Paris Jackson has said she doesn’t want to be “performative” by paying tribute to her late father, Michael, online, saying it’s “no one’s business”.
The model, actor and singer, 28, is the second child of the late King Of Pop and his second wife, Debbie Rowe. Paris was just 11 years old when Michael died from a cardiac arrest in 2009, aged 50.
She has opened up about grief, music and growing up in the spotlight on the latest episode of Jack Osbourne’s Trying Not to Die podcast, where the pair discussed the impact of losing their fathers.
At one point in the conversation, Jack – whose father Ozzy died last July, aged 76 – asked Paris if she’d ever struggled with deciding how public or private she wanted her adult life to be.
“There’s definitely a certain element where I felt I had to share everything, and I felt like I owed it to people, because I do believe that is the impression I was given of like, ‘You owe this to us’,” she replied.
