The last time Macaulay Culkin saw Michael Jackson was during a short recess at Jackson’s 2005 trial, in which he was accused of intoxicating and molesting a 13-year-old boy with cancer.
Culkin was there to testify for Jackson, who he ran into in the bathroom.
“We better not talk. I don’t want to influence your testimony,” Jackson said.
They laughed a little and hugged.
The trailer of 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland feature allegations of abuse by Michael Jackson. Post continues below video.
Culkin is regularly asked if Jackson abused him, and in a February 2020 interview with Esquire he has once again denied it ever happening.
“Look, I’m gonna begin with the line – it’s not a line, it’s the truth: He never did anything to me. I never saw him do anything. And especially at this flash point in time, I’d have no reason to hold anything back. The guy has passed on.
If anything – I’m not gonna say it would be stylish or anything like that, but right now is a good time to speak up. And if I had something to speak up about, I would totally do it. But no, I never saw anything; he never did anything.”

Good grief how many times does Macaulay have to tell the world the same thing??!
To be fair, what else has he got that people want to hear? What it was like filming Home Alone 1 and 2 (again)?
The highest profile of the kid who hung around MJ said he wasn't molested by MJ. I'm inclined to believe that. Much like I'm inclined to believe all the other, non famous kids MJ invited to his house who said he did molest them.
The better question is why people keep asking. What else is he supposed to say?
