Paris Jackson attempts to clarify her views of the Michael Jackson biopic: “The film panders to a very specific section of my dad’s fandom that still lives in the fantasy and they’re going to be happy with it.”
After expressing her unhappiness over Colman Domingo saying she was involved with the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic on Instagram, Paris has vaguely clarified her instagram story with another instagram story.
I’m glad she is speaking up. She’s super articulate about it & seems incredibly grounded given what has to be absolute madness in the middle of her dad’s legacy. I had no intention of seeing the film but like her position of acknowledgment that it is a fan fantasy project.

What a weird spot for her to be in. Her dad one of the most famous people of all time but his legacy is so complicated and problematic. Still fanatically loved & hated by millions…
I can’t imagine what it’s like to have to constantly contend with stuff like this for your entire life.

Very wise words at the end.
We should all mind our own businesses more.
That said, a biopic of Michael Jackson focused on him as a father would be fire.

I hate that she’s going to spend her entire life having people say what she experienced as a child with a father with a significant opioid addiction didn’t happen. She’s been putting distance between herself and the myth of Michael for years and I hope she can continue to heal.

Incredibly well said and level headed.

I hope she writes a book some day.

I’m not quite sure but is she alluding to the notion that she believes her dad is guilty?
