Insiders say stress over testifying in her father's wrongful death lawsuit drove her to try to end it...

From NY Daily News
The pressure of testifying in the high-stakes legal showdown over Michael Jackson’s death drove Paris Jackson to attempt suicide by slitting her wrist, sources close to the family told the Daily News.
The King of Pop’s only daughter was due to take the stand by the end of the month in the billion-dollar wrongful death lawsuit pitting the Jackson family against AEG, the promoter of his doomed run of concerts. But rehearsals for the testimony have worn on the 15-year-old who watched her superstar father become a shell of himself before he died, a source said.
“Every time she speaks about Michael, she tears up,” said the source, referring to the teen’s interactions with family lawyers.
“She’s just a wreck. She was getting more and more emotional about having to take the stand as the day gets closer,” the source added. “This is a plea for help. She is broken.”
That source said that Paris cut one of her wrists multiple times early Wednesday at her Los Angeles area home following a series of ominous tweets. A second source confirmed she had cut her wrist.
