According to a report from BET.com<\/a>, Michael Jackson\u2019s estate managed to nail an unlikely win against HBO, whose documentary, Leaving Neverland,<\/em> detailed the stories from two men who claim the legendary pop-star had sexually abused them as young boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson\u2019s estate filed a suit against the long-time running cable company, however, much to HBO\u2019s chagrin, the judge presiding over the case declined the network\u2019s request to dismiss the case. As it was previously reported, Jackson\u2019s extremely powerful and wealthy estate filed a suit against HBO after the release of Leaving Neverland<\/em> earlier in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving Neverland<\/em> documented the stories of Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who accused Jackson of abusing them as children. Jackson\u2019s estate accused the network of violating a non-disparagement agreement from a 1992 concert film during the singer\u2019s Dangerous tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reported first by Variety, a Federal Judge, George Wu<\/a>, was the one to implement the temporary ruling whereby HBO wouldn\u2019t be able to avoid the case. The judge will make the final ruling near the ending of this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
