In a raw and heart-wrenching interview, Paris Jackson, daughter of the late King of Pop, has revealed the dark truth behind the headlines — opening up about her battles with addiction, trauma, and multiple suicide attempts that followed her father’s death.
Now 18, Paris sat down with Rolling Stone to share the emotional scars she’s carried for years. Beneath the fame and fortune, she was silently falling apart.
“I tried to commit suicide several times,” she confessed, referencing the 2013 incident where she attempted to take her life by slitting her wrists.
But as shocking as that was to the public, Paris says it wasn’t the only time.
A Life Shattered by Loss
Since Michael Jackson’s sudden death in 2009, Paris says she’s been haunted by grief and loneliness.
“They always say time heals, but it really doesn’t. You just end up getting used to it,” she said.
“I lost the one thing that mattered most to me.”
Her words are raw. Real. And painfully relatable for anyone who’s ever faced deep personal loss.
Childhood Trauma Revealed
In the same interview, Paris also revealed that she was sexually assaulted by a stranger at just 14 years old — a trauma she had kept hidden until now. It was one of many dark moments that sent her spiraling into depression and substance abuse.
A New Chapter of Healing
Despite her turbulent past, Paris is now focused on healing and using her voice to raise awareness about mental health and survival. Her bravery in speaking out is already inspiring others to do the same.
“I feel [my dad] with me all the time,” she said softly.
Paris Jackson’s story is not one of tragedy — it’s one of survival, strength, and hope.
