As expected, Leaving Neverland's detailed exploration of Michael Jackson's alleged abuses divided his celebrity fans. HBO stayed true to their word, and part one of the two-part documentary aired on March 3, 2019. "This will allow everyone the opportunity to assess the film and the claims in it for themselves."
