Rare Photos Share a Glimpse Into Michael Jackson’s Private Life Before King of Pop’s Sudden Death

Images obtained by the National Enquirer give a glimpse into Michael Jackson‘s secret life that critics say was ignored by producers of the late King of Pop’s recently released biopic.

The flick Michael grossed over $217 million worldwide during its opening weekend — despite receiving negative reviews. However, sources say the movie’s ongoing success could be threatened by the bombshell revelation that key events and photographic evidence of MJ’s past never made it to the silver screen.

While officially billed as an “honest portrayal of the brilliant and complicated” artist, some have bashed the film as a whitewash job about the singer, who died in 2009 at age 50 from an accidental anesthetic overdose.

“The movie conveniently ends during his 1988 Bad Tour — before any of the [child molestation] allegations surfaced,” a source tells the National Enquirer. “They didn’t have to touch the abuse issue. Not at all. Zero!”

Many moments from Michael’s life are not depicted in the movie but were captured on camera in real life, including the hitmaker sleeping in his hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

During his lifetime, Michael vehemently denied all allegations of abuse that were lodged against him — and in a 2005 criminal trial, he was acquitted of all charges, including four counts of child molestation.

“The movie cuts short his life,” gripes the source. But even if there is a Part 2, the insider predicts the photos cited — which are all filed away in the National Enquirer‘s legendary vault — “will never be shown” in a movie.

The source further tells the National Enquirer that the film originally ended with the lights of a patrol car flashing outside of Neverland as the “Billie Jean” singer solemnly stared into a mirror — a reference to the first accusations of abuse and a subsequent police raid in 1993.

Sources say director Antoine Fuqua pocketed an extra $15 million and producer Graham King earned an extra $10 million from Michael’s estate to overhaul the movie and ax the third act, which was devoted to the scandal.

According to the insider, Jordan Chandler — the 13-year-old boy at the center of the 1993 child sexual abuse allegations against MJ — was initially mentioned, which was a no-no due to an agreement made in conjunction with a $23 million out-of-court settlement he and his family received from Jackson in 1994.

“So nothing was mentioned — or shown,” the insider said of the finished film, which counts John Branca and John McClain — the executors of Michael’s vast estate — as coproducers.

But according to the source, there’s even more drama behind the scenes as Michael’s 28-year-old daughter, Paris, and his sister Janet, 60, have criticized the film — even though it had the blessing of the Jackson estate and stars Michael’s nephew Jaafar, 29, in the title role.

Both Janet and Paris were absent from the film’s premieres. Sources say Paris wishes all the best for her cousin and the cast, but she has also accused the film of sugarcoating the truth about her father.

A source says that has created “a lot of tension” between Paris and her brothers, Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24, and says, “The toxic feud is tearing them apart!”
