The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael has the approval of his estate and will even star his own nephew, Jaafar Jackson, but according to a new report, it’ll also mark the very first time any estate-affiliated project will address Jackson’s allegations of sexual misconduct — albeit in such a way to cast doubt on his accusers.
According to Puck News’ Matthew Belloni, who obtained an early script of the biopic, the film is quite flattering of Jackson and “wants very much to convince you Michael is innocent.” To that end, it addresses the controversies very directly, even beginning with a depiction of Jackson being raided by police in the aftermath of Jordan Chandler’s allegations in 1993.
As Belloni describes it, the script for Michael — which may be far from the finished product, he noted — goes to “great lengths to minimize and downplay the actual claims and eviscerate the Chandlers.

Gavin Arvizo spent his early teens accusing Michael Jackson of molesting him — and trying to refute defense attorneys who said he, his brother and his mother were liars. But the experience may not have soured him on the legal system.
Arvizo, now in his late 20s, is thinking about going to law school, said Louise Palanker, who has known him since childhood. She says the HBO documentary “Leaving Neverland” won’t lure him out of the private life he has sought since the 2005 trial. He has eschewed countless requests for interviews, and the money that would no doubt come from speaking out.
“He doesn’t really want to talk about it right now,” Palanker said. “He just wants to become a man and have a family and a career and not have this be the standout portion of who he is.”
