Paris Jackson and the Hole in Her Nasal Septum
Paris Jackson explained that a hole formed in her nasal septum due to long-term drug use, especially inhaled substances. This condition creates a loud whistling sound when she breathes through her nose.

She added that this damage began around the age of 20 and continues to this day. She also mentioned that she is currently not planning surgery to fix it, as the surgical process and medications afterward could jeopardize her sobriety.

Paris Jackson also spoke about her period of alcohol and heroin addiction. Earlier this year, she wrote: Hello, I’m PK, and I was addicted to alcohol and heroin. Today, I have been sober and substance-free for five years.
She added: It’s because of my sobriety that I can smile today. I can make music. I can enjoy the love of my dogs and cats. I can feel heartbreak, cry, laugh, dance, and trust.
A Message of Warning and Hope
In a video message to her audience, Paris said: Don’t do drugs, kids. Or do them everyone has to have their own experience. I’m not telling you what to do. But I wouldn’t recommend it because it ruined my life.
Her words combine honesty with a warning; she shares not just her experiences, but also the physical and mental realities that come after substance abuse a topic rarely seen in public discussions.
Conclusion
