Michael Jackson's niece Brandi Jackson has slammed her ex-boyfriend Wade Robson for the sexual abuse accusations he made about her uncle in the explosive documentary Leaving Neverland.

Speaking to Australia's Kyle and Jackie O radio show, Brandi, who says she dated Wade throughout her teenage years, claimed her ex-boyfriend was simply looking for a big pay check.
"When I was watching [Leaving Neverland], I was completely sickened by it, to be honest with you. The things that he was saying were so over the top and so ridiculous," she said.
"[Wade] was not describing my uncle. He was describing a totally different person, but not my uncle.
"And that's why this is a narrative that has changed... over the last 15 years. Everything that he's ever said about my uncle is the complete opposite of who he was painting in this documentary."
Earlier this year, Brandi, 37, tweeted that she and Wade had dated for over seven years, but that including that detail in the documentary would "ruin his timeline".
"With Wade saying that he was afraid [he and Michael] would go to jail [if he revealed the abuse], Wade was a grown man when he testified the second time," she told Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O.
"If someone had been... abusing you when you were 14 years old, and you had a chance to go on the stand and put that man away for the rest of his life so that he couldn't hurt anyone else, you'd do it.
"You would. I can understand when he was a child if he was too afraid to do such a thing - that makes sense. But as a grown man, it doesn't."
In Leaving Neverland, Wade alleges Michael molested him from the age of seven until he was a teenager. Previously, he testified that nothing inappropriate had ever taken place with the King Of Pop, but has since revealed he was threatened by the singer to stay quiet.
