WATCH: Paris Jackson Makes Shock Suicide Confession In Emotional Video


Paris Jackson has bravely opened up about her experience with online bullies in an emotional video.

The 18-year-old daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson posted the now-deleted footage on her Instagram page, breaking down in tears as she admitted that she tried to kill herself four years ago due to the abuse that she suffered on the internet.

Speaking to the camera, Paris shared: “I don’t understand how there can be so much hatred in the world. I’ve tried sticking up for myself, the whole blocking the haters thing, not reading the comments… I’ve tried a lot of things.

“But it’s hard when there’s so much of it. I don’t get why I am such an easy target. I try to be nice to everyone I meet, I give everyone a chance.”

She continued: “I try to be open with you guys about what I do on a daily basis, I don’t hide a lot. I’m very public.

“When I was 14 I got so much hatred that I tried to kill myself. I took a two year break from social media and people asked me to come back and make my Instagram public again, so I did… But nothing changed.

“I’m just tired of it and I know I’m not the only one.”

Paris also referenced her close friend, Sofia Richie, who was bombarded with hatred after she started dating superstar Justin Bieber.

She explained: “F*cking Justin Bieber went into a downward spiral because everyone he dates get so much hate. I have known Sofia since I was like 12 years old, she’s one of the sweetest girls in the world and people are telling her to kill herself.

“I’m just really, really tired.”

Concerned fans of Paris quickly inundated her with loving messages, with the teen taking to Twitter to reassure followers that she had her family to support her.
