WATCH: Paris Jackson breaks down in video against cyber bullying

Cape Town – Paris Jackson has hit out at cyber bullies for harassing her.

The 18-year-old pleaded with online haters to leave her alone and to stop the hate in a now deleted Instagram story.

Paris recalled being bullied to the extent that she tried to commit suicide when she was 14-years-old.

She then took a 2-year break from social media to get away from the bullying but it has seemingly not changed.

With tears in her eyes she said, “When I was fourteen I got so much hatred that, uhm, I tried to kill myself.

“And then I took like a two year break from social media and people asked me to come back, to make my Instagram public again and I did and nothing changed.”

She then went on to talk about how Justin Bieber deleted his Instagram account because of all the hate he receives.

She said: “Justin Bieber went to a downward spiral because everybody that he dates gets so much hate.”

Paris later took to Twitter to share her views of social media.
