Jermaine Jackson breaks down denying brother Michael was a predatory paedophile

Jermaine Jackson broke down in tears as he tried to defend his brother Michael after a documentary slurred the King of Pop.

The singer has said the star of a new documentary about sexual abuse claims against Michael "tried to sue the family for billions after changing his story."

Wade Robson, who is involved in the controversial documentary Leaving Neverland, has said he was sexually abused by Michael Jackson alongside another victim, who has said the star staged a mock wedding at his ranch.

However, Michael's brother Jermaine has called Wade's testimony into question, saying while he denied any sexual abuse under oath at Michael's trial, he also tried to sue the family for £1.5billion after Michael's death.

Jermaine told Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan that Wade denied being sexually abused in Michael's trial in 2005, categorically stating this under oath and also to his own mother.

But the singer has claimed since then, Wade's mother Joy contacted his ghost writer to try and "cement Michael's innocence," after which Wade "changed his story."

He said: "What people don’t know is Wade changed his story, that he maintained before and after Michael’s death.

"He tried to go out and shoot a book deal, no publisher would touch him, he even sued the estate for £1.5billion, it was tossed out of court.

"He wanted to go out for the head choroegraphy part for Cirque du Soleil, so what was left for him was to do a documentary.

"So he got in front of a camera with a bunch of people and spewed all this nonsense."

The emotional singer also begged for people to "leave us alone" as he tried desperately to hold it together, continuing to profess Michael's innocence.

Jermaine said: "I’m 1000 per cent sure because Michael was tried by a jury and he was acquitted on all this because there was real evidence, there was nothing there.
