Overview
- Jackson detailed on Jack Osbourne’s podcast on Tuesday, May 26, that alcohol and drugs changed how she treated people and made her “a very vindictive person.”
- She said those actions followed “years and years” of self-hatred and long‑standing struggles with self‑harm and disordered eating that began before her first drink or drug use.
- Jackson confirmed she entered treatment several times both before and after she began her recovery and that she marked five years sober in January 2025.
- She warned that sobriety has not fixed everything and described recovery as ongoing maintenance that requires new coping skills and daily work.
- As a public figure and the daughter of Michael Jackson, she has used interviews and social posts to candidly recount her past and to support others facing addiction.
