Michael Jackson's daughter Paris was driven to attempt suicide because of the pressure of testifying in the billion-dollar lawsuit.

Paris was due to take the stand by the end of the month in the wrongful death lawsuit pitting the Jackson family against AEG.

A source said that rehearsals for the testimony worn on the 15-year-old, the New York Daily News reported.

The source said that every time Paris speaks about Michael, she starts crying.

The insider said that she was getting more emotional about having to take the stand in the billion-dollar lawsuit, as the day got closer.

That source said that Paris cut one of her wrists multiple times early Wednesday at her Los Angeles area home following a series of ominous tweets. A second source confirmed she had cut her wrist with a kitchen knife.
