Diana Ross Had ‘Zero Interest’ in Seeing ‘Michael’ Biopic, Icon ‘Lived That Story in Real Time’
Queen of Motown Diana Ross adored close pal Michael Jackson — but she wants nothing to do with the new blockbuster about the late King of Pop, sources say.
Insiders tell Straight Shuter that Diana has refused to watch the film Michael — starring MJ’s nephew Jaafar Jackson — and has kept her distance from the project from the very beginning.
“Diana has zero interest in seeing it — absolutely none,” one source says. “She lived that story in real time. She doesn’t need Hollywood rewriting it for her.”
Diana has remained notably absent as buzz around the film builds, and insiders say that is no accident.
Actress Kat Graham was cast to play the Supremes songbird in the movie — only for those scenes to be axed before its release reportedly over legal considerations, she revealed online, per Variety.
Another insider says Diana’s silence “speaks volumes” and adds, “When someone as central to Michael’s life is cut from the film, it tells you everything.”
In Hollywood, silence is rarely accidental — and when Diana Ross says nothing, insiders say that may be the loudest statement of all.
