RIP to the GOAT!
After turning 18-year-old last year, we’ve seen Paris Jackson more in the public eye over the last 9 months, than her entire life. The native of Los Angeles sat-down this week with Rolling Stone Magazine for her first-ever in-depth interview. The piece centered on a variety of dark times in her life – including being sexually assaulted at the age of 14. Soon after, she tried to commit suicide, taking 20 Motrin pills and slitting her wrist, which she told the publication for the first time.
Unfortunately, she said there were other attempts during her early teenage years after her father’s death in 2009. After citing how she tried to grow up too fast, the daughter of the most famous entertainer of all-time told them that she believes her dad was indeed murdered.
Throughout the bombshell tell-all interview, Paris claims that there is a conspiracy surrounding the death of Michael Jackson – even revealing that the King use to fear for his life during her childhood.
Take a look at excerpts from the interview in full below.
Paris believing Mr. Jackson was murdered in 2009.
“It’s obvious. All arrows point to that. It sounds like a total conspiracy theory and it sounds like bullshit, but all real fans and everybody in the family knows it. It was a setup. It was bullshit. Of course I want justice. I definitely do, but it’s a chess game. And I am trying to play the chess game the right way. And that’s all I can say about that right now.”
How Michael handled child molestation charges in private.
“My dad would cry to me at night. Picture your parent crying to you about the world hating him for something he didn’t do. And for me, he was the only thing that mattered. To see my entire world in pain, I started to hate the world because of what they were doing to him. I’m like, ‘How can people be so mean? Sorry, I’m getting emotional.”
Addressing rumors whether or not Michael was her biological father.
“He is my father. He will always be my father. He never wasn’t, and he never will not be. People that knew him really well say they see him in me, that it’s almost scary. I consider myself black. He would look me in the eyes and he’d point his finger at me and he’d be like, ‘You’re black. Be proud of your roots.’ And I’d be like, ‘OK, he’s my dad, why would he lie to me?’ So I just believe what he told me. Cause, to my knowledge, he’s never lied to me.”
Being sexually assaulted by a complete stranger at the age of 14.
“I don’t wanna give too many details. But it was not a good experience at all, and it was really hard for me, and, at the time, I didn’t tell anybody.”
