"This is a child who was born with several health issues including #DownSyndrome…"

In a lengthy Instagram post, Stephanie said she was "completely blown away from the support my son Farad J. Mills has received [since] we released his book last week." She went on to write:

"This is a child who was born with several health issues including #DownSyndrome…But God!!! I have always told my son he can do and be whoever or whatever he wants to be. Now, he is an author who came up with his own vision and idea to write a book."

Some were just happy to see Stephanie in a better mood than she was last month when she slammed at Michael Jackson's accusers after discrepancies in the documentary "Leaving Neverland" surfaced.

Stephanie, who was Michael Jackson's friend and ex-girlfriend, had used her Instagram platform to call out the King of Pop's naysayers. Her post demanded apologies from the film's director Dan Reed and accused HBO of profiteering from slander.

She even aimed shots at Oprah Winfrey, who interviewed Jackson's accusers, Wade Robson, and James Safechuck.
