Oprah To Interview Michael Jackson’s ‘Leaving Neverland’ Accusers

Oprah Winfrey will interview two men who accused the late Michael Jackson of sexually abusing them in the upcoming documentary about the music legend.

The TV special, titled “Oprah Winfrey Presents: After Neverland”, will air after the premiere of Leaving Neverland.

Leaving Neverland, directed by Dan Reed, is set to air on HBO on March 3.

Reed’s film follows two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who allege that they were sexually abused by Jackson when they were children.

Jackson’s estate has filed a lawsuit against HBO over the documentary about the king of pop, seeking $100 million in damages.

But the cable TV channel has vowed to go forward with the screening of the documentary.

“Through gut-wrenching interviews with Safechuck, now 40, and Robson, now 36, as well as their mothers, wives and siblings, Leaving Neverland presents their accounts of sustained abuse, exploring the complicated feelings that led both men to confront their experiences after both had a young son of their own,” HBO says about the film.
