Paris Jackson posted a series of Instagram Stories on Tuesday. She told fans that Colman Domingo misrepresented her stance on the upcoming Michael Jackson film. She said Domingo claimed she and her brother Prince fully support the project. Jackson said that claim is false.
Why She Felt the Need to Speak Out
Jackson explained that she never agreed to be a consultant on the movie. She wrote, “I was not helpful on the set of a movie I had 0% involvement in.” The statement made it clear she wanted to correct the record. She added that she felt misled by the public narrative.
Jackson admitted she read an early draft of the script. She gave notes about parts she found dishonest. When the producers ignored her feedback, she decided to step away. “I read one of the first drafts and gave my notes about what was dishonest,” she wrote. “When they didn’t address it, I moved on with my life.”
Her Final Comments on the Film
Jackson said the film feels like a fantasy version of her father’s life. She called Hollywood biopics “controlled narratives” filled with inaccuracy. She warned fans that the movie may cater to a niche part of Michael Jackson’s fandom that enjoys myth over truth. “The narrative is being controlled and there’s a lot of inaccuracy,” she said.
Context About the Michael Biopic
The film, titled Michael, is directed by Antoine Fuqua and produced by Graham King. It is set to open on Friday, April 24, 2026. Colman Domingo plays Joe Jackson, Michael’s father, in the movie. Domingo told People magazine that Paris and Prince Jackson were “very much in support of our film.” Jackson’s response directly contradicts that claim.
Impact on Fans and the Public
Fans of Michael Jackson have taken to social media to discuss the controversy. Many appreciate Jackson’s honesty. Others wonder how much influence the Jackson children have over the final cut. The debate highlights how Hollywood biopics can spark strong reactions when they involve beloved icons.
Looking Ahead
Jackson said she will stay out of the project unless the producers choose to honor her feedback. She encouraged the audience to watch the movie if they enjoy it, but to keep her out of the conversation. “I suggest you do the same,” she concluded.
