New footage has emerged of Michael Jackson making inappropriate comments about a female fan’s body.
Filmed for a potential reality TV show that was eventually scrapped after his home and private amusement park, Neverland, was raided in 2003, the material includes the late singer talking about a fan’s breasts.
In the never-before-seen clips, Michael is seen chatting with friends in the back of a limo in his hometown of Gary, Indiana, laughing about a fan outside’s “t*tties”.
The video was shot by the king of pop’s friend and producer, Marc Schaffel, who filmed a lot of Jackson’s daily life from 2000 to 2003.
Schaffel told TMZ that he is pitching the footage to streaming services in the hopes of making a positive three-part docuseries.
Reportedly, he wants each episode to be two hours long and focus on a “distinct chapter” in Michael’s life.
He also wants to show the good side of Michael in the wake of fresh allegations about child abuse.
This news comes as a biopic about the star’s life was released today.
The new movie, Michael, culminates as Jackson releases Thriller at the peak of his solo success, but has been overshadowed by serious allegations of abuse and a growing number of lawsuits.
Last year, it was revealed that at least a third of the film was forced to be cut as it depicted false allegations of sexual abuse levelled by the family of Jordy Chandler in 1993.
Also, the Cascio family has renewed allegations of predatory paedophilic abuse by the singer, who say he sexually abused four of their five children.
After watching the 2019 documentary, Leaving Neverland, which addressed Jackson’s alleged abuse, the Cascio children realised they had each allegedly been subjected to the same abuse, including rapes by the singer.
New photographs of the late singer with the Cascio siblings then emerged; the family has now filed a complaint against Jackson's estate and all the adults working for him, whom they said enabled him to carry out this alleged abuse.
Reportedly, millions were spent on reshoots, and a large portion of the film was completely rewritten.
All scenes filmed at Jackson's California home, Neverland, were also cut, meaning the release was pushed back a year.
