Oprah Winfrey will host a special show with Michael Jackson’s accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck. It will air straight after the Michael Jackson documentary that reportedly left critics feeling “sick to their stomachs”.
Leaving Neverland features the testimonies of Robson and Safechuck, who both allege Michael Jackson sexually assaulted them as children at his Neverland Ranch property.

Oprah interviews both men, along with the documentary’s director Dan Reed, in Oprah Winfrey Presents: After Neverland. They will appear “before an audience of survivors of sexual abuse and others whose lives have been impacted by it,” according to HBO and Winfrey’s OWN network.
In the trailer below, she makes an emotional introduction about the prevalence of childhood sexual abuse in society. Oprah is a sexual assault survivor – she revealed she was raped at the age of nine.
The veteran TV host opens up about her own experiences, as she stresses the importance of giving survivors a platform to speak out.
“Here’s the reason why I’m here. Twenty five years of The Oprah Winfrey Show I taped 217 episodes about sexual abuse,” she says.
