Paris Jackson, daughter of late pop legend Michael Jackson, has opened up about her long battle with substance abuse and her journey toward recovery.
Speaking on the podcast Trying Not to Die, the 26-year-old model and musician revealed that overcoming addiction was not just about quitting drugs, but about rediscovering her true identity and rebuilding her life from the ground up.
She explained that alcohol and drug use significantly altered her personality, leading her to behave in ways she now deeply regrets. According to her, the experience made her feel disconnected from the values and manners she was raised with.
“I became morally ugly,” she said, describing how addiction impacted her behavior and mental state during her lowest moments.
Paris Jackson also shared that her recovery process was not straightforward, noting that she had to undergo rehabilitation multiple times before she was finally able to break free from the cycle of addiction.
She emphasized that her healing journey involved not only medical treatment but also personal reflection and emotional growth, which ultimately helped her regain control of her life.
Her candid revelation has since sparked conversations about addiction, mental health, and the importance of seeking help without shame, especially among young people in the public eye.
