Actress Paris Hilton, 41, couldn’t hold back tears as she revealed she was sexually abused when she was admitted to a boarding school in the United States at the age of 16 in the 1990s.
In a video shot for the New York Times Opinion channel, the artist said her parents made the drastic decision to place her in a therapeutic boarding school due to her lack of education.
When I was sixteen, two tall men with handcuffs came into my room and asked, “Do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?” They took me to boarding school.

The artist’s parents decided to hospitalize her because they were tired of not knowing how to deal with her disobedience and rebellion. She spent 11 months at Canyon School in Utah.
“When I was sixteen, two big men with handcuffs came into my room and said, ‘Do you want to do it the easy way or the hard way?’ They put me in boarding school,” he said.
“It wasn’t a doctor and it was very scary. I was abused verbally, physically and emotionally,” she said of her experience.
In addition to emotional aggression, Paris Hilton also said she suffered sexual abuse while attending boarding school in Utah, United States.
At dawn around 3am, they took me and other girls out of the dormitories and took us to some “medical procedures”. They weren’t real doctors and this certainly wasn’t a test.

“Then they put us on stretchers and put their fingers inside us. It was really very scary and for years those memories were repressed. But today, with the maturity that I have, I see that I was a victim of sexual abuse.” .
Paris Hilton is currently committed to helping children with mental health issues through therapy and rigidity.
