In the wake of HBO’s Leaving Neverland documentary, the creators behind The Simpsons have reportedly decided to pull a 1991 episode featuring Michael Jackson.
TMZ reports executive producer James L. Brooks says he made the decision after watching the two-part series about Jackson’s alleged molestation of choreographer Wade Robson and James Safechuck.
The episode in question, titled “Stark Raving Dad,” features the King Of Pop voicing the character Leon Kompowsky.
Creator Matt Groening and producer Al Jean agreed with Brooks.
“There are a lot of great memories we have wrapped up in that one,” Brooks told the Wall Street Journal. “And this certainly doesn’t allow them to remain.”

Jackson’s guest role was featured on the first episode of Season 3, however he was uncredited for contractual reasons and unconfirmed until years later. The plot revolves around the Simpson patriarch Homer who goes to a mental institution and shares a room with Kompowsky who claims to be Michael Jackson.
The episode also includes the “Happy Birthday Lisa” song, which Jackson wrote specifically for the show.
Executives have already started the process of removing the episode from their syndication circulation, although it will take some time to completely erase it from DVD and streaming services.
Get them all. Bring everybody down. No celebs musicans etc are safe. I hope all your favourite actors, athletes artists etc get put down.
Just leave the episode alone. It’s a classic
Word wtf. Fuck the Simpsons for doing this to MJ
Pathetic.
fck 2019.
FCK MEDIA.
fck fakenews.
fck everybody.
bumping some MJ music now.
First Apu now this.
Huge Simpsons but this is unacceptable that they want to delete that episode because of a documentary thats full of lies and to make it worst Michael Jackson is no longer available to defend himself and remind us that hes was found not guilty. They better delete all Michael Jackson jokes that are thrown in a few episodes like when Bart tells Millhouse that the soul is made up like the boogeyman and Michael Jackson
You clearly haven’t watched the Doco, or you are a Pedophile. I am a huge Michael Jackson fan, but this documentary left no stone unturned. Face facts, MJ made a 7 year old suck his d!ck. Good on the Simpsons
Except there were no facts or evidence. Just words from someone with a history of telling ties and changing his story of why when under oath he said what he did.
You’re in denial. Watch the documentary. Wade and Jimmy still love him , they lied for him. But Michael Jackson was a rock spider. A full blow pedophile hiding in plain site. He groomed there kids for sexual favours. MJ is cancelled.
So I’m not trying to defend michael but how was that documentary leaving no stone unturned and convinced people it has to be true? Its simply a story being told, there’s no evidence presented or anything being investigated, its people teling a story, i could literally sit down and tell stories about Michael jackson, how is this being regarded as a real investigation? People are so ridiculous literally believing anything you see on tv because tv is god right, now I’m not saying he did it but this is not the way to decide on his innocence or guilt, they had plenty of chances when he was on trial before why wait? And also if you think those people aren’t getting paid from this doc and are doing it out of their hearts then you’re stupid
@no rock spiders. If he’s guilty let him face the consequences. But you can’t destroy a man after all these years with a total lack of evidence. Honestly why are these two liars being taken seriously ? Why isn’t C Murders incarceration making noise because witnesses lied in the stand and thus free him? But people can switch uo their stories to destroy MJ after being acquitted ? Seems there’s an agenda to me.
Pc america at its LOWEST EVER …GTFOH
If you believe that condemning a well known pedophile is too PC…..please just kill yourself
So now even when the courts acquit an individual social justice can actually do more damage than the law itself? This is very stupid and very soon there will only be a handful of artists being streamed. Who’s next 2Pac? ODB? Biggie? Biggie rapped about raping kids and has never been condemned Jackson was acquitted partly based on statements by these same two individuals who lied under oath and now launching a social justice war.
That Biggie line was always suspect as fuck. But it was for shock value.Biggie wasn’t having sleep overs with kids. Adults don’t have sleep overs with children, and just because Michael was “child like” isn’t really a good enough excuse or reason.
The time of due process is over thanks to these SJWs. People getting cancelled because of public opinion.
So this is the ONE instance that we are not willing to question the legal system???? You don’t think it’s likely that in a time before the internet, a billionaire could buy himself his freedom. If he’s so innocent then why all the buy outs and settlements??? And if there was nothing sexual about it why not stop inviting kids into bed with you once people pointed out how weird it was….the answer is that this sick man couldn’t control his urges…you think every pedo gets convicted??? Hard to do when often the only witness is the child. Does that make it ok?? As for me all I need to know is he admitted to sleeping under the covers with a bunch of kids….don’t need to know more. He was a pedo in one form or another….the fact that he beat the case is a result of his wealth and also the blindness of his fan base that you exhibited so well with your post. Please don’t follow in you idols footsteps, leave the kids alone.
a storm in a teacup from the nineties.
I tried watching this s hit tonight and only got 30 minutes in before I turned it off. Who wants to watch two full documentaries describing sex acts between a grown man and children. PASS
those 2 guys are looking for the quick money, with fake accusations.
use your brain. dumbass.
only a pedo would defend a pedo….so I guess we know what you are.
Even if they are how does that change what I said about the documentary idiot
Meanwhile scientists just “discovered” that the moon isn’t in “outer space” it’s in the earth’s atmosphere. But nah yall just keep arguing about MJ and R Kelly. The laws of Thermodynamics have been violated, we went to the moon before we knew what Van Allen Belts were. Oh while we we’re on the moon nobody thought hey is it weird that there’s oxygen up here?
If Michael was really guilty then they should look into janet jackson and Jermaine dupri next. Jd always had kids around him and janet might’ve been into that stuff too like her brother, it would actually make alot of sense
dont be silly.
you are also totally brainwashed by the media now, like the rest of those social media zombies who believe every sh*t.
I think that you’re a brainwashed zombie if you don’t bother to weigh out the options and possibilities but instead close your mind off to whatever you think is the “truth”. I clearly said if, i didn’t say he was guilty but at the same time you gotta have a open mind to the possibility that he really did like kids like that, i don’t see it normal for people to want to constantly have kids close by that aren’t their own but he could’ve been so weird that he really saw himself as a big child. The only thing is his expressive and sexually suggestive dancing didn’t really seem as childish so it could’ve been the portrayal he wanted to give vs the real him.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me
Let the man rest in peace
What’s going on with this world? Whether we had suspects about him doing this or that he wasn’t proved guilty of abusing kids while he was alive. Why now that he is dead everyone is assuming he did? Now he doesn’t have the chance to defend himself.
The Simpsons has been irrelevant garbage for 20+ years now, nobody gives a fuck about what their shitty producers do now as they desperately try to appear politically correct and please the social justice warriors, at least we know South Park won’t pull the same shit
I chose not to watch the documentary but I did see the oprah interview on youtube. some interesting revelations but guess what they can go on all they like there are still going to be millions of people who love Michael Jackson and will listen to his music and that will never change. perhaps he groomed the world to love him.
Who cares, black people will still listen to genius Mike. white people can go back to their Beatles
