Jackie Dunham, CTVNews.ca StaffOne of the most memorable ‘Simpsons’ episodes featuring a character voiced by Michael Jackson has been pulled from circulation following the release of a new documentary about the late pop star.
Although Jackson wasn’t credited for his role in the episode for contractual reasons, one of the show’s writers and executive producers Matt Groening confirmed it was the star’s voice behind the character years later. Brooks said he and the others felt it was “clearly the only choice to make” in light of the explosive allegations against the late superstar. In the documentary, two men claim Jackson sexually abused them as children.
Brooks, on the other hand, said he found the allegations made in the documentary heartbreaking and convincing.
