In a "CBS Mornings" interview, Wade Robson got candid about the alleged abuse he suffered at the hands of pop star Michael Jackson. Growing up, Robson was a huge fan of the "Thriller" singer, so when he was five, the Australian native entered a dance competition where the winner got the opportunity to meet Jackson. He won, and a delighted Robson got the chance to meet the pop icon and even join him on stage to dance.
Two years later, Robson met Jackson again, but the choreographer claimed that things instantly changed between them. "He's telling me that we were brought together by God [...] that we were meant to be together [...] that he wanted to be my friend. [...] He thought I was amazing, he thought I was so talented, he thought I was so sweet, and he wanted to spend all of his time with me," Robson recalled. After that second meet-up, Robson claimed that Jackson would frequently fly him out so they could hang out.
Robson's parents even left him alone with Jackson, at his Neverland ranch, for an entire week because the pop icon didn't want to be apart from him, and that's when the sexual abuse supposedly began. In the shocking documentary "Leaving Neverland," Robson admitted, "The abuse didn't feel strange because it was being done by this man that was like a god to me. So much of it was validation for me," (via The Guardian).
