In 2010, a student interviewed Wade & Amanda for a college study.
Unfortunately the complete report isn't available, but the summary alone is riddled with Wade's distorted spin on reality as he attempts to justify his lack of work in years and embellishes his ties with Michael.

CLAIM: "Wade, seeing the trapped life MJ led, took himself out of Hollywood for a few years and renewed himself spiritually."
FACT: Wade & Amanda wasted years scriptwriting to no success. "I spend most of my time saying no to jobs, probably to my own demise." -Wade Robson, 2009

CLAIM: "Wade & MJ crossed paths at an early point in Wade's life, paving the way for his success as well as his almost obsessive work ethic."
FACT: MJ had begged Joy to stop working Wade so hard & let him have a childhood. Joy drove his obsessive work ethic & projects, not MJ.

CLAIM: "Robson danced for Jackson as a child, and befriended him too."
FACT: Robson won a public dance contest at age 5 & appeared alongside many other kids in one concert a couple days later.
MJ had no correspondence w/ the Robsons for 2+ years after this one-time occurrence.

"...2 friends, both highly creative & motivated people, traveled starkly divergent paths, yet remained connected the entire way."
The full report would be interesting—Wade was already facing financial peril. His excuse for "taking a break" is similar to his 2011 MOVE interview.
