Jackson went on to reveal how she now attends regular therapy sessions to help her cope with it.

Elsewhere in the chat, Jackson opened up about her relationship with her mum, Debbie Rowe.
She said: “It’s cool. Like, getting to know her, seeing how similar we are, getting into what kind of music she likes, and she really likes country and folk. I sent her some of the stuff that I’m working on that have, like, banjos in them.”
She added: “We look a lot alike. It’s just cool having her as a friend. It’s very chill, which I love. It’s the perfect word to describe it.”
