In the months following the explosive Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Neverland, it seems everyone in Hollywood has weighed in on the molestation allegations brought forward by Wade Robson and James Safechuck against Jackson.
It's no secret Jackson was abused and overworked from a very young age by his father, Joe Jackson.
As a young child star, Macaulay felt he could relate to Jackson.
He explained that Jackson reached out to him because he was quickly rising to fame as a child star.
"He was [expletive] awesome. He was funny, he was sweet — people didn't know how funny he was."
Now, Kieran Culkin has decided to speak out about the allegations, saying he believes there are two sides to every story.
“To me, it seems like there’s two sides to this thing," he continued.
"'I have slept in a bed with many children. It's very charming, it's very sweet, it's what the whole world should do," Michael said.
It's evident both men suffered a host of mental health issues, and say it took them years of therapy to come to terms with their alleged abuse.
One of these friends was Aaron Carter, who addressed Wade Robson directly in a TMZ interview.
Aaron said he's "lucky I have something to lose now, because I would have punched you in your face."
"You can say 'molested', but those children, as you heard say, they were thrilled to be there," she said.
"A magnificent incredible force to me and to many others."
"When you see it you will know instantly that their stories are true."
