KEY POINTS

  • Paris Jackson opened up about her sexuality 
  • She also recalled how her father, Michael Jackson, was supportive of her 
  • Paris also didn't think she was going to end up with a man 

Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, has opened up about her sexuality and shared how her father showed his support for her choices when she was a child.

In the first episode of the Facebook Watch series “Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn,” Paris revealed that she never anticipated that she would “end up with a dude,” explaining that she thought she would tie the knot with a girl, E! News reported. This stemmed from the 22-year-old, who is the only daughter of the late “King of Pop,” dating more women than men.

“The public only knows about three long-term relationships that I've been in and they've been with men. The public doesn't know about most of the relationships I've been in," Paris shared.

The model also said that she wouldn’t consider herself as bisexual since she has been in more relationships with women than the opposite sex.

“It has nothing to do with what's in your pants. It has nothing to do with what your XY chromosome makeup is, it's literally just what are you like as a person,” the musician, who was once linked to Cara Delevingne, explained.

However, understanding this initially wasn’t easy and made her confused. Paris had no idea about this matter and was baffled by what she felt because the media would only show men and women.

Paris shared that she believes her father had understood what she was feeling at the time. Jackson would tease Paris when she was young about having a girlfriend, just like how the patriarch would poke fun at her other siblings.

“I think he just felt the energy and he would like kind of tease me the same way that he would tease my brothers, like 'Oh, you got yourself a girlfriend,’” Paris quoted the later “Thriller” hitmaker.

The model went on explain that she considers herself lucky to have had this experience when she was around 8 or 9 years old. However, after Jackson died in 2009, she had to move in with her grandma, who is a Jehovah’s Witnesses believer.

As such, she felt that she needed to withhold her personality for a while. Jackson’s sole daughter also revealed that she came out to a family member, who didn’t believe her.
