Days leading to her suicide attempt, Paris Jackson, 15, reportedly had a huge fight with her brother Prince Jackson, 16.
The siblings were said to be very close with each other, especially after their father Michael Jackson died in 2009. But they allegedly grew apart after Paris reconnected with their mother Debbie Rowe, who gave them up in a multi-million-dollar divorce settlement with MJ years ago, reported Aceshowbiz.
"Paris and Prince were always so insanely close until Debbie came back in the picture, and Paris wanted to get close with her. Paris wanted her mom in her life, but Paris was younger and Prince remembers all of the awful things Michael told them about Debbie. Prince feels Paris is betraying their father by getting close to Debbie.
"Paris made her own decision to get to know her mom and found she really liked her. She loves the stories Debbie has told her about her dad," a source said, adding that Prince "has these massive fights with her and calls Paris a backstabber for getting to know 'that woman'."
Paris was first spotted spending time with Debbie, 54, on her 15th birthday. The mother and daughter duo was spotted hanging out at a pony ranch, enjoying sushi and attending a local beauty pageant in Debbie's hometown of Temecula, California. There was even a rumor that the teen considered to move in with her biological mom to "have a more normal life."
Paris was taken to hospital Wednesday, June 5 after slitting her wrist with a kitchen knife and taking as many as 20 ibuprofen pills.
