Paris Jackson dismissed accusations her dad Michael Jackson was a child molester as “conspiracy theories”, calling his supposed victims liars.
In an unearthed interview the 22-year-old finally addresses the rumours that have tainted the late King of Pop’s legacy for decades.
And in stunning scenes shown on the Jacksonology YouTube channel, she insisted the singer was innocent and simply misunderstood by most of the world.
Filmed when she was 14, Paris said: “A lot of people are jealous of him. They will do anything to put him down, whether it is make up rumours, take him to court with lies. Everyone wants something.

“He told us that there were a lot of bad people out there, and he taught us a little about conspiracies and things like that.
“The older we got, the more we figured things out and stuff. I will always defend him.”
Jackson was cleared of all counts in the case alleging the abuse of cancer survivor Gavin Arvizo at the age of 13, who was at the centre of 2003 documentary Living With Michael Jackson.
She was also asked about her favourite memories with her superstar dad and added: “We had a lot.
“There would be a lot in Bahrain where we would hang out on the roof, or in Ireland just walking through the forest – which was fun.
“I would probably say he was happiest when he was in disguise.
“Like we went to Disneyland several times, we would be in disguise and he could be normal – there would be no one bothering him.”
