As a dedicated Michael Jackson fan, like so many others around the world, I am deeply saddened to see the controversial documentary Leaving Neverland still available on the Australian streaming platform, Stan. This documentary, which contains inaccurate and disputed information, presents claims against Michael Jackson that have been heavily questioned and criticized by many. These accusations target a man who is no longer here to defend himself, taking unfair advantage of his absence to fuel sensationalized and misleading narratives.

The documentary relies heavily on testimonies that have faced serious scrutiny and criticism for inconsistencies and questionable timing. In fact, these claims were invalidated in court, and the main accusers even testified under oath that the alleged events did not occur. Prominent journalist and lawyer Dan Abrams of ABC News once said that “just because the claims are shocking… doesn’t make them true.”

It’s important to note that major streaming platforms like HBO and Netflix have already removed Leaving Neverland from their catalogs, recognizing the issues with the documentary’s credibility and fairness. We are asking Stan to consider doing the same in the interest of justice and accuracy.

By removing this documentary, Stan would be standing with responsible and respectful media practices, ensuring that we respect those who can no longer speak for themselves. Let’s make sure that Stan sets an example of integrity, just like other platforms have. Sign the petition to support a more fair and truthful representation of a beloved, iconic figure.
