HBO Pulls Plug On Neverland Documentary, Oprah Deletes Interviews With Accusers

It appears HBO has planned to stop airing the Leaving Neverland documentary this month. According to HBO’s website, the only listing for the Michael Jackson-related series is April 17. There are no further dates listed after that even though the original end time was scheduled for September.

The integrity of Jackson’s accusers — James Safechuck and Wade Robson — was called into question earlier this month after a key component in Safechuck’s account of sexual abuse was proved to be impossible.

Safechuck claimed Jackson sexually assaulted him from 1988 to 1992. While both under oath and in the documentary interviews, he explained one particular incident happened at the Neverland train station, but the train station didn’t begin construction until 1993.

Meanwhile it looks like HBO has quietly taken the documentary off the air. According to reports, the network was suppose to air Leaving Neverland until September but now the doc is ending this week.

It may also have something to do with the fact that The Estate of Michael Jackson is currently suing HBO and Michael’s nephews are raising money to film a counter documentary.

Oprah Winfrey also seems to be distancing herself from the documentary. All of her public tweets regarding Leaving Neverland have been removed and the interviews she conducted have disappeared from her YouTube channel.

Both HBO and Oprah have yet to comment publicly.
