Sky axes Michael Jackson TV episode after Paris Jackson slams preview

Sky has axed a television show about the late music icon Michael Jackson after his daughter Paris Jackson expressed disgust at the portrayal of him by actor Joseph Fiennes. 

The TV company announced its decision to axe this particular episode of the series 'Urban Myths' after Paris tweeted: "I'm so incredibly offended by it, as i'm sure plenty of people are as well, and it honestly makes me want to vomit."

A statement from Sky confirms: "We have taken the decision not to broadcast 'Elizabeth, Michael and Marlon', a half hour episode from the Sky Arts 'Urban Myths' series, in light of the concerns expressed by Michael Jackson's immediate family."

Paris Jackson also tweeted: "It angers me to see how obviously intentional it was for them to be this insulting, not just towards my father, but my godmother Liz as well. Where is the respect? They worked through blood sweat and tears for ages to create such profound and remarkable legacies. Shameful portrayal.
