"I wasn't involved at all. Aside from like giving feedback on the first draft, and getting the feedback that like, yeah, we're not actually going to address your notes at all... I've left it alone, because it's not my project. They're going to make whatever they're going to make."
"A big reason why I haven't said anything up until this point is because I know a lot of you guys are going to be happy with it. The film panders to a very specific section of my dad's fandom, that still lives in the fantasy, and they're going to be happy with it."
"It's Hollywood. It's fantasy land. It's not real... The narrative is being controlled. There's a lot of inaccuracies, and just full-blown lies."
"At the end of the day, that doesn't really fly with me. I don't really like dishonesty. I spoke up, I wasn't heard, I fucked off. Y'all are gonna like the fucking movie. So just, go watch it, go enjoy it, do whatever, leave me out of it."
Paris Jackson clarified that she had no substantive involvement in the Antoine Fuqua Michael Jackson biopic beyond offering feedback on an early draft that was not addressed. She said she stepped away after her notes were ignored and emphasized that the project is not hers. Jackson criticized biopics as pandering to certain fandoms and called Hollywood a "fantasy land" that controls narratives, contains inaccuracies, and spreads falsehoods. She referenced other music biopic controversies and urged fans to watch the film if they wish but to leave her out of the conversation.
