Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson reveals impact of past drug use: ‘It ruined my life’ |
Paris Jackson, the 27-year-old daughter of the late pop icon Michael Jackson, has opened up like never before, about her past drug use and the physical effects it has had on her body. In a video shared on a TikTok fan page, she revealed that she suffers from a perforated septum, a condition caused by damage to the cartilage separating the nostrils. Showing the first-hand effects that drugs have had on her body, she said, “I realised I never addressed this and it can sometimes be very noticeable.”
Paris shares video of her ‘perforated septum’
Sharing a video of herself breathing through her nose, Paris explained, “I have a really loud whistle because you can hear it when I breathe through my nose, and that’s because I have what is called a perforated septum.”
‘Drugs ruined my life’
She then goes on to shine a light in her nostril to show the hollow cavity in her nose. Paris acknowledged, “It’s exactly where you think it’s from” and added, “Don’t do drugs, kids. Or do… I mean, everyone is going to have the experience they need to have with life. I’m not going to tell anyone what to do. I don’t recommend it because it ruined my life.”The singer revealed that she has lived with the condition since she was 20 years old, admitting it has been especially stressful during studio sessions.
No plastic surgery plans
Paris also shared that she has no plans to undergo plastic surgery to repair the damage saying, “You have to take pills when you do a surgery that gnarly. And I don’t want to f**k with that.”In January, Paris marked five years of sobriety in a heartfelt Instagram post, writing, “Hi, I’m PK and I’m an alcoholic and a heroin addict. Today marks 5 years clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol. To say that I’m thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface.”Reflecting on her transformation, she added, “It’s because I’m sober that I get to smile today. I get to make music. I get to feel heartbreak and joy. I get to laugh, dance, and trust. I feel the sun on my skin and it’s warm. Life keeps happening whether I’m sober or not — but today, I get to show up for it.”
