Paris Jackson is setting the record straight regarding her involvement, or lack thereof, with the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. When actor Colman Domingo, who is set to portray the King of Pop, described Paris as “lovely and warm” and alluded to her being “helpful” on set, it seems it wasn’t quite the full picture she wanted to convey.
Paris Jackson recently took to social media to clarify her position, stating, “Don’t be telling people I was “helpful” on the set of a movie I had 0% involvement in lol that is so weird.” She further explained, “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.” This candid response from Paris Jackson highlights a common frustration for those whose personal histories or legacies are being interpreted or adapted, especially when their feedback isn’t incorporated. It’s a powerful reminder that involvement, even at the initial stages, doesn’t necessarily equate to endorsement or full creative partnership.
The situation raises interesting questions about familial involvement in biopics and the nuances of creative contribution versus passive presence. For many in the BIPOC community, seeing our icons and their stories on screen is deeply significant. When family members, like Paris Jackson, have a connection to the subject matter, their perspective carries weight. Her clear articulation about her limited engagement and the reasons for her detachment from the project speaks volumes about authenticity and the integrity of storytelling. It’s a conversation that resonates deeply, reminding us to seek truth and transparency in the narratives that shape our cultural understanding.
