Michael Jackson accuser Wade Robson speaks out on muting of singer's music

Wade Robson, one of the two men who have accused Michael Jackson of child sexual abuse in Leaving Neverland, has weighed in on whether the singer’s music should be muted.

Robson, along with James Safechuck, shares detailed allegations against Jackson in Dan Reed’s four-hour documentary, which was released in the UK and in the US earlier this month.

The dancer and choreographer spoke with TMZ on Monday afternoon at Los Angeles International Airport, where he was asked whether he believes other people should now refrain from listening to Jackson’s music in light of the film.

“I don’t have any moral authority to make a judgement for everyone else on that,” he said.

“I don’t listen to his music because I have a personal experience with it. But that’s everyone’s individual choice.”

Robson expressed the hope that the documentary will prompt people to “question in general who it is that we’re worshipping and why”.

Jackson’s family has denounced the film and denied the allegations against the singer.

Leaving Neverland has been acquired by broadcasters around the world, with rights being bought in 130 territories.

Several radio stations removed Jackson’s songs from their playlists following the release of the documentary.

Reed has previously expressed his opinion on whether Jackson’s music should be muted, telling Metro: “It seems to have had an effect on people who have watched the film, the reaction I’ve heard most often is that people don’t want to hear his music.

“But it’s a personal thing. I wouldn’t get behind a campaign to ban his music, I don’t think that makes any sense.”
