Paris Jackson has claimed her superstar father was murdered as she revealed she tried to commit suicide multiple times after being raped as a teenager.The 18-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson opened up on her belief that his death was a 'setup' in a candid interview with Rolling Stone Magazine.
'He would drop hints about people being out to get him. And at some point he was like, 'They're gonna kill me one day',' Paris said.
It's obvious. All arrows point to that. It sounds like a total conspiracy theory and it sounds like bulls***, but all real fans and everybody in the family knows it. It was a setup. It was bulls***.'
Paris was just 11 when Jackson died from cardiac arrest in 2009 caused by a lethal combination of prescription drugs.
The pop star's personal physician Dr Conrad Murray was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison over his death.
Paris does blame Murray for her dad's death but believes something more sinister happened and she wants justice.
'I definitely do, but it's a chess game. And I am trying to play the chess game the right way. And that's all I can say about that right now,' she said.
Paris said her father was exhausted at the time of his death because he was prepping for his This Is It comeback tour.
Paris also revealed she was raped as a teen and opened up about her struggles with drug use and surviving 'multiple' suicide attempts.
She said a 'much older complete stranger' sexually assaulted her when she was just 14.
Paris spiraled into the depths of depression and drug addiction.
The teen tried to commit suicide several times and managed to hide her self harm injuries from her family for years.
Her self harm only became evident in 2013 when she was hospitalized over a suicide attempt and it became public.
'It was just self-hatred... low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn't do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore,' she said.
She said she was prescribed the same depression medications her dad once took, but added she is no longer on any medication.
Having been home-schooled when her father was alive, Paris said she didn't fit in to the private school she attended for the seventh grade.
'I was doing a lot of things that 13, 14, 15-year-olds shouldn't do,' she said. 'I tried to grow up too fast, and I wasn't really that kind of a person.'
Paris said she went to a therapeutic school in Utah after her last suicide attempt for her sophomore and part of junior years.
She said it changed her into a 'completely different person'.
'I was crazy. I was actually crazy. I was going through a lot of, like, teen angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help.'
Paris said she is now sober but does still smoke menthol cigarettes.
The teen, who is dating 26-year-old Michael Snoddy, says she now wants to make her own money despite being an heir to her father's fortune. She currently works as a model and has plans to get into acting.
