Paris Hilton 'still has visions' about being drugged and raped when she was 15
Paris Hilton has opened up about being drugged and raped at the age of 15 in a terrifying ordeal which she "still has visions" about.
Socialite Paris previously discussed being subjected to abuse in the past in her candid documentary This Is Paris, which was released in 2020.
In the doc, she discussed the horrific abuse she endured while at Provo Canyon School in Utah and other various treatment facilities she was sent to as a teen. She also reconnected with fellow previous students to discuss their own experiences in the film.
Now, the star is releasing a new book, Paris The Memoir, where she recalls dark times in her teen years, which is set to hit shelves on March 2.
Paris is opening up even more about her traumatic childhood in more detail ahead of the release of her tell-all memoir. Speaking in an interview before the book's release, she has revealed that a year before she was sent to Provo Canyon, at age 15, she was subjected to two separate incidents of abuse.

Paris told Glamour Magazine : "I was just such a young girl and I got manipulated by my teacher. He took advantage of a young girl and that was something I blocked out as well, I didn’t remember it until years later."
She added: "He would call me on the phone all the time, just flirting with me, trying to put in my mind that I was this mature woman."
Paris recalled one incident where the teacher lured her into her car outside her family home and kissed her. But, her teacher began "freaking out" as her parents walked out onto the drive.
The star said she felt "ashamed" by the ordeal that she "not talked about it with [her] family".

She explained that's what she and her friends did most weekends, giving older boys their pager numbers.
There was a day in particular where the men invited Paris and her friends to their house where they were given alcohol.

She recalled falling asleep for a few hours but knew something wasn't right when she woke up.

"I remembered it. I have visions of him on top of me, covering my mouth, being like, 'You’re dreaming, you’re dreaming,' a nd whispering that in my ear'," she said.
Paris explained that, much like the experience with her teacher, being raped also made her feel ashamed.
