The Jackson family is at war and the world is watching!
A massive feud has broken out just weeks before the biggest movie of the decade hits theaters. The upcoming biopic titled Michael is finally coming out on April 24 2026. Fans have waited through three long delays to see this story. Now that the movie is finished the family is completely divided.
At a private screening in Los Angeles things got very heated. Jermaine Jackson and his mother Katherine were crying tears of joy. They loved every second. However Janet Jackson was not happy at all. Reports say she hated how the story was told.
Is Janet really jealous? Her fans say no way. She actually turned down millions of dollars to make her own movie. She did this because she did not want to take the spotlight away from her brother.

To understand why the family is so split you have to see what they saw during that screening. The secret lies in Jaafar Jackson. He is Jermaine’s son and he looks exactly like the King of Pop! People are calling his performance “genetic memory” because he moves just like his uncle.
Jaafar spent months working with vocal coaches and Michael’s original dancers to get every spin perfect. The makeup team even used special effects to show him aging from a young star to a global legend. Director Antoine Fuqua says Jaafar brought a special spirit to the set that no one else could.
