Overview
- In a TikTok video posted Tuesday, the 27-year-old demonstrates a perforated nasal septum and describes a loud whistling when she breathes.
- Jackson says the injury dates to when she was about 20 during a period of heavy drug use, without specifying a particular substance.
- She declines surgical repair because doctors told her it would require painkillers, which she wants to avoid to protect her recovery.
- She marked five years clean from drugs and alcohol in January and has previously discussed struggles with addiction, depression, and self-harm.
- Using the video as a cautionary message, she urges young people to steer clear of drugs and illustrates the damage by noting the hole is large enough to pass a spaghetti noodle through.
