Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, is doing a lil’ damage control right about now. You see, she’s long since been known for having her father’s equal rights activism type of spirit- she speaks out on various issues including politics, civil rights, the need for the uplifting of poorer communities, etc. Yet, she’s apparently pissed off one the groups that she’s typically known for advocating for as well- the LGBT community.
Paris is on the latest issue of Hapar’s Bazarre Singapore magazine cover. The problem is that Singapore is known for it’s anti-gay laws. Therefore, she’s catching all kinds of hell for being an openly bisexual woman and posing for a magazine who distributes to such a country.
Paris Responds To Being Called A Hypocrite
A publication by the name of Gay Star News retweeted Paris’ Hapar’s Bazarre magazine cover with the caption, “C’mon,” and subsequently slammed the hell outta her in an article of their own.
Paris immediately responded with this:
“i didn’t know, i am sorry. i was grateful for the opportunity, but i’ll delete the post now. i don’t want to be hypocritical or hurt anyone, and my support for my fellow LGBTQ+ community comes first before my love for fashion and gratitude for this opportunity. again, i’m sorry.”
After probably sifting through more comments on her social media timelines and noticing the continued backlash she was getting, Paris came back with more tweets:
“i would like to add though that someone that is openly apart of the community being on the cover in a country against the community, should be celebrated. isn’t that a step forward? again, i am deeply sorry. i didn’t mean to be hypocritical or hurt anyone. … also that article is ridiculously mean.”
A member of the LGBT community let Paris know everything was all good as far as they’re concerned:
“I’m part of the LGBTQ community and I don’t understand the problem??,” the commenter wrote.
Paris appreciated their kind words, but still blasted off off about the fact that folks are out here calling her a hypocrite:
“calling me a hypocrite for being apart of the community and being on the cover of a fashion magazine in a country where same sex marriage is illegal. (the magazine is not just in singapore, it was supposed to go to several several dif countries) i apologized to those i offended. i stay at home for a week recovering, recalibrating, in my pajamas watchin cartoons n cuddling my dog, not doing anything wrong… nd people still find ways to write horribly rude mean and hurtful things about me. STILL try to find anything to get mad at me for. #tallpoppysyndrome
they will find anything to try to attack my integrity and character. whenever i do something positive they always twist it. the tabloids and media have been like this for decades and decades, it’s very sad.”
Not Her 1st Time Standing Up
Paris may be young as hell, but she learned very early on how to speak her mind. We’ve seen her do it time and time again. In fact, just days ago, she also had to speak up in defense of her beloved dad. Why? Because there’s some dude out here trying to sham folks, by reportedly pretending to be her dad. His name is Peter Midani (one of MJ’s reported fake names) and he’s led many people to believe he is THE Michael Jackson, who is not dead, but has instead ‘faked’ his death in order to live a peaceful life on social media. Laaawd… See what Paris had to to say about that character:
Keep speaking your mind Paris, your Pops would be proud!
