Family Affair: Janet Jackson Unleashes Rare Photo W/ ‘Beautiful Niece’ Paris Jackson.
“Janet Jackson posted a rare picture with her niece, Paris Jackson, during a fashion week party on Wednesday in France.
“So good catching up w/ my beautiful niece @parisjackson 💖💖💖,” the singer wrote alongside an Instagram post on Friday of the pair sitting together on an animal-print couch during Paris Fashion Week.
The pop star, 56, kept things classy in a white button-down shirt, dark gray blazer and black tie. She added a pop of color to the ensemble by securing her bun with a red striped bow.
Paris showed a bit more skin in a cream-colored slip dress with a sheer lace bodice, a studded choker, round sunglasses and thigh-high brown suede boots from Paris Texas.
Fans of the songstress and the 24-year-old’s famous father, Michael Jackson, were quick to show the ladies some love in the comments section.
“Awww I’m so happy that you met there and spent time together 😍🥰!!! Love you both so much ❤️❤️,” one person commented.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment 😩🤲🏽,” another chimed in.
While another added, “Glad to see yall were able to patch things up.❤️❤️❤️.”
The surprise family reunion comes after years of speculation that the two women had a falling out after the “Thriller” singer’s tragic death in 2009.
Paris and Janet reportedly got into a heated argument regarding the King of Pop’s will back in 2012.
Although the famous family has kept mum over the alleged drama, Paris set the record straight six years later when rumors started swirling that she had not been invited to the “All For You” singer’s Billboard Music Awards performance.
“Dear social media followers, friends, stalkers, lovers and haters, and fellow moonwalkers: Please do not tell me/demands/try to control how I handle my relationship with the people in my life, specifically my family,” she wrote in an Instagram Story.
“Every family has their moments of trauma, heartbreak, separation, love, oneness, tribe, pain, everything. EVERY FAMILY. My family, specifically, and a good number of others…well, our drama is broadcasted worldwide through media,” she continued. “But that doesn’t mean our family issues are any different from yours. Ours are just made public.”
Michael Jackson’s only daughter has struggled to handle living in the public eye without her father — and has been open about its impact on her mental health.
In a shocking 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, Paris admitted she tried to take her own life at just 15 years old.
“[I attempted suicide] multiple times. It was just once that it became public. It was just self-hatred, low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn’t do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore,” she told the outlet. “I was doing a lot of things that 13-, 14-, 15-year-olds shouldn’t do. I tried to grow up too fast, and I wasn’t really that kind of a person.”
Since then, the young songstress has leaned into her music career to find peace and carry on her father’s legacy.” – Pagesix.com
