Michael Jackson - Leaving Neverland documentary

It's interesting how much this varies between different celebrity offenders or alleged offenders. For instance when Chuck Berry died a few years ago BBC Four repeated a concert as a tribute.

That's...not what I said. Don't misconstrue my posts.

Saying you would never about a situation you have never even been close to being in is not helpful to anyone and certainly not to victims of abuse. Wade and James themselves will reckon with their parents actions, not some people on a forum that want to feel better about themselves by comparing their hypothetical perfect actions to the reality of those of others.

Their actions are meant to be shocking to viewers, so that viewers can understand the shocking effects that emotional manipulation can have on a human being. But if you come out of this doc and your main focus is on the parents, as it seemingly is for a number of posters here, and their wrongdoings (whose worst intentions were money and fame) rather than the person who purposely manipulated them and abused their children, you are missing the point of why the parents were willing to be so honest about their experiences and why their stories were also included in the doc. Wade and James do not want a bunch of strangers coming away from this doc focusing on how bad their parents were, rather than on the realities of what happened to them and their families at the hands of Jackson.
