Michael Jackson's biopic just BROKE records — it's officially the biggest music biopic of all time at over $911 MILLION worldwide, passing Bohemian Rhapsody. 👑 But here's what nobody's connecting: the movie was produced by John Branca and John McClain… the SAME estate executors Michael's daughter Paris is suing for mismanagement. So while the estate is printing record-breaking money off the King of Pop's legacy, Paris is in court accusing them of treating it like a "slush fund." Is she protecting her father… or is the estate right that this is all noise? Let's get into it.
Paris (27) already won a ruling forcing the estate to return $625,000 in questionable "bonus" payments — and that was just round one. Her broader lawsuit, filed back in November 2025, accuses Branca and McClain of mismanagement, alleges they pocketed more than $10 MILLION in 2021 alone (more than double what any beneficiary got), and questions what happened to $464 MILLION in the estate's cash reserves. The estate is firing back HARD — saying they turned $500 million in debt into a billion-dollar empire, that Paris has already received $65 million, and that her team is just staging "tabloid photo ops." And that fight is FAR from over — there's a court deadline looming this September.
So — Team Paris or Team Estate? Drop your verdict 👇
