Paris Jackson describes comedy portrayal of her father as ‘offensive’ and makes her ‘vomit'
The episode is no longer being broadcasted.

Paris Jackson, the daughter of late music icon Michael Jackson, has been called upon to support the boycott of Urban Myths, a programme featuring a comedy portrayal of her father.
The comedy featured Shakespeare In Love actor Joseph Fiennes as Michael Jackson. The plot consisted of a fictional car journey that the singer took alongside Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando, after 9/11.
Paris Jackson was asked what her opinion was and she revealed that the idea of the show made her want to 'vomit'.
As the first pictures emerged, many had begun criticising how Fiennes looked as the iconic Jackson.
After 20,000 people signed a petition calling for the programme to be axed, Sky has now taken the decision to do so and released the following statement:
"We have taken the decision not to broadcast Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon, a half-hour episode from the Sky Arts Urban Myths series, in light of the concerns expressed by Michael Jackson's immediate family.
"We set out to take a light-hearted look at reportedly true events and never intended to cause any offence. Joseph Fiennes fully supports our decision."
Eek. What do you reckon? Should the episode have been taken down?
