Paris Jackson Skips 'Michael' Biopic Premiere After Slamming Film
Paris Jackson skipped the world premiere of "Michael," a new biopic about her late father Michael Jackson, on Friday. She was spotted smoking on the streets of Los Angeles while her famous family attended the screening.
Paris Jackson made her feelings clear by staying away from Friday's world premiere of "Michael," the new biopic about her father. While other Jackson family members celebrated at the screening, the 27-year-old was photographed smoking a cigarette on Los Angeles streets.
The snub comes after weeks of public criticism from Paris about the film. She slammed the movie after actor Colman Domingo, who plays her grandfather Joe Jackson, said Paris and her brother Prince were "very supportive of the film."
Paris fired back with harsh words, saying "not my monkeys, not my circus." She distanced herself from the project, claiming producers ignored her script notes about inaccuracies in how her father's life was portrayed.
The situation got tense enough that Paris and Domingo had to clear the air in a private conversation. Sources say they resolved their misunderstanding, but Paris clearly wasn't ready to publicly support the film at its big premiere.
This shows how celebrity biopics can split families when they feel misrepresented. Paris has publicly fought against what she sees as inaccuracies about her father's life reaching movie screens.
The "Michael" biopic hits theaters nationwide. Watch for more Jackson family reactions as the film gets wider release.
