trauma. Sutradara Leaving Neverland, Dan Reed, mengkritik film tersebut. Safechuck dan Wade Robson sedang menggugat harta warisan Jackson sebesar $400 juta.

James Safechuck, yang dalam Leaving Neverland menuduh Michael Jackson melakukan pelecehan seksual terhadapnya sejak usia 10 tahun hingga awal masa remaja—klaim yang dibantah oleh Jackson semasa hidupnya—merilis pesan video melalui pengacaranya serta pernyataan kepada Rolling Stone saat film biografi Michael tayang di bioskop. Film tersebut menggambarkan perjalanan karier Jackson, termasuk kesuksesannya di era Thriller. Safechuck memperingatkan bahwa pujian Hollywood terhadap terduga pelaku kekerasan, bahkan setelah adanya klaim publik, dapat membuat para penyintas mengalami trauma kembali, seraya mengingatkan mereka bahwa mereka tidak sendirian. Sutradara Leaving Neverland, Dan Reed, juga mengecam film yang dipromosikan secara besar-besaran tersebut.
