Paris Jackson Makes Candid Admission About How Drug Use Affected Her Body: ‘It Ruined My Life’

Paris Jackson is opening up about an unexpected result of her past substance abuse.

On Monday, November 10, the model, 27, shared a video on TikTok discussing her addiction and revealing she has a perforated septum, which, according to the Cleveland Clinic, “is a hole in the cartilage or bone in between your nostrils.”

“I have a really loud whistle when I breathe through my nose, and that is because I have what is called a perforated septum, slightly different from a deviated septum,” the American Horror Story actress shared. “That is, um, what you think it’s from. Don’t do drugs, kids.”

“I don’t recommend it because it ruined my life,” Jackson added.

The musician also explained that she didn’t want to go under the knife to correct the problem as she doesn’t want to risk her sobriety.

“I don’t want to get plastic surgery to fix because I’m almost six years sober,” she shared. “You have to take pills when you do a surgery that gnarly, and I don’t wanna f**k with that. I’ve been living with this since I was about 20.”

In January, Jackson shared a heartfelt post on Instagram commemorating her 5-year sobriety mark.

“Hi, i’m pk and i’m an alcoholic and a heroin addict,” she captioned a video of her doing drugs and drinking.

“Today marks 5 years clean & sober from all drugs and alcohol. to say that i’m thankful would be a poor euphemism,” she wrote in part. “gratitude hardly scratches the surface. it’s because i’m sober that i get to smile today.”
