Paris In Love star Paris Hilton won't let anything hold her down as she reveals she's taking her power back from her past experiences. In September 2020, Paris aired an hour-long documentary on YouTube titled This Is Paris. The documentary strayed away from her usually light-hearted reality TV entertainment and focused on one of her most traumatizing past experiences, which, until the doc aired, the public had never heard before. The heiress revealed that due to excessive partying when she was a teenager, her parents sent her to Provo Canyon School in Utah, where she was allegedly abused and put in solitary confinement.

Paris has spent years overcoming what she faced as a teenager and her mother Kathy Hilton only recently came to terms with what happened to her daughter. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star confessed that it was extremely difficult for her to cope with what her daughter told her about the facility she'd sent her to.
