Paris Jackson opened up about how she manages her mental health while living under a microscope.
The 24-year-old American Horror Stories actress, who is the new face of KVD Beauty, spoke to PopSugar this week about how she deals with society’s pressure to look a certain way as a public figure.
“Recently, I’ve learned how to cope with it all by practicing self-love and affirmations and diving deeper into my spiritual life,” the star, who is the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, explained to the outlet. “It wasn’t until the last couple of years that I’ve started feeling really good about myself and my body, and feeling comfortable and everything. Those moments of self-love aren’t 24/7, but the bad moments are fewer and further between.”
