Paris Jackson’s ‘Purpose’ Made Her Reveal Aftermath Of Drugs

While living a sober life, Paris Jackson has made it her mission to support others battling addiction, even if it means revealing her most vulnerable moments.

The daughter of the late pop icon Michael Jackson has remained an open book, candidly sharing her journey and the lessons she’s learned from her own struggles with addiction.

In addition to recently revealing the shocking damage it caused to her nostril, Jackson has now offered words of encouragement to others.

After revealing the lasting effects of her past, Jackson explained why she decided to share such a personal detail publicly. When The Shade Room reposted her viral video discussing her nasal defect on Instagram, Jackson took to the comments to clarify her intentions.

“To the people wondering why I shared this, it’s not for you as a recovering heroin/fentanyl/cocaine/alcohol/ etc addict,” Jackson wrote. It’s part of my primary purpose to carry the message of recovery to others struggling with it.”

She emphasized that her goal wasn’t to “promote it” but to raise awareness and offer hope to others on the same path and acknowledged that some might not understand her experience. 

Jackson concluded her message, adding, “It’s just a different life experience. I’d be grateful for that! Just know that this is for other people that are either also in recovery or haven’t found it yet. much love !”

Jackson first opened up about her condition earlier in the week, which The Blast reported. She posted a video saying that when she breathes through her nose, it makes a whistling sound because of a hole between her nostrils. 

The model held up a flashlight to her nose to show the damaged tissue, noting that her condition was noticeable in one of her previous videos, and she has been living like that for seven years. 

She then attributed the injury to her history of dealing with drugs, confessing it “ruined her life.” Jackson also used the opportunity to issue a warning to others, advising, “Don’t do drugs, kids.”

Being a beacon of light, the “Hit Your Knees” singer marked five years of being sober earlier in January, reflecting how much she had changed. 

As The Blast reported, Jackson opened up about the journey in an emotional video shared on her Instagram set to the song “Don’t Wake Me Up I’m Not Dreaming” by Past Lives.

The clip contained moments from her past showing her drinking, smoking, and visibly in distress, which then transitioned to her current life filled with joy, clarity, and gratitude. Some heartwarming scenes of her recovery showed Jackson proudly flaunting her sobriety coins and keychains marking each stage of progress.

In the caption, she emotionally wrote, “Today marks 5 years clean & sober from all drugs and alcohol. To say that l’m thankful would be a poor euphemism, [as] gratitude hardly scratches the surface. It’s because I’m sober that I get to smile today.”

As Jackson continues on her sobriety path, she has also been open about finding healing through her style choices.

In a recent interview, which The Blast reported, she explained that her clothing is more than just fashion; it reflects her emotional state and helps her make sense of her inner world. 

She recalled feeling “uncomfortable in her skin” and struggling with “unmanageable thoughts and feelings,” and decided that if she felt different, she might as well dress like it.

Although she often appears confident, Jackson admitted that she still wishes to have a positive relationship with her body, recognizing it as an ongoing part of her self-growth.
