Here are the takeaways from Winfrey's sitdown with Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who allege childhood sexual abuse by Michael Jackson in HBO's controversial documentary.
By Emily Yahr Emily Yahr Style reporter covering pop culture and entertainment Email Bio Follow March 5 at 2:01 AM On Monday night, as soon as HBO finished airing “Leaving Neverland” — the two-part documentary in which two men detailed allegations of childhood sexual abuse by Michael Jackson — the network continued its Jackson coverage. This time, it was anchored by Oprah Winfrey.
Winfrey also said that Jackson’s estate has vehemently denied the accusations and called both Robson and Safechuck liars. Jackson fans have also been vicious, as Winfrey also received backlash before the interview. But she didn’t really seem to care — the topic was too important.

“From night one of the abuse, of the sexual stuff that Michael did to me, he told me it was love,” Robson said. “He told me that he loved me and God brought us together…anything Michael would say to me was gospel.” “You know the Jackson family disagrees with everything that is being said here today," Winfrey said, and asked Reed about a criticism from the estate: Why didn’t he interview anyone in the Jackson family?
