Paris Hilton reveals details of alleged sexual abuse at a school in Utah


Paris Hilton said workers at Provo Canyon School in Utah would forcefully “do cervical examinations” for her and other students.

“Very late at night, it would be around 3 or 4 in the morning, they would take me and other girls to this room and do a medical check,” says Hilton, 41, in New York Times article published Tuesday.

She went on to say that “it wasn’t even with the doctor” but rather that “it was a few different staff members who made us lie on the table and put our fingers in us.”

As her voice trembled during the video interview, a socialite continued, “And I don’t know what they were doing, but it was definitely not a doctor. And it was really scary and this is what I have really been blocking for many years. “

She continued, “But now she’s coming back all the time and I’m thinking about it. And now, looking back as an adult, it was definitely sexual abuse. “

Provo Canyon representatives did not immediately respond to the comment.

The Simple Life star also detailed her terrifying experience in detail on Twitterwriting that she was “forced to lie on a padded table”, spread her legs and undergo “cervical examination”.

“I cried as they held me down and said,” No! ” They just said, “Shut up. Be quiet. Stop struggling or you will go to the Obs, “Hilton wrote, adding,” It is important to open up to these painful moments so that I can recover and help end the abuse. “

When she was 16, Rick and Kathy Hilton sent their eldest daughter to Provo Canyon School in Utah because of her rebellious nature. She was there for 11 months before coming home.

In 2020, the artist “Stars Are Blind” released the documentary “The Is Paris”, presenting a larger picture of her difficult youth and traumatic experiences in the boarding school.

“I knew it was going to be worse than anywhere else,” Paris said of the school in Utah, adding: “It was supposed to be a school, but [classes] were not of interest at all. From the moment I woke up until I went to bed, he was screaming in my face all day, screaming at me, constant torture.

Paris shared about her struggles at school with three former classmates who confirmed the heiress’s allegations of abuse. The now successful businesswoman shared in a documentary that participants were force-fed, held in shackles as punishment, and sometimes thrown into solitary confinement for as long as “20 hours a day.”

“I had panic attacks and cried every day,” she added. “I was just so unhappy. I felt like a prisoner and I hated life, ”she said.

Paris’s seemingly hellish school experience ended when she turned 18 in 1999 and returned to New York, refusing to speak of her experience until her last years.

“I was so grateful to get out of there that I didn’t even want to mention it. It was just something I was ashamed of and didn’t want to talk about.

House of Wax actress teamed up with Unsilenced.org and Breaking Code Silence in May to call for federal action against these facilities, speaking to 200 other survivors in Washington.

Paris worked with lawmakers to push through legislation including the “Troubled Teen” Industry Act – SB127 – which was signed in 2021. The bill was intended to increase government oversight of Utah’s youth treatment centers.

In May, she visited Washington with lawmakers to assist Federal Accountability Act for the Congregate Care Act who intends to further investigate alleged abuses in these facilities and to create a charter of rights for youth in congregation care.

Today, Paris and other survivors continue to advocate change.
