The biggest childrenās museum in the world has pulled 3 Michael Jackson items from display following new child sex abuse allegations against the late pop icon.
The Childrenās Museum of Indianapolis, as well as many other organisations, is reevaluating its relationship with the deceased popstar after the airing of a new HBO documentary that features the accounts of two men who allege Jackson groomed and molested them at his Neverland Ranch while they were young.
The museum is a non-for-profit and is centred on āfamily learning experiencesā. It said that it was āvery sensitiveā to audiences and this is what prompted the removal of Jacksonās iconic white glove and fedora from the childrenās exhibit.
The museum said that it would ācarefully consider the situation more fullyā.
The two-part documentary follows the story of two men who say they were befriended and then sexually abused by Michael Jackson in the early 1990ās. It has been met with a mix of shock and disbelief around the world, with many quick to condemn the piece as tarnishing the legacy of a dead man.
Jacksonās family has called the recent coverage a āpublic lynchingā.
Famous fashion brand Louis Vuitton has also removed its Jackson inspired items from its storefronts.
