Media mogul Oprah Winfrey has received backlash after hosting a show called After Neverland which features Michael Jackson's alleged abuse victims.

The Q&A followed the preview screening of Leaving Neverland, a documentary by Dan Reed.

According to the New York Times, the two-part documentary profiles Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who say they were allegedly sexually abused by Michael Jackson when they were children.
