Wade Robson & James Safechuck Speak Out Again: Facing Backlash Over Michael Jackson Allegations

A Decade of Controversy Resurfaces

March 19, 2025: Dancer and choreographer Wade Robson and James Safechuck have once again found themselves in the public spotlight, as the controversy surrounding their abuse allegations against Michael Jackson continues to spark heated debate.

The Backlash & Public Reaction

Over the years, both Robson and Safechuck have faced intense scrutiny from:
Michael Jackson’s estate, which has fought legal battles to dismiss their claims.
Loyal Jackson fans, who have vehemently defended the late pop icon.
Protesters and threats, making them fearful for their safety.

Robson recently described the backlash as “fricking terrifying,” recalling the hostility and threats they have endured since first going public with their accusations.

A Long Legal Battle

The allegations were initially brought forward in 2013, but their claims gained widespread attention following the release of HBO’s documentary Leaving Neverland (2019). In the years since, Jackson’s estate has repeatedly challenged their lawsuits, arguing a lack of evidence and maintaining the late singer’s innocence.

Public Divided on the Issue

While some support Robson and Safechuck’s fight for justice, others believe their accusations are fabricated for financial gain. The debate over Jackson’s legacy remains one of the most polarizing in entertainment history.
