Wade & Amanda hit rock bottom in 2011. They fixated on film scripts instead of jobs. Wade auctioned off MJ items for cash & begged estate for gig. New child, more expenses, no income, panic attacks & a lack of creativity and talent to finish any of the film projects they started.

By 2012, Wade's former entertainment career was in shambles. Jobs were given to his rivals, including Jamie King for MJ One (represented by same agency as Wade). He couldn't fulfill role as big-time director, having resigned from Step Up. Marital arguments and freak-outs ensued.

Rather than taking medicine that Wade's doctors prescribed to treat his mostly financial-related anxieties & depression, he narcissistically refused while desperately trying to find another way to blame others for his failures and misfortunes (even using his own kid as a cause).

After more "doctor shopping", TED Talk watching & brainstorming ideas to possibly dig himself out of financial ruin without having to file bankruptcy or pursue a more ordinary career, Wade had his ah-ha moment. Get revenge on estate for not hiring him and dip into their pockets.

Wade internally reasoned that all of his voluntarily wasted years chasing filmmaking & scriptwriting dreams were the result of generic words of wisdom MJ offered him in the early-90s. It was MJ who prophesied Wade would be bigger than Spielberg, and yet now he was nothing at all.

But, Wade rationalized, it'd look foolish to go after the estate based only on MJ's encouraging words decades ago. Nobody would take that seriously and it lacked any headline-generating or estate-humiliating elements. Wade needed something more drastic to make fast cash.

The choice soon became obvious for Wade, he would randomly claim MJ molested him along with the whole prophecy bit. This would turn Wade from the cash-strapped father-husband w/ no job to the victim.

"I spend most of my time saying no to jobs, probably to my own demise." -Wade

This sudden pivot by Wade to claim years of continual abuse as part of his new-hatched idea to get rich did not sit well with those who knew him. Amanda disagreed so much with the prospect that talks of divorce occurred. Wade didn't care, he decided to pen a new sensational book.

Wade thought his sudden claims of abuse would be a hot topic that any publisher would snatch up w/ huge advance payments and bonuses to purchase the rights. He could see himself as the next James Frey, who made millions on a book initially presented as fact (notably by Oprah).

Instead, all three publishers Wade secretly shopped his book to declined his request. Not only had he wasted another half-year of potential work time obsessing over the latest iteration of his fictional script writing (in the form of MJ accusations), but nobody was interested.

Realizing Wade's get-rich-quick scheme of book publishing diminished and any plans to become "relatable/relevant" via imagined victimization fizzled, 2013 approached and he was more financially perilous than ever. So desperate in April they put their luxurious home on the market.

The same month Wade put his house up for sale, Wade & a new attorney worked frantically on Plan B: A civil lawsuit against the estate (w/ actual allegations under seal) in hopes they'd opt for quickly settle it to prevent media uproar and public scrutiny, akin to the Chandlers.

Wade finished his original affidavit in April 2013 and made the first court filing on May 1, 2013. The estate refused any out-of-court settlement.

On May 8 Wade & Amanda's beloved home sold, the same day TMZ announced the claims publicly. A week later Wade gave NBC interview.

Still, nobody cared and even anti-MJ audiences like those on TMZ overwhelmingly saw Wade as a fraud.

The urgent payday Wade expected from book publishers and then from the estate to save his financial free-fall never happened. He wasted years losing jobs and years on this scam.

Wade & Amanda downsized, relocating back to Amanda's native region in Hawaii. Wade made a new business in '14 (it went defunct this spring) & his wife established one in '15; the duo would primarily make obscure commercials for local businesses. Not quite Steven Spielberg level.

Wade, realizing his desperate cash grab from the estate without having to work had failed, quietly announced he was returning to dance work in 2016-17. Yet in his lawsuit he would claim the "traumas" made him "permanently leave" the field as a way to maximize punitive damages.

After shifting lawyers to a tabloid darling who often sues for 9-digits, attempts continued to gain legal ground or pressure the estate into settling. This included relentless bullying of MJ's friends including Spence (who wasted time & money fighting their "fishing expedition.")

Then came the dangerous Me Too movement where anyone could make blind accusations against another & be instantly championed as a hero by the masses, without a shred of corroborative facts.

The "believe all accusers" hysteria aligned perfectly for the production of LN in 2017-18.

After Wade & James' cases were dismissed in court—now with a sizeable amount of debt owed to MJ's estate in fees—they pursued appeals to postpone the inevitable.

Simultaneously they seized the Me Too crowd and media conglomerates, who helped fund their agenda and push it to max.

In anticipation of the global premiere of their grotesque CSA fantasies, after 1.5 months of 24/7 news coverage & an aggressive marketing firm pushing out all of the "disturbing" talking points, Wade tidied up his website & the "Robson Family Fund" to solicit financial donations.

Donations to Wade's fund were arranged through a foundation so that he never has to disclose or report any donations on public filings. Wade added that his wife was a child abuse survivor for max impact on the donate page, before quietly deleting that clause & changing the name.

In the end, LN was a ratings bust despite having more media attention than any other documentary this decade. This included a two-channel Oprah special, media blitz by the stars, and 1000s of "influencers" who were wined & dined to spread word of the film to their followers.

Seven years, four amended complaints, endless falsified tabloid stories pushed out as part of the "trial by media" attempts, James Safechuck (w/ short cameo by "Jane Doe") joining the agenda, Me Too fandom, HBO, C4, Sundance... Yet still Wade, James, Finaldi and Reed have failed.
