Paris Jackson said she rejected the Antoine Fuqua-directed "Michael" biopic after reading an early draft, calling it "fantasy land" filled with "inaccuracy" and "full-blown lies."
In Instagram Stories and earlier 2025 remarks, the 28-year-old said she sent notes flagging what she saw as dishonest material, but the filmmakers ignored them and made the movie anyway.
Paris also pushed back on claims that her criticism means she hates Michael Jackson, saying her stance is about choosing honesty over "sales and monetary gain."
Her comments resurfaced as the film's release put Michael Jackson back in the spotlight, even as other Jackson family members including Prince and Bigi attended the premiere.

Given the family's public split over the film, who truly controls Michael Jackson's legacy now?
