"Ahead of the April 24 release of the Michael Jackson film, I want to share that certain legal considerations affected a few scenes, including the ones I filmed with an incredible cast."
"Unfortunately, those moments are no longer part of the final cut, though the team worked hard to preserve as much of the story as possible."
"The film only follows Jackson's rise to fame through 1988 - it did not confront the child sex abuse allegations against him before his death in 2009."
Kat Graham, originally cast as Diana Ross in the Michael Jackson biopic, has been cut from the final version due to legal issues affecting her scenes. She expressed disappointment but acknowledged the team's efforts to maintain the story. The film, starring Jaafar Jackson as Michael, focuses on his rise to fame and excludes controversial elements, such as child abuse allegations. Janet Jackson declined to participate, and the film does not address her brother's complex relationships.
