Paris Jackson, the daughter of the late pop icon Michael Jackson, has opened up about her long battle with drug addiction and how she finally saved her life.
Speaking on a podcast, Trying Not to Die, the 26-year-old model and musician stated that her journey to staying clean was about finding her true self again, rather than just stopping using drugs.
She said that alcohol and substance abuse completely altered her personality, making her behave in ways she is not proud of today.
“I became morally ugly,” she said, noting that the habits made her lose the good manners she was raised with.
The pop star’s daughter also noted that she had to go to rehabilitation centres multiple times for professional treatment before she could finally break free from the deadly cycle.
Jackson stated that choosing to stay clean has helped her to understand herself better and put an end to her destructive lifestyle.
She added that she is now celebrating six years of complete sobriety, describing the milestone as a major victory for her personal growth and happiness.
