Wade Robson had a complicated relationship with his mentor Michael Jackson, whom he accused of sexual assault. Before then, though, he spent so much time with the King of Pop that it seems natural that Robson would become close with Michael's inner circle, including his niece, Brandi Jackson.
As Brandi shared in a 2019 interview with Billboard, she and Robson dated for several years after meeting in 1991. "After getting to know each other on set, Wade had developed a crush on me, and my uncle invited Wade's family, as well as myself and my brother to Neverland. ... On that trip, Wade asked me to be his girlfriend. I was 9 or 10 years old, and our relationship went on for more than seven years," Brandi reflected. She remembered that their relationship included dance classes, trips to the movies, bike rides together, and song-writing dates. "We literally grew up together," she concluded.
However, their adult relationship has been tainted by Robson's allegations that he was abused by Brandi's uncle. To date, Brandi maintains that Michael was incapable of abusing any child. Her statement in the YouTube documentary "Neverland Firsthand" directly contradicts Robson's account of what happened as he recalled in the HBO documentary "Leaving Neverland." Brandi claims she wasn't included in the later film because "it discredits what he's saying."
