Paris Jackson, 27, daughter of the late "King of Pop" Michael Jackson and an actor and model, confessed to the aftereffects of drug use and urged fans to be vigilant.
On the 10th, Paris Jackson said in a video posted on TikTok that she is suffering from a perforated septum. A perforated septum is a condition in which a hole forms in the central wall inside the nose, causing a sound when breathing, and it can occur after long-term inhalation of drugs such as cocaine.
In the video, Jackson shone a phone light inside her nose and showed the damaged area as it is. Jackson said, "When I breathe through my nose, it makes a really loud whistling sound," adding, "For exactly the reason you think." Jackson then warned firmly, "Guys, don't do drugs."
Jackson said, "It (drugs) ruined my life." The internal nasal damage has tormented Jackson since around age 20, and the hole is big enough to thread a strand of spaghetti through.
Paris Jackson also said Jackson will not undergo nasal surgery. Jackson does not want to take opioid painkillers again. Jackson said Jackson has remained off drugs for six years.
The video came about a month after Jackson shared her experience of quitting drugs at the 35th Friendly House Awards in Los Angeles (LA) on the 11th of last month. At the podium then, Jackson said, "I didn't just get my life back," adding, "I got a better one."
Friendly House is a rehabilitation program that helps women struggling with trauma or addiction, and Jackson received the "Shining Star" award for her collaboration with the organization.
