Fans were quick to notice that the daughter of the late Michael Jackson wasn’t alongside grandmother Katherine Jackson, brother Prince Jackson and aunt Rebbie Jackson while Janet Jackson accepted the Billboard Icon Award and performed a mash-up of her biggest hits during Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards.
The 20-year-old took to Instagram stories following the awards, telling her followers not to worry about her family’s business.
“Dear social media followers, friends, stalkers, lovers and haters, and fellow moonwalkers, please do not tell me/demand/try to control how I handle my relationship with the people in my life, specifically my family,” Paris expressed.
“As amazing and as s****y as things can be, it is no one’s business but ours. I understand that some of you feel some sort of connection or need to be a part of our lives considering you watched us grow up. However, I am handling my situation exactly how my father did. And I am happy keeping it that way,” she continued.
“I will always have love and respect for my family. ALWAYS. There is nothing more or less than that, that you need to know. Thank you for understanding,” Paris wrote.
“Every family has their moments of trauma, heartbreak, separation, love, oneness, tribe, pain, everything. EVERY FAMILY,” she continued. “My family, specifically, and a good number of others… Well, our drama is broadcasted worldwide through media, but that doesn’t mean our family issues are any different from yours. Ours are just made public. Every level has another devil. Every life has their own s**t to deal with. We ain’t inferior or superior to y’all. We’re all f***ing human, so let’s act like it.”
The 20-year-old concluded her message by thanking “any and every person” to read her post, adding that she’s “grateful” for everything in her life, positive or negative.
