Here is everything you need to know.
Paris Hilton shares her sexual abuse story
Paris Hilton recently sat down with the New York Times magazine where she recalled the sexual abuse she suffered at the Provo Canyon School in Utah.
She said, ‘Very late at night, this would be around like 3 or 4 in the morning, they would take myself and other girls into this room and they would perform medical exams.’
I opened up in a @NYTimes video about something I’ve never discussed before. At Provo Canyon School, I was woken up in the middle of the night by male staff who ushered me into a private room and performed cervical exams on me in the middle of the night. https://t.co/mWxF8Pvmaw

The 41-year-old socialite added, ‘This wasn’t even with a doctor. It was with a couple of different staff members, where they would have us lay on the table and put their fingers inside of us. And I don’t know what they were doing, but it was definitely not a doctor and it was really scary.’
Moreover, Hilton’s voice was quavering as she continued, ‘It was really scary, and it’s something that I really had blocked out for many years. But it’s coming back all the time now, and I think about it. And now, looking back as an adult, that was definitely sexual abuse.’
Paris Hilton continues her alleged abuse story on Twitter
Paris Hilton took to Twitter to give a detailed version of the incident.
She wrote, ”Sleep-deprived & heavily medicated, I didn’t understand what was happening.’
Furthermore, The Simple Life star claimed, ‘I was forced to lie on a padded table, spread my legs & submit to cervical exams. I cried while they held me down & said, “No!” They just said, “Shut up. Be quiet. Stop struggling or you’ll go to Obs.”‘
If you didn’t know, Rick and Kathy Hilton sent their 16 years old daughter to Provo Canyon because of her rebellious behavior and attitude. She spent eleven months in the boarding school before she went back home.
Hilton has previously painted a bigger picture of the traumatic experience she went through at the boarding school in her 2020 documentary The Is Paris.
Additionally, three of the Stars Are Blind artist’s former classmates joined her to corroborate her abuse claims.
At that time, the heiress revealed that the students were force-fed medications and were restrained to be punished. She further shared that sometimes they would be tossed into solitary confinement for ’20 hours a day.’
