In the documentary #LeavingNeverland, Michael Jackson accuser James Safechuck talks about how he and Michael Jackson were so in love and got “married” at Neverland by having a mock wedding, which included written vows and a wedding ring. Safechuck stated that he loved jewelry as a kid and that Jackson used this against him, by rewarding him with jewelry in exchange for sex. Safechuck later pulled out a box containing rings which he claimed were given to him by Jackson as a “reward” for sexual favors. He talked about how it made him uncomfortable looking at the rings and his hand was shaking when he pulled out the famous wedding ring. This scene was definitely heart wrenching and powerful, but was it really genuine? Without any kind of verification, how do we even know those rings really did come from Michael Jackson? It’s interesting that a 10 year old boy would be infatuated with jewelry. One would think that a child that young would be more interested in toys and video games. What’s even more interesting is that there are many pictures of Safechuck and he’s not wearing any jewelry, even though he claimed to love it so much as a child. And what happened to the written vows that he and Jackson supposedly kept? Safechuck kept all of Jackson’s letters, faxes, cards, etc, but why doesn’t he have these written vows? It should be noted that in Safechuck’s legal documents, he never mentions still possessing the wedding ring or rings in general. He specifically mentions that he still owns a necklace and medallion that was given to him by Jackson. According to director Dan Reed, Safechuck miraculously found the rings just in time for “Leaving Neverland” and that’s when they shot the infamous scene. So the obvious question is, did the rings that Safechuck showed in the movie really come from Michael Jackson? Or did Safechuck purchase them himself from eBay or some jewelry store to fool viewers? 🤔
