  "summary": "Jaafar Jackson, the son of the late Michael Jackson, has revealed that the upcoming sequel to the biopic about his father will address the child abuse allegations that have plagued Jackson throughout his career. According to Stereogum, the original plan was to include a story arc that would explore the allegations from Jackson's perspective, but this was ultimately scrapped due to legal constraints. The producers had already filmed the entire third arc, which depicted Jackson as the victim of the lawsuit filed by Jordan Chandler in 1993, but lawyers discovered that the settlement forbade Jackson and his estate from including the Chandler family in a movie.",
