The episode is a tongue-in-cheek dramatisation of a rumoured road trip taken by Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando in 2001, after 9/11.
However, Jackson’s children were enraged by what they saw as the caricaturing of their father and his friend Taylor.
Sky have pulled the broadcast of an episode of their satirical series Urban Myths after Michael Jackson’s children said they were sickened and offended by the portrayal of their father, played by Joseph Fiennes.
Sky has always been keen to emphasise Urban Myths is a comedy, and not intended as a biopic.
