Celebrities with connections to Michael Jackson are reeling from explosive child sexual abuse allegations made against the late music icon in the new HBO documentary “Leaving Neverland.”

This includes Corey Feldman, who, as a child star, was one of the youngsters whose company the eccentric King of Pop famously preferred to adults. Feldman, 47, has said Jackson never molested him. But he also has spent the past three days trying to publicly reconcile the sweet, gentle adult friend he says he knew with the manipulative, serial predator described by accusers James Safechuck and Wade Robson in the documentary.

Noticeably silent in the post-“Leaving Neverland” debate about Jackson’s legacy is President Donald Trump, Vulture reported.

The silence is notable considering that Trump and his family enjoyed a long and sustained friendship with Jackson that began in the 1980s, Vulture said in a new report. Trump also was one of Jackson’s most famous defenders after the singer was accused of molesting boys in two separate cases in 1993 and 2003, Vulture added.

Trump continued to speak up for Jackson after he died in 2009, with the then-“Celebrity Apprentice” star telling Larry King that Jackson was “not a molester. I’m certain of that.”

Trump recalled to King the times he and Jackson shared at Trump Tower in New York City, where he said Jackson lived “for extended periods of time.” Trump also said Jackson was a regular guest at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

“He was a terrific guy and a wonderful guy,” Trump said to King about Jackson. It’s likely that Trump and Jackson bonded over being rich and famous and their shared interests in cultivating flamboyant, over-the-top personas and life-styles, Vulture added.

It turns out that Jackson also was friendly with other members of the Trump family, according to Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump. During Jackson’s reported residency in Trump Tower in the late 1980s, he spent quite a bit of time in the Trump family triplex, Ivana Trump wrote in her 2017 memoir, “Raising Trump.”

In fact, Ivana Trump said Jackson, then 30, much preferred to hang out with her children, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric, than with her and her husband. She said he was a regular supervised visitor during her children’s playdates. At the time, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric would have been around 12, 8 and 5.

“The only person who had an open invitation to come to the triplex for playdates whenever he wanted was Michael Jackson,” Ivana Trump wrote. “The King of Pop lived in Trump Tower and was a good friend of the whole family. He’d stop by and chat with Donald and me for a few minutes, and then he’d go up to the kids’ floor to hang out for hours and hours.”

Ivana Trump said Jackson and her children would watch MTV, play Mario Brothers and Tetris and use Legos to build — what else? — a miniature Trump Tower. Ivanka Trump apparently didn’t see anything problematic about Jackson’s interest in being with the children.

“Michael was a 30-year-old kid,” Ivana Trump wrote. “He could relate to Ivanka and the boys better than to us.”

But given that Ivana Trump’s memoir was published eight years after Jackson’s death — when the child sex abuse allegations had become a part of the conversation about him — she made sure to insist that he was never alone with her children.

“For the record, during those playdates with Michael, the nannies or I was always in the room,” Ivana Trump said.

Ivana Trump also remembered how Jackson created “a near riot” when he attended Ivanka’s school performance of “The Nutcracker.” Apparently, one of Ivanka Trump’s fellow ballerinas heard Jackson was coming to the show and came up with the idea that all the dancers should wear one white glove, in honor of the pop star’s signature style.

“The teachers were horrified, and the teen dancer was taken to task for even thinking of compromising the costumes of the production,” Ivana Trump wrote. “Ivanka was mortified to be the indirect cause of the tension, but she didn’t let it affect her performance.”

In any case, Jackson told Ivana Trump that Ivanka “looked like an angel that night.”

Like Donald Trump, Ivana Trump expressed disbelief in her memoir that Jackson could be a child molester.

“My read on him is that he was asexual,” Ivana Trump wrote. “He was a child himself in a man’s body, tender, sweet and gentle. I never believed the accusations that he molested those kids. There’s no way he could have hurt anyone.”
