Producers behind the explosive Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland refused to remove footage and mention of Brett Barnes, a former friend of the pop star, which Barnes' attorneys claim leave the false impression he was sexually abused as a child.
According to his lawyers, Barnes was not consulted about the use of his name and likeness in the film, nor did he consent to their use. A letter sent by Barnes' lawyers to HBO claims that Barnes would "suffer significant torment and pain if the film is broadcast and portrays him in this false light"
"The hurt you will cause to Mr. Barnes if you do not reverse course is magnified by the fact that Mr. Barnes and his family considered Mr. Jackson to be a dear family friend for almost twenty years and Mr. Barnes still considers him to have been one of the best friends he has ever had" the letter continues.
Barnes always defended Jackson durning his life and always denied any accuses.
Mr. Barnes still tweets a lot about Mr. Jackson:
