Joseph Fiennes' Weird 'Urban Myths' Michael Jackson Episode Canceled Following Controversy

Sky Arts has pulled its controversial Michael Jackson episode in Urban Myths after the icon's family expressed their distaste of Joseph Fiennes' portrayal. "We have taken the decision not to broadcast Elizabeth, Michael & Marlon, a 30min episode from the Sky Arts Urban Myths series,” the U.K. network tweeted.

"This decision was taken in light of the concerns expressed by Michael Jackson’s immediate family," they continued. "We set out to take a light-hearted look at reportedly true events & never intended to cause any offense. Joseph Fiennes fully supports our decision.” The news follows Paris Jackson commenting on the "insulting" trailer of Fiennes playing MJ.
