Paris Hilton has opened up about something very personal and painful.
In a new interview with Glamor UK, the 42-year-old reality star and DJ said she was set on fire and raped when she was 15 … after she and her friends met a man at the Century City Mall in Los Angeles.
“We would go almost every weekend,” Hilton told the outlet.
“This is my favorite thing and that’s it [older] the guys are always just hanging out at the store…we’ll talk to them, give them our beeper number.
Hilton, who recently welcomed her first child via surrogate, said the men invited her and her friend back home to drink “this cooler of berry wine.”
“I wasn’t drinking or anything at the time, but when I had one or two sips, I immediately started feeling dizzy and woozy,” he recalled.
“I don’t know what they put in there, I thought it was a roofie.”
Hilton explained how she woke up a few hours later – and immediately realized what had happened.
“I remember,” she said.
“I had a vision of him above me, covering his mouth, like, ‘You’re dreaming, you’re dreaming,’ and whispering in my ear.”
Just really bad.
Hilton said this was her first sexual experience, too.
After this horrific incident, Paris is sent to a boarding school for troubled teenagers.
She previously accused the New York Times of some of the trauma and abuse she suffered at this facility in Utah, including being forced to take drugs and having to undergo nonconsensual gynecological exams.
“I’m just a little girl,” Hilton told Glamor . “I just feel like it stole my childhood and it’s fun because it’s still happening to kids today.”
He added, with reference to the harsh examination mentioned above:
“It was something I had blocked out of my memory, but after hearing stories from other survivors, I started to flashback.
“At the end of the night, a staff member would come in and pick up certain girls and bring them into this room.”
Currently, Hilton focuses on political activism, especially after Roe v. Wade was deposed in 2022.
“There’s a lot of politics around it and everything, but women’s bodies,” she said. “Why should there be a law based on that?”
Hilton’s conclusion on this critical topic:
“It’s your body, your choice and I’m sure of it.
“I think it’s amazing that they’re legislating what you do with reproductive health because if there’s something different about men, it’s not like that.
