Michael Jackson denied all allegations that he abused underage boys during his lifetime, and his estate has done the same in the decade since his death.
But The Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland, which had its world premiere on Friday at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, details Wade Robson and James Safechuck's allegations of abuse.
Critics say the four-hour documentary, which will air on HBO and Channel 4 in the UK, accuses The King of Pop of giving his young male victims jewelry in exchange for sexual acts and even staged a mock wedding complete with vows and a diamond ring. 'MJ gave one of his young male victims jewelry in exchange for sexual acts, and even staged a mock wedding,' wrote Patrick Ryan. 'Leaving Neverland is a horror film - an intimate, obviously believable, sometimes sexually explicit story of two boys who became MIchael Jackson's special "friends" - i.e., lovers - while their oblivious parents went along. Jackson was a fiend - a smooth predator, a monster,' said Jeff Wells of HollywoodElsewhere. 'Feel sick to my stomach after watching Part 1 of #LeavingNeverland doc. Michael Jackson witnesses/sex abuse victims coming off very credible. It's so sexually explicit that counselors are in the lobby,' wrote Mara Reinstein of US Weekly. Jackson's alleged victims, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, are seen talking to the audience (right) during an emotional Q&A session where they were given a standing ovation. Robson is seen posting with The King of Pop on the left.

four-hour documentary
Four hours of a damned lie about a monster who set about ruining the lives of innocent boys with the blessing of their rotten parents!
Filthy pedophile worshiped as an icon when he's nothing but a plastic surgery botched up little queer.
