The Simpsons cut Michael Jackson episode where he plays mental hospital patient
The makers of The Simpsons have pulled an episode featuring Michael Jackson, after child abuse allegations against the singer resurfaced in a documentary.
“It feels clearly the only choice to make,” Brooks said, adding that the production team “were of one mind on this.” The documentary comes after the singer was put on trial in 2005 for allegedly molesting a minor at his Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. Jackson was acquitted of all charges at the time, and denied the allegations.
The move comes after radio stations in New Zealand and Canada announced they would stop playing Jackson’s music followiong the documentary's release. Leon Wratt, group content director for New Zealand’s MediaWorks, confirmed it had been guided by its audience to not play the singers music for “a little while now.”
