Jacko ‘abuse film’ block bid
MICHAEL Jackson’s estate is trying to stop a film accusing him of child abuse airing in the UK.
Leaving Neverland is due to be shown on Channel 4 next month.
Lawyers for the estate claim the documentary breaks British broadcasting guidelines because film-makers did not get a response from his family.
In response Channel 4 said: “It’s appropriate that the denials Jackson made during his life are included in the programme.”
