Paris Jackson defends topless photos: ‘I cannot apologise for this in any way’
“I refuse to shy away and keep my beliefs a secret”

Paris Jackson has defended her decision to share topless photos on Instagram.
The 19-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson recently posted a topless photo on her Instagram story, censored by two ladybird emojis. After receiving criticism from some social media users, she has written a long statement on the subject.
Posting another topless photo to her Instagram feed yesterday (May 13), the model and actor wrote: “Being naked is part of what makes us human… it helps me feel more connected to mama gaia. I’m usually naked when I garden. It’s actually a beautiful thing and you don’t have to make it sexual the way many Hollywood stars (and the media) do.”
She continued: “The human body is a beautiful thing and no matter what “flaws” you have, whether it be scars, or extra weight, stretch marks, freckles, whatever, it is beautiful and you should express yourself however you feel comfortable.”
Addressing critics of her topless Instagram story post, she wrote: “If this makes some of you upset I completely understand and I encourage you to maybe no longer follow me, but I cannot apologise for this in any way. It is who I am and I refuse to shy away and keep my beliefs a secret.”
