Paris Jackson's Emotional Malibu Outing: Fiancé Offers Comfort on Father’s Death Anniversary

Paris Jackson's Emotional Breakdown: The Strain of Losing Her Father Takes a Toll

In a shocking display of vulnerability, Paris Jackson was spotted on a tense outing with her fiancé Justin Long in Malibu, California - just one week before the 16th anniversary of her father Michael Jackson's untimely death. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter's emotional moment came as she struggled to contain tears, with Justin attempting to comfort her with an embrace.

As if the weight of her father's legacy wasn't enough, Paris has been facing a torrent of criticism from fans who are upset that she will be performing on tour on the anniversary of Michael's death. The pressure is palpable, and it seems like it's taking a toll on her mental health.

The outing itself was low-key, with Paris dressed in a sporty ensemble and Justin opting for an ultra-casual look. However, beneath their relaxed exteriors, both seemed to be carrying the weight of their emotions. Paris wore a somber expression as they chatted on the side of the road, while Justin tried to comfort her with an embrace when she began to tear up.

This emotional display comes just days after Paris had to defend herself against furious fans who were upset that she would be performing on tour on the anniversary of her father's death. In a series of now-expired Instagram Stories posts, she addressed her critics head-on, explaining that as an opening act, she doesn't get to choose the dates she performs.

"I'm not picking what date I perform," she said in the video post. "It's just me and my acoustic guitar and my sound guy, who happens to be my fiancé. So we're gonna be in a soccer mom van."

Paris also took aim at fans who are judging her for moving on with her life 16 years after her father's passing. "Note to admins: It is unacceptable to judge someone else's pain and grief based on information from the internet," she reposted, via Instagram Stories.

Judging Paris' respect for her father from an outside perspective is unfair, as June 25 may intensify our pain as fans, but she lives with the loss of her father daily."

Paris added a simple response: "thx fam."

The Scholarly Note has learned that Justin and Paris met in 2022 and their relationship was professional before it became romantic. They announced their engagement last December, with Paris writing on Instagram: "Happy birthday my sweet blue... Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind, and I couldn't dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with. Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you."

Justin's background is equally intriguing - he attended college in Indiana at Grace College & Seminary, where he graduated in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in marketing and business administration. He transitioned to music full-time in 2013 and has worked with artists including Grace Potter, The Wombats, and Sleater-Kinney.

As the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death approaches, it's clear that Paris is still struggling to come to terms with her loss. With her father's legacy looming large over her life, it's little wonder she's feeling the strain. Will we see a more emotional and vulnerable side of Paris in the coming days? Only time will tell.
