I’m sitting back, waiting to see. It’ll be very clear who I’m supporting.”

She also mentioned the controversy she faced for her involvement in HBO’s Leaving Neverland documentary. In spite of the backlash, she initially just wanted to open up the dialogue around sexual abuse and misconduct.

“I really wanted to talk to not just the guys but other people who were seeing it because I knew that people were going to be triggered by it,” she said. “I knew that there would be people who would be re-traumatized by it and would see themselves in it, and I thought, ‘I can help thread the needle of what is actually happening here.’
