It was around 1991, and Brandi Jackson was at a photo shoot with her pop star uncle Michael.
It was there that she says she met Wade Robson for the first time. Brandi was nine or 10 years old, just a few months older than Wade.
“We hung out together,” Brandi says. “And then next thing I knew he had asked my uncle Michael if he could get to know me better. He had started to develop a little crush.”
Brandi, a photographer, is the daughter of Jackie Jackson, the oldest member of the Jackson 5. She doesn’t believe her uncle sexually abused anyone, including Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who make their detailed claims of abuse in the documentary Leaving Neverland.
Watch the official Leaving Neverland trailer below. Post continues after.
Brandi gives an account of her relationship with Robson in the YouTube doco Neverland Firsthand, and she believes that her account discredits Robson’s claims.
Brandi says that her uncle organised for her and Robson to spend a week together, with their family members, at his ranch.
“Towards the end of that trip he very sweetly turned to me and asked, ‘Would you be my girlfriend?’ And of course we had gotten along so well, I said yes.”
Brandi says she and Robson had a 10-year friendship, regularly hanging out at each other’s houses. She claims they dated for more than seven years of that time.
“We were very close,” she says.
In Leaving Neverland, Robson alleges that Michael Jackson began abusing him at the age of seven, beginning the first night he spent alone with the singer.
He alleges that the abuse went on for seven years, and included masturbation, oral sex and anal penetration. Robson claims Jackson told him that they would both go to jail if he ever revealed what had gone on between them.
Jackson died in 2009, never having been convicted of sexual abuse.
In an interview with Billboard, Brandi claims that when they were dating, Robson never said anything to her about being sexually abused by Jackson.
“The only thing he said was how blessed he was to have Michael as a business partner and a friend,” she says. “I have to tell you something else: Wade gives this narrative that he and Michael were always together. They weren’t. We used to go to the ranch, Wade and I and his family. We would go a few times a month. My uncle was never there. He was always on the road working and travelling.”
In Neverland Firsthand, Brandi claims that Robson had affairs with multiple women towards the end of their relationship.
“Everything was fine until he became about 17, 18 years old, and I started to see his behaviour change. And that’s when he started to cheat.”
Brandi doesn’t get a mention in Leaving Neverland. She says that doesn’t surprise her, because what she claims about her relationship with Robson “completely discredits” what he’s saying.
“He’s saying that he was in a relationship with my uncle, that they were in love... He’s saying that my uncle kept him from women, which is not true.”
Robson’s lawyer, Vince William Finaldi, hasn’t commented specifically on what Brandi has said in Neverland Firsthand, but has made a statement: “Ms Jackson was not with Wade and Michael Jackson when the sexual abuse occurred, and as such, she has nothing relevant to say about the topic.”
So why does Brandi think allegations of sexual abuse have been made against Jackson ever since the early 1990s? She believes racism is behind it all.
“When you look at the entire situation, and you start to break it down, it’s because he was a strong, influential black man," she says.

That whole YT 'clip' was debunked and laughed at. Where is the proof they were together at the time? Where? There is NO proof. She was forced to speak by the Jackson claim or else she would be cut off from the estate money, just as Latoya was forced to retract her claim by Katherine and Tito, which she went on to make the same claim twice. Very casually, no fear. Brandi is lying to protect the money her uncle gets her. She is not credible. Even throwing in things like Wade cheated on her. Like, wtf has that got to do with anything? She is getting really desperate and has no credibility at all. She is proof of what the Jackson estate does to you.
"It’s because he was a strong, influential black man," she says. Oh this, now this, this is my favourite. :D :D What a convenient, immature, and completely baseless argument. But it seemed to work for OJ Simpson. Luckily it didn't work for Bill Cosby. The estate are truly desperate, it is pathetic. They know they've lost the battle and the war. And the brainwashed Jackson fanbots know it too, hence their increasingly irrational and desperate posts on this site when the facts consistently debunk their lies.
Brandi doesn't just believe that racism is behind all the allegations...that's only part of it.
In the 1990's, Michael Jackson continued to build on his already incredibly successful music career and business dealings in the music and film industry. He was a very smart business man and as his share, ownership and wealth increased, people in high places in the industry took advantage of this, paying people in the media and bogus abuse accusers to come forward claiming molestation. The media continues to brainwash the general public with lies after the latest BS Leaving Neverland film which is a completely false narrative, to try and destroy MJ's legacy. Powerful people in high places such as David Geffen (Geffen Records) Tommy Mottola (Sony music) Steven Spielberg, are the catalysts leading to the current situation in relation to Harvey Weinstein and Oprah. Wade Robson and James Safechuck (Leaving Neverland) have a reputation and background of lying, opportunism and extortion and have no credibility.
Geffen and the Hollywood ‘mafia’ tried to sink Michael Jackson’s career in the 1990s are still at it today. By doing this, they are hiding the real truth into Hollywood pedophilia rings and obstructing justice in real crimes against children.
Michael Jackson was proven innocent in a court of law and investigated by the FBI for over 10 years. If anyone disputes his innocence, they are ignorant and need to research the FACTS of the allegations and not just read mainstream and tabloid media.
Honey, he was never "proven innocent". Crawl back into your denial cave with all your other MJ fan friends.
Now the 'hollywood mafia' is to blame. That is beyond unhinged. Truly psych time needed. There are still some sane Jackson fans around, but this guy is so far brainwashed and so far gone, his mind jumped the shark long ago. They are unravelling as every single nitpicking thing they pounce on and think they have a winning argument is destroyed. I've read many say the fans will become increasingly unhinged, desperate and resort to conspiracy theories. I never really gave that much thought, until coming across this loon.
I'm totally fine thanks..... but you keep going mate
Correction - Not guilty. I'm yet to inhabit the denial cave, but you seem to know a lot about it
