I really think that she does it when she's feeling uncomfortable or vulnerable. Or a kind of trained behavior when there is a camera. The part where she met her schoolmates from that school in Utah was just too painful. I didn't really know Paris. I was too young at the height of her "popularity" (notoriety??) but after watching her documentary out of curiosity, I kinda get her. It is kinda a great thing that she came from a really rich family that she can overfunction (create businesses, fly around to DJ, etc) cos everybody else, I think, would have a hard time coping from the things she experienced. Damn.
of course she is not as stupid as she portrayed herself, but she is of average intelligence at best. I can't believe people suddenly think she is some genius
Am I the only one who thinks the most disturbing part of the entire documentary is the reaction of Paris' own mother ??? Your daughter your own child tells you she STILL has nightmares bcs of what YOU put her through and you're still like.. Meh..
She don’t look like she’s too concerned 🤔 But $$ has a way to make a lot of things forgetful. I know one thing, you can’t take Anything with you when you pass on, you just better be right with the Lord and repent and be saved I’ll be a lot richer when I die Amen 🙏
I'm going thru this right now with my 15 yo. I won't be sending her to Provo Utah Prison "boarding school." Instead, I'm talking w my girl, checking in on her every 2-3 hours, working with a therapist. This is not easy!!! I LOVE you Paris HIlton. Your spirit is POWERFUL and I am grateful for your story. Thank you.
I feel like the parents were duped. They are use to throwing $ at problems. This problem was HUGE and I’m sure her parents spent time f r e a k i n g about the decision. Who are we to judge? Everyone has their lessons on planet earth. The mother shared her SHAME. She bowed her head. The whole thing, staged or not - is disgraceful and believe me, they know it now!!
@Devin Patterson Still, her mother LITERALLY paid someone to KIDNAPPED HER, she was screaming, not knowing what was going on and her mother has the courage to say "It was our way to save you" like, ma'am have you thought abt sending your child to a psychologist????????????? That would be easier and less traumatized to your daughters
Her mother reminds me SOOOO much of mine 😪 Kathy wasn't sad for Paris she was sad for herself. I doubt it was only PCS that has caused Paris' issues after witnessing her mother's reaction or lack thereof
same. Actually i like her goofy side more now hehehe. But it really break my heart kids gone through that provo back than and wow....... it traumatized them till today.... its not just paris....... its sad at the same time, i hope provo school really have evolved away from what it have used to be.
@@kingsufi6164 Completely agree there should be some kind of consquences for these monsters , tramatising young people which has affected them for their whole life
I felt the same way. It's a beautiful documentary of her telling it like it was and is today. I kept skipping over watching, the documentary, numerous times and then I watched Drew Barrymore interview her, who has also had her struggles. Decided to watch the documentary and now I have a complete different feeling about Paris. I give her a lot of credit, and the gals that were in there with her, for coming forward with their story. I hope this will help them with healing from this devastating time in their life.
I read her book when I was a high schooler (or middle school I don’t remember) and she was smart in that book too even though the book was pretty superficial.
If you're smart, you're going to show that you're smart, unless you're a brilliant performance artist like Andy Kaufman. Guaranteed she's cooking up some sort of comeback/new scent/album.
She has hadnt us fooled. Everyone who really has watched her TV series with Nicole already knows that she has a brain and she's not a dumb blonde. She's funny and very kind 🙂 I'm quite shocked when ppl think she's a dumb blonde acting like a princess.
She had some fooled... some of us who been through similar situations as her did the same exact thing as soon as we were old enough to start experiencing the world. You get so lost in that you loose yourself and its scary 😔
What is shocking to me is the fact that her parents with all available resources sent her to this horrific school without investigating what kind of place it was. It's beyond negligence and basically unforgivable. She was young and completely unprotected and might of been traumatized and abused in a way she can't even mention. The horror of it all. Just hope she can recover and have a normal life.
Back then there was no social media, my best friend was sent to on in Mexico her senior year on the recommendation of her therapist. Her parents were mortified to find out how she was treated.
Probable narcs. Thinking more about their reputation and how Paris being out of control was ruining their image vs the consequences and emotional implications of sending her away
I mean, keep in mind that it wasn't that easy to look up stuff online like you can today. They prob just found a brochure somewhere which looked super amazing.
@@vickynguyen6466 yet, they did agree to having her kidnapped in the middle of the night... That's a massive form of abuse and they agreed to it back then.
What she is saying is true. Earlier today I watched a completely unrelated interview of Adam Eget on Joe Rogan’s podcast. He talked about an abusive facility his parents sent him to for behavioral issues. He name dropped Paris as one of the well-known patients (there are others). They would punish you with sleep deprivation and other methods to “fix” you. So I feel for her. And she has come a long way.
There's an entire industry of places like that which profit off of severe abuse of children every single day. There's a community of survivors on Reddit. I hope her story blows it all wide open and starts an end to a despicable practice.
Sadly, most parents believe that they are "saving" their kids by sending them to places like that. It's a wonder more kids aren't killed with that kind of abusive 'treatment.'
Paris is a survivor that’s all that matters, she has been moving on with her life, I just hope she’s right with the Lord because you can’t take anything with you when you pass on !
There are tons and tons of people with these stories. Just search Provo Canyon School. I remember watching videos several years about the school. I was with a friend that told me about Paris' new documentary and said she was sent to an abusive school. Low and behold it's the same school I had heard about years and years ago. There are schools like this that are even worse outside the US where American parents send their kids thinking they will fix them, but they are just horribly abused in a jungle setting. Nowhere to escape to.
@@Brandon-Sharp yeah her mere existence certainly helps me pay my mortgage ???!! whilst longing for a life of unearned wealth and privilege just like hers. If she had a brain she would be dangerous. super lucky lol
Gilliman not everything is about personal financial gain. Her mere existence brings a bit of happiness to some, myself included. No, smiling from her humor or relating to something she says doesn’t pay my rent, but why is that a motivating factor to what I like? Gilliman, sounds like you are a bit frustrated with your own financial situation since you mentioned your mortgage and then made a comment on your opinion about her financial privileges.. projecting your frustration on others isn’t hurting anyone but you.
Elizabeth Trainer oh please! And why should we care Paris? Get over yourself. Talentless, spoiled, entitled and elitist. Bye. Why are you even on my feed ?
@@despinakollas So many haters like yourself because your life must be so bitter and low thinking. Go find your joy an happiness so your life is full of love!
Despina Kollas you literally are believing the exact same thing in the media. If I have something to say to you that you think isn’t you you’d feel offensive so get over your self
I can't believe they allowed people to take her from her bed room and pulled her out. While parents watched!! Plus didn't they check the school or what you called it how the place was reviewed and went there to see how things were ... no communication?? Come on parents. Be a parent!!
Maybe the mother is suggesting you take Paris’ words with a pinch of salt, what’s wrong with that? Perhaps Paris told her to say it even, we don’t know what goes on behind scenes, but we do know Paris has manipulated the press and public before.
In 2017 I was sent to a place called Heritage Schools in Utah for two years. If we didn’t act good there, we would be sent to provo canyon as some sort of punishment. We were all terrified of provo canyon so we acted as good as possible to not go there. I hope that shows that provo canyon is not a fun place at ALL. I believe her completely.
She is being honest to the core, you can just tell by her demeanor. Honestly a more human side to Paris Hilton - I wish the world (including myself) knew a long time ago. Definition of not to judge a book by its cover.
I am a mum to two little boys ( ages four and one ) .... And Paris's mother gave me chills. I would not let a stranger come near my children let alone touch, hit or choke them no mater what kind of behavioural issues they might have. To be abandoned by your own parents and sent off like a neglected person is abuse and she is has made it through it... Not only made through it but also she sits on the throne of her own empire.
it's Trueee. She's not a professional. It's different when Ellen or Oprah interview their guests. A host must be neutral at least if you can't show your empathy.
She's absolutely right, she is a totally different person than I thought. VERY intelligent with incredible strength. Gorgeous person inside given the circumstances. She deserves this vindication.
unfortunatly no one really cares... i have lived in an organisation that was supposed to be there for me and help me but they let someone destroy my life... bullying in any shape or form was not allowed according to their rules but they just let it happen... the people who worked there went as far as telling me i was not even allowed to ignore that person... i HAD TO accept eveything he did to me... ''we will never do anything about what he does to you'' they said... ''you will accept everything or else you will have a huge problem'' like paris says, it sounds impossible to believe... it was so strange and extreme that i genuinly thought i was dreaming... ofcourse no one can be like this in reality i thought... now that i experience not being able to go on with my life because of it i seek help but no one cares... all that people want to do (psychologists etc.) is helping me dealing with my emotions, not at all accepting or acknowledging its real... i dont even blame them so much, those people are TRUE EVIL... its literally impossible for normal people to comprehand being real...
How awful is this interviewer, i mean you can see how much she dislikes Paris and how she judges her the entire time. I mean she is talking about her traumatic years in life and the traumas, but the only think this lady is seeing is still the blond Paris from TV.
I’m so proud of her for speaking up about these things. It’s never too late to speak up!! And just because she’s famous doesn’t mean she can’t go through hard things, and a lot of people let that fact go over their heads.
This interviewer looks at Paris as if she’s making fun of her. Not to mention her first question “with all that’s happening in the world should I even care about Paris Hilton?” What kind of rude question is that? She should be ashamed of herself. And Paris is so calm, poised and graced with patience and elegance.
She asked that in perspective of people choosing to watch her documentary instead of, say, the news or the election updates since there's a lot of craziness today. She wasn't insinuating that Paris isn't worthy of anything.
This interviewer is the worst, no compassion! Just cold and skeptical, I feel that way about Paris's mom too. Where is her outrage? Where is her responsibility? How can you send your child somewhere and just leave them, for a year, or more? Because they snuck out to go to parties?! She still is insisting she saved her life?! She traumatized her! I wish diane sawyer had done this instead. It reminded me of the jane Pauley/Madonna interview from long ago...just bad!
I mean that’s kinda her job as a journalist, just factual to the point reporting. And it didn’t seem to me like she was doubting anything that Paris was saying.
She’s one of the first people to ever support me and she’s encouraged me to follow my dreams and I’ve launched my first product. Her skincare line saved my skin from stress related acne. Paris if you see this just know I love you and my whole family is watching this is Paris on it’s release date together. Thank you so much for the gift of laughs, joy, self exploration and finding myself❤️❤️❤️❤️. I hope we finally get to meet and become true friends, because I don’t have any but my family, business partners & I hope you. Tabloids and trolls aren’t apart of me. You are the start!
I can't believe the interviewer practically glossed over the fact she was in PCS. Practically downplaying the well-known and horrific abuses that frequently occurred there.
I was scared to grow up because I thought I would become some nasty hateful person like a lot of adults I saw in my childhood. But so far I’m doing ok. It’s a struggle to try to keep calm and not give in to anxiety and all the emotions like stress and other things. So what I’m saying sometimes acting like a kid seems to be an easy way out.
Get After it just follow the Bible the words of God you’ll be perfectly fine and he loves children and there’s nothing wrong with having a little child like in You . I have not forgotten my past or my present .
I find the hating on this young lady dumb....This Paris turned her life around,became her own business woman,dj,line of perfumes eh ....You hardly ever hear ANYTHING about her in tabloids etc......Both her/Nicole did well for themselves
I don't think she's being honest. I think it's a (very good) excuse to distance herself from her old behavior. She just aged and changed and that's good and healthy but I don't think it was a character
@RanchoFundo I never liked any social influencer or entrepreneur like Paris Hilton. Somehow RU-vid recommended me her documentary film, and I watched it. Turns out she wasn't the only one who was abused in that Provo school. So if five persons speaking up against their abusers isn't being honest, what exactly is being honest according to your intellectual level?
Given her upbringing, and trauma she had a high risk of being an addict, and maybe even overdosing. But she chose to focus on building her independence, and doing whatever it took to gain freedom...now she feels secure enough in what she has built and is ready to talk publicly years later. Shes a strong woman
I’m so happy to see her living her best life. She has worked so hard to get where she is now... and has done it all while so many people have said hurtful things about or to her. She is a strong woman and I look up to her for that reason. 💪
“Paris. Looking for ACCEPTANCE from OTHERS is a lost cause. Validation is a LIE.” Accept yourself. LOVE yourself. And stop TRYING to find yourself by PUTTING yourself out there for OTHERS.
Why are you judging her experience? she is human, just like everyone else, trying her best and being a really good person in the process despite the trauma that she went through as a child. A lecture is less helpful than support and validation. Of course self-love is the end goal, but it helps when the world is with you not against you on that journey.
The first one to do anything is always the most hated. Paris Hilton did what Kim K., the Real Housewives, and all the rest of them are doing first. People love them but hate her. Not fair really but it always happens to the first one. Always knew she was smart. She is brilliant at marketing herself and making money. I am glad she is talking about Provo Canyon. A lot of kids got hurt at that school in the 80's and 90's. Did not realize she was there. Sorry she went through that abuse. 😢
Bit like Madonna. She paved the way for other artists. She went through tough experiences. Media turned on her. In fact media has turned on all those who were/are misunderstood. We need more empathy and kindness in this world.
I was a foster child, grew up in poverty, was sent to a wilderness camp at 13, it was abusive and very much ran like a military prison. I feel her pain. I still have nightmares over 30 years later. I hope she can help shut down these types of facilities.
Scary thing is its gotten so bad and rampant norm apparently there's been riots on earth for a long time already on this subject,, the news here in la recently was reporting Portland has been rioting 100 days st8 ,,
@@ratherbfishing455 just because they turned around doesn't mean they didn't suffer trauma or that sending kids off to facilities is a good thing. Easy to think it was a success if you personally didn't go through the torture.
She's not stupid. She never was. Maybe she chose to be famous in ways that many didn't like or thought was noble or exemplary, but she's a woman who went through very hard lessons about self worth and trust. So to answer the reporter's question about whether a story about Paris Hilton is important when there's covid around the world, the answer is yes. Maybe Paris Hilton the brand isn't, but the story she has to tell about not having people around her to to give strength and good advice when she was at her most vulnerable, only to end up doing something she regretted that demeaned her body and soul is very important, especially to young people now. Doesn't matter rich or poor --- she came from a family with millions who would spare no expense to turn her into the person they wanted her to be, and they chose the wrong way to do it and she paid that price. Fortunately for her, her wealth allowed her to change things around, and she's doing a good thing by sharing that story. I hope she acknowledges publicly that it is her wealth and privilege that has allowed her to have a second/third/fourth/etc. act and many who have gone down the same dark road don't get that. For those who are skeptical and say that she's doing this for publicity, I don't blame them because her track record of cheap publicity stunts speaks for itself. But when she talks about the sex tape and that it would never have happened had she not gone to that school --- I believe her.
If you Google, you can find the video where she uses the n-word, gay slurs and makes fun of someone for going to a public high school which is pretty ironic considering that she's a high school drop out.
I met Paris Hilton and Pia Getty at a Hospital Charity Dinner in Newport Beach Ca. My wife was a physician at the hospital. Ms. Hilton was intelligent, a conversationalist and was really educated on the needs of the hospital. I see the negative comments of the ignorant who don't realize she is a brand. She made herself into something more than a heiress... Jealousy and vegetating comes from the negative comments about Ms. Hilton...
Actually this type of story should be in the public eye. People that go to boarding school often have some type of bad memories/ trauma and there’s been many reports of power abuse in these type of schools. Mental abuse or how ever you wanna see it shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Maiden Laura I’m not even trying to be mean. There are people that have been through so much trauma that teachers being mean to you is kinda like okay...then what happened then that’s it....
You know after seeing Paris’s film. You don’t know if Kim Kardashian and anyone like her like Addison Rae may have had issues that lead them to their behaviors.
@@ranelgallardo7031 most YouToobers and now Ticktockers have anxiety and depression. Almost ever one of them do and that is why their career is online instead of industry or a normal job
This interviewer was so cold and some of these questions were not journalism but more like bullying or back handed type of questions. You’re strong Paris, thank you. Code Break Silence
I think you’re missing the point of what journalism is. Pure proper journalism is without feelings in order to bring an unbiased view of what they’re reporting. She did a solid job if you ask me. Don’t confuse what Oprah does for journalism.
I was not impressed how Paris' mom reacted how her own daughter told her how she was abused. How does a parent just drop off a minor without knowing if the same parent can do "surprise" visit. I did all the time with a new babysitter, certainly would have done surprise visit at this facility EVEN before I would take my kid there.
I watched the film a couple of days ago. I have so much respect for her now. Her mom is so cold. She's so intelligent and went through so much. I wish her the best!
Why would her mother take what Paris told her about abuse she experienced as a grain of salt?? That's her daughter not considered ordinary "people" but her child she gave birth too.?
Speaking up about past abuse is healing to the soul .This story reminds us that abuse can happen to anyone .Surviving it and telling the story is a sort of empowerment 🖤
Everyone is entitled to basic respect. In this case, however, what does this person stand for? Is there anything outside of herself that is her concern? This looks like an attempt to prop up her visibility to generate more wealth for herself. Give me someone who cares about other people. Not this hollow personality.
@@KoreanJindoVlad If you want to see what someone who really cares about something has to say try the RU-vid video with Goldie Hawn. She's a real human being. The title of the video: Neuroscience + Mindful Awareness Training = Thriving Children with Goldie Hawn
@@KoreanJindoVlad If it helps someone else then I am glad for that. She spoke about escaping her self-centered persona but still holds onto its physical entrapment. Her continued embrace of surface issues is what is so unappealing about her.
These times are especially difficult and strenuous for people dealing with trauma so actually this is the perfect time for her to release this. It’s important that she’s able to deal with her trauma just like everyone else and I’m proud of her for being an inspiration to try and change the status quo of how we approach the topic.
Plus her voice has deepened in the past 20 years. she's 40, by now, she has not a care in the world and cares for no one but herself. She's set for the life. since the Hilton hotel chain was sold to China. Although they both made sex tapes. I have to say I prefer her over her ex-BFF Kim kardashian, because paris didnt make money from it nor turn it into a life long career empire
Awkwardness I would say, at being real in front of a camera. Her whole career was being the fake version of herself with the voice in front of every camera.
@@SoneBlink Yes, she does, but for some reason I thought she was in her early twenties..... 39 just seems "ancient" to me. Probably cuz my Mom had me at 18. IDK. But she does look wonderful and amazing for 39, u have to admit.
She seems ingenuine. Also, looks like she’s suffering from “Real Event OCD” and anxiety. She’s ashamed of the public image she built and wants a new, clean slate or second chance with the public. Not sure why? That won’t be possible. She might as well forget what people think and focus on bettering herself privately to make herself happy with who she is. Going public with past traumas is only going to make her OCD and anxiety worse.
Joe Gomez Right, that is indeed true, even if you’re very wealthy and famous does not mean you aren’t unscathed from life’s troubles challenges and heartbreaks even. I’m not a “super fan” of hers but I hear what she’s saying in-depth wise that’s why I clicked on this interview clip... It is sad that whether you’re Paris Hilton or the boy/woman down the street, people endure or have had to experience abuse or physical mistreatment...😐 I’m adopted so I can somewhat relate to what she is saying especially as a former foster care child....
Marco Deo thank you! She’s done more to help than anyone thinks, we donated fifty dollars from what we had to possibly win (when we can) to help fight covid through her and she’s a humanitarian at heart.
Get a life! So many haters in this world. Go find your joy and happiness so your life isn't so bitter. And yet, you'll end up watching her film, and donate 10million for the homeless shelter. 🙄
It’s so sad seeing people commenting bad things about her, yeah she made mistakes, maybe lots of them and we keep them personal, privately. Paris has always been in the spotlight, all her mistakes are judged by people, and i bet if a random person makes the same ones or different but big ones, they won’t get judged, cause those are private! ✨
Bullying has devastating effects on a person's life. The fact that Paris Hilton is famous doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to discuss traumatic events.
Sorry......still privileged and.......conveys that. Paris Hilton. Your correct. Everything that is going on in the world. How about quietly give your time and money to so many that are suffering. Each answer she gives, it’s all about her. Frankly most of us Americans are sick and tired of privileged people that complain. I heard someone comment....America is one big plantation. I believe they are correct.
She actually donates millions. She donated a massive amount at the start of Covid. Just because people don’t announce every donation doesn’t mean they aren’t contributing. I wouldn’t want people giving me atta girls for donations all the time.. that is cringe worthy.
@@jossykerflossy915 He/She is just a hater... How does he/she know that Ms Hilton isn't charitable or aware of the problems of society and the world...
