In 2005, Wade testified in Jackson’s defense at the People v. Jackson trial. He said that Michael had never abused him.
After Michael’s death in 2009, Robson declared:
“His music, his movement, his personal words of inspiration and encouragement and his unconditional love will live inside of me forever.”
In 2013, he claimed that he was molested at Neverland Ranch by Jackson when he was seven years old. In addition, Wade said that the abuse went on for about seven years.
When Robson was 7-years-old, Michael said to him:
”We can never tell anyone what WE are doing. People are ignorant and would never understand that we love each other and this is how we show it.”
Michael denied all allegations of sexual abuse made against him.
In May 2019, Jackson’s mother responded:
“Wade Robson is lying through his teeth and he knows it. And anybody can say it that knows it, knows Michael.”
In the same year, 3 Michael Jackson fan clubs accused Wade of:
“sullying Jackson’s memory by claiming that the star sexually abused them as kids.”
Leaving Neverland

Leaving Neverland documentary was released in 2019. It focuses on James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who said that they were sexually abused as children by Jackson.
It is produced and directed by Dan Reed, a British filmmaker.
During the documentary, Dan Reed said:
“A jury would have to weigh up evidence – of which there is plenty – and decide that their claims were valid.”
Dan Reed also said:
”And damages would then be awarded against the Jackson estate. Some people would call that justice.”
The attorney who took Robson’s hours of lengthy deposition ahead of the King Of Pop’s 2005 child molestation trial said that James Safechuck and Robson are lying about being abused by Michael Jackson.
He added that the ”Leaving Neverland” documentary is not ”balanced,” saying it’s a:
”one-sided attack on a dead man from two perjurers.”
Michael Jackson’s nephew, Taj Jackson, has defended Michael’s reputation, declaring:
”If you look at the timeline, which is what we’ve been trying to say to people, Wade was doing tribute shows after tribute shows, he even begged for the Cirque Du Soleil choreography job.”
Taj went on to say:
”Once the estate said no on that, he started secretly writing a book about his abuse and he shopped it around and nobody picked it up.”
Taj Jackson later added:
”A year later he comes out publicly with it. That’s in the deposition, that’s not just me saying it.”
Michael Jackson’s niece, Brandi Jackson, said that Robson is lying in Leaving Neverland documentary about Jackson allegedly sexually abusing him as a child. She said:
“[Wade] was not describing my uncle. He was describing a totally different person, but not my uncle.”
Note – Wade dated Brandi Jackson, the daughter of Jackie Jackson, for seven years.
