Michael Jacksonās Daughter Breaks Her Silence: āMy Dad Used toā¦ā
For years, Paris Jackson has remained largely private about her father, the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson. But in a recent emotional interview, Paris opened up in a rare moment of vulnerability, offering fans a glimpse into the deeply personal side of her iconic father that few ever got to see.
āMy dad used to wake us up with music blasting through the house,ā she recalled with a soft smile. āIt didnāt matter what day it wasāMonday, Saturday, holidaysāhe believed every morning was a gift, and he wanted us to feel it. Stevie Wonder, James Brown, classical music⦠heād dance down the hallway like it was a stage.ā
Itās an image thatās both heartwarming and nostalgic. For many, Michael Jackson is remembered as the worldās most electrifying performer, a global superstar who transformed the music industry. But to Paris, he was simply āDadāāa loving, whimsical, and protective father who made even the ordinary feel magical.
Now 26, Paris Jackson has forged her own identity as a model, actress, and musician. But the shadow of her fatherās fame has always loomed large. In her interview, she admitted it hasnāt been easy.
āIāve dealt with a lot of pressure growing up,ā she said. āEveryone had an opinion about who I should be. But the truth is, my dad never wanted us to feel that pressure. He used to say, āYou donāt owe the world anything. You owe it to yourself to be happy and honest.āā
She paused, then added, āThat stuck with me more than anything.ā
The emotional weight of her fatherās legacy has often come with intense public scrutiny. From tabloid rumors to conspiracy theories, Paris has weathered it all with grace. But she says her father prepared her for this, in his own gentle way.
āHe taught me not to judge people based on what the world says. He said, āThey donāt know your heart. They donāt know your truth.āā
Paris revealed that Michael instilled in her and her brothers the importance of kindness and empathy. āHe used to take us to visit hospitals and orphanagesāwithout the cameras, without any press. It wasnāt about image. He genuinely cared.ā
Despite his fame, Michael Jackson worked hard to give his children as normal a childhood as possible. Paris recalls spending afternoons playing in the backyard, movie nights with popcorn, and learning about different cultures and philosophies from the books he read with them.
āHe was incredibly intelligent,ā Paris said. āHe didnāt just want us to see the worldāhe wanted us to understand it.ā
But the loss of her father at just 11 years old left a profound hole in her heart. āI still miss him every day,ā she admitted quietly. āThere are moments when I hear his voice in my headāreminding me to stay strong, to keep going.ā
Her recent decision to speak out wasnāt about fame or headlinesāit was about healing.
āI think Iām finally at a place where I can talk about him without breaking,ā she shared. āHe wasnāt perfectāno one isābut he loved deeply. And I want people to know that.ā
In her music, her activism, and the quiet way she carries herself, Paris continues to honor her fatherās legacyānot as the King of Pop, but as the man who loved to laugh, dance barefoot in the kitchen, and remind his children every day that they were loved.
As she put it: āThe world saw him as a legend. I saw him as my hero.ā
