Marlon Jackson said he hasn’t been following the controversy closely, but he defended the upcoming Michael biopic as a family-oriented film meant to bring people together. He also praised Jaafar Jackson’s performance, calling him “unbelievable” and saying he was the only person who could have played Michael in the film.

What Marlon said

Marlon pushed back on Paris Jackson’s criticism without directly arguing with her, saying the family has ups and downs but usually learns to “agree to disagree” and move forward. He added that he stays away from controversy because his health is more important to him.

Why this matters

Paris had previously criticized the biopic as “sugar-coated” and full of “full-blown lies,” so Marlon’s comments add another public layer to the family divide around the film. The movie is set to hit theaters on April 24, and the debate around it is already building attention.
