Paris Jackson: I Didn"t Even Know Janet Jackson Would Be Performing ...
Fans and viewers watched in awe as Janet Jackson totally owned the stage at the Billboard Music Awards.
But when the camera panned to some of her family in the audience, some folks were surprised and even saddened to see that Paris Jackson was nowhere to be seen.
Paris responded to the flurry of questions, but she’d really prefer for intrusive fans to mind their own beeswax. That’s fair.
Taking to social media, Paris writes:
“Dear social media followers, friends, stalkers, lovers and haters, and fellow moonwalkers:”
That is such a sweet and fun way of addressing everyone, including fans of her late father.
“Please do not tell me/demands/try to control how I handle my relationship with the people in my life.”
That is a very fair boundary to set with her fans. And she gets more specific.
“Specifically my family.”
Though she has used social media to clap back at family members who think she’s going to die, that was her conversation to reveal.
She says that her family’s highs and lows are very personal.
“As amazing and as s–tty as things can be, it is no one’s business but ours.”
But she acknowledges why so many fans lose perspective when it comes to the Jackson family.
“I understand that some of you feel some sort of connection or need to be a part of our lives considering you watched us grow up.”
She understands, but she’s very politely laying down the law.
“However, I am handling my situation exactly how my father did.”
Meaning that she is not going to spill specific details about family troubles.
“And I am happy keeping it that way.”
She emphasizes that, even when there are problems (which she isn’t denying), she loves her family.
“I will always have love and respect for my family. ALWAYS.”
Speaking to her fans who want to know more, she makes it clear that even a family that is considered American Royalty has normal family problems.
“Every family has their moments of trauma, heartbreak, separation, love, oneness, tribe, pain, everything. EVERY FAMILY.”
But because she is famous, their issues are consumed by millions.
“My family, specifically, and a good number of others … well, our drama is broadcasted worldwide through media.”
Just because something is widely reported does not make it unusual, however.
“But that doesn’t mean our family issues are any different from yours.”
Except, of course, in one major way.
“Ours are just made public.”
Paris continues, saying:
“Every level has another devil.”
That is a quote that is sometimes attributed to Tyrese Gibson.
“Every life has their own s–t to deal with.”
Truth.
“We ain’t inferior or superior to y’all. We’re all f–king human.”
She then takes that we’re all human line to shame the people who are demanding that she divulge family drama.
“So let’s act like it.”
She emphasizes that she loves her fans, however.
“I appreciate any and every person reading this.”
She also makes it clear that she’s not whining about her life, in case there was any doubt.
“And I’m grateful for everything in my life, positive and negative.”
When one tabloid took to Twitter to say that Paris’ statement hadn’t really cleared up anything, Paris responded.
Understandably, she got a little heated.
“And you clearly didn’t get the message. mind. your. own.”
Business. That’s what she wants people to mind.
“Should i spell it out for you in wooden alphabet blocks?”
We somehow doubt that this would make it clearer.
“No one told me about the performance or award. not my family or my management so take a hike dude.”
She has revealed recently that some members of her family have not called or otherwise contacted her for some time.
For those still curious about her business, Paris did offer a little further context to why she isn’t always in the loop on every single thing that members of her extended family get up to.
“i also have like a job and like a life i’m trying to provide for myself n my doggo.”
She’s a model and an actress, folks.
It is totally okay to wonder about what’s going on in the family of people whom you admire.
But when all that’s going on is some behind-the-scenes family drama and nobody’s getting hurt, try to avoid demanding answers from your faves.
They’re real people with real feelings.

Adele Cancels Remainder of Tour: Is She Done Performing Forever?!
Adele is, if we’re being honest, a beautiful gift that we’ve never deserved.
But still, even though we know we don’t deserve her and all her glory, that doesn’t mean we’re ready for her to leave us anytime soon.
Unfortunately, it seems like we don’t have much of a choice, and thanks to a few new updates from the woman herself, we’re starting to prepare ourselves for the worst.
For our first piece of evidence, we have a note that Adele wrote and included in her tour program for her series of concerts at Wembley Stadium.
For the big finale of her current tour, she’s doing four shows at Wembley — or she was. More on that in a moment.
In the note, she wrote that “Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn’t suit me particularly well.”
“I’m a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I’m dramatic and have a terrible history of touring. Until now that is!”
She wrote that she’d done 119 shows in the tour, plus the four at Wembley, and “I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favorite artists have had on me live.”
“And I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don’t know if I’ll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home.”
And there it is. Cuts like a knife, doesn’t it?
So according to that note, the fans that managed to get tickets to the finale of her tour are super, super lucky.
Or they were if they caught the first two shows.
Yesterday, after playing her second show, she made a heartfelt announcement on Twitter that she’d be canceling the remaining two shows.
Meaning that the tour is over, and there’s a good chance that we’ll never get another chance to see her tour again.
In the post she wrote on Twitter, Adele explained that “The last two nights at Wembley have been the biggest and best shows of my life.”
She said she never thought she could pull off a show that big — classic Adele adorableness.
“However,” she continued, “I’ve struggled vocally both nights. I had to push a lot harder than I normally do.”
She said that, after going to see her doctor, she learned that her vocal cords have been damaged, and “on medical advice I am unable to perform over the weekend.”
It’s not the first time she’s experienced trouble from her vocal cords — after experiencing some similar issues, she had to take a good deal of time off for surgery to repair the problem in 2011.
This time around, she told her fans that “To say I’m heartbroken would be a complete understatement.”
She’s been trying steroids and other various treatments, and she said that she’s considered pushing on with the show anyway, but if she did, she likely couldn’t even finish the set.
“I’m so desperate to do them that I’ve even considered miming, just to be in front of you and be with you,” she added.
That would be a whole new kind of precious, but she’s decided against that route.
“I’m sorry,” she wrote to her fans. “I’m sorry for your disappointment. I’m sorry for the nights you would have had with your loved ones and the memories you would have made together.”
“I’m sorry for the time and money you’ve spent organizing your trips. You know I would not make this decision lightly.”
Poor, sweet Adele also said that she’s really struggling with coming to terms that she won’t get to do those last two shows, but that she’ll figure out a way to make it right.
For the time being, she said that returns will be offered if the shows can’t be rescheduled, and she’ll have more information soon.
“I’m devastated,” she wrote at the end of her note. “I’m sorry. I love you I’m so sorry, please forgive me.”
How is this woman so perfect? And how can we go on if she never performs again?
