Paris Jackson Bravely Opens Up About Nose Perforation from Past Drug Abuse

In a recent social media video, Paris Jackson, the 27-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson, bravely opened up about one of the lasting consequences of her past drug abuse - a perforated septum. Jackson explained that she has had a hole in the middle of her nose for around 7 years, dating back to when she was around 20 years old. This condition, which causes a noticeable whistling sound when she breathes through her nose, is a result of her previous drug use.

While Jackson has been open about her struggles with addiction in the past, including a heroin addiction, this video marked the first time she directly addressed the physical toll it took on her body. She celebrated 5 years of sobriety earlier this year, a major milestone in her journey to recovery. However, Jackson remains hesitant to undergo surgery to repair the perforation, fearing it could lead to a relapse due to the need for narcotic pain medication.

Despite her own difficult experiences, Jackson struck a balanced tone, acknowledging that everyone must find their own path in life. Though she warned against drug use, stating "it ruined my life," she also said, "I'm not going to tell anyone what to do." Jackson's candid and vulnerable account serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact substance abuse can have, even long after getting sober.
