Paris Jackson Recalls ‘Multiple’ Suicide Attempts While Slamming Doctors For ‘Handing Out Addictive Medication Like Candy’
In an interview with Luisa Via Roma (LVR) Magazine, Paris Jackson recalls her “multiple” suicide attempts while slamming doctors for “handing out addictive medication like candy.”
Speaking with the publication, Paris says, “There should be a better vetting process [in everything]: before you medicate — or something even more dangerous, like selling a gun — you should vet them.” She continues, “It’s important in all kinds of situations. It could be as simple as a job, or as complicated as medicine or a weapon. Psychiatrists hand out addictive medication like candy without really vetting the patient. There is no harm in vetting.”

As a refresher, the 23-year-old’s father and legend, Michael Jackson, passed in 2009 from a cardiac arrest due to a lethal combination of prescription drugs. Paris would go on to battle with drugs and alcohol abuse, suicide attempts and self-harm. In 2017 she spoke with Rolling Stone about taking 20 Motrin tablets and slitting her wrists in June 2013. She said, “[I attempted suicide] multiple times. It was just once that it became public.” She explained that it was her “third strike” and it led her to seek residential treatment. In the same interview, she revealed that she was prescribed the same anti-depressants as her father, but had no longer been on any psych meds at the time of her sit-down.
