Make it all about his "king of pop" era before he bleached himself white and let the weird stuff out. This method would get criticized for ignoring the child abuse issue.
Include the child molestation issue... and I don't think there's any way this could be addressed tastefully. The biopic would have to take a stance on whether or not he was guilty (personally I think he was) and would be criticized by people who are on the other side of the issue.
Make it about his abusive childhood and use that as a vehicle to show how it messed him up as an adult. End it right as things were about to go off the rails, kinda like The Aviator.
