\n\tAs Michael Jackson fans flock to the theaters to see the Antoine Fuqua-helmed biopic about the \u2018King of Pop\u2019, many are questioning how the film avoids the child sexual abuse allegations against the artist.<\/p>\n
\n\tMichael<\/em> stars Colman Domingo and Nia Long, who play MJ\u2019s parents Joe and Katherine Jackson, recently explained why the movie doesn\u2019t dive into the accusations that started in 1993.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe film takes place from the \u201960s to 1988, so it does not go into the first allegations,\u201d explained Domingo on the Today<\/em> show. \u201cSo basically, we centered it on the makings of Michael. So, it\u2019s an intimate portrait of who Michael is \u2026 through his eyes. So, that\u2019s what it is, that\u2019s what this film is.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe actor continued, \u201cAnd there\u2019s a possibility of there being a part two that may deal with some other things that happened afterwards. This is about the making of Michael, how he was raised, and then how he was trying to find his voice as an artist and be a solo artist. That\u2019s what I have to say about that.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhen asked about the potential of exploring the allegations in another biopic about the later years of Jackson\u2019s life, Domingo noted, \u201cThere could be a sequel. We don\u2019t know yet.\u201d Long quipped, \u201cIf the price is right.<\/p>\n \n
