Paris Jackson, the 15-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson, reportedly used a meat cleaver to harm herself but did not have intentions of ending her life, according to recent reports.
This incident was not the first time she had made an attempt on her life.
Contrary to initial claims, it was revealed by TMZ that Paris did leave a suicide note and reached out to a suicide hotline for assistance.
The hotline operator promptly contacted emergency services, leading to Paris being placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold similar to Florida’s Baker Act.
Additionally, she received stitches for her injuries and had ingested an unspecified amount of Motrin pills, although her actions were not driven by a desire to die.
Sources close to the situation shared with TMZ that Paris was seeking attention and wanted to be rescued rather than seeking to take her own life.
The decision to contact a hotline instead of resorting to drastic measures perplexed many as the hotline’s purpose is to provide immediate help in such situations.
Fox News also reported insights from sources indicating that Paris has struggled with a cutting disorder over a prolonged period.
One insider expressed that given the abnormality of her upbringing, particularly witnessing her father’s challenges, this latest incident was not entirely unexpected.
The trauma of finding her father unresponsive years ago has left lasting scars on Paris and her brother Prince.
There are speculations circulating regarding a potential custody dispute between Paris’ mother, Debbie Rowe, and family matriarch Katherine Jackson.
While legal representatives have refrained from commenting on these rumors, the recurring pattern of Paris engaging in self-harm suggests the likelihood of further legal complications on the horizon.
The turbulent events surrounding Paris Jackson shed light on the complexities of her personal struggles and the challenges she faces growing up in the public eye.
