Kat Graham says scenes as Diana Ross were cut from Michael for "legal considerations"
AV Club • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Certain scenes involving Diana Ross, filmed with a notable cast for the upcoming Michael Jackson film, were removed from the final cut due to legal considerations.
- The film's team worked diligently to retain as much of the story as possible despite these cuts.
- Diana Ross played a significant role in Michael Jackson's early career, with The Jackson 5's first album explicitly titled "Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5."
- While Ross and Jackson had a close personal and professional relationship, the narrative that Ross discovered the group is a fabrication.
- The Jackson family credits Gladys Knight with discovering the group, and she is featured in the film.
