Michael Jackson has been on everyone's minds since the release of the explosive documentary "Leaving Neverland," which aired on HBO a few weeks ago.
Since the premiere, Michael's friends, family and fans have spoken out in his defense against Wade Robson and James Safechuck, the two men featured in the documentary accusing Jackson of sexual abuse.
Pictured above is Michael and Diana performing for the 1971 TV special "Diana" on ABC.
It was well known that Michael always admired Diana; he looked up to her professionally while curating a special personal bond that would last a lifetime.
A pop film turned cult classic, the film allowed Michael and Diana's bond to grow even stronger.
When asked about his close friends, Michael replied he had "a very dear, close friend that I can tell my deepest, darkest secrets to because I know she won't tell anyone else. Her name is ... Miss Diana Ross."
Given this history of lifelong friendship, it's no wonder Diana has not spoken out against Michael.
She took to Twitter to speak out in defense of her friend.
"I believe and trust that Michael Jackson was and is a magnificent incredible force to me and to many others."
She is, of course, referencing Wade Robson and James Safechuck (pictured above).
Many fans couldn't accept Ross' support for Michael.
What do you think of Diana's comments?
