Paris Jackson Rejects Claims of Supporting Michael Jackson Biopic
Paris Jackson, the daughter of the late pop icon Michael Jackson, has recently made headlines by setting the record straight about her role—or lack thereof—in the upcoming biopic about her father. Despite some public statements suggesting she was supportive and even involved, Paris has been clear: she had “zero percent involvement” in the project.
This clarification came after actor Colman Domingo, who plays Michael’s father Joe Jackson in the film, praised Paris and her brother Prince for what he described as their support. He told People magazine that Paris had been warm and lovely toward him, and he gave the impression that both siblings were behind the movie. But Paris quickly took to Instagram to reject that idea, calling it “so weird” that anyone would say she was helpful on the set when she hadn’t been involved at all.
Paris explained that early on she was given a draft of the script and offered notes about what she believed was dishonest or didn’t sit right. But when those notes were ignored, she stepped away completely. In her words, “Not my monkeys, not my circus. God bless and God speed.” She added that she didn’t want her name tied to a project she had no say in, especially when her concerns were dismissed.

Paris admitted that this was partly why she had stayed quiet until now. She didn’t want to interfere with those who might find joy in the film, but she also wanted to make it clear that her personal voice had not been part of its creation. She emphasized that it is not her project, and whatever story the filmmakers decide to tell is theirs alone.
The biopic, titled Michael , has been in development for years with the backing of the Jackson estate. Michael’s nephew Jaafar Jackson has been cast to portray the King of Pop, marking his feature film debut. The movie is set for release in April 2026, with a cast that includes Nia Long, Miles Teller, and Kat Graham, and it has already faced some controversy over rewrites and reshoots connected to sensitive aspects of Jackson’s life.
Paris Jackson’s comments highlight a recurring tension between family members of cultural icons and the entertainment industry that seeks to dramatize their lives. While the film may still draw large audiences, Paris has made it clear she wants no part in shaping or endorsing it. Instead, she is leaving it up to viewers to decide for themselves how they feel about the version of her father that is being brought to the screen.
