When Colman Domingo, who plays his late grandfather Joe Jackson, said Prince and Paris were “very supportive” of Michael, Paris begged to differ.
“Please don’t tell people I ‘served’ on the set of a movie I wasn’t involved with lol,” Michael’s daughter wrote on her Instagram Story in August 2025. “That’s so strange.”
Rather, she continued, “I read one of the first drafts of the script and wrote notes about what was disingenuous, what didn’t sit well with me, and when they didn’t address it, I moved on with my life. Not my monkey, not my circus. God bless and God speed.”
The following month, she fleshed out her views in a series of Instagram videos, saying, “They’re going to make whatever they make from now on. A big reason I haven’t said anything until now is because I know a lot of people would be happy with it,” and that it’s “pandering to a very specific part of my father’s fandom that is still living in a fantasy.”
Paris said Hollywood biopics are “sold as the real deal” but “sugar-coated.”
In other words, she claimed: “The narrative is controlled. There are a lot of inaccuracies and a lot of outright lies. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really resonate with me. I don’t really like injustice.”
Paris also shot back, saying, “I hate my father…because I’m not going to be a big producer on a movie set that’s full of inaccuracies. That’s not my truth…I just prefer honesty over sales and financial gain.”
