Jackson Family Eyeing ‘Michael’ Sequel Diving Into Allegations: ‘That’s Where the Money Is’

The hotly anticipated and highly whitewashed Michael Jackson biopic has been a monster hit, earning the family a fortune. Now, sources tell the National Enquirer‘s Rob Shuter that the Jacksons are locked in an intense behind-the-scenes battle over whether to air Michael’s dirty laundry in a big-bucks sequel!

“A lot of Michael’s family members would sell him out tomorrow if they thought the money was big enough,” one insider claimed, according to Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack. “The only people stopping that from happening are his mom, Katherine, and his kids.”

Insiders point out the biopic deliberately concludes before the most controversial period of the Gloved One’s life — when he faced child sexual abuse allegations during his final years.

The current film, Michael, ends on a carefully controlled high note: Jackson’s triumphant 1988 Bad Tour performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.

The screen fades to black with the words, “His Story Continues,” paving the way for Part 2.

“That was intentional,” a source says. “The movie avoids the ugliest chapters because Katherine and his children still have influence and control.”

But a source says a sequel is almost ludicrous without delving into the history of sordid abuse allegations against the King of Pop, the 1993 civil suit filed by the family of 13-year-old Jordan Chandler and settled for more than $18 million, and the 1994 criminal investigation that was later closed.

Sources say matriarch Katherine Jackson remains fiercely protective of the legacy of her son, who died in 2009 at age 50 from an accidental anesthetic overdose.

Meanwhile, Michael’s three children — Prince, 29, Paris, 28, and 24-year-old Bigi Jackson — are all determined to preserve their dad’s image.

But family insiders say the story is different for extended Jackson family members who don’t have the same access to Michael’s estimated $789 million estate.

“If Katherine and the kids were no longer standing in the way, there are family members who would absolutely participate in a second movie that told everything — because that’s where the money is,” another source reveals.

As the Enquirer previously reported, Paris has blasted the film, leading to a confrontation with Michael’s brother, her uncle Jermaine, whose son Jaafar plays the “Thriller” singer in the film.

“This is finally our opportunity,” Jermaine reportedly told his niece. “We must ride the wave.”
