Michael Jackson’s Daughter Paris Jackson: Building Her Own Identity Beyond a Legendary Legacy

She has a tattoo of his Dangerous album cover on her forearm. She has another tattoo of his signature. She keeps a photo of him on her nightstand.

But she’s also critical of the way her father was treated by the media and by the people around him. She has spoken out about his death, about the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland (which she has called a “lie”), and about the toll that fame took on him.

“I’m not here to defend him,” she said. “I’m here to love him. He was my father. He was a person. He was complicated. And I miss him every single day.”
