Dan Reed produced the documentary titled “Leaving Neverland,” which delved into the allegations against Michael Jackson regarding his interactions with two young boys during the height of his fame. Regrettably, the bold examination of this global pop star’s controversial past put Reed’s life in danger.
In an interview with The Guardian, Reed spoke about the dangerous situations he faced due to his documentary. He explained that he’s encountered individuals who wanted him dead. “I’ve had people try to track me down. I’ve had threats from armed individuals who said they would shoot me. I’ve been threatened numerous times,” he stated.
The filmmaker did not let the backlash come in his way, as he is set to premiere a sequel to the 2019 expose, which was released on HBO. The award-winning documentary featured Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who were allegedly assaulted by the Smooth Criminal hitmaker as juveniles.
At the time of the first film’s release, both Reed and the subjects of his documentary were targeted by the masses. Some of Jackson’s ardent fans accused the creators of using the late singer’s name for monetary gain as he was no longer here to defend himself.
In response to further details about the supposed threats, Reed confided to the media that he often associates with aggressive individuals and wasn’t alarmed until the circumstances became too risky. However, in this specific instance, he was caught off guard by the direct, confrontational intimidations.
People tried to find his home address to send an anonymous parcel, which was something he took seriously. On the contrary, people from China sending him emails was something he didn’t take so seriously.
He mentioned they’ll need to board an airplane, but he’s genuinely thrilled and optimistic that the upcoming sequel will capture a broader viewer base.
The upcoming sequel to the hit 2019 documentary will pick up from where it left off. It will follow the alleged victims, Robson and Safechuck, as they fight a legal battle with the Jackson estate to seek to hold the singer’s enablers accountable for the abuse they claim to have suffered.
Leaving Neverland 2 will first premiere on Channel 4 in the UK on March 18.
