LaToya Jackson Says Sister Janet ‘Kindly Declined’ to Be Portrayed in ‘Michael’
- LaToya Jackson confirmed on Monday at the Hollywood premiere of 'Michael' that her sister Janet Jackson declined to participate or be portrayed in the biopic about their late brother, Michael Jackson.
- Janet's absence likely stems from a contentious relationship with the singer's estate, which has faced multiple allegations of fraud and abuse from her since 2009.
- LaToya gushed over their nephew Jaafar Jackson's performance at the Dolby Theatre, saying, "Oh my gosh, I have to tell you that Jaafar was absolutely fabulous."
- Michael's daughter, Paris Jackson, publicly criticized the film as inaccurate, writing on social media that the movie contains "full-blown lies" and panders to fans living in fantasy.
- The highly anticipated film debuts Friday in theatres worldwide, featuring appearances from family members who supported the production despite the ongoing public disagreements regarding the estate's control.
