Paris Hilton has claimed she was sexually abused at her Utah boarding school.
Interviewed by the New York Timesthe wealthy heiress has opened up regarding the experiences she endured at Provo Canyon School in Utah when she was 17.
The star, now 41, previously detailed some of her traumatic experience at the facility in her 2020 YouTube documentary, This is Paris. During the interview with the newspaper, she recalled that school staff members were “performing cervical exams” on her and other students.
“Very late at night, it was around three or four in the morning, they were taking me and other girls to this room and they were doing medical examinations,” she said.
She further indicated that whoever was performing the supposed examinations “wasn’t even a doctor.”
She said there were ‘several different members of staff making us lay down on the table and putting their fingers inside of us’.
“I don’t know what they were doing, but it certainly wasn’t a doctor. It was really scary, and it was something that I had really blocked out for many years, she added. But it comes up all the time now, and I think regarding it. And now, looking back on it as an adult, it was definitely sexual abuse.”
Paris Hilton also detailed her memory of a cervical exam on Twitter, writing that she was “forced to lie down on a padded table” and undergo the procedure.
“I cried as they held me down and said, ‘No!’ They just said, “Shut up. Stay silent. Stop moving.” It is important to talk regarding these painful moments so that I can heal and help end these abuses, ”explained Paris Hilton.
