The two men each met Michael Jackson as children in the 1980s and allege the pop star sexually abused them for years while showering their families with attention and gifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Jackson's family members—particularly, his nephew Taj and brothers Jackie, Marlon and Tito Jackson—have denied these allegations. Last week, Jackson's estate \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michael-jackson-estate-sues-hbo-over-leaving-neverland-documentary/\">filed a lawsuit against HBO\u003c/a> over the documentary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was one of the kindest, most gentle, loving, caring people I knew,\" says Robson, who eventually built a career as a choreographer for artists such as Britney Spears and NSYNC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He also sexually abused me for seven years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soft-spoken and at times hesitant, Safechuck seems the more subdued of the two men. He says Jackson told him their activities were the singer's first sexual experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One heartbreaking sequence from the film toggles between two jarringly different stories. In one, Safechuck's mother, Stephanie, speaks about how she overheard Jackson and her son playing together, by themselves, in the singer's hotel room, doing \"just kid things\" like reading books. In the other, her son describes in detail how the pop star used those private moments to kiss him and perform oral sex on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's the biggest entertainer and he's a creative genius, and that creative genius thinks that you are special,\" Safechuck says ruefully, after outlining how Jackson would abuse him. \"What's not to like, right?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_Ze8LjzV7Q\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Leaving Neverland\u003c/em> makes a powerful case against the King of Pop. The film's impact comes from its unwavering focus on the two men and their allegations. The harrowing tales are delivered in excruciating detail to the camera, bolstered by accounts from their mothers, wives and a few other relatives. They each describe a textbook case in which a superstar pedophile groomed children and their families to accept his advances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson met both men when they were children and he was at his creative peak. Robson won a dance contest at age 5 in his native Australia back in 1987; the first prize was meeting Jackson. Safechuck starred in a famous \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RnwEklPC8Y\">1986 Pepsi commercial\u003c/a> in which he rummages through the singer's dressing room before Jackson enters, surprising him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both cases, the men describe how Jackson paid them loads of attention, bringing them onstage to bask in the white-hot spotlight of his fame. He would take them on his concert tours and talk with them on the phone for hours.

And why did pop music fans back in the day accept the argument that he was too childlike to be dangerous? Such explanations were often used publicly to justify stories of Jackson sharing a bed with children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, both men explain how they fell out of favor with Jackson as they aged, only to find the singer renew their friendship after he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993 and arrested on child molestation charges in 2003. Back then, Safechuck and Robson denied that Jackson ever abused them, deciding later to reverse their stories as, they say, they were grappling with depression and emotional trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003cem>Leaving Neverland\u003c/em>'s greatest advantage—its focus on the two men's personal testimony—is also its biggest weakness, as no one outside their families is interviewed by the filmmakers to provide a wider context.

However, there are other sources who could have corroborated the men's stories, including former employees of Jackson questioned during the pop star's 2005 molestation trial (Jackson was acquitted on all charges).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a stark contrast to another recent, attention-getting documentary, Lifetime's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/03/681851521/lifetimes-series-about-r-kelly-depicts-a-darker-side-to-the-singer\">Surviving R.

The two men each met Michael Jackson as children in the 1980s and allege the pop star sexually abused them for years while showering their families with attention and gifts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Jackson's family members—particularly, his nephew Taj and brothers Jackie, Marlon and Tito Jackson—have denied these allegations. Last week, Jackson's estate \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michael-jackson-estate-sues-hbo-over-leaving-neverland-documentary/\">filed a lawsuit against HBO\u003c/a> over the documentary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was one of the kindest, most gentle, loving, caring people I knew,\" says Robson, who eventually built a career as a choreographer for artists such as Britney Spears and NSYNC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He also sexually abused me for seven years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soft-spoken and at times hesitant, Safechuck seems the more subdued of the two men. He says Jackson told him their activities were the singer's first sexual experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One heartbreaking sequence from the film toggles between two jarringly different stories. In one, Safechuck's mother, Stephanie, speaks about how she overheard Jackson and her son playing together, by themselves, in the singer's hotel room, doing \"just kid things\" like reading books. In the other, her son describes in detail how the pop star used those private moments to kiss him and perform oral sex on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's the biggest entertainer and he's a creative genius, and that creative genius thinks that you are special,\" Safechuck says ruefully, after outlining how Jackson would abuse him. \"What's not to like, right?\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/R_Ze8LjzV7Q'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/R_Ze8LjzV7Q'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cem>Leaving Neverland\u003c/em> makes a powerful case against the King of Pop. The film's impact comes from its unwavering focus on the two men and their allegations. The harrowing tales are delivered in excruciating detail to the camera, bolstered by accounts from their mothers, wives and a few other relatives. They each describe a textbook case in which a superstar pedophile groomed children and their families to accept his advances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson met both men when they were children and he was at his creative peak. Robson won a dance contest at age 5 in his native Australia back in 1987; the first prize was meeting Jackson. Safechuck starred in a famous \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RnwEklPC8Y\">1986 Pepsi commercial\u003c/a> in which he rummages through the singer's dressing room before Jackson enters, surprising him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both cases, the men describe how Jackson paid them loads of attention, bringing them onstage to bask in the white-hot spotlight of his fame. He would take them on his concert tours and talk with them on the phone for hours. This was when Jackson was at the height of his stardom, as screaming crowds mobbed his every public appearance around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were warning signs: Safechuck's mother, Stephanie, describes how, as the tour went on, she was housed in hotel rooms farther and farther away from Jackson and her son.

To make this tortilla stew easier, I decided to cut a pretty major corner and not put any rice in it. (Look. Every time I attempt to make rice, I have to throw a saucepan out, and I am just really sick of doing that...) Unfortunately, once I realized how insanely, burn-your-lips-off spicy this was sans rice, I flew into a blind panic and started throwing things in it in an attempt to take the edge off.

To make this tortilla stew easier, I decided to cut a pretty major corner and not put any rice in it. (Look. Every time I attempt to make rice, I have to throw a saucepan out, and I am just really sick of doing that...) Unfortunately, once I realized how insanely, burn-your-lips-off spicy this was sans rice, I flew into a blind panic and started throwing things in it in an attempt to take the edge off.

However, the benefit of this quickly presented itself, as Kris actively asked me to cut corners. Enchilada sauce? Buy it from a supermarket! Roast turkey? Get it from a deli! As a result, the recipe was so foolproof, even when I added avocado and bell pepper to the dish (because adult meals are supposed to have some sort of vegetable content), it was a piece of cake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">\u003cstrong>Result:\u003c/strong> You know those people who think Kris Jenner's main talent is making talentless people feel talented?

Reid, as Meg, flits effortlessly between the plain talk of the teenager she is growing into at home and the woozy wonder of the child she still is. And McCabe does his job perfectly, which is to be supernaturally endearing, and then supernaturally ... something else. And while the three glitter-eyed women who guide Meg on her way are elaborately dressed and filmed as goddesses, their performances are generous and focused: They are there to serve the story, and they don't dominate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DuVernay's vision of the battle of good and evil is fundamentally humanist and hopeful, realistic but determined. While religious echoes are evident, the greatest good-doing in the story comes from people dependent on their connections to each other. At the screening I attended, DuVernay delivered a filmed introduction in which she talked about the film being a love story about childhood and the potential of children, but also about its appropriateness in \"these divisive times.\" While \u003cem>A Wrinkle In Time \u003c/em>never feels specifically topical or political, there are moments in which it seems to invite exploration of a kind of trust that's in very short supply in any divisive times, these included. Several of its emotional payoffs rely less on nobility than on faith in other people. As in any good hero's journey — and \u003cem>A Wrinkle In Time \u003c/em>follows that formula quite faithfully — identifying allies and learning to work both in their presence and in their absence is critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible that you have to have been a certain kind of kid to feel the maximum effects of this story. It's possible that not everyone will experience, as I did, tears arising spontaneously in response not to either sadness or joy, but to truth, to the breaking open of emotional secrets. Tears not jerked, but loosed. It's possible that some of us who are Megs, some of us who waited too long to learn the lessons of Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who, will feel things others won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are those who will not get past Sky Oprah.

And in one late sequence, the film's commitment to Meg's visual ordinariness — filming and dressing her as a real junior-high girl of the type we've been told she is — pays off richly in her moment of freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_102559\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-102559\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/03/awitsmall_wide-1778b70ec9215f55dc37354d34b0d63c56fde2eb-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Storm Reid is Meg Murry in 'A Wrinkle In Time'\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The performances DuVernay gets from her young leads are impressive. Reid, as Meg, flits effortlessly between the plain talk of the teenager she is growing into at home and the woozy wonder of the child she still is. And McCabe does his job perfectly, which is to be supernaturally endearing, and then supernaturally ... something else. And while the three glitter-eyed women who guide Meg on her way are elaborately dressed and filmed as goddesses, their performances are generous and focused: They are there to serve the story, and they don't dominate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DuVernay's vision of the battle of good and evil is fundamentally humanist and hopeful, realistic but determined. While religious echoes are evident, the greatest good-doing in the story comes from people dependent on their connections to each other. At the screening I attended, DuVernay delivered a filmed introduction in which she talked about the film being a love story about childhood and the potential of children, but also about its appropriateness in \"these divisive times.\" While \u003cem>A Wrinkle In Time \u003c/em>never feels specifically topical or political, there are moments in which it seems to invite exploration of a kind of trust that's in very short supply in any divisive times, these included. Several of its emotional payoffs rely less on nobility than on faith in other people. As in any good hero's journey — and \u003cem>A Wrinkle In Time \u003c/em>follows that formula quite faithfully — identifying allies and learning to work both in their presence and in their absence is critical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's possible that you have to have been a certain kind of kid to feel the maximum effects of this story. It's possible that not everyone will experience, as I did, tears arising spontaneously in response not to either sadness or joy, but to truth, to the breaking open of emotional secrets. Tears not jerked, but loosed. It's possible that some of us who are Megs, some of us who waited too long to learn the lessons of Mrs. Which, Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who, will feel things others won't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are those who will not get past Sky Oprah.

He told DeGeneres that, post-\u003cem>Good Will Hunting\u003c/em>, people had asked if he and Ben Affleck were gay. He stated: \"I'm not going to throw my friends under the bus who are gay, and act like it's some kind of disease.\" In what way is confirming your sexuality the same as treating homosexuality as an illness?

Although it was developed for commercial purposes, I felt there was room for me to play and put many elements of Chinese culture into it.” Hard not to roll your eyes at that last part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also in 2015, Damon displayed some insidious misogyny when he blamed Jennifer Lopez for Ben Affleck's image problem during their much-publicized 2002-2004 relationship. \"It was like he was being cast in a role, that he was a talentless kind of meathead, with his whole relationship with Jennifer Lopez,\" Damon told \u003ca href=\"http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/martians-matt-damon-talks-bourne-828093\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>The Hollywood Reporter\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \"He just got cast as this person that he wasn’t... It was painful to be his friend, because it wasn’t fair, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's extremely difficult to side with Damon's version of events, given the fact that Affleck's on-camera behavior during that period including \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-41589352\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sexually assaulting an MTV host\u003c/a> while TV cameras rolled, and repeatedly talking about the breasts of a Canadian TV host, also while on the air.

Affleck's behavior was clearly odious, without any input from J-Lo whatsoever. It seems like it's easier for Damon to blame a woman than it is to question his best friend's conduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent Damon-related screw up concerns ex-\u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> journalist, Sharon Waxman, who \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2017/10/damon-crowe-reportedly-helped-kill-nyt-weinstein-article.html?utm_campaign=vulture&utm_source=tw&utm_medium=s1http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/matt-damon-russell-crowe-harvey-weinstein-sexual-allegations-fired-killed-story-a7991981.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made claims\u003c/a> that a 2004 article she worked on to expose Harvey Weinstein's alleged penchant for sexual harassment and assault was buried after Russell Crowe and Matt Damon called the newspaper to defend their producer pal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damon strongly denied Waxman's claims, telling \u003ca href=\"http://deadline.com/2017/10/matt-damon-harvey-weinstein-russell-crowe-sexual-abuse-scandal-interview-1202185574/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Deadline\u003c/em>\u003c/a>: \"My recollection was that it was about a one minute phone call. Harvey had called me and said, 'They’re writing a story about Fabrizio [Lombardo, of Miramax]... and it’s really negative. Can you just call and tell her what your experience with Fabrizio was? So I did, and that’s what I said to her.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Damon also offered his thoughts on the allegations against Weinstein, saying: \"Everybody’s saying we all knew. That’s not true. This type of predation happens behind closed doors, and out of public view.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then: \"Even before I was famous, I didn’t abide this kind of behavior.
