Paris Jackson speaks out, says how Michael Jackson actually was as a father

Modeling and music

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

In recent years, she’s been 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 a very therapeutic and natural thing. Many were shocked when her father transformed via his many plastic surgeries. But in this age of social media and cyberbullying, Paris understands his choice.

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

Through her Instagram page, Paris’s followers can see her life as she seems to like spending time with her friends, doing all the things in life she couldn’t really experience at a younger age.

Released her first album

In 2020, she followed in her father’s footsteps by releasing her debut album Wilted. She’s releasing music, but instead of the R&B and pop sound her dad was famous for, Paris Jackson released an indie-folk album.

“It’s mainly just a story of heartbreak and love, in general, and the thoughts and feelings that come after it doesn’t work out,” she told Paper.

Paris Jackson grew up with her father’s music, and she says she knows all the words to his songs. At the same time as she created her own sound, it’s inevitable that Michael Jackson’s taste in music influenced her.

“He loved classical music and jazz and Hip Hop and R&B and obviously the Motown stuff,” she says.
