www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting:

This has been echoed by family members and press outlets noting she chose not to participate, though the film proceeded with other family support.[3][7]
- Public appearances around the Michael biopic have continued, but Janet has not been featured in the movie itself, according to statements from relatives and the production team.[7][3]
- Media coverage in 2025–2026 emphasizes that Janet’s absence is a deliberate decision by her, and that the filmmakers sought family involvement, with Janet opting out.[3][7]
