[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]Michael Jackson may no longer be with us, but his alleged actions are about to be put on trial!
Two men who accused the pop star of molesting them when they were younger are finally going to get their chance in court — after years of trying! On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the California Court of Appeal issued a tentative ruling allowing Wade Robson and James Safechuck‘s cases to move forward to a trial, per the Los Angeles Times. The filing suggests their cases will be combined into one. While this is a tentative ruling, TMZ noted that most of the time, these decisions become final.
If you haven’t been following this scandal, both men alleged that they were molested by MJ after the pop star befriended them when they were children and groomed and sexually abused them for several years. Per the LA Times, Wade claims members of MJ’s staff assisted him in the abuse and helped him cover it up. Their stories were documented in the harrowing docuseries Leaving Neverland.

Interestingly, in 2005, the Jackson 5 alum was on trial against another boy who claimed he sexually abused him and Wade took the stand. During his testimony, though, Wade claimed he slept in MJ’s bed but that nothing happened. Years later in 2013, he filed a lawsuit against MJJ Productions, Inc., revealing he had falsely testified in the case due to “complete manipulation and brainwashing.” Wade now claims Michael befriended him when he came to the US from Australia as a little boy. He was allegedly molested at the Neverland Ranch from 7 to 14 years old.
And this is what brings us to today’s case. Robson is notably not suing the singer, who died in 2009.
Dr. Dre is looking back at his career.
Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Syd Barrett was the guiding light of the original Pink Floyd — the band’s singer, primary songwriter and guitarist from their first day until their psychedelia-defining 1967 debut album, “Piper at the Gates of Dawn.” His sparkling, childlike melodies and lyrics have cast a huge influence over rock and pop music ever since — David Bowie cited him as a pivotal influence, and it shows — and entire genres of music, particularly the neo-psychedelic waves of the early ‘80s in the U.S. and U.K., bear his fingerprints. Yet he was also one of rock’s first “acid casualties” — people who took too many drugs, or at least the wrong ones, and were never the same afterward. His bandmates and friends say one day, he was just gone: The distinctive sparkle in his eye and spring in his step had disappeared. He became uncommunicative and withdrawn; he’d go onstage and just stand there, strumming one chord or doing nothing while the other bandmembers would struggle to hold things together. He’d bring the band a song and continually change it as they tried to follow him — this remarkable documentary takes its title from one such song, so titled because they could never get it if he kept changing it.
Michael Nordine author There’s no shortage of great movies about baseball, but there is a severe lack of films about the Negro leagues. The fifth inning of Ken Burns’ expansive “Baseball” covers them with admirable reverence, but feature-length projects — whether narrative or documentary — are vanishingly rare. “The League” is therefore something close to required viewing for devotees of our national pastime just by virtue of its existence, so it comes as a relief that Sam Pollard’s documentary (exec produced by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson) is also quite good on the merits. Given his résumé, that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Pollard’s prior work as director includes “MLK/FBI” and “Citizen Ashe,” and he’s also edited several Spike Lee joints; in addition to a Peabody Award and career achievement prize from the International Documentary Association, he shared an Oscar nomination with Lee for 1997’s “4 Little Girls” about the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing.

The women, who have been identified as “Jane Doe,” sued Allen separately. Their allegations were unrelated to one another. In the first lawsuit against Allen, filed this past May, the multiplatinum singer was accused of raping his former day-to-day manager, who alleged she endured continuous assault and abuse over the course of 18 months while she was working on the musician’s team.
