PARIS Jackson has been accused of cashing in on her famous last name.
The 18-year-old made headlines this week when she shared several personal details about herself in a cover interview with Rolling Stone.
Sharing her story with the world, Paris revealed how she went on a downward spiral of depression and self-harm following the death of her pop legend dad, Michael Jackson.
The famous teen also revealed that a “complete stranger” sexually assaulted her when she was just 14.
Speaking about the life-changing attack, she said: “I don’t wanna give too many details. But it was not a good experience at all, and it was really hard for me, and, at the time, I didn’t tell anybody.”
Paris also claimed that her dad Michael, who is thought to have died of an overdose, was murdered.
Explaining her controversial theory, she said: “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.”
While fans have been quick to send their support to Paris following her honest confessions, US talkshow host Wendy Williams has since slammed her.
During the Hot Topics segment of The Wendy Williams Show, the 52-year-old ranted about Paris’ big interview, saying the teen had done nothing to warrant being on the cover.
Arguing that Paris was using her father’s legacy to elevate herself, Wendy said: “She has not made her mark on her own. You can’t be on the cover of one of the most prestigious magazines in the world and just be the daughter of [Michael] and tell your story inside.
“She hasn’t made any music that we know of, she’s done the modelling but she’s not on her way.”
Explaining her issue further, Wendy reasoned that she didn’t mind Paris telling her story, but she thought the cover spot should have been reserved for a picture of Michael.
Interestingly, the talk show host did agree with Paris’ theory on her famous dad’s death.
“She [Paris] thinks her dad was murdered. We have heard this before – when the stakes get high and insurance things are paid. I am not surprised that she said that she feels like her father was murdered,” Wendy remarked.
She added: “Paris goes on to say the rest of the family feel the same way. So she is not alone in this. And she’s hoping that justice will serve one day.”
Although Wendy has taken issue on the matter, Paris has gained one famous supporter – Boy George.
The singer, who met Paris at the menswear Dior show in Paris last week, has since praised her.
“I told her [Paris] that she was very beautiful and I told her that her dad [Michael] was amazing. It was one of my big sorrows that I never got to meet him,” he revealed on Bravo’s What Happens Live.
“She was lovely, she’s such a lovely girl,” he added.
