A shocking family rejection has clashed with a heartfelt birthday tribute from the set of the new Michael Jackson biopic. As filming came to an end, the entire cast and crew came together in a new video to wish the King of Pop a happy birthday. However, his daughter Paris’s public criticism of the film for excluding his family overshadows the celebration.
The video shows the actors and filmmakers expressing their love and respect for Michael’s legacy. They call it a project made with “great care.” Yet this heartfelt message comes just as Paris Jackson is making headlines for her strong reaction to the film, creating a major clash between Hollywood and the Jackson family.
