Paris Jackson blasts photographer over TV interview
Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has slammed a fashion photographer for sharing snaps of the teen and her boyfriend on the set of a sexy photoshoot without their permission.
The 18-year-old and her punk rocker boyfriend Michael Snoddy posed for their first joint photo session with Troy Jensen last month (Aug16), when Paris shared a few behind the scenes shots on social media.
This week (begs12Sep16), Jensen allowed editors at U.S. news show
Entertainment Tonight to broadcast the images, in which Paris shows
off a rocker glam look as she bites Snoddy's lower lip in one edgy
shot, while another features her man sitting on the ground
completely naked, except for black shoes and socks, wrapping his
legs around Paris' feet as she stands tall in a red dress, with a
spiked leather jacket hanging around her arms.
Other pictures show Paris sitting in a bathtub with a topless
Snoddy, while the Street Drum Corps musician kisses her neck from
behind in another snap as she wears a distressed blue T-shirt
bearing her father's name.
In an accompanying interview, Jensen claimed the young couple,
which recently dismissed engagement rumours, couldn't keep their
hands off each other throughout the shoot.
"I set them in the shot, and she's wearing this red dress with this
leather jacket. She had this black lip, and they would just start
making out like crazy," he told ET. "So after like five or six
shots, he would have black lip(stick) all over his face, all over
his ears."
"We had to keep breaking to clean them up and re-touch up the
make-up and wipe all the black lipstick off Snoddy's face," he
continued. "They were kissing, biting, pulling, hugging... I mean,
I was just snapping the picture."
"She would hold his face and bite his lips and kiss him. She wasn't
worried about what anyone thought on set, or how it looked."
However, Paris has taken issue with Jensen's comments because she
claims they were just doing what the photographer asked of
them.
She took to Twitter on Wednesday (14Sep16) and posted a screenshot
of Jensen discussing the pictures on TV.
"you forgot to tell everyone about the part where you TOLD US to do
everything we did in the shoot, sweetheart (sic)," she wrote
alongside the snap, before taking aim at him for going public with
the photos.
"not to mention the fact that he gave those pictures to ET and
didn't ask for my, or snoddy's, approval on any of them," she
complained. "i mean after this, what model is going to want him to
shoot them if they know he's THIS untrustworthy?"
Jensen has yet to respond to Paris' Twitter outburst.
