Paris Jackson Criticizes Upcoming Michael Jackson Biopic as Dishonest

Paris Jackson has strongly criticized the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua, emphasizing her lack of involvement and disapproval of the film's portrayal of her father. She clarified that her only contribution was providing feedback on an early script draft, which she found dishonest and misleading, and that her concerns were ignored, leading her to distance herself from the project entirely. Paris accused the film of pandering to a specific segment of her father's fandom that clings to a fantasy narrative and described the biopic as sugar-coated and filled with inaccuracies and falsehoods. Despite actor Colman Domingo's claims that Paris and her brother Prince were supportive and helpful during production, she publicly refuted this, stating she had zero involvement beyond brief interactions and that Domingo’s comments were misleading. Paris urged fans to enjoy the film if they wish but made it clear she wants no association with it. The biopic, starring Michael Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson and set for release in April 2026, has already faced delays and controversy surrounding its creative direction and family involvement.
