I mean, everything that's going on, I mean, it's unfortunate.
It's an unfortunate situation for everyone involved.
A long time.
I think in the Black or White video, no secret about that friendship.
They would show up on red carpets together.
Culkin has always maintained that relationship was very innocent.
So he came to Jackson's defence and... There it is.
That court did find Jackson innocent and he was exonerated of all charges.
Some new allegations have surfaced since then, most notably in Dan Reed's 2018 documentary Leaving Neverland.
And it focused on two boys, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, that, again, a similar age to some of the other boys we've been discussing who say they were 12 and 13 when they were abused and assaulted by Jackson as boys.
It's a really grueling documentary.
A lot of the details that emerge, even without some of the context of the allegation, are kind of stomach-churning in themselves.
Jackson had a bedroom with a hallway leading up to it that was covered with cameras.
It was booby-trapped with alarms so that an alarm would sound if anyone approaches.
So his bedroom was completely private and sealed off.
In Jackson's bedroom, there were suitcases of erotic material.
Forensic investigators subsequently found fingerprints of the boys on such materials.
The Robson and Safechuck case is actually yet to go to trial.
It's scheduled for later this year.
Then just this February, new allegations broke by four siblings, the Casio siblings.
