As well as Diana Ross, a close friend of the legendary singer, Corey Feldman, also expressed his opinion on the situation caused by this film. He also wrote on Twitter:
“Never once swore in my presence, never touched me inappropriately, and never suggested that we should be lovers in any way!”
Feldman later said in one of his statements:
“If God forbid these things were true, then there is a completely different Michael that I knew. I guess anything in the world of pedophilia is possible. All I can say is my heart goes out to both of them – and if by any reason the things are proven true, I would be in full support of them. ”

“Since #MeToo purported victims have been given extraordinarily credibility. That’s a good thing. Still, when the allegations are made by those-like accusers of #MichaelJackson-who have strongly testified opposite is true-& who have a strong profit motive to lie-disbelief can’t be suspended.”

“I’m upset about the way he’s treated in the media. I think they’re really trying to curse his name, and I really think that’s unfair to the way he contributed to American culture since the day he was born. I think he deserves much more than that. This is someone’s life, and I do not think he should be reduced to a joke. He’s far more than that. ”

“This guy … he is not part of his world, this is my opinion.I never believed that sex was part of Michael’s world. For him, hurting a child … he would rather hurt an adult if he was going to hurt someone, he would never hurt a child. ”
