After a judicious teaser to announce the release of This is Paris , her new documentary, Paris Hilton has detailed the abuse she suffered as a teenager. It all happened at boarding school, where her parents had sent her when she was 17, worried about the turn their daughter's life was taking. Raised in New York City, The Simple Life star got her clubbing habits early on, which Rick and Kathy Hilton didn't like at all.
The young Paris Hilton was admitted to Provo Canyon School, an establishment that presents itself as a "care center" for disturbed adolescents, with therapies - individual or group - while following the school curriculum. “From sunrise to sunset, I was shouted at, a daily torture. (…) The team was telling me horrible things. They constantly made me feel bad about myself and harassed me. I believe breaking us was their goal. And they were physically violent, they beat us and strangled us. They wanted to instill fear in children so that we were too terrified to disobey them, ”the reality TV star told People .
No comment
Paris Hilton's accusations are corroborated in the documentary by three other former students. Among the other abuses denounced, the 39-year-old heiress mentions solitary confinement which could last "up to 20 hours". Paris Hilton also denounces the pressure undergone not to tell what she was going through. "They would snatch the phone from us or steal the letters I was writing telling me no one would believe me." The team told parents we were lying. My parents never had any idea what was going on, ”adds the heiress.
The institution, for its part, told the publication that it was not commenting on the events that occurred before August 2000, when the school was bought. Paris Hilton, who left in 1999 after 11 months, now wishes to "become a voice for children and those who have become adults who have had similar experiences" and "to close" these establishments which promise parents to re-educate their children.
