Paris Jackson is setting the record straight following comments made by actor Colman Domingo, who is set to portray Joe Jackson in the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, “Michael.” Domingo had stated at an event that Paris and her brother Prince Jackson were “very much in support of our film” and that Paris had been “very helpful.”
Refuting Claims of Involvement
Paris Jackson quickly took to social media to refute Domingo’s claims. She tweeted, “don’t be telling people I was ‘helpful’ on the set of a movie I had 0% involvement in lol that is so weird.” She further clarified her limited interaction with the project, stating, “I read one of the first drafts of the scripts and gave my notes about what was dishonest/didn’t sit right with me and when they didn’t address it I moved on with my life. Not my monkeys not my circus. God bless and God speed.”
Her response generated mixed reactions online, with some applauding her directness and others suggesting a softer approach or direct communication with Domingo. However, Paris remains firm in her stance, emphasizing her desire to control her own narrative.
Addressing Backlash and Family Allegations
In response to the ensuing backlash and claims that she “hates” her father, Michael Jackson, Paris addressed these points directly in a new Instagram story thread. She reminded followers of her consistent transparency and authenticity from the beginning.
About the ‘Michael’ Biopic
The biopic “Michael,” directed by Antoine Fuqua, stars Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson’s nephew, in the titular role. Reports indicate the project is extensive enough to be split into two films, with the first focusing on Michael Jackson’s early career with the Jackson 5 and his transition to solo stardom. Notably, sources suggest that darker allegations surrounding his career will not be a primary focus, aiming instead to celebrate his artistry.
Colman Domingo’s portrayal of Joe Jackson, Michael’s father and manager, is significant, given Joe’s controversial parenting style. Domingo has expressed a desire to honor the truth of the Jackson family’s legacy, but his comments about Paris’s involvement have clearly ignited a viral conversation.
