LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s ex-wife broke down in tears and sobs yesterday as she testified about their daughter Paris’ recent suicide attempt, saying the teen still hasn’t come to grips with her pop-star pop’s fatal overdose three years ago.
Debbie Rowe wept on the witness stand during cross-examination about the June 5 incident in which Paris Jackson, 15, gobbled down a bunch of Motrin pills and slashed her arm.
“I almost lost my daughter!” Rowe wailed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
“She tried to kill herself! She is devastated. She has no life. She doesn’t feel she has a life anymore.”
Rowe, a heavyset blonde, got so emotional the judge called a recess after which Rowe didn’t return to court.
Rowe was married to the King of Pop from 1996 to 1999 and is the mother of his two eldest children, Paris and her older brother Prince, 16.
Michael was also the biological dad of 11-year-old Prince Michael II, aka “Blanket.”
Rowe was subpoenaed by concert promoter AEG Live, which is being sued by Jacko’s mom, Katherine, and his kids for negligence in the hiring of Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for giving the singer a fatal overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol in 2009.
