Imagine that your dad was the biggest pop star in music history and he had tragically passed away 8 years ago, and then someone comes along and ridicules portrays him in a bizarre TV show. This is a reality for Paris Jackson.
The daughter of Michael Jackson has come out in shock after a trailer of Joseph Fiennes dressed up as the King of Pop was released overnight. She didn't mince her words, saying she was incredibly offended.
And it's easy to see why... he looks absolutely ridiculous. To add salt to the wound, Joseph Fiennes is white and Michael Jackson was a black man (though had a skin condition that made his appearance lighter).
There's now call for a boycott of the culturally insensitive video, which also stars Rupert Grint, Aidan Gillen, Iwan Rheon and Stockard Channing. Apparently it's part of a TV series about real celebrity stories:

Hopefully this trash can be taken off air, especially if it upsets the daughter of the man portrayed within it.
