Paris Jackson would very much like to be excluded from the making of the Michael Jackson biopic. On Wednesday, the singer called out Colman Domingo for claiming she’d given the makers of the upcoming film Michael her support.
While they were both at the amfAR benefit gala at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday, Domingo hosted, Paris performed — Domingo told People that he was excited to be there with Michael’s daughter, celebrating. “It feels like that’s a nice way for us to be together,” he added. Domingo, who plays Joe Jackson, Michael’s father and Paris’s grandfather, also said that Michael’s children are “very much in support of our film” and that he “chatted briefly” with Paris about the project, adding that she’s been “nothing but lovely and warm.”
It sounds like Paris begs to differ. She took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday to tag Domingo and write, “Don’t be telling people I was ‘helpful’ on the set of a movie I had 0% involvement in lol that is so weird. I read one of the first drafts of the script 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.” She signed off the message with, “Not my monkeys, not my circus. God bless and god speed.”
A few hours later, Paris hopped on Instagram again to hash out more of her thoughts. “The film panders to a very specific section of my dad’s fandom that still lives in a fantasy,” she said, comparing the upcoming movie to music biopics like The Dirt and Bohemian Rhapsody, which were both criticized for inaccuracies. “It’s Hollywood. It’s fantasyland. It’s not real, but it’s sold to you as real,” she continued. “There’s a lot of inaccuracies and there’s a lot of full-blown lies. At the end of the day, that doesn’t really fly with me. I don’t really like dishonesty. I spoke up, I wasn’t heard, I fucked off, that was it.”
Some of Paris’s other family members are much more actively involved in the movie, including her cousin Jaafar Jackson, who’s starring as Michael, and her brother Prince Jackson, who Domingo said is a producer on the film. She seemed to reference Prince, explaining that she’s “not, like, calling the shots on set being a big-shot producer of a movie that’s filled with just inaccuracies,” adding, “I prefer honesty over sales and monetary gain.”
Michael is set to hit theaters April 24, 2026. I have a feeling Paris won’t be making it to the premiere.
