Paris Jackson has been a superstar her entire life despite being only 24 years oldand the second child of the iconic musician Michael Jackson

 

Paris has experienced several difficulties since the death of her father But the gifted young lady is currently pursuing her own singing career

 

Despite the ups and downs in her life she has now made the decision to talk about her upbringing with her father known as the King of Pop

Few if any individuals are unaware of Michael Jacksons existenceI mean you dont get called the The King of Pop for nothing right But as much as we love his music the late singers life wasnt easy

Michael Jackson may be considered a product someone who was created from an early age to be an entertainer and vocalist That wont change the fact that his music dance and songwriting are all absolute masterpieces

 

The entire world grieved the musician when he went away in 2009 He had practically spent his whole life being pursued by paparazzi and tabloid media and not even when he was laid to rest for the final time was he exempt

Several media helicopters followed the helicopters delivering his body from the hospital in Los Angeles News about Michael Jackson and his family is still reported on all around the world today

Nowadays his family members receive the majority of the attention His kids in particular have come under attack since the Jackson family is a popular target for paparazzi

 

Paris Jackson the second child of Jackson has grown up in the public eye She is now making every effort to distinguish herself from Michael Jacksons child and become her own person

She has been suffering from mental illness for a number of years yet she is actually doing extremely well

 

On April 3 1998 in California Paris Jackson was born She is Michael Jacksons only daughter and his second kid

She and her brother were both homeschooled up until the sixth grade which made her early years quite private The kids were carefully protected from the public because Michael Jackson was keen on allowing them to maintain their seclusion The children in Michaels family were either wearing costumes or having their heads wrapped in scarves to conceal their faces in early photographs

As a result life on the Neverland Ranch was extremely constrained for Paris and her siblings No one can deny that they were immensely wealthy but it must have also been difficult

Speaking with supermodel Naomi Campbell in a YouTube interview Paris Jackson opened up about her father and what her upbringing was like

 

She said that Michael Jackson made sure that they were cultured

My dad was really good about making sure we were cultured making sure we were educated and not just showing us like the glitz and glam like hotel hopping fivestar places 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 shouldnt 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

Its earning it not just being entitled to certain things or thinking oh I got this she added Its like working for it working hard for it its something else entirely its 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 Michaels will

During her fathers televised memorial service the 11yearold 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 Jacksons 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 Jacksons private studio at the family compound which she transformed into a dormstyle 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 fathers legacy

I tried to grow up too fastUpon 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 didnt turn out perfect

I was doing a lot of things that 13 14 15yearolds shouldnt do I tried to grow up too fast and I wasnt 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 freedomofspeech thing is great she explained But I dont 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

Im 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 Jacksons billiondollar heritage and everyone saw her as a celebrity even though she actually hadnt done anything

Now though Jackson is heading in the same direction as her father the entertainment business Shes taken her fathers 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 Harpers 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 shes been on the covers of some of the worlds 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

Ive had selfesteem issues for a really really long time she said Plenty of people think Im ugly and plenty of people dont But theres a moment when Im modeling where I forget about my selfesteem issues and focus on what the photographers telling me  and I feel pretty And in that sense its selfish

Pariss Instagram followers can view her life as she appears to enjoy hanging out with her pals and enjoying all the things in life that she wasnt able to fully experience when she was younger

She released her debut album Wilted in 2020 following in her fathers musical footsteps Paris Jackson is doing music but her CD is indie folk rather than the RB and pop style for which her father was famous

Its mainly just a story of heartbreak and love in general and the thoughts and feelings that come after it doesnt work out she told Paper

Paris Jackson grew up with her fathers music and she says she knows all the words to his songs At the same time as she created her own sound its inevitable that Michael Jacksons taste in music influenced her

He loved classical music and jazz and Hip Hop and RB and obviously the Motown stuff she says

Paris Jackson has paid tribute to her father on her body acquiring more than 50 tattoos Nine of them are devoted to Michael Jackson

I feel him with me all the timeShe doesnt think that time heals and instead has learned to live with the tragic loss of her father

But at the same time Michael Jackson will always be with her as she recalls him visiting her in her dreams

I live life with the mentality of OK I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me she told Rolling Stone So going forward anything bad that happens cant be nearly as bad as what happened before So I can handle it

I feel him with me all the time

Everyone who has experienced parent loss may empathize with Paris and the pain that comes with it No one however has gone through childhood in the same way as Paris Jackson

Were overjoyed that she may now go about her business without being followed by paparazzi everywhere she goes Success Paris
