The Michael Jackson Debate

from The Next Best Thing · host Jonathan B. Lerner

Leaving Neverland, a new HBO documentary, tells the story of two men: Wade Robson and James Safechuck. They accuse Michael Jackson of having sexually abused them for years, beginning when they were respectively about 7 and 10 years old. Jackson faced several allegations that he molested young boys during the latter part of his career, and this documentary has rekindled all kinds of interest in the singers alleged crimes. There's no shortage of Jackson defenders, though, and Jonathan went head-to-head with one of the most fervent. Will Fritz, a Kansas City based actor and massage therapist, thinks that all we've heard about Michael Jackson is a series of lies and fabrications, made up by people seeking fame and fortune, nothing else. Tune in for what became a fairly heated conversation.
