Paris Jackson's shocking claims about her father's death

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, says "all arrows point" to her father having been murdered.

The 18-year-old tells Rolling Stone in a wide-ranging interview that she blames Dr Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, for getting her father hooked on anesthetic.

"Because it's obvious. All arrows point to that. It sounds like a total conspiracy theory and it sounds like bullshit, but all real fans and everybody in the family knows it. It was a setup. It was bullshit."

The magazine asked Paris if she wanted revenge, and she replied: "Of course."

"I definitely do, but it's a chess game. And I am trying to play the chess game the right way. And that's all I can say about that right now."

She also reveals that she battled depression and drug addiction after her father's death and was entered into a residential therapy program at age 15.

She also says she was sexually assaulted by a "complete stranger" at age 14.

"I don't wanna give too many details. But it was not a good experience at all, and it was really hard for me, and, at the time, I didn't tell anybody."

Paris, along with her two brothers Prince, 19, and Blanket, 14, was raised solely by Michael until his death from acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009.

She shared: "(I was hanging out with) a lot of older people doing a lot of crazy things. I was doing a lot of things that 13, 14, 15-year-olds shouldn't do. I tried to grow up too fast, and I wasn't really that nice of a person."

Discussing her time at the educational facility in Utah, she added: "It was great for me. I'm a completely different person. Before I was crazy. I was actually crazy. I was going through a lot of, like, teen angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help."
