Paris Jackson is setting the record straight following comments made by actor Colman Domingo about her alleged support for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael.
Earlier this week, Domingo — who portrays Joe Jackson, the father of the late pop icon — shared with People that Paris and her brother Prince Jackson were “very much in support of our film.” He added that he had a brief conversation with Paris and described her as “nothing but lovely and warm.”
However, Paris Jackson quickly took to Instagram to clarify her position, directly addressing Domingo’s remarks. “Don’t be telling people I was ‘helpful’ on the set of a movie I had zero percent involvement in lol that is so weird,” she wrote in a pointed Instagram Story post.
Paris’ comments sparked immediate reactions online, with many fans and followers questioning how her name became publicly associated with the film if she wasn’t consulted or involved in any way. Her statement makes it clear that she not only had no role in the making of the biopic but also didn’t offer any endorsement — contradicting Domingo’s earlier claims.
While it’s unclear whether there was a misunderstanding between the two or a misinterpretation of their interaction, Paris’ swift response emphasizes the importance of consent and accurate representation, especially when it comes to a subject as personal and sensitive as her late father’s legacy.
The biopic, titled Michael, is slated for release in spring 2026 and stars Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson’s nephew, in the lead role. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and produced by Graham King, the film is expected to chronicle the highs and lows of Jackson’s life and career. While the project has been met with both anticipation and scrutiny, it’s now clear that Michael Jackson’s children are not officially involved.
Colman Domingo has not publicly responded to Paris Jackson’s statement as of yet.
In the age of biopics and legacy storytelling, Paris’ reaction underscores a broader conversation about the role of family members in the portrayal of public figures, and the fine line between admiration and assumption.
