Jackson Sons Back Biopic Amidst Paris's Doubts

Michael Jackson's sons, Blanket (Bigi) and Prince, attended the Berlin premiere of the biopic 'Michael' on Friday, April 8, 2026. They were joined by other Jackson family members, including Jaafar Jackson, who portrays his uncle in the film. Their sister, Paris Jackson, was absent from the event.

Paris has publicly voiced her disapproval of the $150 million film, labeling it 'dishonest' and a 'fantasy.' Her absence from the premiere coincides with reports suggesting she now believes allegations of her father being a pedophile are likely true. Paris has also escalated a legal dispute with estate executors John Branca and John McClain, alleging financial mismanagement and the misuse of estate funds to finance the biopic.

Estate lawyers have refuted Paris's claims, stating her objections are based on misinterpretations or a desire for media attention. They argue that producing a film about Michael Jackson's life is a responsible endeavor. Paris previously stated in September 2025 that she had provided notes on an early script but moved on when her concerns were not addressed, disliking the film's 'fantasy' narrative for a specific fan base.
