THE mum of Michael Jackson accuser Wade Robson reportedly told friends that her son had always DENIED being sexually abused by the pop star. Joy Robson allegedly quizzed Wade, 36, about the allegations - but he insisted nothing had happened "time and again", it is claimed. He even repeated his denials when the King of Pop died in 2009, according to a family source who spoke to DailyMail.com - but Wade eventually changed his story in 2013. Aussie-born dancer Wade now features alongside fellow "victim" James Safechuck, 40, in a bombshell new documentary Leaving Neverland. The four-hour film - which accuses the star of sickening child sex abuse - aired to stunned audiences at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah last week. But Wade's allegations, which first emerged in 2013, were a "shock" to his family - who had always been led to believe Jackson was a positive role-model.

The “mind-boggling” dance move, first seen in the 1987 “Smooth Criminal” video, was a clever illusion invented by the pop star. Fans were amazed to see him repeat the feat live – and completely fooled. A team of three neurosurgeons wrote in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine: “Several MJ fans, including the authors, have tried to copy this move and failed, often injuring themselves in their endeavours.” A patent registered under Jackson’s name reveals how the trick was achieved. The pop legend designed a special shoe with a triangular slot in the heel which hooked onto a metallic peg that emerged from the stage floor at … [Read more...] about Scientists reveal ‘clever illusion’ of Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal tilt
