Paris Jackson claims her father was “murdered”

Michael Jackson‘s daughter has claimed that the icon was murdered in a revealing new interview.

Paris Jackson, 18, is the late star’s only daughter with second wife, Debbie Rowe. Paris was just 11 years old when her father died in 2009.

In her first-ever in-depth interview, Paris told Rolling Stone that she’s convinced that her father was murdered, saying: “He would drop hints about people being out to get him. And at some point he was like, ‘They’re gonna kill me one day’. It sounds like a total conspiracy theory and it sounds like bullshit, but all real fans and everybody in the family knows it. It was a setup. It was bullshit.”

Paris also believes her father’s innocence against allegations of child molestation: “Picture your parent crying to you about the world hating him for something he didn’t do,” she says. “And for me, he was the only thing that mattered. To see my entire world in pain, I started to hate the world because of what they were doing to him. I’m like, ‘How can people be so mean?’”

Elsewhere in the interview, Paris says that she believes Jackson is her biological father and that she considers herself black. She also says that she didn’t know she had a living mother until she was 10 years old.

Last year, Michael Jackson fans believed that he was still alive after supposedly spotting him in one of Paris’ selfies.
