ILOSM fam,’ in case you hadn’t heard…the year was 2017 when Paris Jackson, daughter of Michael Jackson, had a lil’ surprise for us all at the Video Music Awards (VMA).
As we’ve learned in recent years, MJs daughter is much like he truly was. Michael was very outspoken and stood up for what he believed in — oftentimes when the public didn’t know he was doing so behind the scenes, and sometimes when MJ even thought it may cost him his life.
Paris has proven to be a young lady who does not mince her words and is very compassionate about others.
That same compassion was present on the nigh of the 2017 VMA’s. While announcing the winner for ‘the best pop video,’ Paris took a minute to address something weighing on her heart– the current uprising of White supremacist groups. She also took jabs at then-president, Donald Trump, while at it.
During her VMA presentation, Paris said she wanted to address “these Nazi White supremacist jerks in Charlottesville and all over the country.” She also mocked Trump while urging everyone to unite because the impact would be “yuuuge…believe me,” referencing one of Trump’s favorite phrases. She continued by including another Trump reference, “And that’s not fake news.”
Paris then said, “As a nation with liberty as our slogan, we have no tolerance for their violence, their hatred and their discrimination. We must resist.”

Pretty sure her father would be beyond proud of his 23-year-old baby girl right about now. Paris Jackson is continuing to stand for everything Michael Jackson represented: unity, peace, and resistance against prejudice and bigotry; and most importantly, in true MJ fashion, she’s slowly but surely showing the world that MJ’s daughter ain’t never scared…or in the words of her Pops – she’s “BAD.” Go ‘head Paris!!!
