Paris Jackson is opening up about her past drug use.
In a TikTok clip posted on Monday, Nov 10, the 27-year-old star admitted that she had “never actually addressed this,” before moving on to show off her “perforated septum” by shining the light of her cell phone up her nose.
“I have a really loud whistle when I breathe through my nose,” the actress and model shared. “And that is because I have what is called a perforated septum,” she explained, showing the small hole in her septum and adding that it was “slightly different from a deviated septum.”
“That is from what you think it’s from,” Jackson noted, adding, “Don’t do drugs, kids,” while pointing down the lens.
Turning serious for a moment, the make-up-free star said she “didn’t recommend” taking drugs, adding that it had “ruined my life.”

Turning her attention back to her nose, Jackson said she didn’t want to get plastic surgery to fix it as she was six years sober and “you have to take pills when you have a surgery that gnarly.”
She went on to note that she’d been living with the issue since the age of 20, adding that it was a “bitch” when she was in the studio. Jackson also quipped that she could thread a spaghetti noodle through the hole in her septum.
Jackson’s candid revelation came just one month after she movingly spoke about her journey to sobriety at the 35th annual Friendly House Awards Luncheon in Los Angeles on Oct. 11.

“I didn’t just get my life back. I got a better one,” she said of getting sober. “I say it’s funny, I feel like getting sober was kind of like getting into a car accident because everything I shoved in the back seat moved forward on impact and today I’m learning to navigate life on life’s terms.”
Friendly House is a rehabilitation program for women healing from trauma, offering a sober living house, meetings and other forms of support and during the event, Jackson was awarded the Shining Star Award for her work with the organization.
During her reflective speech, the singer also noted that she’s “really grateful to be a part of a movement that aligns so much with my higher purpose and the essence of my daily reprieve. Getting someone to develop conscious contact has easily been the greatest action I’ve ever taken and I pray that I can continue to help others.”
