Paris claimed the co-executors used estate money to invest in risky entertainment projects, such as the Michael biopic, which is scheduled for wide release on April 24.

Jackson's middle child — who earlier this month — said it’s 'troubling' to her that John Branca and John McClain used estate funds to finance most if not all of the film’s $150 million budget, calling it a 'botched production.'

Paris questioned Branca's decision to cast Top Gun: Maverick star Miles Teller as himself in the biopic, saying it’s 'unclear how this peculiar and presumably costly casting decision will result in commensurate box office receipts.'

The singer and model pointed out that Branca's lack of experience as a film producer 'may be the root of reports that the estate has had to fund tens of millions of dollars in reshoots after the terms of a well-known settlement agreement prevented the production from using substantial amounts of footage already shot.'

But lawyers for the estate said Paris and her legal team have 'either not been paying attention over the past several years or simply want to object for objections’ sake.'

Estate lawyers said Paris (pictured on March 11) and her legal team 'seem far more interested in playing media games by making headline-grabbing, yet false, accusations'

Lawyers for Jackson's estate have responded, telling TMZ that Paris' protests are 'without merit' (the singer is pictured in 1988)

Paris called the Michael biopic - which stars her cousin Jaafar Jackson as the pop star - a 'botched production'

The singer and model questioned co-executor John Branca's decision to cast Top Gun: Maverick star Miles Teller as himself in the movie (Teller is seen in a still from the film)

'Ms. Jackson and her attorneys are once again abusing the courts and the legal system by making a series of false allegations as part of a media campaign to distract from their legal setbacks and the inherent weakness of their case,' attorney Jonathan Steinsapir told the outlet. 

'The executors have been meticulous and conscientious in every decision that they have made.'

Steinsapir said, 'Ms Jackson has already received roughly $65 million in benefits and stands to inherit many hundreds of millions more.

'This is from an estate that was $500 million in debt and facing bankruptcy at the time of Michael's death, but was turned by the executors into a business generating billions in revenue.'
