In her new memoir, Paris Hilton wrote extensively about her time in wilderness programs and teen treatment centers — including in Utah — and how the alleged abuse affected her into adulthood.
Hotel heiress and reality television star Paris Hilton, left, walks through the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2021; she was there to support legislation to establish a bill of rights for children placed in congregate care facilities. Her new memoir, “Paris,” was released Tuesday.Paris Hilton has spent nearly three years publicly speaking about the abuse she says she endured in the 1990s while at Provo Canyon School, a teen treatment facility in Utah.
Hilton said being sent to “Provo” was considered a threat while she was in teen treatment programs in other states. “My life after Provo would be everything,” she wrote. “Instead of numbered sweats, I’d curate a designer wardrobe and never wear the same outfit twice. Instead of bloodshot eyes and a bruised face, I’d have lush fake lashes, a seamless spray tan, and a touch of glitter on my cheekbones. Instead of shame, I would wrap myself in audacity, and I would make so much money and be so successful, no one could ever have control over me again.
“The staff at Provo had their favorites,” she wrote. “Always pretty girls. But I don’t think it was about being pretty. I think these were weak people in the outside world, men and women who got off on the power they had over us.”
