Paris Jackson reveals graphic reality of what drug use did to her face in candid post

Paris Jackson has opened up about a dark consequence of her previous drug use.

The 27-year-old star shared a clip on TikTok and admitted she had "never actually addressed this" before as she spoke about the issue that she now has with her nose. 

In the clip, Jackson shone the light from her phone up her nose, revealing that she suffers from a "perforated septum" and sharing the graphic reality. 

"I have a really loud whistle when I breathe through my nose," the actress and model shared. 

Jackson explained the noise is due to a perforated septum, and she showed the small hole in her septum. 

She went on to explain that this is a different issue from a deviated septum. 

"That is from what you think it's from," Jackson noted. "Don't do drugs, kids."

Jackson rubbed her face and explained that she wasn't going to preach to people what to do with their lives.

Although she continued, "I don't recommend it" because drugs "ruined my life." 

Turning the focus of the video back to her nose, she explained why she didn't want to get plastic surgery to fix it. 

"I'm almost six years sober, and you have to take pills when you have a surgery that gnarly, and I don't want to f--k with that," she said. 

She went on to add that she's been living with this since around age 20, but it can be a real issue when she's in the recording studio.

Despite the awful issue, she did share a lighter side to it, and revealed that she can actually thread a spaghetti noodle through the hole. 

Speaking about the issue with her septum so candidly came a month after she 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."

Paris, who is the daughter of late music legend Michael Jackson, marked five years of sobriety in January.
