Paris Jackson recently shared details about her childhood with her father, Michael Jackson, on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. She revealed that she and her siblings had a structured routine that involved doing chores and homework in exchange for fun activities on the weekends. Despite not growing up at Neverland Ranch, they had access to certain attractions reserved for underprivileged and terminally ill children.
Paris discussed how they moved frequently and enjoyed outings to places like Chuck E. Cheese and Circus Circus. Their television viewing was limited to educational purposes or as a reward for completing their tasks. She also explained the reasoning behind wearing face masks in public to maintain anonymity, a practice she found reasonable at the time.

She candidly shared her struggles with drug addiction and her journey to sobriety, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and self-care in her recovery process.
Despite facing setbacks, including the end of her engagement and a difficult detox period, Paris has embraced a healthier lifestyle and prioritized her well-being. She expressed gratitude for the positive changes in her life and highlighted the importance of seeking help for mental health issues.
