The producers of the ‘Urban Myth,’  a comedic series featuring a White man starring as Michael Jackson, finally listened.

Paris Jackson expressed via social media that the decision to feature a White man as her father made her sick.

The team wrote in response on their Twitter:

We have taken the decision not to broadcast “Elizabeth, Michael & Marlon,” a 30 minute episode from the Sky ArtsUrban Myths series. This decision was taken in light of the concerns expressed by Michael Jackson’s immediate family. We set out to take a lighthearted look at reportedly true events and never intended to cause any offense. Joseph Fiennes fully supports our decision.

Good riddance.
