ARE YOU TIRED OF 'LEAVING NEVERLAND'?

Finally a journalist, Mike Smallcombe, the author of 'Making Michael', has proven that some of the child sexual abuse allegations levelled at Michael Jackson by Wade Robson and James Safechuck are impossible to have happened. They include historic testimony by Wade Robson's mother that contradicts Robson's allegations detailed in Leaving Neverland. Smallcombe also claims that a part of James Safechuck's allegation is inconsistent with facts surrounding the construction of Jackson's Neverland's train station.

His findings elicited a simple response from the director of 'Leaving Neverland', the controversial documentary about Michael Jackson. "Yeah, there seems to be no doubt about the station date," wrote Dan Reed. "The date they have wrong, is the end of the abuse."

Responding to Reed's comments with The Mirror, Smallcombe described his comments as "embarrassing". "Because the story has been debunked, it appears Reed is now suddenly wanting to change Safechuck's timeline himself," he said. "Firstly, I'm shocked that he's spoken on Safechuck's behalf. And secondly, it's embarrassing that he feels he has to now change the narrative of the film - which is that the alleged abuse stopped in 1992 - all because part of it has been disproved. He continued: "That's what happens when you take allegations like that at face value, and make no attempts to scrutinise and investigate whether they are true."
