Paris Jackson says it’s ‘not her role’ to defend dad Michael amid molestation allegations

Paris Jackson, daughter of Michael Jackson, clapped back at everybody who shamed her for not publicly defending her late father following sexual molestation allegations against him. Finally addressing the issue nearly two weeks after the release of the HBO documentary ‘Leaving Neverland’, Paris firmly asserted that it is in no way her role to defend Michael. Earlier this month, HBO aired the documentary titled ‘Leaving Neverland’ which details allegations of sexual abuse committed by the late King of Pop. The film stirred controversy, drawing mixed reactions from the public.

 The late singer’s family criticised the film, while, many fans and supporters of Jackson staged protests against the broadcast of the documentary. However, Paris remained quiet and did not voice her opinion regarding the documentary. Breaking her silence, Paris, on Friday, tweeted, “There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said in regards to defence. Taj is doing a perfect job on his own. And I support him. But that’s not my role. I’m just tryna get everyone to chill out and go with the flow, be mellow and think about the bigger picture. That’s me.”

 “I actually haven’t made any statements yet, especially regarding how it affects my work life. you guys are reaching a bit. At least this wasn’t a disgusting and attacking article though,” Paris wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
