It’s sort of insane to me, matters of taste aside, that they’d essentially completed the film without having double-checked to see whether they were legally permitted to depict certain aspects of Jackson’s life. Like, you’d imagine that would’ve been checked before the screenplay was even drafted.

This is like watching the Jeffrey Dahmer story but they don't talk about all the people he killed and ate.

The movie is being funded partially by the Jackson estate. Part of the settlement Jackson had with the victims was he could never profit off the allegations.

_BreadDenier Apr 7, 2026 +43

The MJ estate has been actively trying to scrub all abuse allegations from public consciousness.

It’s actually an accuser who demanded the changes

*Profit off the allegations*… oh man, Michael would be MAGA if he were still alive.

No he loved all nations no way in hell he would support that orange faced b****

Ikr. Especially since Michael has stated multiple times that he was proud to be Black.

Vitiligo is something you can research

Plenty-Body6685 Apr 7, 2026 +6

Vitiligo is something you cannot change. He did use cream tho to hurry up the whiteness cause he wouldve had spots all over his face/arms if he didn’t. One thing the cream does is making your skin look like its transparent.

Just because he took pics with Trump, doesn’t mean he was BFFs with him. Especially with everything Trump has said about Black people in general over the years.

_AmericasSweetheart_ Apr 7, 2026 +13

MJ was friends with Kathy Hilton and she's racist as shit.

There are prominent black celebrities who support Trump openly.

I disagree Dahmer is only known for his crimes so that's all people are interested in seeing. Jackson had a long career in the public eye before the allegations so there is enough material to fill a movie.

-4

Angelo-31 Apr 7, 2026 -8

jeffrey dahmer wasnt mainly known for music, michael jackson was, and most people only really care about the positive stuff

-8

luigiamarcella Apr 7, 2026 +5

Yeah the Dahmer comparison here is crazy. Don’t take this as me defending Jackson or the decisions made on this movie. But Dahmer is not known for anything other than his crimes. You literally couldn’t make a movie anyone would want to see about his life without that. Just an odd comparison. It would be more like making a Woody Allen biopic without the Farrow accusations.

5

Angelo-31 Apr 7, 2026 -1

from a marketing point though, nobody is lining up for a woody allen movie the same way they are for a movie about the king of pop

-1

luigiamarcella Apr 7, 2026

Yeah but they would line up for a Woody Allen movie before a movie about a random nobody living in Wisconsin just hanging out and not killing anyone.

RaisinWorried3528 Apr 7, 2026 +3

The positive stuff doesn't erase child endangerment and child abuse. Sure, maybe Michael never touched them, but he got in their heads and he changed who they were as children and who they were going to be as adults. He knew exactly what kind of power and privilege he had and he abused it. Michael Jackson is a f****** creep and it doesn't matter what he gave the world, he was a f****** creep. It's always the same people defending him too.

Stillwater-Scorp1381 Apr 7, 2026 +5

A biopic that omits factual events?! You’re kidding me…

5

Algae_Mission Apr 7, 2026 +34

You can’t make a movie about the life of Michael Jackson, however brilliant an entertainer and artist he was, without addressing the child molestation allegations that were made against him. That’s disingenuous. It would be like making a movie about Henry Ford or Charles Lindbergh without addressing their extensive antisemitism.

34

One_Froyo505 Apr 7, 2026 +2

These are serious accusations that have destroyed his life and beyond, but they must first be proven to historically substantiate them. A complete failure! For MJ fans, it's over to take this ridiculous media show for money seriously; how long it will take the rest to do so is debatable.

2

ilovebooks2468 Apr 7, 2026 +2

I'm also convinced Charles Lindbergh killed his own son

2

Algae_Mission Apr 7, 2026 +9

Personally, I don’t believe that, but yeah. Glossing over people’s lives is a disservice both to the people in question and to the people who were affected by them.

Eric Clapton moment

Sea2Chi Apr 7, 2026 +5

One thing I loved about the Weird Al movie is they joked about how they're probably just as accurate as other movies that follow famous musicians career's, they're just more open about making a lot of it up. I really hope nobody goes to see these types of movies expecting non-fiction. It's entertainment first and foremost as told by an extremely unreliable narrator who has an interest in portraying themselves in the best light possible.

EliteJoz Apr 7, 2026 +5

Sequels? I'm not even watching the first one who gives a shit about documenting someone's life if you're not gonna do it accurately?

account009988 Apr 7, 2026 +27

The movie made to rewrite his story. Those poor kids

simpleflavors1 Apr 7, 2026 +3

Why do we need sequels 🙄

VampireHunterAlex Apr 7, 2026 +6

What’s wild is that from the initial allegations to his death was 16 years (1993-2009), this June marks 17 years since he passed.

6

DarkMillSouth Apr 7, 2026 +5

The reason for the removal is interesting if true. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just a way for the Jackson estate to say they wanted to tell the full story but couldn’t legally. Either way I’m just happy it’s getting released soon so I can stop seeing the god awful trailer before every f****** movie I go to.

RedHeadedSicilian52 Apr 7, 2026 +4

No, it seems like they verifiably blew a bunch of money on unusable footage, verifiably prompting reshoots.

I’ve been disappointed before, I can just quietly judge people paying to see it.

PartyPaul-100 Apr 7, 2026 -8

Well let me ask you this why did the Chandlers sue him civilly if it wasn’t about the money? Like if someone is doing this to your child you keep fighting until you put that man under the jail

-8

Clayp2233 Apr 7, 2026 +10

A grown man slept in the same bed as little boys regularly and you’re still defending, pathetic. Civil is easier to win in court than criminal. He said she said won’t win in a criminal r*** case with MJs level of lawyers.

One_Froyo505 Apr 7, 2026 -2

Wait a minute, it was MJ's friends who defended him and called his behavior towards them innocent. As adults, of course. That was the public version and the version presented in court. Almost every plaintiff did that. It's easier to win in civil court, and the amount at stake is $613 million. It's pathetic to believe this media blackmail.

natasmit Apr 7, 2026 +5

in other words its a biopic that whitewashes reality. I think we are getting sick of lies and make believe propaganda. I will still dance to MJ at weddings though.

Character-Bottle7291 Apr 7, 2026 -2

To be fair, Michael “whitewashed” himself, so makes sense lol
