When Colman Domingo, who portrays her late grandfather Joe Jackson, stated that Prince and Paris were “very much in support” of Michael, Paris had a different perspective.

“Don’t be telling people I was ‘helpful’ on the set of a movie I had 0% involvement in lol,” Michael’s daughter shared on her Instagram Story in August 2025. “That is so weird.”

Instead, she elaborated, “I read one of the first drafts of the script and provided my feedback about what felt dishonest / didn’t resonate with me, and when they didn’t address it, I moved on with my life. Not my monkeys not my circus. God bless and god speed.”

She clarified her stance the following month, stating in a series of Instagram videos, “They’re gonna make whatever they’re gonna make. The main reason why I haven’t spoken out until now is because I know many of you are going to be pleased with it” since it “panders to a very specific segment of my dad’s fandom that still lives in a fantasy.”

Hollywood biopics are “sold to you as real,” Paris remarked, but they’re “sugar-coated.”

This implies, she claimed, “The narrative is being controlled. There’s a lot of inaccuracy and there are outright lies. Ultimately, that doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t appreciate dishonesty.”

Paris also responded to claims that she “hates her dad,” stating, “I’m not, like, calling the shots on set as a big-shot producer of a movie filled with inaccuracies. That’s not my truth…I just prefer honesty over sales and monetary gain.”
