We were completely shocked to find out that Michael’s 15-year-old daughter reportedly cut her wrists on June 5, attempting to commit suicide. Although family members are saying that it was because she wasn’t allowed to attend a concert, HollywoodLife.com can tell you EXCLUSIVELY that it goes much deeper than that.
Paris Jackson shockingly and tragically attempted to commit suicide on June 5. The 15-year-old might have been pushed over the edge because she wasn’t allowed to go to a Marilyn Manson concert, as Entertainment Tonight reported, but Paris’ problems and apparent struggles with depression are much more deep-seated.
Paris Jackson Suicide — Why She Did It
Paris is “still emotionally devastated from Michael Jackson’s death and the high amount of dysfunction in the family,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Michael obviously died suddenly in 2009, and the Jackson family has been anything but stable in the years since. Paris addressed the family’s dysfunction head-on in early May when she chose to move out of the home she shares with her grandmother, Katherine Jackson, and live with her birth mother, Debbie Rowe.
And before that in 2012, Michael’s siblings ambushed Katherine’s house in an attempt to separate Paris and the other grandchildren from Katherine. The chaotic confrontation ended with a physical fight between Paris and Janet Jackson.
On top of all of that, sources say, Paris is now having to deal with Wade Robson’s recent claim that her father sexually abused him — and in this social media age, she’s dealing with the hate from Twitter users: “The Twitter bullying she recieves and her father being brought back up in the news by Wade Robson’s claims has really thrown her in a tailspin,” a source says.
Paris Jackson: Crying For Help On Twitter?
It seems that Paris’ Twitter feed has been an unfortunate cry for help. On the social network, she has worn her emotions on her sleeve and shown definite signs of depression. “So done,” she tweeted on May 20.
Her tweets have only grown more downtrodden since, with messages that seem to indicate a broken relationship — “Love is dumb and so are you” and “don’t kiss someone one day if you plan on seeing someone else the next day” — along with more troubling cryptic tweets like, “Don’t listen to a word I say/the screams all sound the same” and “can’t satisfy anyone.”
Paris Jackson’s Jarring Video
And on May 31, Paris posted a video of herself doing her own makeup to YouTube. At the time she seemed refreshingly self-deprecating, saying things like “I’m not normal.” Those remarks are now much more concerning.
And ironically, the video has a dark, melancholy tone. In it Paris talks about using makeup that’s “deadly” and says, “imagine that on a tombstone,” and “dies while choking on makeup.”
Paris is obviously struggling with some deep issues and clearly living a very difficult life. We hope after this scary episode the ones who truly love her will help her get the help she needs and the love and attention she deserves.
