Originally set to kick off in 1993 during the first big scandal, the film planned a whole third-act diving into how those allegations. Rocked his world, but producers hit a legal snag and had to scrap it all. Turns out, a settlement from one of the accusers, Jordan Chandler, bans any mention or depiction of him in movies.

Back in 1993, Jordan's dad Sue Jackson overclaims his 13-year-old son was molested after spilling to a shrink. Cops investigated, but found zero proof. Jackson settled financially in early 1994, but his team stressed it wasn't admitting guilt. Last summer, they shot a fresh ending, new third-act, and extra bits to fill gaps, causing the estate up to $15 million for missing that clause earlier.
