Dit artikel van Vanity Fair geeft een introductie van de journaliste die in de jaren '90 Robson's vader sprak, die achterbleef in Australie met Robson's broer, en zwaar depressief was dat hij zijn halve gezin verloren had aan een superster. Los van seksueel misbruik heeft Jackson dus hele gezinnen uit elkaar gerukt. 
Vervolgens geeft dit artikel 10 feiten die bewezen zijn, dus feiten die niet discutabel zijn door interpretatie of zo:
Citaat:
1. There is no dispute that, at age 34, Michael Jackson slept more than 30 nights in a row in the same bed with 13-year-old Jordie Chandler at the boy’s house with Chandler’s mother present. He also slept in the same bed with Jordie Chandler at Chandler’s father’s house. The parents were divorced.
2. So far, five boys Michael Jackson shared beds with have accused him of abuse: Jordie Chandler, Jason Francia, Gavin Arvizo, Wade Robson, and Jimmy Safechuck. Jackson had the same nickname for Chandler and Arvizo: “Rubba.” He called Robson “Little One” and Safechuck “Applehead.”
3. Jackson paid $25 million to settle the Chandlers’ lawsuit, with $18 million going to Jordie, $2.5 million to each of the parents, and the rest to lawyers. Jackson said he paid that sum to avoid something “long and drawn out.” Francia also received $2.4 million from Jackson.
4. Michael Jackson suffered from the skin discoloration disease vitiligo. Jordie Chandler drew a picture of the markings on the underside of Jackson’s penis. His drawings were sealed in an envelope. A few months later, investigators photographed Jackson’s genitalia. The photographs matched Chandler’s drawings.
5. The hallway leading to Jackson’s bedroom was a serious security zone covered by video and wired for sound so that the steps of anyone approaching would make ding-dong sounds.
6. Jackson had an extensive collection of adult erotic material he kept in a suitcase next to his bed, including S&M bondage photos and a study of naked boys. Forensic experts with experience in the Secret Service found the fingerprints of boys alongside Jackson’s on the same pages. Jackson also had bondage sculptures of women with ball gags in their mouths on his desk, in full view of the boys who slept there.
7. According to the Neverland staff interviewed by the Santa Barbara authorities, no one ever saw or knew of a woman spending the night with Michael Jackson, including his two spouses, Debbie Rowe or Lisa Marie Presley. Rowe, the mother of two of Jackson’s children, made it clear to the Santa Barbara authorities that she never had sex with Jackson.
8. The parents of boys Jackson shared beds with were courted assiduously and given myriad expensive gifts. Wade Robson’s mother testified in the 2005 trial that she funneled wages through Jackson’s company and was given a permanent resident visa. Jimmy Safechuck’s parents got a house. Jordie Chandler’s mother got a diamond bracelet.
9. Two of the fathers of those who have accused Jackson, Jordie Chandler and Wade Robson, committed suicide. Both were estranged from their sons at the time.
10. In a 2002 documentary, Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson told Martin Bashir there was nothing wrong with sharing his bed with boys.

Jackson's vroegere vriend Rabbi Shmuley Botaech, iemand die hem dus persoonlijk goed kende, denkt niet dat Robson en Safechuck liegen, en denkt dat er een "reassesment" moet komen van Jackson's legacy en leven:
Citaat:
Discussing Leaving Neverland, Boteach said that the allegations made by Wade Robson and James Safechuck were “devastating, painful, and ‘traumatizing.”
“I don’t believe these men are lying, and I don’t believe that the shame and guilt being experienced by their parents in general, maybe their mothers, in particular, is feigned,” he said.
“There will have to now be a fundamental reassessment of the legacy of Michael Jackson, in light of this documentary."

In een ander artikel van de Vanity Fair praten enkele mensen die hem goed kenden ook over de aantijgingen en wat ze over de jaren gezien (en voor zichzelf goedgepraat) hebben. Hieronder zijn mensen die in 2005 als "minder betrouwbaar" werden gezien in de rechtszaak omdat ze geld aangenomen hadden van de media of Jackson hadden aangeklaagd voor geld, maar ook anderen die niet meteen een motief lijken te hebben:
Citaat:
Jackson’s former business adviser Myung-Ho Lee: Speaking to Orth for her 2004 Vanity Fair feature, Lee said that, during his travels around the globe with Jackson, “He had a number of guests in his suite for the night—they were always boys in the 10- to 13-year-old range.” Lee added, “I’ve never seen him share a suite with an older teen boy, a girl, or an older female. I thought it very strange.”
Citaat:
Eddie Reynoza, a featured dancer in the “Thriller” music video who was once close friends with Jackson: “He’s had little boys around for nine years straight, 24 hours around the clock,” Reynoza told Orth in her 1994 feature “Nightmare in Neverland.” “People in show business couldn’t understand how long it took to get the talk going. The public is 100 years behind on [the allegations].” Reynoza added that others in Jackson’s inner circle “looked the other way. They were afraid of being fired.”
