Paris Jackson said her father, Michael Jackson, imposed strict rules at home to give his children a more normal and grounded upbringing despite the family’s fame. She described his requirement that they wear masks in public as a protective measure intended to preserve privacy and shield them from public attention.

Jackson also recalled that she and her siblings had to complete homework and chores before weekend activities, while television and films were limited. Her comments portray Michael Jackson’s parenting as structured and protective, contrasting with the highly public nature of his career.
