She seems so much more 'real' than the person I had always seen of her over the decades...
She's gotten so much more in touch with her true self.
That’s what happens when a girl becomes a woman.
Probably because she's in her 40s now.
You pretend like you know her personally... Who in earth trusts the media or the image they paint about someone.
@@n.m.3760 Right 😂
If all her past was all normal and healthy, then today she would regret not had been taking a walk on the other side of life … … so stop complaining, all xitches complaints about anything! She even had a girlfriend who played it out like Illuminati, so much setup scenes, or people of influence near them wanted to play the Illuminati scenes, so was her grandfather, scammers and stalkers, so much illusions and shadows casted about!
Met her in real life. She physically moved her bodyguards aside so I can snap a Pic with her. She's the realest yall, and just that brief encounter at a resort in Asia meant the world to me.
I met her at an airport when I was working as cabin crew. She was super nice to me and the rest of the crew. She talks so normal and educated.
I met her at Coachella she was SO sweet.
As a teenager, I was groomed by a teacher and abused. I am 29 years old now and I am still recovering from the trauma. I have always felt so alone, thank you Paris for sharing, it helps so many others not feel alone.
Same here which started when I was 9.5 yes old. I eventually tried telling my mother who honestly called me "a little lying whore" which stuck with me throughout my teen years & into adulthood & affected my marriages. I'm in my 2nd currently & just celebrated 20yrs in Feb. 2023. I have tried many therapy sessions & about 7 therapists. Unfortunately the 6th one was truly helpful with this and decided to try EMDR therapy which became very helpful. I had to stop seeing him due to insurance issues and couldn't pay out-of-pocket. I think ANY type of mental/behavioral health should be covered no matter what but it is what it is. Have you tried the therapy? I know this therapist does do teleheath services but I don't know if EMDR can be done that way. I was also nervous to see him because he was a male too but he was one of the best I've seen. He's in Western PA. I couldn't even stand my husband (and my ex-husband) touching me a certain way but now the last 10-11yrs I've been able to handle it. We moved recently to another state 700 miles away & unfortunately, again due to insurance, have had such a hard time finding one. There was one that wouldn't even see me! After a brief phone consult they wouldn't return my calls etc. Anyway, I have been very open about things due to seeing that therapist that was extremely helpful. Don't get me wrong, others were but to an extent. I did lose one due to a suicide attempt which left me with heart issues & in ICU for over a week & then in psych unit for an additional 5-7 days. I'm grateful now that my husband found me at the time he did because any later I wouldn't have made it according to drs. These issues can greatly affect anyone and there's people out there that shrug it off when you try to open up and it just makes us, the victim, feel worse. There needs to be more attention to this, in my opinion. I'm writing a book here so I better end this. Please know that you are not alone. Much love to you ((hug)) always here for anyone that needs a good listener.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
🙏🏽
The school system is grooming your kids today. Take them out of public schools.
You guys share need better parents. Not protecting you when you were young.
Her pain will not be for nothing. Bravo, Paris, for bringing your story into the light and using it to help others!
Very sad
I was thinking back to some situations I was taken advantage of by older males. They would always tell me that I was mature for my age. I had no idea they were grooming. I'm so happy she is sharing her story!
💯💯💯💯
Sadly this happened to many girls. And society blames girls.
Right! And age 18 or 23 is still a child
Yup. The perversion was unreal.
@@JoyFay yep always the girls fault , no matter how young they were , I’m glad women are not tolerating this now ,
This made cry 😢. Her authentic self is beautiful. She doesn’t need to hide behind a character
She's lieng , she's a party hard girl that have come out in many pics of cartel kids dating her.
I got sent to a similar program in Utah and 16 years later I’m still grappling with the trauma. If you had told me in the early 2000’s that Paris Hilton would become one of the celebrities I have the most respect for, I would have thought you were nuts. But here I am in awe of how far Paris has come and what she is doing to help the children who are still being shipped off to these abuse centers. Hell, I’d like to get involved with the cause. How can I help take these places down?
Cross Creek?
She’s nothing like I expected. She’s very elegant and poised considering her childhood trauma.
LOL... you're really falling for this? LOL I guess you don't remember the past? All she is doing is just trying to play on the media to get more attention using the #metoo movement. Trying to make herself look like a victim so she can get attention again because she is no longer in the spotlight and she's hitting the wall now! WAKE UP!
@Darnell J get a hobby troll
Trauma?! Lol doubtful
@@CryptoKittyMonster anyone can experience trauma, even her
@@Alexandria87 what trauma? Partying and a sex tape? Paris is the biggest ho bag in Hollywood!!! 🤣🤣🤣
It’s nice to hear her story and it’s sad she experienced such trauma. No child deserves to have their trust broken
What money lmao😂😂😅😅😂😂😂
@Norman Swann
Stop playing oppression Olympics. Yes it happens to boys but it happens to girls on a far larger scale...Get over it.
@@phillipaclemons7261 did you really just put a measuring stick to human suffering? Good grief, so tired of this mentality of measuring who has suffered worse in this life.
@Norman Swann well their parents should keep an eye on them then.
@@normanswannNo one said it doesn’t happen to boys??? The commenter said that it shouldn’t happen to any children, she didn’t say it shouldn’t happen to just young girls.
Ever felt proud of someone you don't know? She has come so far & her story gives hope
S0 proud!! I just knew she had a powerhouse story!
Yes proud of being a whore and making other little girls follow around
@@ninaborovsky9992 she really does absolute Queen she is !
You took the words right out of my mouth, Celline! Well said my friend ❤
Lies
I hope that Paris continues to heal & take control over her story. What a nice woman she has turned out to be. Insightful and wise. Despite her wealth, she presents as someone that you could talk to and realize that you have certain interior feelings in common. Way to go lady! 🙌
I love Paris so much. I'm so glad she has found her voice and she's using her platform for good.
What is she ?
her platform is crying on CZcams ? Why you need that ?
I've always loved her too!!! She's just a precious person!!!
@@lucasremTo spread awareness. Maybe after seeing Paris speak about this, parents will think twice before sending their kids to these abuse riddled schools.
@@springfauna1465 LOL GET A LIFE
I was a free spirit till my trauma. I can relate to that. 💕
Same here. Trying to get thru it. Keep your chin up❤
My GOD really??! 🙄
Same,it changes everything about you❤
Me too
im such a fan of hers. her personal growth is very admirable.
Sarcasm much?
“I am prove that money doesn’t Protect against abuse” I love her 😂😂
Thats hilarious. "😆😆😆"
Why is this funny?
My sister in law went through the same thing in Utah. It’s horrible. Paris is doing amazing work!
She’s very courageous to tell her story. I wish her all the best.
Shes full of it
I think it is forgotten that celebrities are people with feelings. I am happy for her. May she continue to be happy
Most people with a brain know that
Until she confronts herself about how she treated others around her, then I'm not going to fall for the 'feel sorry for me' story. She is a genuinely mean, cruel person.
There's no need to get your panties in a bunch. It's not worth a paragraph
@@Berighteousone I agree. The paparazzi can be quite mean. So they have no brain
She has aged beautifully and I love Paris in her 40s. It's a great look on her. We are the same age, and I remember her really well in the early 2000s. Good for her in finding herself. I think we are all on that mission and it takes some of us longer than others, depending upon our pasts.
omg this woman has always had such a gentle and sweet disposition and survived the worse nightmare any woman can go through having her privacy invaded like she did then simultaneously for years treated so horribly by the media and society constantly judging her. I'm so glad she is speaking out and now that she's talking about her ADHD diagnosis, this explains a lot and I can relate since I too was diagnosed very late and struggled for decades in school, career and personal life. I'm so happy Paris is advocating for children and fully support this!
She is a great example of how no matter how hard you try and pretend to be someone else, you will never be able to change who you really are. Fashion, styles and fake masks people wear to hide their insecurities won't last very long. Aging and time will open your eyes to the real you. Stop pretending to be someone you are not.
True plastics melt eventually.
First, make millions pretending...this reveal is ultimately a business move
@@shorteecake6644 this. I wonder what’s next.
I think you missed why she was acting out.Because she’s 40 you think it’s a business move now? All these comments are baffling!Good for her for exposing what she went through!
If aging and time arent basically on the same bench idk what your on abt
She returned correspondence from my mother while serving jail time. She cares about those who show that they really care. My mother received a handwritten college ruled facsimile thank you letter and a b/w glamour headshot.
What a nice story!
How sweet of her.
I love that!!
What a cool story…Paris really does have a heart of gold and truly cares about people, her fans & even strangers. I’ve adored her for many years, but the more she reveals about herself & hearing story’s like your’s about your Mom makes me love her even more.💖She’s as humble as they come.
@@MissGumShoe 🤣😅🤣😅🤣🤣 Paris Hilton!!!
42.... she's 42... I still think of her as a youthful 22 year old. This young woman is a full grown adult that has been through a tough life. She may have been known worldwide... and wealthy... but that doesn't mean an easy life. Keep going with your life purpose... make positive changes in the world! ❤
Thank you Paris for sharing your story… and esp for being an important ADVOCATE to make people around the world be aware to protect our young children from more possible horrors and worst experiences they can end up going through in life
🙏🏽
This is why books will never go away. People will always have a story to tell and they wanna do it in a way that won't be misconstrued as much media these days is.
I love how she is honest about her sex tape. She says she was in a bad space. Unlike the Kardashians who blame Ray J all these years and claim they never made money from it😂.
They should blame Kris also for going along with it!!. Disgusting family!.😑
Paris, I don’t know if you will ever read this but I am so sorry this happened to you! You stay strong and keep letting the world know how you were treated to help other kids that have no voice! Shame on the parents who dump their children off at places like these!!!
A childhood trauma if not treated , really caused a bad dream that will affect someone subconsciously . She is so strong to overcome her life and good enough to help herself .
Totally agree with you
How do you mean affect someone subconsciously . So that is why people with amazing childhoods still develop schizophrenia and other psychological illness please let me know I’m confused ?
A redeemed soul.
If just a percentage of the soul snatching does take place in the entertainment industry then her journey has been far more heroic than has been conveyed.
Welcome home, Angel, Sister. 🍇⚘
She's not home! She's just a complainer! Crying about her privilege!
@@LC-go1uh amen. It’s become “chic” to complain about your problems.
haters gotta hate
Read Cathy O'briens's banned book "
"Tranceformation America" and get a clue
...like I said. REDEEMED. She confessed, she repented, and who are YOU to say that Jesus did not then redeem her soul from demons. Do you know that much, truth ?
Confession, repentance, salvation. She earned it. You can too, so hold on there with your truth pilgrim, and just "judge not lest ye be judged ".
@@butchmitch731 I don’t know if your calling me “Pilgrim” John Wayne or referring to someone else but MY point is I am saved by Jesus but I sin every day. It’s human. A In part of being a sinner and asking God to forgive you for your sins is being authentic. I’ve only ever seen Paris play the victim and the plain truth is I just don’t believe her. There are other “celebrities“ if that’s what you want to call her… That have truly been redeemed and are truly humble. That’s the main word right there… HUMBLE. You can still be on social media and take dumb selfies (I know because I do) and maintain a humble presence. The opposite of that is Entitled. So I’m not judging Paris, Im seeing through her façade. And frankly she’s the poster girl along with Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Ritchie (I’m not including Britney Spears because she’s always been real and authentic she just went through a hard time) for early 00’s entitlement and nepotism and everyone knew it back then. The more enlightened of us see she’s a Tiger who hadn’t changed her stripes. She’s always be spoiled rich nepo baby but the younger generation has now embraced Lindsay and Paris because frankly the world and the Internet has gone to 💩. And she’s the OG of vapid, meaningless talentless “entertainment” and so her sheep (like you) eat it up. It’s sad really. Being so delusional you can’t see through the transparent mess that she is. So I’ll stick to not throwing stones at legitimate redemptive celebrities like Johnny Depp. Or Jane Fonda. And really I’m not judging but I also refuse to buy the bs she’s selling. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Paris is an amazing person even with all the trauma she has experienced in life!! She definitely came out on top of it all! ❤❤
I am so happy for Paris for coming out and stating that she has been dealing with this trauma of past abuse in her life and yet she out on a mask outside but was crying on the inside. Glad she finally can speak her truth and that she finally has a great husband in her life and continue to have happiness and healing as well as more babies ..
You can see how money doesn't shelter/protect you from abuse, neglect. She was judge for who people assumed her to be.
Her PR folks, parents, money could not keep her safe.
Glad she is turning it around and making a difference.
It is a blessing to evolve and understand oneself, learn from those things which shaped your life, and see your purpose. I am very happy for Paris wishing her the best and continued healing.
Wow . I am so sorry you had to go through this Paris. May God continue to heal you. I’m glad you’re speaking out about this. You deserve your grace and peace.
I have nothing but love for her. I'm happy she's living her truth as an advocate and an inspiration.
I'm glad she's written this book it's Sad to hear what she went through and she's sharing this so other young girls will learn from this.
Probably a coloring book
@@Berighteousone yea i don’t believe her either. Seems like a fairytale
Paris is iconic, forever. I really appreciate her honesty - in high school my close friend was taken to a boarding school in Mexico in the middle of the night and her strict parents refused to tell us where she was. She ended up choosing JAIL in Mexico until she was 18 when she tried to leave. Thank you, for Lisa Thomas and all that she missed her senior year with our friends.
She's useless . Adds nothing to society
That's sad. And whacked! Hope your friend is OK.
I love paris, I’m so glad she’s finally taking back not only her life but her image too.
I laud Paris for her vulnerability. Sexual trauma really imprints a soul and by her sharing, she is helping others feel not so alone.
Wow!! I appreciate your strength!!! And courage!!! Thank you for shining this light on systemic issues!!! So sorry you had to go through all this!!! Im happy to see you on the otherside!!! And can't wait to see what's next!! All the blessings and love always ❤️
I get her. My ex had wealthy evangelical parents who traumatized them. Most people won’t get her story because they have never lived it or can relate to the wealth, status, and shame.
Religion doesn’t traumatize. Individuals do.
@@Maryam_aam People use it as an excuse to traumatize all of the time and there are clearly toxic beliefs that help them do this. Semantics doesn't change the fact that people are REGULARLY abused with religious rhetoric.
@@Maryam_aam agreed
@@Maryam_aam religion is used to cause trauma en masse. You can no longer dissociate the two.
@@katejohnson3598 yes we can. It’s certain individuals that cause problems in the name of religion. It’s always the individual.
She seems so sweet. She seems like she's grown into who she really is now.
the only 2 positive things about this story is that at least she is rich... and that she is paying it forward by creating an organization for people who need help like what she went through. i admire her humility...and selflessness.
its nice to hear her real voice and see her real eyes
Thank you for turning your pain into advocacy. Love what you're doing.
Shes so smart i love that she is coming into her lane she seems so much stronger and more self-aware also her self-confidence is showing which is so good esp as a role model.
Glad I seen this . Never cared to know much about her but I definitely felt the real her .
❤Wow she has certainly grown. Very smart young woman. I like how she is stepping back into the spotlight with a differ take on life and fame.❤
She doesn’t need to step back in to explain herself. Should had just left it. She doesn’t need to do this.
@@MrMannyhwI strongly disagree. I went to boarding school with Paris and she was shy but also one of the sweetest, most humble, and thoughtful girls there. Having never met her previously I was taken aback by the difference between the girl I was meeting and her public persona. I even initially questioned who was the "real" Paris. I can say it's heartbreaking the way some people feel it's okay to express their desire for heinous things to happen to her and her family. By her speaking out she has successfully opened the eyes of the public and politicians to the atrocities taking place every day at the boarding school we attended and the hundreds of others like them. She has also helped to implicate laws that have assisted in closing many of them down. It's not about her wish to share some of the most personal and horrific experiences she's been through, it's about wanting to protect other young women and men (girls/boys) from having to go through the same trauma we and thousands of others have experienced. So, if that's not a good enough reason for her to speak out and take some of her power back then I don't know what is.
Paris is resilient mentally: if she did not compartmentalized her traumatic experience, she would have been broken.
Her nature is very compassionate, and she is moved into action when she see others are being abused or mistreated. On the outside, she is this carefree persona (which is her mode of expression), but inside, freedom, equality, and right use of power is very important to her.
it's about morality she is fighting for.
I love her deep voice
Met her, and yes she’s very shy, could feel her insecurities, hope shes healing, horrible for any girl to experience abuse
Paris is a treasure 💎I have so much love & respect for her. She’s proven that she has intelligence, depth, compassion & strength ♥️
Her desire to protect children from what she went through will make her a fantastic mother.
Glad to see Paris now. Intelligent, mature. She spoke with a deep voice.
At the same time it's intriguing to see when asked what would she said to younger Paris, she changed her way of speaking to the Paris that we had seen on TV before.
An example of we are all much more then what the world sees!
Thanks for sharing your struggle with abusers. Courageous!
I used to think she was a rich snob so it’s nice to see she’s a real person ❤
Good for her to share her story. Takes a heroic amount of courage to tell the truth. I have so much respect for this woman. Always a fan.
Proud of you speaking up for many others who don't have the strength to stand up for their abuse
I love love love that Paris is so strong and beautiful and is a Momma😍😍😍
I love love love her passion for making the world the best place it can be
AND I LOVE HOW SHE INCORPORATES MUSIC AND BEING A DJ FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO CELEBRATE LIFE LOVE JOY AND DANCING TOGETHER IN MOMENTS MADE FOR SMILING, SINGING ,LOVING LIFE ,BEING UNIFIED TOGETHER IN CELEBRATING HAPPINESS🌈🌎❤️
She’s 40 years old and she’s aging gracefully. She’s realized what’s important in life and has some in terms with her true self. Unlike the Kardashian’s smh they should take notes it’s no wonder they are loosing relevancy
It's called plastic surgery dah....look at the transformation over the years (money) 🤣
@@reneesmith3953 yeah I know but it doesn’t look bad compared to others who get plastic surgery
Paris you come across as a beautiful honest woman. I hope your truth and bravery helps many people who need to hear this. God bless you sister.
Wow!! I grew up watching Paris. I always loved how down to earth she was. I never knew she went through all of that and overcame it. I appreciate how she turned trauma into triumph and helps with prevention. Makes me love her even more.
She stands for everything that is wrong with the world-conspicuous consumption. Could care less
So proud of you Paris! You have a wonderful husband now that I hope encourages you to continue to help kids from these awful predators. There are many!
Paris has beautiful eyes. In some photos, you can see the hurt in those eyes and it's so sad.
I love the courage and strength of Paris. She is a wonderful woman doing good in the world.
she was just a child. glad she's alive and well, and growing. Go Paris H.
Amazing. She could have ended up being a person much like Kim Kartrashian. Her soul has matured and remained intact. Good for her! ❤️
Why Kim is a good mother and a good person and gets people out of jail
She's surprisingly thoughtful. I've never paid her much mind except to think of her as the caricature/joke like most people.
Been a huge fan of hers since I can remember, and I have always related. Sucks not enjoying your childhood, and part of your adult life because someone you trusted took advantage. Took me a long time to realize and understand that. I have no regrets and thankful for the person I am today. You are awesome for what you are doing Paris.
so inspiring to see she took all of the abuse as a fuel to become the powerful woman she is today
Good for her. She has reclaimed her life.
You are brave and beautiful Paris! Thank you for sharing, so many will feel less alone in their trauma because of your voice.
She looks even beautiful now. Love that she takes control of the whole thing. Traumatic experiences need to be face with strong heart. She did it. It done her good
I always saw Paris as seeking out attention. Sometimes it is hard to swallow what they say when they get older. I don't know..are our lives so deceived by the media or do these people contribute to it as well? This is a story that so many women can relate to..we all have secrets that so many women can share. I'm glad she is finally speaking out.
I still see it that way .
I think both things are true. But someone “seeking out attention” is not inherently negative. It just is.
@@24kgoldplatedvermeilWhat an empathetic response. Any child going through traumatic experiences will seek some form of attention and may not even have the courage or words to express it.
She became famous because of a sex tape that was released without her consent. She put on a brave face pretending like she was okay when she was destroyed inside, as a way to cope. You're a coward for judging someone at their lowest behind the comfort of your screen.
Good for you Paris!!! Your beautiful inside and out and 100% right. Money doesn't buy happiness or protection!!!
This is heartbreaking! I have always been a fan. I am so proud of you for telling your truth.
I never knew much about Paris, other than her public persona. Now I'm very intrigued, and want to read her book and watch her documentary. I feel so damn sorry for what she had to go through and I commend her for speaking out.
I believe her. My adopted daughter went to Provo Canyon in Utah . The things that she eventually told me were unspeakable 😢 Nothing was done about it.
She’s grown and matured so much. Yet she looks better than ever.
Lip fillers.
After seeing her doc, I got a better understanding of who she is. I give her so much credit for telling her story, very courageous of her. I hope she continues to heal and fight to get more places like that school she was sent to be shut down
She’s so great. This rly takes a lot. We see you Paris ❤️
At 6:58 the smirk on her face during the paparazzi frenzy you can definitely tell she was in an out of control state of mind. For whatever reasons I’m glad she’s in a better headspace now. Keep up the amazing work girl taking back control and getting your life on track
The teenage trauma survivor in me wholeheartedly sees and very deeply supports the teenage trauma survivor inside of her, no doubt! May her somewhat newfound genuine calling in life continue to help save, comfort, and set free countless other people until she finally feels completely healed herself! Hella love me some Paris forreals!!! Such an extra dope chick & level GENIUS troll, y’all!
So proud of this woman ❤️❤️
Good for her becoming a strong women and advocating for those that may be going through what she had went through.
I wish you good health, healing and happiness. She reminds me of so many girls I knew growing up. Things we didn’t tell the adults because they were so strict and anything done by older males was always our fault. Nowadays we recognize it as grooming, but back then, the girl was almost always the one blamed for being “cheeky”.
Good for you! You tell your story!
I’m so proud of her. That’s why she was the way she was she wuss hurting for 2 whole decades. 😢
Paris is so beautiful inside & out - keep being strong successful& at peace. You are good Paris
She was treated so badly !! Ugh disgusting. I love her 💕
Was she forced to be with all those bad men?
Paris Hilton has come a very long way in her life and I am very proud of her for being so strong in telling her true story through her book and this incredible interview. I have more respect for Paris Hilton than for Kim K on multiple levels.
You don't need to knock down one woman to build up another. Kim has done a lot for the incarcerated population in her legal endeavors and continues to do so.
@@dianarusnov292 You MIGHT be right on Kim K's legal dealings. However, what I said is my opinion and I will continue to express it as I wish.
Love you, Paris!! Thank you for being so open and truthful! You are an AMAZING WOMAN!!!
You are making a HUGE CHANGE for our country, and children all while healing your own wounds🙏🙏❤🙏🙏
When she got asked the last question her voice started going baby.
I didn't care for her before. But now I find out she and I are so much alike.. JUST LOVE HER !!
So sorry this happened to you Paris. God bless you. Amen 🙏
Omg she wanted to do the dope and suck the dicks,she's not a victim she's the problem
@@tracybratcher2829 I'm sure your parents are proud of you using such vulgar language.
I feel as if this is her most authentic self. Well done Paris, and I wish you well
Praying for her continued healing and growth 🙏
I'm glad she's speaking out. Sometimes beauty can be a curse. Grown ass people can say some crazy stuff to young folks, and scare the hell of you. Good job Paris 👏 👍
Paris is a beautiful woman and her life will help us all understand fame and power. She's an angel, so glad she has lived to tell the tale. Still a bombshell too. ❤️ We are listening Paris. xoxo.
Thank you Paris, thank you for the breaking the SILENCE ❤
