A key agreement in a massive settlement was reportedly overlooked while vetting the script, leaving producers scrambling to do rewrites and reshoots.

"Michael," starring Jaafar Jackson, faces controversy over its depiction of abuse allegations and a $23 million settlement.

Reportedly, part of the biopic focuses on the 1993 investigation after Jordan Chandler claimed Jackson sexually abused him at age 13, which the singer denied. Jackson and the Chandler family settled the case at the time and allegedly a deal has since been signed that prevents it from being used in any movie by the estate.
