Kat Graham says her scenes as Diana Ross were removed from the Michael Jackson biopic Michael because of legal considerations.
The actress, who had been cast to play Ross in the film, explained on social media that “certain legal considerations” affected a few scenes, including the ones she filmed. She added that she was grateful for the experience and praised the cast and crew involved in the project.
Ross was an important figure in Jackson’s early career and personal life. The two appeared together in The Wiz, and Ross was closely associated with Jackson during his rise from child star to solo icon. Her absence from the movie has therefore drawn attention from fans and entertainment outlets.
