Synopsis
The Michael Jackson Interview: The Footage You Were Never Meant To See aired on Fox in the United States. NBC reportedly bid $5 million for the footage, but Jackson sold the footage to Fox for $1.6 million.[1][2] It aired on Sky One in the United Kingdom.[3] It was presented by Maury Povich and contains material which Bashir omitted. It also features new interviews with people close to Jackson, such as his former wife Debbie Rowe, parents Joseph and Katherine, brother Jermaine and close friend Elizabeth Taylor. In this interview, Rowe claimed it was at her request that the children wore masks in public.[2] She also pointed out that the concept of "sharing a bed" can be misunderstood: for example, she herself likes watching television in bed; when she has a visitor, they both watch television together in bed. It also contains interviews with Bashir giving very different statements to what he had previously given in interviews and in the voice-overs. He is shown praising Jackson as a father saying that he thinks it is wonderful that he allows children to come to Neverland. [4][5]
