Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson’s only daughter, has finally spoken out after 20 years of silence. And our suspicions were right…

Paris Jackson has been a superstar her entire life despite being just 24 years old and the second daughter of iconic musician Michael Jackson.

Paris has been through a lot of hardships since her father’s death, but the talented young woman is currently pursuing her own singing career.

Despite the ups and downs of his life, he has now made the decision to open up about his upbringing with his father, known as the “King of Pop.”

Few people, if any, are unaware of Michael Jackson’s existence. I mean, they don’t call you the “King of Pop” for nothing, right? But as much as we love his music, the late singer’s life wasn’t easy.

Michael Jackson can be considered a product, someone who was created from a very early age to be an artist and a vocalist. That won’t change the fact that his music, his dancing and his compositions are absolute masterpieces.

The entire world mourned the musician when he passed away in 2009. He had spent virtually his entire life being hounded by paparazzi and tabloid media, and even when he was buried for the last time he was not spared.

Several media helicopters followed the helicopters carrying his body from the hospital in Los Angeles. News about Michael Jackson and his family continues to spread around the world today.

Today, his family members receive most of the attention. His children, in particular, have been targeted, as the Jackson family is a popular target for paparazzi.

Paris Jackson, Jackson’s second daughter, has grown up in the public eye and is now doing everything she can to differentiate herself from Michael Jackson’s daughter and become an independent person.

She has been suffering from mental illness for several years, but is actually doing very well.

On April 3, 1998, in California, Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson’s only daughter and second child, was born.

She and her brother were home-schooled until the sixth grade, making their early years quite private. The children were carefully shielded from the public because Michael Jackson was willing to allow them to maintain their seclusion. Children in Michael’s family wore costumes or had their heads wrapped in scarves to hide their faces in early photographs.

As a result, life at Neverland Ranch was extremely limited for Paris and her siblings. No one can deny that they were immensely wealthy, but it must have been difficult, too.

In a YouTube interview with supermodel Naomi Campbell, Paris Jackson spoke about her father and what her upbringing was like.

She said Michael Jackson made sure they were “cultured.”

“My father made sure we were cultured, that we were educated, and not just showing us the glitz and glamour, like the five-star hotels,” Paris said.

“It was also like we saw everything. We saw third-world countries. We saw every part of the spectrum.”

Paris Jackson lived all over the world during her childhood days, as her father toured across the globe to play in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

She says she was very grateful about her “privileged” childhood. But at the same time, Paris learned early on that she shouldn’t feel entitled. Her father made sure that the children understood the concept of having to put in work in order to get things.

“Even growing up it was about earning stuff,” Paris said. “If we wanted five toys from FAO Schwarz or Toys ‘R’ Us, we had to read five books.

“It’s earning it, not just being entitled to certain things or thinking ‘oh I got this’,” she added. “It’s like working for it, working hard for it, it’s something else entirely, it’s an accomplishment.”

Paris was only 11 years old when her father passed away.

On June 25, 2009, “The King of Pop” suffered cardiac arrest at his home and passed away shortly after being transported to a nearby hospital. Paris and her brothers ended up in the legal care of their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, as per Michael’s will.

During her father’s televised memorial service, the 11-year-old Paris stood in front of the whole world to say a few words about her father.

“Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,” she said. “And I just wanted to say I love him so much.”

Paris and her brothers, Prince Michael, 12, and Prince Michael II, 7, were all in attendance during the televised memorial service. In fact, that was pretty much the first time the world caught more than just a glimpse of Jackson’s children.

Then, in January 2010, they were once again were seen in public while accepting a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award for their father at the 2010 Grammy Awards.

In November the same year, Paris appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show to speak about her father, saying that he was amazing.

“I kind of felt like no one understood what a good father he was, he was the best cook ever,” she told Winfrey. “He was just a normal dad.”

“He made the best French toast in the world,” Paris added.

When Michael Jackson passed away, Paris Jackson moved into a mansion in Calabasas, California, with her grandmother Katherine Jackson, as well as other members of her family, according to The Daily Mail.

When she turned 19, she decided to move into Michael Jackson’s private studio at the family compound, which she transformed into a dorm-style bedroom.

Losing your father is hard as it is. But for Paris, it was much more than that. All of a sudden, she was expected to carry on her father’s legacy.

“I tried to grow up too fast”Upon starting seventh grade, Paris decided to attend a private school. At this point, the only ones accepting her for who she was were the older kids, and it didn’t turn out perfect.

“I was doing a lot of things that 13-, 14-, 15-year-olds shouldn’t do. I tried to grow up too fast, and I wasn’t really that nice of a person,” she told Rolling Stone.

Around the same time, social media had become a thing, and Paris faced cyberbullying.

“The whole freedom-of-speech thing is great,” she explained. “But I don’t think that our Founding Fathers predicted social media when they created all of these amendments and stuff.”

Paris went through a lot of trauma as a teenager. She even tried taking her own life following a very serious incident, but that was also somewhat of a turning point.

She spent her sophomore year, as well as half her junior year, at a therapeutic school in Utah, which was great for her.

“I’m a completely different person,” she said. “I was crazy. I was actually crazy, I was going through a lot of, like, teen angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help.”

Paris graduated high school in 2015 – one year early – but by this point, she had a lot on her mind. She was one of the heirs of Michel Jackson’s billion-dollar heritage, and everyone saw her as a celebrity, even though she actually hadn’t done anything.

Now, though, Jackson is heading in the same direction as her father: the entertainment business. She’s taken her father’s advice seriously: if you want something, you have to put in work to get it. During the Naomi Campbell interview, Paris stated that she was a “full believer” that she should earn her own success.

For someone born into ridiculous wealth, as the child of one of the most famous people in modern history, this is something we truly adore Paris for. No matter what has happened in her past or who her father is, she wants to do her own thing.

She grew up around only adults except for her siblings. When she left Neverland to go to a real school, it was a big change for her. She grew up as the child of Michael Jackson, but for her, the world was more than that. And in the beginning, it sure was hard.

“Once I got introduced into the real world, I was shocked. It blew me away,” Paris told Harper’s Bazaar. “Not just because it was sexist, but misogynist and racist and cruel. It was scary as hell. And it still is really scary.”

So what did Paris do? Well, she went her own way, starting out working as a model. And she has a real talent for it!

In recent years, she’s been on the covers of some of the world’s most influential magazines, including Rolling Stone, Vogue and Narcisse to name a few.

For Paris, modeling is a very therapeutic and natural thing. Many were shocked when her father transformed via his many plastic surgeries. But in this age of social media and cyberbullying, Paris understands his choice.

“I’ve had self-esteem issues for a really, really long time,” she said. “Plenty of people think I’m ugly, and plenty of people don’t. But there’s a moment when I’m modeling where I forget about my self-esteem issues and focus on what the photographer’s telling me – and I feel pretty. And in that sense, it’s selfish.”

Los seguidores de Paris en Instagram pueden ver su vida mientras ella parece disfrutar salir con sus amigos y disfrutar de todas las cosas de la vida que no pudo experimentar plenamente cuando era más joven.

En 2020 lanzó su álbum debut Wilted, siguiendo los pasos musicales de su padre. Paris Jackson se dedica a la música, pero su CD es de indie folk en lugar del estilo R&B y pop por el que su padre era famoso.

“Es principalmente una historia de desamor y amor en general, y de los pensamientos y sentimientos que surgen cuando algo no funciona”, dijo a Paper.

Paris Jackson creció con la música de su padre y dice que conoce todas las letras de sus canciones. Al mismo tiempo que creó su propio sonido, es inevitable que el gusto musical de Michael Jackson la haya influenciado.

“Le encantaba la música clásica, el jazz, el hip hop, el R&B y, obviamente, el estilo Motown”, afirma.

Paris Jackson ha rendido homenaje a su padre en su cuerpo, haciéndose más de 50 tatuajes. Nueve de ellos están dedicados a Michael Jackson.

“Lo siento conmigo todo el tiempo” Ella no cree que el tiempo cure y en cambio ha aprendido a vivir con la trágica pérdida de su padre.

Pero al mismo tiempo, Michael Jackson siempre estará con ella, ya que lo recuerda visitándola en sus sueños.

“Vivo la vida con la mentalidad de ‘OK, perdí lo único que siempre fue importante para mí’”, le dijo a Rolling Stone. “Así que, de ahora en adelante, cualquier cosa mala que suceda no puede ser tan mala como lo que sucedió antes. Así que puedo manejarlo.

“Lo siento conmigo todo el tiempo”.

Cualquiera que haya sufrido la pérdida de un padre puede empatizar con Paris y el dolor que ello conlleva. Sin embargo, nadie ha vivido la infancia de la misma manera que Paris Jackson.

Estamos encantados de que ahora pueda dedicarse a sus asuntos sin que los paparazzi la sigan a donde quiera que vaya. ¡Éxito, París!
