A clip of Russell Simmons explains the historical reason for Jewish prominence in the music and film industries, suggesting they occupied spaces that WASPs (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) found "dirty" or undesirable. Simmons argues that Jewish businessmen were often the primary empowerment group for Black artists because they were willing to get their hands dirty in businesses others avoided.
Oprah Winfrey's support for the documentary "Leaving Neverland" marked a significant turning point in her public perception among Michael Jackson fans. Critics noted that Winfrey, who once interviewed Jackson at Neverland, shifted to a stance of "believing the accusers" without the same level of scrutiny applied to white figures. Her involvement in a later-abandoned documentary about Russell Simmons further cemented her reputation among some as a detractor of high-profile black men.
