Following HBO's airing of "Leaving Neverland," a documentary which paints Michael Jackson as a pedophile, "The Simpsons" has decided to pull an old episode featuring Jackson's voice.
Reuters reports that the animated show featured The King of Pop in 1991, back in its third series, in a episode called “Stark Raving Dad”.
Simpsons producer James L. Brooks told the Wall Street Journal, "It feels clearly the only choice to make.”
In “Leaving Neverland”, two adult men claimed that they were befriended and groomed by Jackson who sexually abused them, starting at ages of 7 and 10 in the early 1990s.
Michael Jackson’s family have slammed the documentary, calling it a “public lynching,” saying that he was “100 percent innocent.”
His estate also filed a lawsuit against HBO in February.
