Paris Jackson opens up about drug addiction after sharing brutal hole in nose
Paris Jackson has spoken about her drug addiction after she shared what her past use had done to her nose.
She's the second child of Michael Jackson and late last year the 28-year-old she showed her perforated septum in a video where she urged people to stay away from drugs.
"Don't do drugs kids, or do," she said in the video where she showed the hole in her nose from drug use.
"Everyone's going to have the experience they need to have with life. I'm not going to tell anyone what to do, but I don't recommend it because it ruined my life."

Jackson said she could get plastic surgery and fix the hole in her nose, but for that she'd need to be administered drugs to sedate her for the procedure and she doesn't want to 'f**k with that'.
Instead when she breathes through her nose she explained there's an audible whistle.
Now in a recent appearance on Jack Osbourne's Trying Not To Die podcast, Paris has spoken more about the way she sees her past drug addiction.
Paris explained that she'd been in treatment for drugs and alcohol 'a few times' before getting sober, and it was when she 'got off some pretty heavy drugs' that she realised she had issues with alcohol too.
She said that was 'typically how it goes for for for people like me' since they'd 'put one thing down, you pick up another'.
Speaking to Osbourne, she also spoke about the act of opening up about what happened, saying: "I do believe that, I think I've maybe said this before on a podcast or something.
"I do see these trials and tribulations whether it's like a title of alcoholic or addict or whatever, you know, victim of trauma, f**king whatever, as a superpower.
"Because when we go through the process of healing it and we go through the process of alchemizing it, it can become medicine for other people.
"Our experience can benefit other people. So I've learned the more painful that piece of suffering is, the more potent that medicine can be for someone else."
Elsewhere she'd also said that she suffered from treatment-resistant major depressive disorder, and that getting sober was difficult 'for what felt like an eternity'.
She also recently shared pictures with her mum Debbie Rowe, a nurse and the mum of Paris and Prince Jackson.
Paris didn't used to know her, having told Rolling Stone back in 2017: "When I was really, really young, my mom didn’t exist."
When they did meet they had what Paris described as 'more of an adult relationship' and said it was 'cool having her as a friend'.
