The Michael Jackson estate, Optimum Productions, is suing HBO after the television network released a trailer for “Leaving Neverland,” claiming that HBO has breached a nondisparagement contract by producing a Jackson related documentary without consulting Optimum Productions, according to court documents obtained by the Hollywood Reporter. Additionally, the Jackson estate complained that the documentary falsely claims Michael Jackson was abusing children.
