Full of confidence at Fashion Week: Paris Jackson has recovered after mental problems

CelebritiesParis Jackson (23), daughter of the iconic Michael Jackson, has been spotted at Fashion Week in Paris. Paris was photographed in various outfits and foreign media are already full of praise for her appearance. After some mental problems, it seems as if Paris has finally recovered.

On Friday, Paris Jackson visited a Vogue exhibition in the city of love. For the occasion, the deceased singer’s daughter wore a jet black dress. The top of her outfit, a kind of shiny corset, fits perfectly with her rock ‘n roll image. The bottom of her dress, which was made of a kind of tulle, in turn represented her soft side. A day later, the model was spotted in a similar outfit. Then she attended Vivienne Westwood’s fashion show with Georgia May Jagger, daughter of rock legend Mick Jagger.

The presence of Paris Jackson was – since she is a model herself – not entirely unexpected, but the daughter of Michael Jackson also aspires to an acting and singing career. Her music style is completely different from that of her father. For example, Paris plays her songs, often written herself, on her guitar. In addition, the singer’s daughter also has a passion for art. It shares on Instagram with her more than 3.8 million followers.

Own way

The name of Paris Jackson certainly rings a bell, but as the daughter of Michael Jackson, the 23-year-old model had trouble finding her own way in the world. Last year, Paris revealed in a documentary that she feared she would live in her father’s shadow forever. That is why she has put her singing career on hold for a long time. Although her then boyfriend finally managed to convince her.

During her childhood, Paris not only felt insecure, but she also struggled with a series of mental problems. For example, she was abused – just like Paris Hilton – when she was at boarding school. “I experienced very similar things in that place,” Jackson said shortly after Paris Hilton’s testimony. Furthermore, her father, Michael Jackson, always dressed her as a ‘porcelain doll’. “I was his only daughter and he loved dressing me up even though he knew I hated it,” Paris said. “It was not good for my self-image.”

emotional pain

After the death of her father, she had to live with her grandmother. “I became addicted to food. It was my way of dealing with my emotions. But then one of my nieces suddenly told me I was fat, and I realized I should find another way. Then I started cutting myself. I never thought it could kill me because I was in control of the razor blade and I knew how deep I was going, I told myself.”

“I was constantly looking for my next dose of dopamine,” it sounded in a video blog last year. “I got that by cutting, but also by getting tattoos. Turning my emotional pain into physical pain made me feel like I was in control. But in the end it wasn’t enough anymore…”, she confessed. “Yes, I have tried to kill myself many times.” After one of her suicide attempts, Michael Jackson’s daughter spent two years in an institution for young people with mental difficulties.
