Paris Jackson is attempting to challenge the executors of her father's estate. Earlier this week, it was reported that her petition hit a snag, with a judge in Los Angeles striking part of Paris' complaint.

Paris Jackson and the Jackson estate are involved in some legal drama

According to Paris' team, she plans to refile the motion. "This order is limited to minor procedural issues and does not change the facts: the pattern of behavior displayed by the executors and their attorneys raises significant red flags, and Paris will continue working to ensure her family is treated fairly. We will be submitting an updated filing shortly," said the spokesperson to PEOPLE.

The legal issue began this summer, when Paris, as a beneficiary of her father's estate, said that she was "concerned" with the estate's executors' behavior, including some "premium payments" made for "unrecorded attorney time."

"Even worse, these payments appear, at least in part, to consist of lavish gratuities bestowed upon already well-compensated counsel," read the court documents, as reported by PEOPLE.

At the time of Michael Jackson's death, he had accumulated a substantial amount of debt that transferred to his estate, with sources claiming he owed over $500 million. His kids, Paris, Bigi, and Prince, are beneficiaries of the estate. 

Paris Jackson opens up to her followers

Earlier this week, Paris opened up about her struggles with her followers, including the damage she experienced due to drug addiction. 

In her Instagram stories, Paris was opening up about a recent dream she'd had. She then went off track, speaking honestly about a topic she'd "never actually addressed" before. With her phone's camera, she shared a look at the inside of her nose. “That is because I have what’s called a perforated septum,” she said. “It’s slightly different from a deviated septum - and it’s what you think it is. Don’t do drugs, kids," she quipped.

“I’m not gonna tell anyone what to do, but I don’t recommend it because it ruined my life.”While the perforated septum results in certain physical challenges, Paris shared that she didn't have plans to get surgery, since that could pose problems for her sobriety. "I don’t wanna f*** with that.”  

Paris has been sober for six years, a topic that she's discussed in the past. “I didn't just get my life back. I got a better one,” she said at the 35th annual Friendly House Awards Luncheon. “I say it's funny, I feel like getting sober was kind of like getting into a car accident because everything I shoved in the back seat moved forward on impact, and today I'm learning to navigate life on life's terms."
