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 talk about his upbringing with his father, known as the “King of Pop.”

Few, if any, people 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 practically his entire life being hounded by paparazzi and tabloids, and even when he was buried for the last time he was not exempt.

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

These days, her family members get most of the attention. Her 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 her own person.

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

On April 3, 1998, in California, Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson’s only daughter and second son, 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 would wear costumes or have 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 talked about her father and what her upbringing was like.

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

“My father made sure that we were cultured, that we were educated, and not just showing us the glitz and glamour, like 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, while her father traveled the globe to play in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

Paris says she was very grateful for having had a “privileged” childhood, but at the same time, she learned from a young age not to feel entitled to anything. Her father made sure the children understood the concept of working hard to achieve things.

“Even when we were kids, it was all about making money,” Paris said. “If we wanted five toys from FAO Schwarz or Toys ‘R’ Us, we had to read five books.

“It’s about earning it, not just being entitled to certain things or thinking ‘oh, I have it all,’” he added. “It’s like working for it, working hard for it, it’s a completely different thing, it’s an achievement.”

Paris was only 11 years old when her father died.

On June 25, 2009, “The King of Pop” suffered a cardiac arrest at his home and died shortly after being transported to a nearby hospital. Paris and her siblings were placed under the legal care of their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, according to Michael’s will.

During her father’s televised funeral, 11-year-old Paris stood up in front of the entire world to say a few words about her father

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

Paris and her brothers, Prince Michael, 12, and Prince Michael II, 7, were present during the televised memorial service. In fact, it was practically the first time the world got to see more than a glimpse of Jackson’s children.

Then, in January 2010, they were seen in public again while accepting a posthumous lifetime achievement award for their father at the 2010 Grammy Awards.

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

“I felt like nobody understood what a great father he was, he was the best cook in the world,” he told Winfrey. “He was just a normal dad.”

“She 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 in the family compound, which she transformed into a dorm-style bedroom.

Losing a parent is hard, but for Paris it was much more than that. Suddenly, she was expected to carry on her father’s legacy.

“I tried to grow up too fast” When she started seventh grade, Paris decided to attend a private school. At the time, the only people who accepted her as she was were the older kids, and it didn’t turn out perfectly.

Around the same time, social media had become mainstream and Paris was experiencing cyberbullying.

“The whole free speech thing is great,” he explained. “But I don’t think our Founding Fathers foresaw the existence of social media when they created all these amendments and stuff.”

Paris went through a lot of trauma as a teenager. She even attempted suicide after a very serious incident, but that was also a turning point.

She spent her sophomore year, as well as half of 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 really crazy, I was going through a lot of teenage angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help.”

Paris graduated from high school in 2015, a year early, but by then she already had a lot on her mind. She was one of the heirs to Michael Jackson’s multimillion-dollar estate and was seen as a celebrity by everyone, even though she hadn’t actually done anything.

Now, however, Jackson is headed in the same direction as her father: show business. She has taken her father’s advice to heart: if you want something, you have to work for it. During the interview with Naomi Campbell, Paris said she was “fully convinced” that she had to earn her own success.

For someone who was born into a larger-than-life family, the daughter of one of the most famous people in modern history, this is something we truly adore Paris for. No matter what happened in her past or who her father is, she wants to do what she wants.

She grew up surrounded only by 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 Michael Jackson’s daughter, but for her, the world was more than that. And at first, it was definitely hard.

“When I was introduced to the real world, I was shocked. I was stunned,” Paris told Harper’s Bazaar. “Not just because he was sexist, but misogynistic and racist and cruel. He was so scary. And he’s still so scary.”

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

In recent years, she has appeared 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 something very therapeutic and natural. Many were surprised when her father transformed himself thanks to his numerous plastic surgeries. But in this age of social media and cyberbullying, Paris understands his choice.

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

Paris’ Instagram followers get a glimpse into her life as she appears to enjoy hanging out with her friends and enjoying all the things in life that she didn’t get to fully experience when she was younger.

In 2020, she released her debut album Wilted, following in her father’s musical footsteps. Paris Jackson is a music major, but her CD is indie folk rather than the R&B and pop style her father was famous for.

“It’s mostly a story about heartbreak and love in general, and the thoughts and feelings that come up when something doesn’t work out,” she told Paper.

Paris Jackson grew up with her father’s music and says she knows all the lyrics to his songs. While she created her own sound, it’s inevitable that Michael Jackson’s musical taste influenced her.

“He loved classical music, jazz, hip hop, R&B and obviously Motown,” she says.

Paris Jackson has paid tribute to her father on her body, getting more than 50 tattoos. Nine of them are dedicated to Michael Jackson.

“I feel it with me all the time” She doesn’t believe 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 remembers him visiting her in her dreams.

“I live life with the mindset of, ‘OK, I lost the one thing that was ever important to me,’” he told Rolling Stone. “So, from now on, whatever bad thing happens can’t be as bad as what happened before. So I can handle it.”

“I feel it with me all the time.”

Anyone who has suffered the loss of a parent can empathize with Paris and the pain that comes with it. However, no one has experienced childhood the same way Paris Jackson has.

We are delighted that she can now go about her business without the paparazzi following her wherever she goes. Good luck, Paris!
