Paris Jackson, navigating her unconventional path as a model, singer, and actress, is increasingly under the spotlight due to her extraordinary lifestyle.
Her revelations about childhood and the challenging period following her father's death never fail to evoke emotions, offering a glimpse into the kind of father the King of Pop was to his children.
Paris grappled with a deep spiral of depression after the artist's death in 2009 when she was just 11 years old. However, in the latest episode of the YouTube series "No Filter With Naomi," where she was interviewed by Naomi Campbell, Paris shared insights into the joyous aspects of her childhood with the iconic singer of "Billie Jean."
The second daughter of the pop legend, born to dermatology assistant Debbie Rowe, described how her father encouraged the children to earn privileges through their own efforts. "It's about earning it, not just having the right to certain things or thinking that I have it. It is basically working to achieve it, and striving for and for it. The result is something completely different; it is an achievement," Paris explained.
During the interview, she revealed a unique approach to obtaining toys: "If my brothers and I wanted five toys from FAO Schwarz or Toys 'R' Us, we had to read five books." Paris emphasized her father's commitment to ensuring they were cultured and educated individuals, exposing them not only to luxury but also to the diverse realities of the world, including visits to third-world countries.
Addressing the oft-questioned love story of her parents, Paris shared the narrative she was told about her conception: "I was conceived in Paris, from what they have told me, which is one reason for my name, Paris. I was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew up everywhere." However, for the wider American public, her conception had a less romantic twist, as her biological mother, Debbie Rowe, stated that she had been artificially inseminated and never had relations with Michael Jackson.
When asked by Campbell if Michael Jackson had indeed provided a happy childhood for his children, Paris responded without hesitation: "Yes, he did. He had his doubts that it was possible. He told us that he had no childhood and that he spent most of the day stuck in the studio singing while all the kids were playing. And he wanted us to have that."
