"Michael", a biopic about Michael Jackson, is officially happening.

From all indication she had distanced herself from the movie as when she read the 2nd or 3rd draft/script they had kept all things Paris pointed out as being untruthful in it from the 1st script. Meaning her feedback had been completely ignored. At that point she stopped trying to influence the project or have anything to do with it as she felt it was dishonest.

Fast forward maybe a year or so Colman Domingos comes out and claims Paris has been of great help to him playing Joe Jackson and Paris then comes out in response to that and says that is not true and also that she does not want to be associated with creating the movie as she has not contributed and also feel its not authentic portrayal of her father.

The first draft was written in 2017. So it's not "fast forward one year later and Colman." This is something she had kept in for a long time.
 
I’m taking this with a grain of salt until we find out (if ever) exactly what notes she gave and what parts of the film she takes issue with.

For example, “this isn’t an accurate representation of how my father parented me and my siblings” is absolutely something she has authority to comment on. “This isn’t how the Pepsi commercial accident went,” on the other hand, is something she wasn’t present for and likely wasn’t made privy to in MJ’s lifetime given that she was a child when he passed. Therefore you’d have to expect them to not take that criticism seriously.

People need to lay off Paris, but I also don’t entirely care for the way she went about this. Attacking Coleman Domingo for an innocuous comment that he could genuinely believe to be true is unnecessarily vitriolic.

I guess we’ll see.
 
She could have simply said she had no in put,and just left it at that she came across as quite rude in my opinion she could always drop the name jackson if she needed she does have a mother
 
Everyone has to have an opinion about the lone woman who stays in her truth. This is historically always the case, hilarious and very sad.

It's not the job of fans to tell someone to control the narrative. The bigger narrative vastly transcends the biopic and I prefer to stay in that.

Sure people will speculate, but using logic she implies that many fans actually know the truths about what she's referring to. Could be anything though.
And I'm certain she's legally prevented from saying anything specific about scripts anyway.
 
I think the thing that some are underappreciating is this is Michael's daughter; think it's safe to say that if Michael were here, he would support whatever his children had to say about him or products that are out of his hands. Agree that the communication could have been handled a little more tactfully, but some users here scolding her like she's supposed to be some sort of ambassador for the Estate and Hollywood's products. She cares about her Dad and the way he's portrayed (rightfully so).

Maybe it's being a Dad myself, but, hypothetically, if my child was unhappy with the way I was portrayed in some posthumous product, I wouldn't be concerned about the performance of the thing; I would be cheering her on.

She's been through the "Michael" album debacle (where they ignored her then too, over her cries of the fake vocals); just because she doesn't "play nice" with the system, doesn't mean she doesn't care; she just has her priorities on her Dad over the box office numbers.

I understand all of this but it's worth pointing out that, out of the 3 siblings, she was the only one who consciously chose to be in the spotlight. She's an actress, a musician, a model. She's the only one effectively in Hollywood.

So she knows the game, she knows how things work, she knows Colman is on a PR tour, she knows how chief editors move.

At the end of the day she knows she gave a full plate of peas to the very environment she works in.

And I'm not trashing her. She's a point about biopics being entertainment and not real. That's a no brainer though. It feels more like she's lashing out at another entity rather than generic Hollywood.

Choosing to be in the spotlight just underlined what I wrote: she wants to be seen as an individual, achieve something she can be proud of, not "just" being MJ's daughter.

And yes, she knows PR but it's just possible she had to get that off her chest without any goal or intention. Of course it's also possible she wants to achieve something with this statement, who knows. I don't know what's going on behind the curtains...all I am saying is: we always want people not to be harsh on Michael because you always have to look at the whole story and why people act the way they do...context, background information,...so let's also keep that in mind when it comes to his kids, please - or when it comes to anyone, basically.
 
Paris really polarises my opinion! I genuinely don’t know where she stands when it comes to Michael.

I do feel however that being as astute as she is, she must have known that the provocative language that she used would stir up controversy. She’s purposely used language and tone that feeds into the MSM’s perspective of Michael and this Biopic!

I also feel that her response to Dominic’s misquote is wildly disproportionate and instead she’s used that it as a springboard to vent.

Given the click bait this is now generating, it will be interesting to see if she clarifies the media interpretation of her quote with the same vigour as Dominic’s. If she doesn’t, it tells me exactly where she stands with Michael.
 
Think she has a lot of integrity and I just hope that biopic maintains his legacy, I think she cares a great deal about the truth. She is obviously seeing some discrepancies in this Hollywood project and gets frustrated when she can't do a thing about it.
 
The media response to Paris's statement could just be a taste of what awaits us when the biopic hits theaters. I think Paris has a lot of Michael in her. She's also a fighter for the truth. And that's exactly what you expect from a biopic: truth and authenticity.

I think she should have been more explicit with what she meant by some of her criticisms. Inferring that it’s inaccurate, sugarcoated and satisfies the disillusioned fans take on a specific element of his life (quite clear what she’s giving nod to here), creates a huge question mark over her belief on the subject.

In layman’s term/ for the the general public, she’s basically saying… the allegations are being covered, none if which they’re saying about it is truthful, believe the opposite.
 
Samsonite said:
Out of respect for her brother who is heavily involved in the film she should have just been diplomatic about this. I have stopped expecting anything from her tbh. If she doesn’t want anything to do with her father’s legacy that’s her problem. That’s why I like Prince a lot. He is holding the fort as best as he can as his 2 younger siblings aren’t interested 🤣 Just let her be guys and hope it doesn’t ruin our anticipation for the film :)

Please leave BIgi out of it.

He's does for MJs legacy behind the scenes. Prince said he was the one who planned and designed the thriller nights events for the HealLA charity prince runs.

BIgi just doesn't like attention or being in the spotlight and theres nothing wrong with that.
 
Harun said:
I don´t know whats wrong with Paris, since Leaving Neverland.

Paris read the first drafts of the script and still denounced Leaving Neverland.

So sorry to burst your bubble because I know you're hoping and praying she jumps on the Guilter train. but that has nothing to do with this.

She already denounced Wade and James and that mockumentary after it came out

Keep dreaming hun
 
Harun said:
Tell me, are you all blind? Paris is obviously showing that she's not very interested in Michael anymore, tattoo removals, cryptic stuff regarding leaving neverland and the weird behavior with Omer Batti... it's only 1% knowledge of human nature that she's been totally flustered since leaving neverland you live in your imaginative everything is always good fan life and now she is unfollowed Prince and co say to me is this behavoir normal!?
Click to expand...
Can we all agree that people who post blatant lies and propaganda should be banned?

It's already been debunked that Paris removed her MJ tattoos. She still has a huge as tattoo of MJs eyes on her arms.

And everything she said about LN was her denouncing it and calling Wade and James out as liars.

There's been no weird behavior with omer either.

This person is purposely spreading lies and misinformation.

Can everyone please report them? Or are you all just going to attack me again for trying protect this space from guilters taking over?
 
Lightbringer said:
Why would people even assume its about the allegations? If Paris as Harun is alleging thinks MJ was a child molester, why would she be trying to be involved in the film at all? It just does not make any sense. There is simply no evidence that Paris is questioning MJs innocence at all.

Harun is a Guilter.

I've called them out several times but they are still here so I guess no one cares.
 
Billie Jean 78 said:
Remind me please, what was it about Omer Batti?
And is it a fact she has had her tattoos of Michael removed?
Had she put the whole Jackson family on ignore?

It would be heartbreaking to find out Leaving Neverland corrupted her opinion about her own father.
Click to expand...
No she did not remove her MJ tattoos. Harun is a liar.

And she spoke out against LN. Harun is just projecting his own desires onto Paris and Omer.
 
I personally think that Paris is talking about the possible sugarcoating of the Jackson family itself and how the family itself exploited Michael Jackson when he was only a child for the the financial gain of the Jackson family.

I think Paris is just as dissatisfied with the estate as the fans, so she doesn't want to support anything anymore

That's absolutely fine sometimes it's just better to say nothing at all and just get on with life , she hasn't looked paticularly happy at some events with her brothers none of us know her thoughts or feelings , families don't have to agree on everything,but hope they don't drift apart but she's going to have to be prepared for the media to be on her
 
I doubt whether a film that's supposed to be family-friendly in order to be as profitable as possible is compatible with Michael's real life. Physical and emotional abuse in his youth by J., accusations and blackmail by supposed friends since the 1990s, suffering from accidents and illnesses, and, last but not least, a possible murder - all of this doesn't fit with a family film.

Choosing to be in the spotlight just reinforces how she has to be careful with her public image and what she says. She knows the game. At least she should by now.

I agree somewhat with her but she is not beyond reproach. She knows what she said with "my dad's fandom lives in a fantasy." She knows the response that will generate in the media. We can't coddle her but we don't need to be harsh. I've seen people using drugs to discredit her and that I do not condone. But I think she worded it very poorly. Or rather, I do think she worded it poorly on purpose to bring attention to it.

We don't know what she's trying to achieve and I respect her pain and I even agree with her point to some extent, but she did throw meat to the wolves and fans can disagree and call her out, respectfully of course.
 
I said it earlier but the comment that the fandom lives in a fantasy really frustrates me.

Seriously what the hell does she mean by that? That type of cryptic comment opens herself up to the point where it could sound like she’s talking about the allegations and perhaps believes them.

We, the fans are well aware of the massive amounts of trauma that Michael suffered in his life from his abusive childhood to the allegations and every other crazy rumour in between. We know he suffered terribly at times so the fantasy line does not sit with me.

If she feels that he was manipulated as a child then say it , he clearly was!! We know!

Don’t leave it up to speculation.

Nobody should use her drug use against her,she's clearly struggled,this is why I think she should take a back seat quietly and yes she does add fuel to the fire im sure she has times when she needs to vent.But maybe do it behind closed doors,we see Prince always smiling and looking positive,im sure he has his struggles ,as does Biggi I wish them all well I just fear she will be bombarded ,you can see it how the media are all over her comments
 
With her statement, Paris could only have been referring to regular fans who might have a Best of or Thriller. But certainly not us hardcore fans.

That's not the point. Hardcore fans know every detail about the allegations and Michael's life, and regular fans don't.

I wanted to say that with the term "fandom," Paris might be referring to regular fans who don't know Michael's life well. And these fans make up the majority of all fans, and the film is for these regular fans.
