Michael Jackson estate slams Leaving Neverland's Emmy win as a "complete farce"
-
Dan Reed's four-hour HBO film won an Emmy Saturday night for best documentary or nonfiction special. In response, the Jackson estate said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: "For a film that is a complete fiction to be honored in a nonfiction Emmy category is a complete farce. Not one shred of proof supports this completely one-sided, so-called documentary which was made in secrecy and for which not one person outside of the two subjects and their families were interviewed."
