Sweet jesus. Story about estates responce no6 most read on the BBC news site. I guess thats why sometimes its better to not gove these people oxygen. Mind you its gonna be shown in the uk so gonna get attention anyway. Anyone know the production company behind it. Not the "paedos"at world of wonder?

[From Motown To Your Town]

I'm sure it is going to have the same cast of characters - Diamond, Clips of Sneddon, Feldman, the fired maids and all the others liars.

I notice from headlines that the Mirror is declaring these are "new sex attack claims".

Dear God when will these people either (a) get a conscience or (b) do the right thing and report fairly???

[MJsAngelOfMusic]

This is all ridiculous! I can't believe it's 2019 and Michael is still going through this ish! There have to be some sort of defamation laws being broken. I think I saw someone said since the film maker is British and Britain has defamation laws, can the estate do something do to that. I find it crazy that there is nothing they can do! Argh! I'm so angry!

I think I read somewhere that defamation laws don't apply to the deceased.
But the Estate can't allow this to be shown, and neither can we.

This is the most disappointing aspect of this. It will be shown on two, two hour shows on consecutive nights on Channel 4 in the UK. So will get plenty of attention.

I’m assuming this is based on interviews with Wade and Jimmy Safechuck? If so, this is clearly a smear and an attempt by both of them to cash in and earn money because they failed with their lawsuit against the Estate.

4 hour doc shown over two nights? Well at least no ones gonna watch that.

[dam2040]

Channel 4 showed the disgusting “Michael Jackson’s Kids” back in the day. Ofcom supported it and simply said if Michael was on trial in the UK it wouldn’t be shown.

Disgusting.

[MJsAngelOfMusic]

I read that too! and it makes me so mad! Though Michael is no longer with us physically to fight, we will continue to fight for him!

You’d hope not, but no doubt it’ll get plenty of publicity before it’s shown - tv commercials etc. Not sure if you’re from the UK or not, but channel 4 is one of the most watched tv channels here.

The problem as ever with all of this is that the casual observer doesn’t know the history of these allegations and the people involved, so they will just accept it as fact.

Expected this since seeing the reaction to the R Kelly doc, surprised it's this quick admittedly.

It's easy to make a quick buck out of a mega celebrity that's dead and can't defend himself.

If this is Wade and JAmes, there are plenty of things that can discredit these clowns. If they show this doc they better expose what these guys did and lost. R Kelly case is far different than Jackson and with the age of FAKE MEDIA, the media got to be careful as well.

I’m guessing this has been in the works for quite some time. Since their lawsuit failed, they’re obviously finding other ways to get money.
