“It was just once that it became public,” Paris reveals to the magazine, also sharing that she had been ‘cutting herself’ at the time and hiding it from her family.

“It was just self-hatred, low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn’t do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore.”

Talking about MJ’s 2009 death, she blamed Dr Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, for getting her father hooked on anesthetic. “All arrows point” to Jackson having been murdered somehow, she said.

The interview quoted Paris as being adamant of being her father’s biological daughter and saying she considers herself black. “He is my father. He will always be my father. He never wasn’t, and he never will, not be. People that knew him really well say they see him in me, that it’s almost scary,” she said.
