Three radio stations in Canada have removed all Michael Jackson music from their rotations.
USA Today reports the owner of the three Montreal stations decided to do so following the airing of Leaving Neverland, an HBO documentary in which two men outline sexual abuses they claim to have suffered at the hands of the King of Pop while they were boys.
The removal of Jackson's music from all Cogeco Media radio stations went into effect on Monday, one day after the first half of the docuseries aired.
Cogeco spokeswoman Christine Dicaire stated executives decided to pull the music because of the public's reaction to the allegations.
"We are attentive to listeners' comments, and last night's documentary created reactions," Dicaire shared in a statement to The Hill.

The Associated Press reports that the ban on Jackson's music will eventually apply to all 23 Cogeco Media stations, including those that transmit to small audiences in Quebec.
As Vulture reports, Leaving Neverland contained graphic accounts of disturbing behavior, including allegations Jackson forced children to perform anal sex and that the singer designed his Neverland estate to hide child molestation.
The Jackson family has vehemently denied the allegations contained in the documentary, as Refinery 29 reports.
"Go do your research about these opportunists," the family's statement read. "The facts don’t lie, people do. Michael Jackson was and always will be 100 percent innocent of these false allegations."
