Lionsgate is producing a Michael Jackson biopic starring his nephew, Jafar Jackson, which reportedly glosses over child sex abuse allegations. The film focuses on Jackson's ascent to superstardom through 1984, leading to protests from survivors and criticism from the director of "Leaving Neverland." Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, has also condemned the film for perceived inaccuracies.

Following the broadcast of a Michael Jackson documentary in the Netherlands, several radio stations and DJs have announced they will stop playing his music. This move is characterized as a classic radio promotion tactic used to generate publicity for station call letters rather than a sincere moral stance. The boycott's logic is questioned, particularly regarding the impact on collaborators like Quincy Jones.
