On Sunday, while hosting the amfAR benefit gala for Aids research at Venice film festival, Domingo told People magazine that Paris and her brother Prince were “very much in support of our film”.

That doesn't really sound like "criticism".

I'm not sure why OP didn't quote better. The subtitle:

2026 film Michael ‘panders to a very specific section of my dad’s fandom that still lives in the fantasy’

And later

“Don’t be telling people I was ‘helpful’ on the set of a movie I had zero per cent involvement in lol that is so weird,” the 27-year-old singer and actor wrote.

“I read one of the first drafts of the script and gave my notes about what was dishonest / didn’t sit right with me, and when they didn’t address it, I moved on with my life.

“Not my monkeys, not my circus. God bless and God speed.”

That does sound like criticism to me.

Edit: and to me the most interesting part of the article was this:

A big reason why I haven’t said anything up until this point is because I know a lot of you guys are gonna be happy with it.

She finds herself in a unique situation.
