The daughter of iconic pop legend Paris Jackson has revealed she has received multiple death threats and hateful messages on social media.
The threats come after Paris decided not to host any public celebrations to mark what would have been her father Michael Jackson’s 66th birthday. Since his death in 2009, Michael has been the subject of conspiracy theories, with some fans convinced that the “King of Pop” is still alive and has simply decided to retire from public life.
Paris, known for her honesty and outspokenness, has repeatedly expressed her difficulty dealing with the expectations of her father’s fans, who insist that she keep his legacy alive in a specific way. However, this time, the pressure has reached a worrying level. On her social media, Paris explained that while she understands and appreciates the love of fans, her family chooses to remember her father in a private and meaningful way, adding that each person has their own way of dealing with the loss and remembrance of a loved one.
The threats have raised alarm among her fans, who have shown their support for her in the midst of this difficult situation. “It’s not fair that she has to face these things just because she didn’t celebrate a birthday publicly,” said one fan on Twitter. Many see the harassment towards Paris as a clear reminder of the extreme pressure faced by the children of public figures, especially when it comes to legends like Michael Jackson.
Amidst these difficulties, Paris continues to focus on her life and career, seeking a balance between honoring her father and staying true to her own values.
