Paris Jackson reflects on sobriety ahead of sixth anniversary free from drugs and alcohol

by

Paris Jackson, the only daughter of the late Michael Jackson, has been sharing her experiences with staying sober, marking almost six years without using drugs or alcohol.

A 27-year-old with a large social media following—and famous parents—shared on Saturday that getting sober doesn’t automatically fix all of life’s problems.

Things became incredibly difficult for a long time, and I felt unprepared to deal with it. I had to accept life as it was and learn to adjust.

Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, known as Jackson, revealed she battles with serious depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and complex PTSD, all linked to years of harassment by the paparazzi.

The socialite, originally from Beverly Hills, expressed her frustration with severe depression that hasn’t responded to treatment, as well as complex post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, calling them all incredibly difficult to deal with.

If you’re going through a difficult time, please know you’re not the only one. Stay strong, and if you haven’t heard it today, I want you to know that I love you.

According to Page Six, Paris Jackson received treatment for substance abuse and after attempting suicide multiple times while living at Diamond Ranch Academy in Utah between the ages of 15 and 16.

On Saturday, an ambassador for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation shared a glimpse of her pets – three cats and two dogs – on Instagram Stories, playfully noting that being single allows her to adopt as many animals as she desires.

Most households in Los Angeles County can have up to three dogs and three cats without needing a special permit.

Although Jackson identifies as pansexual, her publicly known romantic relationships have all been with men, including Justin Long, Michael Bradley, Gabriel Glenn, Michael Snoddy, Chester Castellaw, and Tom Kilbey.

According to Page Six, the actress who appears on “Doctor Odyssey” earns $8 million a year, plus additional bonuses at ages 18, 33, and 40, funded by a $100 million inheritance. However, a recent court document filed on October 14th states she has actually received $65 million in benefits.

Paris Jackson is currently suing the people managing her late father’s estate – John Branca and John McClain – alleging they took $148.2 million improperly by 2021. The next court date in the case is January 13th.

The young woman, who has many tattoos, has also spoken out against the official Michael Jackson biopic produced by Lionsgate, which features her cousin Jaafar Jackson in the lead role.

Last August, Jackson criticized Antoine Fuqua’s two-part film – which cost $155 million to make and was released in the US and UK on April 24th – saying it contained many inaccuracies and outright falsehoods.

A musician who jokingly calls himself an average Thom Yorke imitator will be featured in the documentary Michael Jackson: A Celebration, coming to US cinemas in June.

Jackson has several acting projects on the horizon, including the dramas One Spoon of Chocolate directed by RZA and Street Smart by Catherine Hardwicke, the horror thriller Open Wounds from Ronald Krauss, and the comedies Skinemax directed by Adam Sigal and Toad by Adam Rifkin.

Though still embodying the free spirit of the 1960s, this individual has become a popular social media personality, collaborating with brands and luxury hotels such as Zadig&Voltaire, Baglioni Hotels & Resorts, Corinthia Hotels, Dorothea Hotel, and The New York EDITION.

Paris Jackson, who doesn’t often appear in photos with her mother Debbie Rowe, was just 11 years old when the 13-time Grammy Award winner Michael Jackson died in 2009 at age 50 from a dangerous combination of medications.
