The Michael Jackson<\/a> estate reportedly shelled out millions to cut any mention of child molestation accusations in the end of “Michael” … and because of it, they now own a stake in the film.<\/p>\n The late singer’s estate is estimated to have coughed up between $10M and $15M to complete “necessary” reshoots for the movie, according to Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The publication reports the biopic was <\/a>originally supposed to explore the impact that child molestation accusations had on Jackson’s life … but now there’s not even a mention of the accusations, because of a clause in a settlement with one of Jackson’s accusers. Jordan Chandler reportedly barred<\/a> the mention of him in any movie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, instead of ending with the King of Pop’s biggest trials and tribulations, the film now reportedly ends with Jackson on top, at the height of his career.<\/p>\n As we reported … the late legend\u2019s nephew Jaafar Jackson<\/a> plays the titular role. While <\/a>his performance has been praised<\/a> by many, Michael’s daughter, Paris Jackson<\/a>, has voiced her concerns<\/a> about the movie as a whole.<\/p>\n Play video content<\/p>\n Lionsgate<\/p>\n Paris filed legal documents accusing estate executors —\u00a0John Branca<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0John McClain<\/a>\u00a0— of totally botching the production of the movie … and allegedly making excessive legal payments to third-party law firms. The estate\u00a0fought back<\/a>\u00a0by insisting the payments were standard for the industry … while also making clear they’ve made the estate billions.<\/p>\n The film — opening April 24 — is directed by\u00a0Antoine Fuqua, and also stars\u00a0Miles Teller<\/a>\u00a0as attorney\u00a0John Branca<\/a>,\u00a0Colman Domingo<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0Joe Jackson<\/a>,\u00a0Nia Long<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0Katherine Jackson<\/a>,\u00a0Jessica Sula\u00a0as\u00a0LaToya Jackson<\/a>,\u00a0Larenz Tate<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0Berry Gordy<\/a>, and\u00a0Kat Graham<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0Diana Ross<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Jackson’s Estate Paid Roughly $10M to Reshoot ‘Michael’ Biopic Ending Published April 7, 2026 9:51 AM PDT…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":588600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":["post-588599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=588599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/588599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/588600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=588599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=588599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=588599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Jaafar-Jackson-as-michael-jackson-sub-lionsgate-1\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8054de599a8944e695b09fb7be6fbeb1_md.jpg\")
