BACKGRID
Paris Jackson clearly had better things to do than attend the “Michael” world premiere on Friday … like smoking a cigarette on the streets of L.A.
While most of Michael Jackson‘s famous family was celebrating the screening at the Uber Eats Music Hall in Berlin, Germany — including sons Prince and Bigi — his daughter notably skipped.
Instead of joining Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson and Jaafar Jackson on the red carpet, Paris was snapped on the streets of West Hollywood, chatting and sharing a cig with a friend.
It’s not much of a surprise that MJ’s daughter bailed on the biopic’s premiere … she’s been pretty public about the fact that she has some issues with the film.
A few months back, she called out Colman Domingo for saying she had helped on the film … noting there were things she thought were dishonest and “didn’t sit right” when she read the script. Turns out they had a miscommunication and have since cleared the air.
And while she and the acclaimed actor are cool now … Paris is still beefing with the executors of her dad’s estate, John Branca and John McClain.
She recently blamed Branca for the biopic’s “botched production” … saying his inexperience reportedly cost over $10 mil in reshoots.
The estate fired back, saying the executors have been “wildly successful” with previous MJ productions — including the Cirque du Soleil shows, concert documentary, and Broadway show.
It seems Paris won’t be changing her tune about “Michael” anytime soon.
