Refusing to be silenced, Paris took to her platform on September 29, to clap back at her haters.
Is Michael Jackson Paris Jackson’s biological father?
Paris Jackson is Michael Jackson's biological daughter from his brief marriage to Debbie Rowe in the late 90s. So Paris has dealt with limelight all her life and has learnt to never stay silent when it comes to negative comments — something that also affected her dad.
Paris shared a makeup-free picture, declaring, "This is no filter, no makeup and regular lighting for the people that wrote really s***** comments about how old and haggard I look in my last video. I am literally 25. Just young and haggard, thank you very much”.
This isn't the first time Paris has stood up against online criticism.
Last month, in August, she addressed trolls who mocked her for "showing off" her armpit hair in an Instagram video tribute to her late father, Michael Jackson.
Paris made it clear that her actions were not about showcasing her armpit hair but were rather a tribute to her iconic dad.
“I’ve not shaved it for years and forget it’s there all the time. Get over yourselves.”
Paris signed off with the joke, “I was pulling my hair up to show my glass cutting jawline.”
Who got custody of Paris Jackson after Michael Jackson’s death?
In 2009, following the untimely death of Michael Jackson, legal custody of his children—Prince, Paris, and Blanket Jackson—was granted to his mother, Katherine Jackson.
Even after her father’s death, Paris has never missed a chance to pay tribute to her legendary father or ask his fans and followers to engage in activities meaningful to him.
Paris Jackson has faced harsh comments from trolls, including suggestions that she should harm herself if she doesn't post an annual message about her late father, Michael Jackson, on his birthday.
In a powerful birthday tribute clip, she revealed that her father disliked people celebrating his birthday.
Paris used the opportunity to redirect the focus to something meaningful, suggesting that fans who wanted to honor Michael Jackson's memory should engage in activities he cared deeply about, such as climate change or animal rights activism.
She wrote in a now expired Instagram story, “If you are an MJ superfan and you want to do something that he would have loved – which is not celebrate his birthday – my suggestion would be there’s always ways to get involved with raising awareness for climate change; doing stuff for the environment; animal rights activism – these were things he loved and was very, very interested in."
