Michael Jackson Doc Leaving Neverland Alleges Pop Star Abused 5-Year-Old And "Married" One Of His Victims

These details are pretty horrific.

Michael Jackson is back in the spotlight after last night's premiere of the new documentary Leaving Neverland, but not in a good way!

The film features two men that allege the pop star sexually abused them as young boys. Wade Robson and James Safechuck detailed their experiences with the music icon, and both of them have eerily similar stories about how MJ wooed their families and gained their trust in order to commit his crimes.

Safechuck met Jackson after they starred in a Pepsi commercial together, and he claims Jackson taught him how to masturbate so that he could watch.

"He set it up like I’m going to show you something that everybody does and you’ll enjoy it. It felt like you were bonding, in a way. The tour was the start of this sexual, like, couple relationship," Safechuck admitted.

For his part, Robson met the chart topper at just 5-years-old during a mall dance competition in his native Australia. They reconnected during a trip to LA when he was 8-years-old, and that's when things turned sexual. Robson claims Jackson performed oral sex on him, and tried to convince him it was normal.

"You and I were brought together by God. We were meant to be together. This is how we show love," he said the singer told him.

The creepiest detail of all? Jackson alleged "married" Safechuck at one point!

"We were like this married couple. And I say married because we had this mock wedding ceremony. We did this in his bedroom and we filled out some vows. We would go buy them [rings] at jewelry stores and pretend like they were for somebody else, like for a female. We would pretend my small hand fit whatever female we were buying it for. I was really into jewelry and he would reward me with jewelry for doing sexual acts for him," he confessed.

Jackson was well aware his behavior was evil, and trained the boys to avoid getting caught.

"He would run drills with me where we’d be in the hotel room and he would pretend like somebody was coming in and you had to get dressed as fast as possible without making noise. So not getting caught was a big kind of fundamental [thing]. It was very much a secret. He would tell me that if anybody found out, his life would be over and my life would be over, and that’s something he tells you over and over again," Safechuck explained.

Robson grew so close to Jackson, he was shattered when he was cast aside for MacCauley Culkin.

"That experience was really hard for me. This was the first time I came up against the new friend Macaulay Culkin. Macaulay was where I was, in my previous trips. Right by Michael’s side [at] every moment… and now I was on the sidelines as far as being Michael’s friend and being his favorite. That was really confusing. He and Michael had all of the connection and secret things that Michael and I had before. I could recognize that. There was jealousy from me, hurt, confusion," he revealed.

In February, Jackson's estate filed a lawsuit to block the airing of the film, but HBO went ahead anyways.

"Despite the desperate lengths taken to undermine the film, our plans remain unchanged. HBO will move forward with the airing of Leaving Neverland, the two-part documentary, on March 3 and 4. This will allow everyone the opportunity to assess the film and the claims in it for themselves," HBO said in a statement.

If this is all true, we're completely disgusted.

 

North West Gets Her Dance On During Daddy Kanye's Sunday Service

Posted on Mon Mar 4th, 2019 8:10am PDT       By X17 Staff



Thank goodness she didn't inherit her mom's awful moves!

North West boogied down to SWV's "Weak" and Soul II Soul’s “Back to Life" during daddy Kanye's Sunday service, and she didn't seem to have any shyness despite the huge crowd gathered for the event.

Yeezy put the service together for family and friends, and his main motivation is to lift people up through music. Khloe attended as well, despite all the turmoil in her personal life. Her brother-in-law wants her to know that he has her back, and that she can count on him in times of crisis.

"Kanye thinks of himself as the godfather in this family, and he has the mindset that if anyone messes with one of them, they mess with them all. So right now, Tristan and Jordyn are on his list. If he never talks to them again, it's fine by him. He wasn't close to them in the first place," a source dished to People.

"He's protective of the Kardashian women, all of them, and if anyone hurts them, he will always be their biggest advocate. He's 100 per cent on Khloé's side," the source added.

We never thought Kim and Kanye's marriage would last this long, but it's rapidly becoming clear that they have the most stable relationship of all the K clan!

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's kids don't have kid clothes ... they have hypebeast designer-wear that would break most people's bank! No Oshkosh, no Garanimals, no Gap -- these kids where Gucci and Balenciaga!

Six-year-old Penelope throws on her $520 Gucci nylon zip-up and her $275 Balenciaga sock sneakers, as did Reign, 4, and Mason grabs a logo-heavy Champion hoodie with his gold chains tucked safely underneath.

Who says Keeping Up With the Kardashians isn't REALITY TV?!

 

Ariana Grande And Big Sean Reunite After He Breaks Up With His Girlfriend ... Ariana's Not Bored Anymore!

Posted on Sun Mar 3rd, 2019 10:34am PDT       By X17 Staff


Yay! Are Ariana Grande and Big Sean really back together?

Well if her single, "Break Up With You Girlfriend, I'm Bored" is any evidence, Ms. Grande's had her eye on Sean for a hot minute ...

The former couple were spotted leaving a San Fernando Valley recording studio together late last week, Ariana hiding her face with her cute puppy. Sean was behind the wheel of his black Mercedes sedan and it really reminded us of old times ... like they were totally back together!

Adding to it, Sean just broke up with long-time girlfriend Jhene Aiko in December, so he's a free man.

Meanwhile, Ariana's got a lot on her mind and it's mostly about healing from a tough few years. She posted a heartfelt message to her fans on Friday about getting through the Manchester tragedy, Mac Miller's death and through her breakup with Pete Davidson: "mmmmk …. about to embark on my third tour and am for sure deep as f–k in my feelings. and getting my period so…. this is probably gonna be too much. But i just want to say how grateful i am for my life, for the people in it, for the ups and challenges, for the laughter and the pain, for this music and for the lifelong friendships i’ve made thru making it (that includes my friendship with y’all). Maaaaaaaan… i cant really fathom all that has happened over the past few years. I don’t even really know where i’m going with this post but i’m just grateful to be here still. and excited to see you. i’m prolly gonna cry a lot."

We hope Ari has a good time on the road and keeps her head up. And maybe she'll get a little (or a lot of) support from Big Sean!

Khloe Kardashian Says The Breakup Of Her Family Is Tristan's Fault, Not Jordyn's

Posted on Sat Mar 2nd, 2019 4:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Khloe's walking back her previous statement that Jordyn Woods is responsible for the breakup of her family ...

True Thompson's mommy took to Twitter Saturday to apologize and to retract her previous Tweets blaming sis Kylie Jenner's BFF for what happened between the model and Tristan Thompson and she's now blaming it on Tristan.

She was an open book this morning when she posted: "This has been an awful week & I know everyone is sick of hearing about it all (as am I). I’m a rollercoaster of emotions & have said things I shouldn’t have. Honestly, Tristan cheating on me & humiliating me, wasn’t such a shock as the first time."

She went on ... "What’s been harder & more painful is being hurt by someone so close to me. Someone whom I love & treat like a little sister. But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault."

Sounds like there's been a lot of talking going on behind the scenes. Perhaps since Jordyn's Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith hit the Internet, Khloe's felt a little guilty about publicly punishing Woods. She went on to write, "I have to move on with my life & count my blessings, my family, my health, & my beautiful baby True."

Here, here! Now let's just hope she doesn't get roped back in by Tristan ... she DID finally unfollow him on Instagram. Whoa!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Selena Gomez Is Juul'ing!

Posted on Sat Mar 2nd, 2019 10:45am PDT       By X17 Staff



What's THIS?! We spotted Juul vape in Selena Gomez's hand as she entered a Valley studio on Friday. Isn't she supposed to be careful with her health, given her Lupus and kidney transplant?!

Well it certainly seems like she's Juul'ing and we've never known her to be a smoker so we can only imagine it's for pleasure ... OR to intake CBD oil for health-related pain? Or for anxiety?

Perhaps that's an aid for mental health issues she's suffered recently. Some research claims the marijuana extract helps with anxiety and depression, so it's a natural way to treat those problems. Is that what this is???

 

Report: Justin Bieber Has Stayed Away From Selena Gomez To Keep His Marriage To Hailey Baldwin Solid

Posted on Sat Mar 2nd, 2019 9:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Justin Bieber knows what he needs to do to stay faithful to wife Hailey Baldwin! The singer is reportedly FORCING himself to stay away from ex Selena Gomez to ensure his fidelity to his partner.

Perhaps Justin doesn't trust himself around Selena -- after all, lots of people are weak around their first loves -- but her health issues have made it tough. After complications from her kidney transplant which then led to a nervous breakdown, Justin's tendency would be to rush to her side. The desire to go to her, to help her, to nurse her was strong -- hence Justin's numerous public breakdowns right after he and Hailey tied the knot. When he got the news Selena was hospitalized for mental issues, it cause him his own mental issues that he's now been battling.

Justin's been holed up with pal/mentor Pastor Carl Lentz, seeing spiritual guidance and perhaps medical guidance as well. We spotted the singer at the Amen Clinic in LA numerous times before he left town for a self-imposed exile. Reports claim his been dealing with depression and that it's not related to his marriage, but other issues (aka Selena). Seems he's having a hard time letting go and staying away but he knows it's what he needs to do to keep his marriage strong. Question is ... can he do it?

Amanda Bynes Back In Rehab After "Relapse"

Posted on Sat Mar 2nd, 2019 8:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


Poor girl! Amanda Bynes has had a tough time of it ...

The actress entered a mental health facility in 2014 after a very public breakdown involving bizarre social media posts that drew attention to her issues. When she completed treatment she was released to her parents' care and her mother was Bynes' legal conservator over Amanda's "person."

But it seems Bynes' drug use may have caught up with her again. She has admitted smoking pot in her early teens, which progressed to using ecstasy and molly, and to abusing Adderall. She ended up dropping out of the movie Hall Pass because she was too "scatterbrained" to finish filming but it was the Emma Stone film Easy A that made Bynes stop acting all together. She explained: "I literally couldn’t stand my appearance in that movie and I didn’t like my performance. I was absolutely convinced I needed to stop acting after seeing it,” Bynes explained. “I was high on marijuana when I saw that but for some reason, it really started to affect me. I don’t know if it was a drug-induced psychosis or what, but it affected my brain in a different way than it affects other people. It absolutely changed my perception of things."

Is that bad brain chemistry coming back to haunt her? Or perhaps she's using again ... either way, Bynes is clearly struggling and we wish her the best in getting the treatment she needs!
