Paris Jackson defended giving a graphic look at her perforated septum while discussing her years of drug abuse.
“👋🏼☺️ to the people wondering why i shared this, it’s not for you ♥️,” she wrote in the comments section of the Shade Room’s Instagram post Tuesday.
“as a recovering heroin/fentanyl/cocaine/alcohol/etc addict, it’s part of my primary purpose to carry the message of recovery to others struggling with it. not to promote it, but just to carry the message,” the “American Horror Story” actress added.
“if this isn’t something you relate to, it’s totally understandable why it would be confusing for you. and that’s totally okay. it’s just a different life experience. i’d be grateful for that!”
Jackson, 27, said her initial video was for “other people that are either also in recovery, or haven’t found it yet.”
In a candid TikTok video Monday, the “Let Down” singer told her followers that she had a septal perforation, a hole in the cartilage or bone between your nostrils, per the Cleveland Clinic.
“I have a really loud whistle when I breathe through my nose,” the only daughter of the late Michael Jackson shared.
Paris then placed her phone light up to her nose so viewers would see the hole in the back of her nostrils.
“That is umm … what you think it’s from. Don’t do drugs, kids. Or, I mean, do. Everyone is going to have the experience they need to have with life,” she said.
“I’m not going to tell anyone what to do. But I don’t recommend it because it ruined my life,” the “Sex Appeal” star added.
Paris shared that she didn’t “want to get plastic surgery to fix” her nose because she is “almost six years sober” and she didn’t want to take pills during her recovery.
In January, the actress shared she celebrated five years of sobriety from alcohol and heroin.
