Leaving Neverland's primary claim is that MJ broke up with the two boys when they hit puberty, because he was a serial pedophile. It has been discovered that one of James Safechuck's abuse claims occurred in a place that did not exist at the time of the alleged abuse. Dan Reed has admitted that James Safechuck's date in his sworn statements and the film about when the abuse ended is wrong. This makes one of Leaving Neverland's biggest claims, that the abuse ended when he "traded in" Safechuck for Brett Barnes impossible.
This change to the narrative means that the abuse did NOT stop when James was 12/13, but instead, he must now maintain that he was abused until he was 16/17 nearing adulthood.
Oprah Winfrey has deleted all videos on her Instagram, Twitter, and Youtube accounts related to the film and its accusers for undisclosed reasons. Many people on social media are expressing criticism about how such a large aspect of the story was changed, and not fact checked by Dan Reed.
