Yo, LA fam, there’s some serious tea brewing in Hollywood, and it’s got the Jackson family name all over it. Paris Jackson, the daughter of the King of Pop, is straight-up calling out the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, claiming it’s more sugar-coated than a Venice Beach boardwalk churro. According to Paris, the film is filled with 'lies' and doesn’t tell the raw, real story of her iconic dad’s life - and she’s not here for it.
While the red carpet buzz is building for this major project, Paris is making it clear she’s not vibin’ with the polished narrative. Sources say she’s frustrated that the film, set to drop soon in SoCal theaters and beyond, skips over the gritty truths of Michael’s journey. With all eyes on this high-profile release, her comments are stirring up some serious Malibu-style drama.
On the flip side, Paris’s brother, Prince Jackson, 28, is all in for the biopic, hyping it up like it’s the hottest ticket at Coachella. Back in January 2023, he took to Instagram to shout out his cousin, Jaafar Jackson, who’s snagged the starring role as Michael. 'My cousin @jaafarjackson is going to be playing my father in the upcoming biopic produced by @gkfilms and directed by @antoinefuqua!' Prince posted, radiating that SoCal summer energy.
Prince didn’t stop there - he gushed about Jaafar’s hard work and natural talent. 'Truthfully, I couldn’t be happier and prouder for him, he’s been working his ass off and I know he’s going to do an amazing job,' he added. He’s confident Jaafar embodies their dad’s spirit, promising fans a side of Michael they’ve never seen, straight from the heart of Hollywood.
'I’m really happy that my family and I can go on this journey together,' Prince shared, emphasizing the personal stakes in this Tinseltown tale.
With Prince and the fam rallying behind the project, it’s clear there’s a rift wider than the 405 at rush hour between him and Paris. Prince wrapped up his Insta love letter to Jaafar with, '@jaafarjackson I know you’re going to be great bro, and again I couldn’t be prouder and happier for you cuz.' For him, this biopic isn’t just a movie - it’s a family mission to honor Michael’s legacy on the big screen.
Meanwhile, Paris’s sharp critique has fans wondering if she’ll even show up to the premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Will this family feud steal the spotlight from the film itself? One thing’s for sure - in true LA fashion, the drama off-screen might just be juicier than the story on it.
As this biopic rolls forward, all of Cali is watching to see if it’ll be a blockbuster or a bust. Will Paris’s claims of 'lies' get louder, or will Prince and Jaafar’s passion win over the crowd? Stick with us for the latest on this Hollywood saga - we’ve got the inside scoop straight from the 90210.
