Just ahead of the Friday release of the Michael Jackson biopic “Michael,” a family member has taken gleeful aim at the media in a series of posts.

Taj Jackson, Michael’s nephew and the son of Jackson 5 member Tito, took to Twitter/X to jeer at the media writ large on Tuesday, saying it can no longer “control the narrative anymore of who Michael Jackson truly was. The public gets to watch this movie… they will decide for themselves,” before closing with: “And you can’t handle that.”
