Katherine Jackson Appears Frail: Family Drama & Biopic Backlash
The Drama Continues: Paris Jackson Throws Shade at Upcoming Michael Jackson Biopic
In a shocking turn of events, Paris Jackson, 27, has thrown shade at the upcoming biopic about her late father's life. The young singer took to Instagram to set the record straight after actor Colman Domingo claimed that she was "very much in support" of the movie.
Paris's statement came as a surprise to fans and critics alike, who were expecting her to be involved in some capacity with the biopic. But according to sources close to the Jackson family, Paris had given her feedback on an early draft of the script and was not happy with the direction it was taking.
"It's not my project," Paris declared in a follow-up post, explaining that she had distanced herself from the movie after realizing that the producers were not going to address her concerns. "They're gonna make whatever they're gonna make," she said with a hint of frustration.
But what really got fans' attention was Paris's claim that the biopic is "not real" and that it's "sold to you as real, but it's fantasy land." She accused the producers of pandering to a specific section of her father's fandom and sugarcoating the narrative with inaccuracies and lies.
"It doesn't really fly with me," Paris stated boldly. "I don't really like dishonesty. I spoke up. I wasn't heard. I f*ed off."
The drama surrounding the biopic is just one of many controversies that have plagued Paris Jackson's life in recent months. The singer has been making headlines for her upcoming tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra, which will take place throughout the US and UK.
However, Paris faced backlash when it was announced that she would be performing on June 25, the anniversary of her father's death. In an Instagram post, Paris addressed the criticism, stating that as an opening act, she didn't have control over the tour dates.
"I guess one of the dates I'm supposed to be going out on tour happens to be June 25, which is a very negative anniversary for me in my life and my family," Paris explained. "So, what I guess I have to explain to these people is that when you're not headlining these shows, you don't pick what date you perform."
But what's really got fans talking is the news of Paris's split from her fiancé, Justin Long. The two had been together for a while before announcing their engagement last year.
As for Katherine Jackson, Michael's 95-year-old mother, she was spotted looking frail on Thursday during a rare outing in Los Angeles. The matriarch was seen being carted around the city's Thousand Oaks neighborhood by an aide and looked a bit worn out.
But despite her frail appearance, Katherine Jackson still has a lot of love for her family. In fact, sources close to the family say that she's been keeping busy with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who have been supporting her throughout her struggles.
As for Paris Jackson's drama-filled life, it seems like there's no end in sight. But one thing is certain: the young singer will always be true to herself, even if it means speaking up against the powers that be.
