“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."

🚨 Let’s put this into perspective:
Jimmy Saville - 600+ victims
Jeffrey Epstein - 350+ victims
Harvey Weinstein - 100+ victims
Gary Glitter - 50+ victims
Michael Jackson - 5 extortion attempts
It is worth noting that the “new allegations” against Jackson, an obvious planned media attack, were made on the exact same day the #MichaelMovie premiered.
The timing appears deliberate and continues a long pattern of the media using Michael Jackson as a convenient smokescreen for far more prolific predators.
I feel like Christian was actually pissed here but played it off as a joke… this twist completely screwed him. He also was forced to give away an idol he found early in the season from a twist. Like him or not he got totally screwed #Survivor50

What a disgrace
Still riding on the coat tails of those who used MJ has a scapegoat
It's funny how Epstein is never made fun of, Neither is Diddy
But it is always MJ
