Michael Jackson’s Daughter Paris Jackson Distances From Biopic Citing Inaccuracies

Paris Jackson, daughter of Michael Jackson, has publicly distanced herself from the upcoming biopic "Michael," expressing strong disapproval of the film's portrayal of her father. Despite actor Colman Domingo's claims that Paris and her brother Prince were supportive of the project, Paris clarified on Instagram that she had minimal involvement and withdrew after her concerns about dishonesty and inaccuracies in the script were ignored. She criticized the film for perpetuating a manipulated, Hollywood fantasy rather than an accurate depiction, calling out the presence of "full-blown lies" and emphasizing her dislike of dishonesty. Paris encouraged fans to enjoy the film if they wish but insisted on being left out of its promotion or association. The movie, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Paris’ cousin Jaafar Jackson as Michael, is slated for release in 2026 after multiple delays, with a substantial $155 million budget. This controversy highlights the tension between the biopic's producers and Michael Jackson's family regarding the film's authenticity and narrative control.
