Paris ‘battling to cope’ with backlash of Jacko claims
Flooding hell as storms hit
DENIAL Paris Jackson MICHAEL Jackson’s daughter, Paris, felt she was “living in a pressure cooker” before her alleged suicide bid, it was claimed.
The 20-year-old “did not know which way to turn” as she faced social media scrutiny, it was alleged.
Paris denied the suicide bid on Twitter, writing “F*** you, you f***ing liars.”
Family friends claimed her brother, Prince, had maintained a “dignified silence” following abuse allegations against their father in the TV documentary, Leaving Neverland.
But they claimed Paris had struggled.
PRESSURE
A Jackson family source claimed: “Paris has become detached from those close to her in recent weeks, and cannot see a way out of this pressure cooker.
“She lives for social media – and every day the attacks keep coming.
“It is like the eyes of the world are glaring at her,” the source claimed.
The Los Angeles Police department stated: “At about 7.28am [on Saturday], officers responded to [an address in] Hillside for an attempted suicide.”
Paris was seen getting a KFC later that day with boyfriend Gabriel Glenn.
Last week she said it was “not my role” to publicly defend her father against the allegations. WINDS gusting at 65mph lashed Britain over the weekend as the heavens opened and rivers burst their banks.
Last night there were 24 flood warnings and 35 alerts in England, almost all in the North and Midlands.
In Wales there were warnings and nine alerts.
Bus driver Darren Johnson rescued a woman after a tree crashed on to her car, smashing the windscreen, on Friday night.
Her Ford Fiesta was right in front of his Stagecoach bus and Darren, on a route in Clarencefield in the Scottish Borders, leapt out to pull her free.
Darren, 46, of Carlisle, said: “The lady had her arm waving out the window. The tree landed on the bonnet.
“A split second later, it would have been on her roof.” The middle-aged woman had cuts five and bruises. In Capel Curig, Conwy, North Wales, two weeks of rain – 136.6mm – fell in 24 hours. The River Conwy reached its highest recorded level and about 40 properties were flooded in the area.
There were two flood alerts near Norwich.
At Stanborough Lakes in Welwyn Garden City, Herts, a seven-year-old boy was rescued from a water-filled van. He had checks in hospital.
Judy Perry, 27, saw an air ambulance, three fire engines, ambulances and police cars at the scene. She said: “Thank goodness it ended well.” Herts Chief Fire Officer Darryl Keen said: “Were it not for their [the fire crews’] swift actions, the outcome could have been considerably worse.” The Environment Agency put up defences at Shrewsbury, Shrops, to protect against the River Severn which flooded. Calder Valley, Greater Manchester, was also awash and the river Ouse in York burst its banks. The Environment Agency said some rivers will continue to rise in the next few days but will fall quickly as it is expected to be “increasingly dry”. It’s forecast to be warmer today and tomorrow.
