It's been years now since Paris Jackson has been subjected to the heightened level of media scrutiny she endured growing up alongside her father, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. But she says she believes she still suffers with "standard PTSD" over it.
While they were covered in masks as a way to try and protect them from the ever-present photographers, Paris and her siblings were nevertheless famous from the moment they were born, with tabloids scrutinizing every move made that had anything to do with them.

View StoryThe constant noise of cameras and reporters bombarding Michael with questions appears to have taken a toll on Paris, who opens up about that surreal experience on Wednesday's "Red Table Talk" with Willow Smith.

Paris said that she's found the most support as a member of the LGBTQ+ community with her brothers. She even noted that Prince joined a club in high school that brings together LGTBQ+ youth and allies. "Not a lot of people can say they have siblings that support them like that," she said.
