There is still a divide between those that believe Wade Robson and James Safechuck, the men at the center of HBO’s harrowing Leaving Neverland documentary. In the two-part series, the men spoke about their relationships with Michael Jackson when they were children, describing in jaw-dropping detail how they allegedly endured sexual abuse by the King of Pop. Members of Jackson’s family have come forward to deny the claims, and adding her name to the list is Brandi Jackson, daughter to Jackson’s brother, Jackie.

According to Brandi, she and Robson were once in a romantic relationship and in a recent interview with The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Brandi publicly spoke out against Robson and defended her uncle who she stated was no a pedophile. “When I was watching [Leaving Neverland], I was completely sickened by it, to be honest with you. The things that he was saying were so over the top and so ridiculous,” she said. “[Wade] was not describing my uncle. He was describing a totally different person, but not my uncle. And that’s why this is a narrative that has changed…over the last 15 years. Everything that he’s ever said about my uncle is the complete opposite of who he was painting in this documentary.”

Robson testified on behalf of Jackson twice in the past, both in 1993 and 2005, saying under oath that the music icon never sexually abused him. The famed choreographer made reference to those incidences in Leaving Neverland, saying that he felt the need to lie on the stand because he was afraid that both he and Jackson would go to jail, a suggestion Jackson allegedly told him during the years that he was being molested.
