Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, has given a rare insight into her childhood in her latest Call Her Daddy  podcast episode.

“I’d wake up and I’d go to … the room that was our classroom, and we would go to school,” the 28-year-old shared on Wednesday.

She clarified that she “didn’t grow up” at Michael’s Neverland Ranch amusement park but did spend “the first few years of [her] life” there.

“It was made very, very clear that all of the attractions there were not for us … that did not belong to us,” she said.

She added that the ranch was for underprivileged and terminally ill children that couldn’t afford to go to places like Disneyland.

Paris shared that the “cool, very congruent line throughout [her] childhood that started there and continued” was that if she and her two siblings did chores and homework, they could have fun on the weekends.

She also revealed that the system also applied during a time when they “hotel hopped a lot” and “wouldn’t stay in one place for more than a year,” including going to venues like Chuck E. Cheese or Circus Circus on the weekends.

She added, “[It was] the same thing with television. We weren’t allowed to watch television or movies unless we were studying it for film with the sound off or on the weekends if we’d done everything we were supposed to.”

As a child, keeping their identities private during public outings by using face masks was the norm for them and it just “made sense.”

“[We were told], ‘If you do this now, you can go to Chuck E. Cheese and be normal because no one will know who you are,’” she explained, denying the practice was “scary”.

When asked to describe her dad, who died in 2009, Paris remembered him as a “really funny guy that was [her] best friend.”

She also referred to herself as his  “little princess.”

When asked about navigating the grief after her father’s death, she called the loss “rough” and said that transition stage in her life was a “crash course in gaining social skills.”

In another part of the interview she also opened up about her recovery from drug addiction.

She revealed that her substance abuse struggles began when she was in eighth or ninth grade and wanted to fight feeling “restless, irritable, discontented and not very comfortable in [her] own skin.”

Paris said she now has her “priorities straight” and affirmed that the last year has been the “best” of her life.
