Overview
- In a new Entertainment Tonight interview, Jackson confirmed they have spoken and said she appreciated his outreach because things can be miscommunicated.
- She added that she is wishing Domingo and her cousin Jaafar Jackson success and hopes the film’s message is “love and light.”
- Earlier this week, Domingo told the Wall Street Journal he direct-messaged Jackson, saying his prior comments about the Jackson children’s support were taken out of context and expressing hope she appreciates the tribute.
- The dispute began after reports last year that Paris and Prince were “helpful” to the production, which Paris rejected while noting she only gave early script notes that were not adopted.
- The biopic is slated for an April 24 theatrical release with Jaafar Jackson as Michael and Domingo as Joe, and NME reports the date follows a delay after reported reshoots while rumors of a two-part release were unfounded.
