“I feel him around me all the time.”
“From the moment I was born, Dad was the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to tell him I love him so much.” These were the words then eleven-year-old Paris Jackson spoke at the funeral of the person who meant the world to her, her father.
Losing a father at this age is heartbreaking. For Paris and her brothers, this meant that all eyes were now on them. Suddenly every magazine wanted a piece of Michael Jackson through them and they got incredible media attention. Michael cared a lot about their privacy and now they found themselves in the spotlight.
It is sad to lose a father at such a young age. It meant that everyone’s attention was now focused on Paris and her brothers. They suddenly attracted huge media interest as everyone wanted a piece of Michael Jackson through them. Michael was very protective of their privacy, but now they were in the public eye.
When he died, his mother, Katherine Jackson, the children’s grandmother, was given legal custody of his children. Paris stayed with her until her 19th birthday, when she returned to the family compound, converting her father’s private studio into a dormitory-style bedroom.
Paris, who turned 23 on April 3, opened up about Michael Jackson in a recent interview with Naomi Campbell that was uploaded to YouTube. She talked about her modeling career, latest record, and upbringing, among other things.
Wilted, an indie-folk record, was released by a young musician and model. Paris explained to Paper that her music was influenced by her late father’s music. “It’s mainly just a story about heartbreak and love in general and the thoughts and feelings that come after it doesn’t work out,” she continued. No doubt she inherited his talent.
“My dad was really good at making sure we were cultured, that we were educated, and not just showing us the glitz and glam, like hotel hopping, five-star places,” Paris noted.
“We also saw everything, that was another thing. Third-world countries were seen. We observed the whole spectrum.
Paris went on to say that despite being the King of Pop and extremely rich, Michael Jackson didn’t give his kids everything they wanted. Instead, they were taught early on that they had to work for what they wanted.
“Even when I was growing up, it was about making money,” she noted. “We had to read five novels if we wanted five toys from FAO Schwarz or Toys ‘R’ Us.
It’s about earning it, not just thinking you deserve or are entitled to something. It’s like working hard for it; it’s like working for something completely different; it’s like achieving something.”
In 2010, when she was still a young girl, a young Paris opened up to Oprah about her Neverland upbringing, saying, “I felt like no one realized what a great parent he was, he was the best cook ever. just an ordinary father.
Paris said, “He made the best French toast in the world.”
Paris began hanging out with friends who were significantly older than her when she was in seventh grade at a private school. This set off a lot of events that made her head spin. “I engaged in a number of activities not suitable for 13-, 14- and 15-year-olds. She admitted to Rolling Stone: “I tried to grow up too quickly and it was not very pleasant from a person.
But now she is a completely different person. She is very successful in what she does and is pursuing a career in both music and modeling. Paris graduated high school in 2015 and is now following in her father’s footsteps. He’s got huge shoes to fill, but he’s headed in the right direction.
Many prestigious magazines were pleased to include this amazing woman on their covers. However, she struggled with how she looked. “I’ve had self-esteem issues for a really, really long time,” she told Rolling Stone. “A lot of people and a lot of people don’t think I’m ugly. But there came a time when I was modeling where I put my self-esteem issues aside and paid attention to what the photographer was saying – and I felt beautiful, in that sense, it is also selfish.
Gone but not forgotten, the spirit of Michael Jackson permeates his daughter’s life. She navigates the world with a deep understanding of the fragility of life and the depth of her own power. “I live life with the mentality of ‘OK, I’ve lost the only thing that’s ever mattered to me,'” he admits, emphasizing his resilience in the face of adversity.
In every note she sings, in every scene she graces, and in every interview she offers, Paris Jackson comes across as a world-famous personality in her own right. Echoes of her father’s melodies blend with the cadence of her own voice, a harmony resonating with authenticity and a tribute to the enduring strength of family, love, and the pursuit of individuality.
We are excited about Paris.
