Paris Jackson has been having a tough last few days — and she’s calling out the media and paparazzi for “non-stop bulls**t” over the way it’s being reported!
The 20-year-old model is still recovering after being hospitalized at one point over the weekend, but while that medical scare was initially reported as an alleged suicide attempt, Jackson quickly — and strongly — denied those initial reports… and that’s where all the bulls**t apparently started.

On Monday evening, Michael Jackson‘s daughter took to Twitter to again slam another media report about her — this one, about how she allegedly fell asleep at the wheel while driving (WTF?!) after paparazzi snapped a pic of her in her car with her eyes closed… as she was parked at a gas station.
In a series of tweets, the 20-year-old explained what happened, blasting those for jumping to conclusions, in part one:
“*Parks at gas station waiting for my boyfriend to pump gas*
*closes eyes to listen to favorite song*
paps take pic and zoom in so you can’t see that i’m parked and accuse me of falling asleep at the wheel
When will this stop? This past week it’s been nonstop bulls**t”
See (below).
And then part two (below):
Hmmm… she makes a strong case!
Jackson was out and about last night for The Dirt premiere in El Lay with her boyfriend, Gabriel Glenn (red carpet snap below), and apparently when he got out of the (parked!) car to pump gas, paparazzi allegedly zoomed in super-close to Paris to reveal she’d closed her eyes for a moment in the stopped car. It’s unfortunate timing, if only because she appeared to be in good spirits at the premiere with her BF, The Soundflowers band member.

Clearly, whatever medical treatment she did receive over the weekend must have been somewhat minor, considering she was released so early on Saturday evening, being seen in public multiple times now since that health scare. And by extension, whatever is being reported about her health (and related mental health) since then at least appears as though it could be distorted, judging by the bizarre report of her falling asleep at the wheel.
The aspiring model has publicly fought emotional and mental health battles in the past, so maybe that makes some see her as potentially at risk to struggle again now amid the Leaving Neverland fallout.
But wait — there’s more.
…And yet, for what it’s worth, TMZ is doubling down on their contention about ongoing mental health issues. The outlet reported on Tuesday morning that the young star is allegedly refusing to go to rehab after what they are still calling a suicide scare over the weekend.
According to the report, sources “close to Paris” claim she’s “dealing with all sorts of emotional issues as well as substance abuse issues.” Her team reportedly “had help ready to spring into action” over the weekend… but she apparently refused.
It’s tough — obviously, this report is in direct contradiction to Paris’ own words the past few days where she explicitly denied the reported suicide attempt; and yet sources continue to press on. More disturbingly, now they say Jackson is resisting a rehab stay and apparently feels like it’s unnecessary in her current situation. Allegedly, those close to her will continue to encourage rehabilitation– whether she ends up agreeing with them or not.
Whew.
This is a lot to take in!
What do y’all think about this, Perezcious readers?!
It’s at least understandable if Paris is struggling in some way with the fallout from Leaving Neverland, but do U think concerns about her current mental health are being way overblown?? HAS this past week been non-stop bull s**t?? Or is there something to be said about sources still coming forward on the down-low with alleged suicide worries and rehab concerns?!
