Some would consider the lengths Michael Jackson went to protect his kids extreme, but his family understood his reasoning.

The King of Pop famously made his children wear masks in public, much to the confusion of his fans.

After his passing, his kids and his mother, Katherine Jackson, revealed the purpose of the covers: to give them privacy.

His daughter, Paris Jackson, was also homeschooled for the first 12 years of her life, "which means that the only interactions I'd ever had were with family members or other adults," she said

The isolation meant she "didn't have social skills. I had to force myself to learn so fast."

Even now Paris lives a fairly isolated life, but that hasn't stopped her from "learning how to communicate."

"I think I've gotten pretty good at it," she said.

Paris harbors no ill will toward her father's methods.

In fact, she consistently calls her father her idol—she has nine tattoos dedicated to him—and understands exactly why he chose to conceal their faces in public.

"He didn't want anyone to see what we looked like," "That way we could have what he didn't, which was a normal childhood."

The "Thriller" crooner's son, Prince Jackson, also has opened up about his father's choice.

While he can understand why it would seem odd, at the time he didn't think anything of it. He was a child, after all.

"My dad spoke to me like an adult. He told us the reason for the masks was he wanted us to have our own life without him," Prince stated
