- Paris Jackson opened up about her social anxiety on the latest episode of "Red Table Talk”
- "I experience audio hallucinations with camera clicks," she said
- Jackson said that she's been using a type of psychotherapy known as EMDR to cope
Model-actor Paris Jackson said that she regularly experiences social anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder after being followed by paparazzi for years because of her famous family.
“It’s always been pretty gnarly, my social anxiety. I experience audio hallucinations with camera clicks and severe paranoia,” Jackson told Willow Smith during a special one-on-one episode of “Red Table Talk” on Facebook Watch, released on Wednesday.
Jackson also said that she has been going to therapy for “a lot of things,” including the false perception of sounds, reports Business Insider.
Jackson, the 23-year-old daughter of the late musician Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, has been the subject of media attention since she was a child.
“I’ll hear a trash bag rustling and I flinch and panic. It’s just standard PTSD,” she said.
Jackson and her two brothers, Prince Michael Jackson and Bigi Jackson often wore face masks that partly or completely concealed their faces in public.
