The documentary details the stories of two men who had known Jackson as children, Wade Robson and James Safechuck. During the 2005 trail, they said that the singer had never abused them under oath but have both changed their stories since Jackson's death.

Now, days before the two-part documentary is set to air, Jackson's family have responded in an interview with CBS This Morning.

The clips were posted to Twitter by the news channel and provoked a strong response in the family's favor:

Not everyone, however, agreed with their decision to defend their late family member:
