Michael Jackson's children are understandably having a hard time as HBO's Leaving Neverland continues to capture headlines.

The controversial HBO documentary has aired detailed and disturbing stories from two men who say Jackson groomed them for sex and molested them when they were little boys.

Many of the Jacksons are publicly fighting back against claims by James "Jimmy" Safechuck and Wade Robson, but the singer's three kids — Prince, 22, Paris, 20, and Blanket, 17 — have remained silent.

"They can't believe it, because they know Wade," said Michael's bother, Jackie Jackson. "They can't believe what is going on."

Jackie added while the claims are "devastating" to the siblings, they all maintain their father's innocence. "They are going through some troubling times," he added. "It's painful for them."
