		</div><p>An episode of The Simpsons featuring the voice of Michael Jackson is being pulled following the controversial documentary about the star.</p>
<p>Two men, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, allege in a Channel 4 documentary that they were sexually abused by the King of Pop.</p>
<p>The Wall Street Journal says that producers of The Simpsons have decided to remove the episode, Stark Raving Dad, from streaming services and TV channels which air the show.</p>
<p>Jackson voiced a character in the episode, which aired in 1991, but his involvement was only confirmed years later.</p>

<p>Jackson voiced Leon Kompowsky, who meets Homer in a psychiatric hospital, where he claims to be the pop star and does the moonwalk.</p>
<p>“It feels clearly the only choice to make,” executive producer James L Brooks told The Wall Street Journal.</p>
<p>Fellow executive producers Matt Groening and Al Jean agree with the decision, he said, adding: “The guys I work with – where we spend our lives arguing over jokes – were of one mind on this.”</p>
<p>“This was a treasured episode. There are a lot of great memories we have wrapped up in that one, and this certainly doesn’t allow them to remain,” Brooks told the newspaper.</p>
<p>“I’m against book burning of any kind. But this is our book, and we’re allowed to take out a chapter,” he added.</p>
<p>The Jackson family have denied the allegations against the late singer, saying the HBO and Channel 4 film is “all about the money”.</p>
