If HBO truly wanted to avoid a judgment, it should have thought about that before it aided and abetted a one-sided documentary without any journalistic integrity and in which the subjects have a huge motivation to lie \u2013 namely the millions of dollars for which they are suing the Estate. Our client will never stop until justice is served.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>This bogus appeal is nothing more than HBO\u2019s latest desperate attempt to cover up the truth about its shoddy journalism<\/p><cite>Bryan Freedman<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Having fist premiered at the Sundance Film Festival under threats and police protection, and then debuting on HBO to big viewership on March 3, the Dan Reed-directed<em>&nbsp;Leaving Neverland<\/em>&nbsp;spotlighted specific claims by Wade Robson and James Safechuck that they were sexually abused by Jackson back when they were children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHBO\u2019s frivolous appeal to stall the court\u2019s Order to arbitrate this dispute is yet another attempt to avoid the inevitable,\u201d fellow Jackson estate lawyer Howard Weitzman said Monday. \u201cSoon there will be a hearing, as the Court ordered, and damages will be awarded for HBO\u2019s intentional and unlawful conduct,\u201d the Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump &amp; Aldisert partner added with a verbal grenade. \u201cThe real questions are what is HBO afraid of and how much will they end up paying the Estate of Michael Jackson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Called out as another set of smears upon the deceased pop star, the estate\u2019s attorneys hoped to bludgeon the film, the filmmaker and the outlet by dredging up a portion of a 1992 deal between Jackson and HBO over a concert special as proof of the legal miscarriage by the premium cabler. That citation of the almost three-decade old agreement didn\u2019t get much movement for the estate, and the case moved out of L.A. Superior Court to federal court in early March for jurisdictional reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2019\/08\/michael-jackson-finding-neverland-lawsuit-dismissal-hbo-sex-abuse-documentary-emmys-1202670029\/\">August 15 move<\/a>&nbsp;to dismiss from HBO\u2019s legal team came following a ruling in late May by U.S. District Court judge Wu to stop the Jackson estate\u2019s desire to have the matter shut away behind closed doors and be decided by the American Arbitration Association. The estate also lost out in its aim to have the lawsuit sent back to state court. Last month, the often-unpredictable Wu went the other way and bundled together a series of rulings to put the matter in open arbitration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From that point on, the HBO appeal was basically a done deal waiting to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/warnermedia\/\">WarnerMedia<\/a>&nbsp;gets ready to put its HBO Max streaming service on the launch pad next year and some ornery shareholders kick up dust about AT&amp;T\u2019s purchase of DirecTV and a few other corporate decisions, the Jackson estate is now out for legal blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a cover-up,\u201d asserts estate co-executor John Branca of the appeal move by HBO. \u201cIf HBO truly believed that their desperate attempt to grab ratings was true, accurate, and fair, they would not be so strenuously avoiding a public reckoning of this junk programming which has become known as the Lies of<em>&nbsp;Leaving Neverland<\/em>,\u201d he kitchen sinks and then some. \u201cThe agenda is set at the top. Stockholders are questioning HBO\u2019s leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before his death from a prescription drug overdose in 2009, Jackson settled a previous child abuse claim in 1993 and was acquitted of other such charges in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A HBO spokesperson said today of their appeal: \u201cWe don\u2019t have anything to add beyond what was previously stated in our papers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dance-off over&nbsp;Leaving Neverland&nbsp;is far far from over.
