Spike Lee is defending Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson biopic after some criticized the film for excluding the music icon’s child sexual abuse allegations.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker recently sat down with CNN, where he shared how much he “loved” Michael, noting that he saw the pic “twice.” During the interview, he also pointed out that allegations wouldn’t “work in the timeline of the film,” because the biopic covers the first half of Jackson’s life, with the movie concluding in 1988, and the pop legend didn’t face his first accusation until 1993.
