Paris Jackson, at 24, has faced a lifetime in the spotlight as the daughter of the iconic Michael Jackson. Following her father’s death, she struggled with various challenges but has now embarked on her own music career. In an interview with Naomi Campbell, she discussed her upbringing, emphasizing her father’s efforts to provide a well-rounded education beyond the glitz of fame.

Paris, born in 1998, experienced a private childhood on Michael’s Neverland Ranch, shielded from the public eye. Tragedy struck in 2009 when Michael Jackson passed away, leaving Paris and her brothers in the care of their grandmother, Katherine Jackson.

Paris faced personal struggles during adolescence, dealing with cyberbullying and attempting self-harm. Overcoming these challenges, she attended a therapeutic school in Utah, graduating high school a year early. Despite inheriting a billion-dollar legacy, Paris is determined to forge her own path in entertainment, echoing her father’s advice on earning success. She has delved into modeling and, in 2020, released her debut album, “Wilted,” showcasing an indie-folk sound distinct from her father’s pop and R&B influence. Through more than 50 tattoos, she pays tribute to Michael Jackson, feeling his presence in her life. Paris’s journey reflects resilience, independence, and a determination to break free from the shadows of fame.
