Paris Hilton opened up more about her traumatic, tragic experience at the Provo Canyon School in Utah. Several staff members would perform invasive exams on her and other girls.

The heiress sat down with the New York Times on Tuesday, describing the sexual abuse she endured during her teen years at the school. She explained how a male staff member would wake up herself and a few other girls around 3 to 4 in the morning and place them in a room where they would perform “cervical exams.” Hilton further explained the male staff member wasn’t a doctor, but he and other staff members would perform the exam while she and the other girls were “heavily medicated.”
“It was a couple of different staff members who would have us lay on the table and put their fingers inside of us. And I don’t know what they were doing, but it was definitely not a doctor. And it was really scary, and it’s something that I had blocked out for many years.”

Although she’s blocked out the memories for years, Hilton explained to the publication that she’s experienced sexual abuse under the same people who were supposed to help her.
The staff would allegedly hold down Hilton during these “exams” and threatened to send her into solitary confinement if she continued to resist. However, she hopes opening up about that traumatic time at the boarding school would help end the abuse at other schools for troubled teens. Her parents, Ricky and Kathy Hilton sent her to the school when she was 16, and Paris remained at the site for 11 months before she was sent back home.
“From the moment I woke up until I went to bed, it was all day screaming in my face, yelling at me, continuous torture.”
She previously described her experience at Ponvo Canyon in 2020 when Hilton shared that she wants these environments to be safer for those who attend the school. Hilton explained in her documentary, “This Is Paris,” about the anxiety she endured and witnessed as other kids were allegedly force-fed medication, restrained, and sent to solitary confinement if they didn’t follow directions.
“I was just so miserable. I felt like a prisoner and I hated life,”
