Madonna says Michael Jackson is "innocent until proven guilty" in her eyes, despite the new allegations of child sex abuse that have been made against him.
The 60-year-old pop icon insisted in the wake of 'Leaving Neverland' - Dan Reed's two-part documentary in which Wade Robson and James Safechuck accused
the late musician of sexually abusing them after befriending them as children - that she doesn't have a "lynch-mob mentality" and always demands proof when she hears a serious accusation has been made against someone, as she knows what it's like to be lied about.
In an interview with British Vogue, she said: "I don't have a lynch-mob mentality, so in my mind, people are innocent until proven guilty.
"I've had a thousand accusations hurled at me that are not true. So my attitude when people tell me things about people is, 'Can you prove it?'"
The Queen of Pop - who took Jackson as her date to the 1991 Oscars and even shared a kiss with the King of Pop - admitted that she hasn't yet seen the film, which the Jackson Estate branded a "public lynching" as well as taking legal action against makers HBO and Channel 4.
