Michael Jackson's Legacy and 'Leaving Neverland'

The accusations against Michael Jackson regarding child molestation surfaced publicly for the first time in 1993, followed by another wave of allegations a decade later. Despite these allegations, Jackson was never held accountable for his actions, and his public image remained largely intact until the release of the documentary 'Leaving Neverland'. This film brought to light haunting details revealed by the accusers, which significantly tarnished his legacy.
