Gloria Hunniford angers Loose Women viewers with views on Michael Jackson's alleged victims
Gloria Hunniford has been blasted from Loose Women viewers following a discussion about the controversial Michael Jackson documentary, Leaving Neverland.
The two-parter focuses on the accounts of two men who allege they suffered sexual abuse at the hands of the pop star when they were children.
Gloria was a panellist on Thursday's edition of the ITV daytime show when she questioned why Jackson's alleged victims, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, were now speaking up.
Gloria said: "The bit I don't understand, if it is all true, is why 10 years later? Why not two or three years after Michael died? I don't get that really."
Gloria is exactly the kind of person who'd believe MJ didn't do it. Old school. Set in her ways and closed minded. Disgraceful #LooseWomen

@gloriahunniford@loosewomen @janemoore444When you have suffered sexual abuse, then, you will understand when the time is right for you to talk about it. STOP JUDGING & if you do judge which, you did at least be educated!!!!

Very rarely see #LooseWomen, but accidentally left it on +1. Believe the #LeavingNeverland allegations or not, Gloria Hunniford's spectacular and judgemental ignorance concerning abuse victims and how they should (in her view) behave is a strong reminder why I don't watch.
