Macaulay Culkin denies being harassed by Michael Jackson

Actor Macaulay Culkin insists Michael Jackson never abused him and he didn’t see him ever do anything like that.

 

“I’m going to start with this sentence — it’s not really just a line, it’s a fact: He never did anything to me. I’ve never seen him do anything like that,” Macaulay Culkin responded to Michael Jackson’s allegations of child abuse.

Macaulay Culkin was very close to Michael Jackson as a child.

The “Home Alone” actor explained: “Especially at this time, I have no reason to keep everything. He passed away. If there are any secrets, this is a good time to tell them. And if I have something to reveal, I’m willing to tell. But no, I’ve never seen anything, he’s never done things (as rumored).”

Macaulay Culkin has been with the king of pop since he was 10 years old and Michael is 32 years old. Although they are more than 20 years apart, they are very close friends. Macaulay starred in Michael’s music video and often went to the Neverland estate to play, even sleeping at the singer’s house.

In 2019, the documentary Leaving Neverland aired, shocking with the revelation of former dancer Wade Robson – who claimed that Jackson sexually abused him many times as a child. Wade also said he has been marginalized since Jackson met Home Alone Macaulay Culkin.

Referring to the film, Macaulay said: “I’m going to tell a good story about Michael Jackson even though it’s not really related to him: I accidentally met actor James Franco on a flight. I nodded to him and we asked each other. That was right after the movie Leaving Neverland had just aired.

 

He asked: ‘Oh, that documentary… What do you think?’. I looked at him and said, ‘Do you want to talk about a friend who has died?’ And he shyly said, ‘No, I never wanted to do that’. Then I said: ‘Great, it’s nice to meet you.’”

This is the first time Macaulay Culkin has made an official statement about the Michael Jackson pedophilia rumor after a year of the documentary airing. In the past, Macaulay has repeatedly affirmed his pure friendship with the king of pop. “He was my best friend at that time.

Michael liked my youthfulness. He loved being a kid with me again. I’ve never considered it weird and never felt uncomfortable,” the actor shared.
