Jackson's estate is accusing HBO of violating a non-disparagement clause with its upcoming documentary into the late pop star's alleged sexual abuse. The lawsuit states that when HBO agreed in 1992 to run Michael Jackson in Concert in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour, it signed a contract that included a non-disparagement agreement. The lawsuit argues that Leaving Neverland is based on false accusations, and that Jackson’s accusers have a financial motive to lie.
