“It’s earning it, not just being entitled to certain things or thinking ‘oh I got this’. It’s like working for it, working hard for it, it’s something else entirely, it’s an accomplishment.”
Back in 2010, a young Paris Jackson opened up to Oprah about her childhood at Neverland, reflecting on her father’s role in her life. “I kind of felt like no one understood what a good father he was, he was the best cook ever. He was just a normal dad.”
She also fondly recalled, “He made the best French toast in the world.”
As she entered seventh grade, Paris transitioned to a private school, where she started spending time with much older friends. This had a significant impact on her, leading her down a difficult path. “I was doing a lot of things that 13-, 14-, 15-year-olds shouldn’t do. I tried to grow up too fast, and I wasn’t really that nice of a person,” she admitted in an interview with Rolling Stone.
However, Paris has come a long way since then. Now thriving in both music and modeling, she has built a successful career for herself. After graduating high school in 2015, she has been following in her father’s footsteps. With such a legendary legacy to uphold, the challenge is great, but she’s certainly heading in the right direction.

Several major magazines were thrilled to feature this remarkable woman on their covers. However, she has faced personal struggles with her appearance. “I’ve had self-esteem issues for a really, really long time,” she shared with Rolling Stone. “Plenty of people think I’m ugly, and plenty of people don’t. But when I’m modeling, there’s a moment where I stop worrying about my insecurities and just focus on what the photographer is telling me—and in that moment, I feel beautiful. In a way, it’s selfish.”
Even though many years have passed since Michael Jackson’s death, Paris still feels his absence every single day. She has several tattoos dedicated to him and believes his presence is always with her. “I live life with the mentality of ‘OK, I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me,’” she told Rolling Stone. “So going forward, anything bad that happens can’t be nearly as bad as what happened before. So I can handle it.”
We couldn’t be happier for Paris!
