1. Inconsistent Timeline in Safechuck’s Claims: James Safechuck claimed he was abused between 1988 – 1992 and he repeated this sentiment 9 times for over a decade. He claimed the alleged abuse stopped in 1992 when he was 14 years old, and Jackson replaced him with a younger boy because he was too old.  He elaborated into a story of alleged abuse in a room upstairs in the Neverland train station. The Neverland station was not built until 1994, two years after the alleged abuse ended, making his timeline impossible.
  2. Robson’s Changing Testimony: Wade Robson testified under oath in 2005 that Michael Jackson never molested him. He only changed his story years later, after failing to secure work from the Michael Jackson Estate.
  3. Contradictory Grand Canyon Story: Wade Robson’s mother, Joy Robson, testified twice that her  family went on a trip to the 1990 Grand Canyon. In 2016 she was specifically asked if that included her two kids too, she said yes. In 1993 she stated that before 1993 Wade had never been to the ranch without her. This contradicts Wade’s claim that he was left alone with Jackson at Neverland in 1990 February.
  4. Lack of Mention of All Dismissals in Court: “Leaving Neverland” did not disclose that both Robson’s and Safechuck’s late creditor claims and lawsuits were dismissed by the court. It also did not mention how the two lied to circumvent the statute of limitations. It was clear through the legal proceedings that judge Beckloff and later by judge Young both found their claims very troublesome. Regarding one of Robson’s lies Beckloff even stated, “no rational trier of fact could possibly believe Robson’s sworn statements”
  5. No Financial Motive Disclosed: The film failed to mention that both Robson and Safechuck had significant financial motives, having filed multimillion-dollar lawsuits against Jackson’s estate. Robson only filed his claim after he did not get a job to work on a project created by the Michael Jackson estate. Safechuck only accused Jackson after his parents’ company was sued for significant damages.
  6. There is No Evidence of Coercion or Threats: Robson and Safechuck both claimed they were coerced into silence by Jackson, but there is no credible evidence or witnesses to support these claims.
  7. Robson’s Continued Praise of Jackson: After Jackson’s death, Robson continued to praise him publicly and worked on projects to honor Jackson, contradicting his later claims of associating Jackson with horrible trauma and Jackson’s music triggering him.
  8. Contradicted by Other Witnesses: Numerous people who were close to Jackson as kids, including Brett Barnes and Macaulay Culkin, testified before and came forward after Leaving Neverland aired to reiterate that they spent significant time with Jackson and were never abused, directly contradicting Robson’s and Safechuck’s allegations.
  9. Documented Financial Struggles: Robson faced significant financial difficulties before making his allegations, including struggling to secure jobs in the entertainment industry, suggesting a possible motive for his claims.
  10. Misleading Editing in “Leaving Neverland”: The film edited statements and timelines to create a more compelling narrative, such as using footage from different time periods to falsely suggest a continuous relationship and grooming by Jackson.
  11. Fabricated Stories Similar to Fictional Works: Many details in Robson’s and Safechuck’s stories, such as the “mock wedding” and Jackson showing Safechuck “foreign books” closely resemble ideas and scenarios from Victor Gutierrez’s discredited, fictional pro-pedophilia book.
  12. Documented Positive Relationship Post-Abuse: Neither Robson nor Safechuck wanted to stay away from Jackson during or after the alleged abuse or showed any sign of abuse that child sexual abuse victims typically show.  Robson had publicly and privately spoken highly of Jackson on multiple occasions going so far as to name Jackson as one of the reasons he believed in a pure goodness of humankind.
  13. Behavior Inconsistent with Trauma: While Wade Robson paints Neverland Ranch as a place he associates with pain and trauma, he not only continued to visit the property, he also asked Michael Jackson’s assistant if he could have his wedding at Neverland Ranch. Both Robson and Safechuck visited the ranch well after the alleged abuse for no other reason but to have fun.
  14. Safechuck’s Claims of Isolation: Safechuck alleged that Jackson isolated him from his family and friends, but there is ample evidence showing that Jackson encouraged family visits and had many people around him, contradicting the isolation claim.  Along with family and various others Safechuck was around while on tour, various vacations, and at Neverland, he stated that Jackson even welcomed Safechuck’s best friend Luke to join him at Neverland.
  15. False Narrative of Brett Barnes and Macaulay Culkin: Leaving Neverland strongly implied that Brett Barnes and Macaulay Culkin were also victims, but both have consistently denied any abuse. In response to the film Barnes lawyer sent a letter to HBO, where it states, “Mr. Barnes still considers him [Michael Jackson] to have been one the best friends he has ever had. That you would produce a film strongly implying that Mr. Barnes was sexually abused by one of his best friends is outrageous. That no one even attempted to contact Mr. Barnes to ask about such accusations is beyond the pale.”
  16. Inconsistent Lawsuits: Robson’s and Safechuck’s creditor claims and lawsuits against Jackson’s companies contained numerous inconsistencies and changing narratives, weakening their credibility and the validity of their claims. Both Safechuck and Robson repeatedly amended their complaints, making alterations to specifically answer the issues the judge would have with his complaint.
  17. Brandi Jackson’s Relationship with Wade: After the release of Leaving Neverland, Jackson’s niece Brandi Jackson spoke out against Wade’s story “Wade and I were together for over 7 years, but I bet that isn’t in his “documentary” because it would ruin his timeline. And did I mention, it was my uncle, Michael Jackson, who set us up? Wade is not a victim, Wade Robson Is a Liar”
  18. Unmentioned Legal Rulings: Several legal rulings and motions filed by Jackson’s estate and defense teams that highlighted the inconsistencies and fabrications in Robson’s and Safechuck’s claims were omitted from the film.
  19. Lack of Prior Allegations from Other Guests: Thousands of children visited Neverland Ranch over the years, including many who spent significant time alone with Jackson. The vast majority of these individuals, now adults, have never made any allegations of inappropriate behavior. The notion that Jackson built Neverland Ranch to “lure” children to the property to abuse them is implausible considering the sheer number of children and families that have stayed at the property and only a few accused him of doing anything inappropriate between 1988 – present, while so many others steadfastly defend Jackson.
