Diana Ross will no longer appear in “Michael” due to “certain legal considerations,” according to Kat Graham, who was hired to play the legendary Supremes singer in the upcoming music biopic about Michael Jackson.

“Ahead of the April 24 release of the Michael Jackson film, I want to share that certain legal considerations affected a few scenes, including the ones I filmed with an incredible cast,” Graham posted Thursday morning on social media. “Unfortunately, those moments are no longer part of the final cut, though the team worked hard to preserve as much of the story as possible.”
