“Leaving Neverland” director Dan Reed says the public can’t see Michael Jackson as a pedophile because he has “metastasized into something much bigger than who he actually was": "He’s become part of the collective imagination, and the collective imagination can never include the fact that he’s a pedophile. It’s just not possible. You can’t say, God, that guy liked to have sex with children, but isn’t his music great? That’s not a narrative people can hold in their minds." variety.com/2026/film/feat…



























“Leaving Neverland” director Dan Reed on the #Michael biopic showing most scenes of Michael Jackson with children while visiting sick kids in a hospital: "It suggests that Jackson’s engagement with children was entirely benign and motivated by nothing but philanthropy. Jeffrey Epstein was a great philanthropist, and Harvey Weinstein was a great filmmaker, but there’s unfortunately another dimension to their stories. In Jackson’s case, he’s such a cultural phenomenon that there’s nothing you can do to eclipse that... They’re saying that the reason Jackson liked children is because he’s an angel and just wanted to be nice to children, not that he wanted to have sex with them." variety.com/2026/film/feat…
