But when it comes to the allegations and the dark stuff, all of a sudden it's a black problem.
And why aren't you coming out and decrying him?
I think there's a really important kind of timing issue at the heart of it.
Michael, the biopic was supposed to come out earlier, and that has been delayed for multiple reasons.
And I think the gap in time from 2019 and those allegations to now has been really useful for the Michael Jackson estate.
And in that intervening period, they've made a lot of money out of...
multiple musicals, merchandise sales, like they've built up this kind of war chest.
And then Michael is the kind of crown jewel in that kind of new cultural awakening around Michael Jackson.
So there's been this period of time where the allegations have been made.
And now what you start to see in a really interesting way is like people kind of saying, well, I'm skeptical about some of the allegations.
I'm skeptical about some of the accusations and introducing the element of doubt.
Antoine Farquhar, the director, has said that in a recent interview with The New Yorker.
And he's done that on the campaign trail.
He's not come out and said, I don't believe in any allegations, but he has said that people want to make money out of Michael Jackson.
People do some nasty things in order to make money.
Yeah, not saying that directly, but kind of alluding to that and pushing people in that direction, which I think is interesting.
And I think that gap is enough for people to say,
all right, well, there's a benefit of the doubt here.
It's Michael Jackson.
This is one of the biggest films of the year.
