Michael Jackson’s estate is unleashing its fury on Discovery Channel for advertising an upcoming TV special set to run in the UK featuring a reenactment of MJ’s autopsy.
Co-Executors John Branca and John McClain fired off a vitriolic letter to the Prez of Discovery — obtained by TMZ — in which they accuse the network of operating in “shockingly bad taste … motivated solely by your blind desire to exploit Michael’s death, while cynically attempting to dupe the public into believing this show will have serious medical value.”
The Co-Executors are particularly outraged by a print ad, depicting a corpse sprawled on a gurney, covered by a sheet with a sequined glove sticking out.
Branca and McClain apparently realize they can’t legally stop the show — set to air on January 13 — but they are appealing to Discovery’s moral decency to cancel the program.
