For years, “King of Pop” Michael Jackson‘s life played out under an intense public spotlight and scrutiny, and so did his passing.

However, he was quite particular about protecting his children’s privacy, making sure they got to spend their childhood away from the glare of the flashbulbs.

Now, 17 years after the artist’s demise, his daughter Paris Jackson, 28, has offered a rare glimpse into how she and her siblings, Prince and Bigi (formerly Blanket), were brought up.

Highlights

  • Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, recently opened up about her childhood and that of her two brothers at Neverland Ranch.
  • An insider previously claimed that Paris had grown close to the family that accused her father of child predation in recent years.
  • Paris also opened up about her struggle with substance use, paparazzi exposure, and her breakup with Justin Long.

Paris, who has followed her father’s footsteps into the music industry, also explained why they used to wear face coverings when they stepped out with him as kids.

“Strict and structured upbringing, no wonder they’re grounded and respectful,” one netizen commented about her revelations.

Prince, Paris, and Bigi spent much of their childhood at Michael Jackson’s famous Neverland Ranch, named after the fictional island from Peter Pan, which he bought in 1988 for about $20-30 million.

He later installed an amusement park and a petting zoo in the estate, and frequently opened it up for youth groups and disadvantaged children.

Speaking on the August 12 episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Paris opened up about her father, whom she called her “best friend,” and being homeschooled at Neverland.

“I’d wake up, and I’d go to … the room that was our classroom, and we would go to school,” she said.

They were expected to do their chores and complete their homework on weekdays, and only then were they allowed to “have fun” on the weekends.

“It was the same thing with television,” she added. “We weren’t allowed to watch television or movies unless we were studying it for film with the sound off or on the weekends if we’d done everything we were supposed to.”

Paris continued that they were also not allowed to play in the amusement park.

“It was made very, very clear that all of the attractions there were not for us … that did not belong to us,” she continued. “That was for underprivileged children and children that were terminally ill that couldn’t go to, like, Disneyland.”

After Jackson’s passing on June 25, 2009, due to a cardiac arrest stemming from substance intoxication, the three siblings were taken into the care of their grandmother, Katherine, and cousin, Tito Joe.

The pop icon’s demise was later ruled a homicide, and his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, spent two years in jail for administering lethal doses of the anesthetic propofol and sedative lorazepam.

Revisiting the memory on Call Her Daddy, she said, “It kind of just happened in the moment. It was kind of like…it happened on stage.”

As for processing the grief on a personal level, Paris said she found it “rough,” and the transition was a “crash course in gaining social skills.”

Jackson’s last few years on earth were plagued by the infamous child predation charges, accused of violating four children of the Cascio family. He was acquitted in 2005.

Although Paris had previously labeled the allegations as “lies,” she has grown close to the family and believes the alleged victims, according to insiders.
