That’s what some in the media are whispering. They say little Paris Jackson, 11, was pushed to the forefront before she was ready. They may be right. Paris’ speech seemed forced — like she was under a lot of pressure to “perform.” She seemed to be under duress and anxious to please her new caretakers. A sure sign of duress was when she cried but no tears fell.
It was too much pressure brought to bear on a child who lived her entire life under a veil.
One industry friend that I spoke with last night remarked on the fact that Michael Jackson would be appalled if he were alive to see his family exploit his daughter in such a manner. The child that he shielded from public scrutiny all her life — being used for some cheap publicity.
This is from X17online.com:
Though it seemed like 11-year-old Paris Jackson was the one who wanted to deliver that heartbreaking eulogy at her father’s funeral, E! Online is reporting that Paris was seen and heard backstage at the Staples Center telling family members that she did NOT want to make such a public statement. A source tells E!, “She was crying and screaming that she didn’t want to do it. But the family was telling her she had to.”
Shame on the Jackson family.
