Statue of Michael Jackson has been removed from Britain's National Football Museum following fresh allegations of sexual abuse

A statue of Michael Jackson has been removed from Britain's National Football Museum in the wake of fresh allegations of sexual abuse that continue to surround the pop superstar's legacy.  


Wade Robson and James Safechuck accused Jackson of sexually abusing them over a period of several years when they were children in a four-hour documentary "Leaving Neverland," the first part of which aired in the UK on Wednesday.
Jackson's family has pushed back against the film, calling it a "public lynching." The musician's estate is suing HBO, which co-produced the documentary. HBO shares its parent company, WarnerMedia, with CNN.

The soccer museum in Manchester, England, has displayed the statue since 2014 but removed it from display this week. The plaster and resin artwork was initially unveiled in 2011 at Fulham's Craven Cottage stadium by the club's then-owner Mohamed Al Fayed, who was friends with the singer.
Jackson visited the west London ground as a guest of Al Fayed in 1999, watching Fulham play a second-tier match against Wigan Athletic.

A spokeswoman for the museum said: "The National Football Museum has made a number of changes to its exhibitions and the objects on display over the last few months. "As part of our ongoing plans to better represent the stories we want to tell, we have made a decision to remove the Michael Jackson statue from display."
Although the museum did not explicitly connect the statue's removal to allegations against the singer, the fallout from "Leaving Neverland" has led to some fans boycotting the singer and has prompted radio stations in Canada and New Zealand to stop playing his music.

EXCLUSIVE: Janet Jackson Honors His Older Brother, Michael Jackson by Recreating ‘Remember The Time’

Janet Jackson honored her brother
Michael Jackson on his 60th birthday (Aug. 29) by recreating his star-studded music video for his hit song “Remember the Time” (released in 1992).

The 52-year-old pop icon teamed with Instagram comedians Kwaylon Rogers and King Bach to recreate “Remember the Time” to honor her older brother. Michael died of a drug overdose at age 50 in his Holmby Hills, CA mansion on June 25, 2009.
In the original music video, directed by John Singleton in 1992, Michael plays a talented palace performer who risks losing his head if he doesn’t entertain the easily bored queen (played by supermodel Iman ).

When the queen takes a sudden romantic interest in the charming Michael, her furious husband (played by Eddie Murphy ) orders his head chopped off.

But Michael gives Magic Johnson and his goons the slip, while setting the stage for one of the greatest dance sequences in music video history. The original music video was inspired by Eddie Murphy’s 1988 comedy film Coming to America.

Checkout the look of Michael Jackson in Bobrisky face

Well, there’s some sort of similarity between himself and the late legend – the transformation of their skin colour.

Bobrisky, in new photos, looks subtly like late humanitarian and legend, Michael Jackson, who died exactly 8 years ago.

The transvestite who says his fans should pray for him as he’s all set to go on surgery to increase the size of his buttocks, calls himself “queen” ashe shares new photos of himself.

Striking feminine poses in his feminine clothes and hair, the effeminate looks a bit like wacko jacko with his jaw frame and smile. Or don’t you think so too?
