Paris Jackson distances herself from authorized Michael biopic ‘filled with inaccuracies’

by

On a typical day in Los Angeles, Paris Jackson was spotted casually walking around, showing a gesture of peace following her decision to step away from the Lionsgate-produced, authentic musical biography titled “Michael,” which focuses on her deceased father.

Jaafar Jackson, cousin to the 27-year-old heiress, takes on the role as the legendary pop star Michael Jackson in Antoine Fuqua’s $155 million dual film production, set to premiere simultaneously in U.S. and UK theaters on April 24. This project is overseen by the joint executors of Michael Jackson’s estate, John Branca and John McClain.

Paris Jackson, known as Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson in her birth name, expressed upset after Colman Domingo, who plays her great grandfather Joe Jackson in the movie, implied to People magazine that she was strongly backing their film and had a brief conversation with him at the amfAR Venezia Gala on Sunday.

Jackson took it upon herself to sing a song at an event benefiting the AIDS Foundation, which was established in memory of her late godmother Elizabeth Taylor. As the 55-year-old recipient of an Emmy award, she also served as the event’s host and assisted in raising a total of $3.4 million for this important cause.

In a post on Instagram Tuesday, the celebrity kid from Beverly Hills inaccurately stated, “He mentioned that Paris is incredibly helpful and supportive towards this movie, and she’s been assisting behind the scenes.

I’ve only met him on two occasions – first at a birthday party and later at the amfAR event last night. Both encounters were very brief.

It was also stated by Colman that Prince Jackson, Paris’ older sibling, was involved in the production of Michael. Yet, it appears he doesn’t have a credit for this project on IMDb.

In the previous year, the founder of Heal LA Foundation (who is now 28 years old) enthusiastically posted on Instagram, expressing that the movie felt like a fulfillment of a lifelong dream. He also shared how witnessing his 29-year-old cousin Jaafar’s relentless efforts reminded him of watching his father perform live – the closest experience he could have to that.

The film titled “Michael” offers an account that claims to be impartial about the 1993 child sexual abuse allegations against its namesake. This production stars Miles Teller, Kat Graham, Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Larenz Tate, and Derek Luke.

As a devoted fan, I couldn’t help but feel my heart sink when Jackson decided to step away from the grand endeavor. Her insightful criticism on the early draft of the script went unheard by the producers, leaving her no choice but to walk away.

These biopics are all about Hollywood – it’s like a dreamland. The problem is, it’s not reality, but they make you think it is. There’s a lot of sweetening of the truth going on, as if the storyline is being manipulated.”

The heavily-tattooed millennial vented their thoughts.

There’s too much misinformation and downright fabrications. Frankly, I can’t stand dishonesty. I voiced my concerns, but they fell on deaf ears. So, I moved on. In short, if you enjoy the movie, then go watch it, have a good time-just don’t involve me in your enjoyment.

In simpler terms, Paris, with an impressive 7.9 million social media followers, asserted, ‘The movie caters primarily to a certain segment of my father’s fanbase that remains immersed in fantasy, and they will find it satisfying.’

Jackson indirectly criticized the movie production company GK Films regarding the 2018 Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, as she referenced Freddie Mercury’s family’s reaction to watching the film: ‘I recall learning about how Freddie Mercury’s family reacted when they saw the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.’

The woman who claims to be like Thom Yorke defended herself against those accusing her of hating her famous dad because she gets $8 million a year and bonuses at certain ages from his $100 million estate, as mentioned by Page Six.

Paris chuckled at the frequent assertions that she harbors intense feelings of dislike, resentment, and a desire for distance from her father.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase the statement as follows: “I, personally, am not in control of movie production where inaccuracies abound. That’s not my reality or my approach. I champion honesty over profit and monetary gain. Simply put, I distanciate myself from such productions.

At the tender age of 11, Jackson, who seldom appears with her biological mother Debbie Rowe, lost her father Michael in 2009 following a fatal overdose of propofol and benzodiazepine at the age of 50.

The actors appearing on Doctor Odyssey will soon be featured in two Atlanta-based projects: RZA’s drama titled One Spoon of Chocolate and Ronald Krauss’ indie horror thriller Open Wounds.
