Paris Jackson Responds to Criticism of Her ‘Dirty’ Tattoos

Paris Jackson responded passionately after a social media user remarked that her tattoos “make her look dirty.”

Jackson, 28, reacted in the comments of an Instagram post from E! News on Thursday, August 13, addressing a comment that stated, “She is gorgeous, but those tattoos just make her look dirty and take away from her look.”

“Oh no, what ever will I do? 😰 (I’m dirty even without the tattoos),” the daughter of the late Michael Jackson replied.

The topic in question featured a clip from Paris’ interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast with Alex Cooper on Wednesday, August 12, where she discussed her relationship with her mother Debbie Rowe.

Michael Jackson shared Paris and his son Prince, 29, with Rowe before his tragic passing in 2009; however, he mostly raised the children on his own. (He is also survived by his son Bigi, 24, who was born through a surrogate.)

“I remember kind of asking about it when I was probably around 10 or 11, and the answers I got were sufficient to me,” Paris shared. “Just like, ‘Oh, what’s her name?’ I got told her name, and I was like, ‘All right, cool,’ and just moved on.”

“We connected when I was about 15 and then really got closer towards the end of my teenage years,” Paris reminisced. “I remember coming downstairs and finding her in the living room with my grandma. I entered and said, ‘Hey, mom.’ She responded with, ‘Hi.’ I sat down, we chatted for a moment, and then we spent the day together. She’s a [Sagittarius] with fire, and I’m an Aries, so I have fire too. We are a lot alike.”

Paris also discussed growing up in the spotlight and the measures her father, the King of Pop, took to protect his children’s privacy.

“I knew he was famous. I just didn’t grasp how famous,” she confessed about Michael. “There was definitely a moment when I looked out my hotel window — one of those times when the alias didn’t quite work — and saw a sea of people with signs and everything. I’m not naive enough to think, ‘Yeah, everyone experiences this.’ I just didn’t understand the extent of it.”

“It made sense because it was like, ‘Oh yeah, if you do this now, then you can go to Chuck-E-Cheese and be normal this weekend because no one will know who you are,’” Paris explained, reflecting on wearing masks in public as a child. “That logic worked for me. … Spiders and loss scared me growing up. I don’t know if the public attention was scary. I always felt protected. We always had security, and while sometimes the crowds got a little intense, there was an adult to hold on to.”
