In an explosive interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris, has opened up about her past drug addiction and suicide attempts, as well as revealing that she was sexually assaulted at the age of 14 and, possibly most shocking of all, that she believes her father was murdered.

In her first big interview - which was conducted by Rolling Stone journalist Brian Hiatt and is accompanied by a shoot by acclaimed photographer David LaChapelle - the 18-year-old hasn't held back, and has spilled the beans on what life is like when your father is one of the most famous men on the planet.

Here are some of her most shocking claims...

In June 2013, Paris hit headlines when she was rushed to hospital following a suicide attempt. She was just 15 at the time.

Opening up to Rolling Stone about the incident, Paris admitted that at the time of the attempt she was both depressed and in the throes of drug addiction. She also confirmed that this wasn't the first time she'd tried to take her own life.

"It was just once that it became public," she told Rolling Stone, before adding, "It was just self-hatred, low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn't do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore."

Paris admitted that many of her problems were due to the fact that, following her fathers death in 2009, she tried to "grow up too fast" and fell in with a bad crowd.

However, she also revealed - for the first time - that at the age of 14 she was sexually assaulted by "a complete stranger."

Talking about the attack, she told Rolling Stone: "I don't wanna give too many details. But it was not a good experience at all, and it was really hard for me, and, at the time, I didn't tell anybody."

However, possibly the most shocking claim in the interview is that Paris believes her father, Michael, was murdered.

She told Rolling Stone: "It's obvious. All arrows point to that. It sounds like a total conspiracy theory and it sounds like bullshit, but all real fans and everybody in the family knows it. It was a setup. It was bullshit."
