Wade Robson is a renowned Australian choreographer who is currently in the news for his claims against pop singer Michael Jackson. He claimed that he was allegedly sexually assaulted by the pop singer at the age of seven.
According to his claims, Jackson molested him at the age of 7 at the Neverland Ranch. In the following years, the assault continued until he turned 14. He added that after hitting puberty, the incident automatically stopped.
Who is Wade Robson?
Wade Jeremy William Robson was born on September 17, 1982 and hails from Australia. Since the age of five, he is performing as a dancer and has directed music videos and world tours for pop acts like NSYNC and Britney Spears.
He won multiple competitions, which caught Michael Jackson’s attention.
Wade Robson’s Career In Early Days
At the age of nine, he moved to the US with his mother and sister. Robson was assisted by Michael Jackson with the movie, who recruited Robson to appear in the music videos “Black or White,” “Jam,” and “Heal the World.”
He used to do 14 shows a week when he was young, and at the age of 11, he had his agent.
He used to conduct dance classes in Hollywood and received his first choreography job for the R&B group Immature at 14. The job led to more opportunities to work with others, including Britney Spears.
Clients were occasionally hesitant to take guidance from Robson, a self-described “skinny little white kid.” When Britney Spears first approached Robson about choreographing her tour, she was shocked and said, “He’s a friggin’ baby!” She had anticipated him to be in his 30s or 40s.
The Rise And Fall Of Wade Robson’s Career
However, since then, his career had no turning back. He now holds more than two decades of experience in the stage business, movies, and TV.
He has previously designed, directed, and choreographed legendary international tours, music videos, commercials, and television appearances.
Rabson has collaborated with notable musicians, bands, rappers, and dancers such as Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Pink, Mya, Usher, Aerosmith, NSync, Demi Lovato, One Direction, The San Francisco Ballet, MTV, and David Guetta.
He has also appeared in reality shows such as So You Think You Can Dance, TV shows such as Dancing With the Stars, and entertainment organisations such as Cirque Du Soleil.
Wade Robson is a two-time Emmy Award winner.
However, after discovering he had been assaulted as a child by the King of Pop, he turned away from dance and choreography for years and took some time off to rehabilitate.
Wade Robson Opens Up About Childhood Assault
He first encountered Jackson in 1987 after winning a dance competition in Australia when he was 5 years old.
When Robson and his family visited the United States two years later to perform with Johnny Young’s Talent School in Disneyland, California. Jackson offered them to stay at his house, Neverland Ranch.
His meeting at the Neverland Ranch became a dark chapter in his life. Robson claimed that he was abused for the first time at the age of seven, and it continued until he turned 14.
The Molestation Case Against Michael Jackson
After his migration to the US, he also belonged to the same social group as MJ. The late pop artist befriended him before abusing him.
What’s more, when Jackson was on trial for assaulting another youngster in 2005, Robson was called to testify that he slept on Jackson’s bed.
He had, however, stated that it was an innocent scenario. Wade Robson, following Jackson’s death, launched a lawsuit against his firm in 2013, alleging Jackson abused him. In addition, he stated that his prior false testimony was the result of “complete manipulation and brainwashing.”
The California Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal for the first time in 2017. Later that year, it was reversed, only to be reinstated in 2021. However, the court recently changed its decision based on the investigation.
