Paris Jackson Says She Had No Involvement’ in Michael Jackson Biopic After Star Colman Domingo Praises Her Support

Paris Jackson is refuting claims made by Colman Domingo regarding her alleged involvement in Michael, the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic from director Antoine Fuqua and writer John Logan.

Oscar nominee Domingo stars in the film as Jackson family patriarch Joe Jackson.

While hosting the amfAR benefit gala in Venice, Colman was quoted by People magazine as saying that Paris and her brother Prince are “very much in support of our film.”

Paris and Prince are Michael Jackson’s children. Paris Jackson was performing at the amfAR event, to which Domingo added: “I’m excited to be here at amfAR tonight with Paris. It feels like that’s a nice way for us to be together.”

People magazine also noted: “Domingo adds that Paris has been ‘lovely’ to him, and calls Prince ‘a man of the film.’”

Paris said: “I wasn’t involved at all, aside from giving feedback on the first draft and then getting the feedback that production was not actually going to address your notes at all.”

“So I just butted out and left it alone because it’s not my project,” she added. “They’re going to make whatever they’re going to make. A big reason why I haven’t said anything up until this point is because I know a lot of you guys are gonna be happy with it. A big section of the film panders to a very specific section of my dad’s fandom that still lives in the fantasy, and they’re gonna be happy with it.”

Michael stars Michael Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, in the title role.

Nia Long plays Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, while Miles Teller stars as entertainment lawyer John Branca.

The cast also includes Laura Harrier, Kat Graham, Larenz Tate and Derek Luke.

Michael is set for release on April 24, 2026 from Lionsgate.
