Paris Jackson made a deliberate choice to skip the world premiere of the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" in Berlin on Friday, opting instead for a casual evening in West Hollywood with a friend. While her brothers Prince and Bigi, along with other Jackson family members like Jackie and Jermaine, walked the red carpet at the Uber Eats Music Hall, Paris was photographed chatting and sharing a cigarette on the streets of Los Angeles.
This absence follows her previous public criticism of the film. Months earlier, Paris had disputed actor Colman Domingo's claim that she had contributed to the project, stating she found elements of the script dishonest and unsettling. Her decision to forgo the premiere underscores her ongoing reservations about the portrayal of her father's legacy.
"There were things that didn't sit right with me when I read the script," Paris had remarked, highlighting her concerns about the biopic's narrative.
The premiere proceeded without her, drawing a star-studded Jackson family presence, but Paris's notable absence speaks volumes about the internal family dynamics and her personal stance on the film's authenticity.
