If you haven’t seen Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, in the last couple years you probably wouldn’t recognize her. She’s growing up and fast! She’s fourteen now and, from the looks of her Twitter account, really into music, but it’s the type of music that is worrying her grandmother (and Michael’s mom) Katherine Jackson.
As we recently shared with y’all, Ms. Paris is really digging her school’s cheerleading gig, and when she’s not working on her routines, she’s listening to music, and if you ask her grandma what type of music Paris likes, she’d most likely tell you it’s drugged-out music, this according to The National Enquirer.
Per the magazine:
Paris’ near-fixation with the late rockers KURT COBAIN and JIMI HENDRIX is said to be particularly upsetting to her grandmother KATHERINE.
The family matriarch has had custody of the 14-year-old wild child and her two brothers since their father MICHAEL’s drug overdose death in 2009, and sources say she’s now terrified the youngster might plunge into the nightmare world of substance abuse.
Paris has recently been tweeting incessantly about Cobain and Hendrix — who both died at age 27. Hendrix overdosed and drug-ravaged Cobain killed himself with a shotgun.
Both musicians paid homage to drug use in their songs, and in one tweet Paris wrote: “I pledge allegiance to…the rock legends of the world & to the rebellion, of which we stand, one nation…indivisible, with revenge & justice for all.”
Paris has been heard shouting in her school, “Kurt F***ing Cobain,” and “Jimi Hendrix rules,” a family friend said, and her locker is plastered with tributes to the pair.
“While Katherine knows Paris is a good girl, she fears the teen is growing up way too fast and doesn’t like her obsessing over those musicians,” the family friend said.
Psychiatrist Carole Lieberman, who’s not treated Paris but has closely followed the Jackson family, told The ENQUIRER: “Paris has had such a chaotic childhood. Her late father used to make her cover her face, and her mother has had nothing to do with her. These factors have to make her feel abandoned, which is reason enough for any child to be more vulnerable to temptations of drugs and rebellion.
“It’s well-known that Michael battled substance abuse for years, and Paris could have inherited his genetic and psychological predisposition to drug addiction. No one wants to see her suffer the same fate as her father.”
I follow Paris’ Twitter and she does refer to and quote music all the time but I did the same thing (and still do, ha) when I was her age. I went through a real dark period when I was in high school but nothing too serious and who doesn’t at some point? Her music isn’t what Katherine Jackson should be focusing on. Michael’s kids, just in their existence alone, have grown up in a very different situation than most and have had to deal with the tragic loss of their father at a very young age. Not to mention, the fame aspect. These kids need music as it can be an outlet, but they also need love and support. Also, remember that a lot of times when you try and change someone at that age, they’ll do the exact opposite, so just let it be.
Side note: As I was writing this post, Paris tweeted these lyrics:
and if a double-decker bus
crashes into us ,
to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
So she likes The Smiths I see. Well, she’s got great taste in music, that’s for sure!
