Paris Jackson Slams Claims of Biopic Involvement: “Not My Monkeys, Not My Circus”

The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, has been making headlines for months, but now Paris Jackson is stepping in to set the record straight — and it’s not the glowing endorsement the filmmakers might have hoped for.

Oscar-nominated actor Coleman Domingo, who stars in the film, recently suggested that Paris had been “very helpful” in the production process. But according to Paris herself, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

In a candid post to her social media, the 26-year-old daughter of the King of Pop explained that her role in the project was virtually nonexistent. “I wasn’t involved in the production. I only read an early draft of the script,” Paris revealed. She went on to criticize the screenplay for containing “inaccuracies” about her father’s life and career.

Paris said that when she raised concerns, her feedback was brushed aside — leading her to walk away completely. Her parting words? A sharp, no-nonsense dismissal: “Not my monkeys, not my circus.”

Fans have rushed to support Paris, praising her for her honesty and applauding her decision not to lend her name to something she doesn’t believe in. Meanwhile, critics are now questioning just how much input the Jackson family truly had in the film — and whether the studio overstated their involvement to add credibility.

The biopic has already sparked controversy over its portrayal of Michael Jackson’s legacy, with some calling the project exploitative. Paris’s public disavowal only adds more fire to the growing debate.

As the release date looms, one thing is clear: the Jackson family’s relationship to this film is far more complicated than the studio would like audiences to believe.
