Paris Jackson is refuting recent 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, Italy, Colman was quoted exclusively 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 Jackson responded on her Instagram story to People’s article by distancing herself from the movie and Domingo. She wrote: “[Colman], don’t be telling people I was ‘helpful’ on the set of a movie I had 0% involvement in lol. That is so weird. I read one of the first drafts of the script and gave my notes about what was dishonest [and] didn’t sit right with me and when they didn’t address it I moved on with my life. Not my monkeys, not my circus. God bless and godspeed.”
Variety reached out to Domingo’s representative for additional comment.
“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 currently set for release on April 24, 2026 from Lionsgate.
