Spike Lee defends Michael biopic amid criticism for not including child sexual abuse allegations against Michael Jackson

Spike Lee has defended the Michael Jackson biopic

Spike Lee has defended Michael after the biopic was criticised for not including allegations of child sexual abuse against Michael Jackson.

The new movie has proved to be a huge hit at the box office despite being panned by critics for not featuring the accusations but the acclaimed filmmaker thinks such complaints are pointless as the movie ends with Jackson's Bad tour in 1988 - five years before allegations were first made against the late King of Pop.
