Spike Lee Defends ‘Michael’ From Critics Who Think Child Sexual Abuse Allegation Should Have Been Included: ‘Doesn’t Work in the Timeline of the Film’

Spike Lee defended Lionsgate's Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" from critics who think the pop legend's child sexual abuse allegation should've been included in the film. He stated that since the movie ends in '88, before the first accusation hit in '93, it was not relevant to the film.
