Wade Robson and Michael Jackson became close friends in the 1990s, and the two frequently visited the singer’s Neverland Ranch. Robson even gave testimony in Jackson’s favor during the 2005 child molestation trial, denying Jackson was guilty of any misconduct. However, Robson launched a lawsuit against the Jackson estate in 2013, claiming that Jackson had molested him while he was a child.

The accusations Robson made against Jackson were extensively reported and generated a lot of controversy. They also brought Jackson’s relationships and his status as the King of Pop under the microscope. The HBO documentary “Leaving Neverland,” which debuted in 2019, included Robson’s allegations and the ensuing legal actions.
