Man Who Accused Michael Jackson Reveals Why He Defended Him In Court!
Wade Robson, one of the men who accused Michael Jackson of inappropriate behavior, has now shared why he defended the pop star in court years before making his own allegations public. This revelation comes in the sequel to the controversial documentary Leaving Neverland, titled Surviving Michael Jackson.
The Unexpected Defense
In 2005, during a high-profile trial in which Michael Jackson was accused of inappropriate conduct toward a 13-year-old boy, Robson surprisingly testified in his defense. This decision puzzled many, considering the accusations that would later come to light. Robson explained his reasoning in the new documentary, revealing a deep sense of loyalty and fear instilled by Jackson.
Manipulation and Fear
Robson recalled how Jackson would say, “We can’t let them do this to us, we can’t let them take us down.” These words, combined with a constant sense of fear, made Robson feel that he needed to protect Jackson, even at the cost of his own truth. Robson feared the consequences of revealing what had happened between them, believing that both he and Jackson could face severe consequences.
The Moment of Doubt
Eventually, Robson found the courage to express his hesitation about testifying, but it was too late. He was subpoenaed to appear in court, and under pressure, he denied any inappropriate contact with Jackson, a statement he later admitted was false. Robson now admits that he lied during the trial to protect Jackson, believing that what happened between them wasn’t a big deal.
The Truth Comes to Light
Years later, Robson, along with fellow accuser James Safechuck, would go on to file a lawsuit against Jackson’s estate, continuing their fight for justice. This new chapter of the documentary reveals the complexities of Robson’s emotions and decisions, showing how his relationship with Jackson was marked by manipulation, fear, and confusion.
The Ongoing Legal Battle
Since 2014, Robson and Safechuck have been seeking legal redress, with a trial scheduled for 2026. Michael Jackson’s estate has repeatedly denied the allegations, with a statement calling the documentary a form of “tabloid character assassination” and claiming that Robson and Safechuck are simply looking for attention and financial gain.
Unanswered Questions
As the legal battle continues and the documentary raises new questions, many are left wondering about the true nature of Robson’s relationship with Jackson. While the estate denies the allegations, Robson’s testimony provides a complicated and troubling insight into the powerful influence Jackson held over those close to him.
