Paris Hilton describes being groomed and "kissed" by an eighth-grade teacher who had a "crush" on her in her new memoir.

The DJ remembers “Mr. Abercrombie” telling her that he had a “crush” on her. “Casting him in the role of child molester meant casting myself in the role of victim, and I just couldn’t go there.” “It took decades for me to actually speak the word pedophile,” the “Paris in Love” star notes. The “Simple Life” star even claims that the teacher “reminded” her of the 13-year age difference between Princess Diana and Prince Charles and that Priscilla Presley was 14 when Elvis Presley “fell in love with her.” “Mr.

Socialite Paris Hilton admits her grandmother Kathy Hilton has been "obsessed" with her baby boy and keeps "showing up all the time unannounced".

Paris Hilton gave her mom, Kathy Hilton, a Chanel bag to lessen the blow of secretly welcoming her baby, Phoenix Barron Hilton-Reum, via surrogate.

“She’s like, ‘Is this yours?’ And she starts crying. She’s like, ‘What is that?’ And I was like, ‘A baby … “I was holding the baby on my shoulder with a blanket over him, and then I just sat down.

The reality star talks about her new memoir, her time at troubled-teen reform schools, her wild days in the aughts, and her life as a wife and mom.

In the book, she writes about coming to the realization that she is a performance artist, and that her body is her medium. She’s working on her deepfake and on her virtual reality Paris World with the goal, she tells me, of extending her likeness into the metaverse “so I can be at home and a mom but still do [things].” (She just completed the first-ever fragrance signing in the metaverse; a million people attended.) She’s releasing her 30th perfume and working on a new album, combing through the 200 songs that have been sent to her from friends like [Miley Cyrus](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/miley-cyrus/) and [Meghan Trainor](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/meghan-trainor/). “I’m the producer of the show,” she says. “I was holding the baby on my shoulder with a blanket over him, and then I just sat down. “It’s kind of like, ‘They told me to ask you — it’s not me,’ ” she says of raising the topics. The revelations in This Is Paris transformed “Paris Hilton” (object) into Paris Hilton (subject). THE NEXT DAY, I meet Hilton in a cork-wrapped room at the studio where she is recording the audio version of Paris: The Memoir. “But the next day she came to me with all this research showing me that hundreds of thousands of kids are being sent to these places every year. Even back then, though, Paris Hilton was telling us that she was not “Paris Hilton.” The high-low look, the knock-kneed pose, the baby voice — it was clear she was playing into a cartoon fantasy. It shares how she locked herself in a bathroom stall to escape the advances of Harvey Weinstein at 19. “I had just been so abused that I didn’t even know who I was anymore,” she tells me. In both 2006 and 2008, she was the most Googled person on the planet, a slinky celebutante who’d grown up between Bel Air and New York’s Waldorf Astoria, who’d been kicked out of multiple tony private schools, and whose bicoastal command of the party scene was front-page news.

from the trauma I went through as a teenager,” Hilton writes. “Trying to continue that pregnancy with the physical and emotional issues I was dealing with at the time would have been a train wreck for everyone involved. “I was afraid that if I shared that story, the next question would be, ‘Why didn’t you speak up at the time?’ and I had no answer for that,” Hilton writes. I was terrified and heartsick,” Hilton writes. Weinstein, who is already nearly three years into his 23-year sentence for a rape and sexual assault conviction in New York, [was sentenced to 16 years in prison on similar charges in his Los Angeles criminal trial ](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2023/02/23/harvey-weinstein-sentencing-la-rape-case-prison-time/11323970002/)last month. “Even now, in a corporate world dominated by men, I look around a conference table knowing that most of the people sitting there have seen me naked in the most degrading way imaginable.” It made me feel alive and playful in a way I wish I could have been when I was in bed with someone I cared about.” “The terrible truth is, I became numb after a while,” Hilton writes. “Instead of numbered sweats, I’d curate a designer wardrobe and never wear the same outfit twice, Hilton writes. Hilton was first enrolled in CEDU, an “emotional growth boarding school,” by her parents following a rebellious streak of school expulsions and sneaking out to raves. “I set out to create the truest possible representation of the life I’ve lived and the motivating factors that steered my course.” The platinum-blond socialite turned media mogul mines the depths of her extraordinary past in her debut memoir “Paris: The Memoir” (Dey Street Books, 336 pp., out Tuesday).

In her new memoir, party girl-turned-mogul Paris Hilton chronicles growing up as part of hotel magnate Conrad Hilton's family dynasty.

Once she was released at 18, she stuck to the story concocted by her family that she’d been away at a London boarding school. “I knew I wasn’t trying to build an ordinary career,” Hilton recalls of her early days of being paid to party and attract the paparazzi. But a diagnosis of ADHD put a damper on the idyllic childhood, making it difficult to focus in school.

After being asked about the purported feud several times, Pink said she was “saddened and disappointed by the narrative” about her relationship with Aguilera, 42. Hilton went on to clarify that she’s not “mad” at Pink now, praising her as “brilliant” and a “great” mother. The tape, filmed with her ex [Rick Salomon](https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/rick-salomon/), leaked in late 2003 and was shared without her consent. “Pink sang about ‘outcasts and girls with ambition’ and said, ‘That’s what I wanna see.’ But she chose not to see it in me.” “The world thinks of me as a sex symbol, and I’m here for that, because ‘symbol’ literally means ‘icon,'” she wrote. “There’s no Pink-Paris feud,” the “Stars Are Blind” singer continued. Hilton said she doesn’t hold a grudge the Grammy winner, 43, but she was hurt at the time by the clip. “That’s not a thing. I have the attention span of a gnat, which means I suck at holding grudges.

“At that moment in my life, I was in no way capable of being a mother,” she continues. “I was terrified and heartsick,” Paris recalled of learning she was pregnant. After they ran down an alley and entered the vehicle, they “were swarmed by paparazzi,” Hilton recalled, who began hounding her about Lohan “because a day or two earlier this weird video came out where she said that I hit her elbow and dumped a drink on her. “I felt paralyzed by an anxiety that took root in my body and grew like poison ivy.” Hilton says the 2006 photo was a result of her and Spears partying at the Beverly Hills Hotel, with the duo escaping the party through a bathroom window to avoid being “rude” to the hosts that didn’t want them to leave. He would extend multiple invites to be a playmate, before Hilton claims he asked her repeatedly to be on the magazine, and “kept offering me more and more money” while continually adjusting the terms — from not “totally naked, just topless” to “I could wear whatever lingerie I wanted.” Hilton discusses her unauthorized sex tape and the impact of it at length, an experience she says she was coerced into doing and that she was ultimately shamed for by the “generous, evolved, and progressive” singer Pink and her “Stupid Girl” video. “I was afraid that if I shared that story, the next question would be, ‘Why didn’t you speak up at the time?’ and I had no answer for that. He followed me,” she recalls, adding that she ducked into the bathroom and locked herself in a stall. Hilton reveals that she “had no intention of disclosing the truth” about her time at Provo Canyon School and the CEDU school in Running Springs, institutions that operate within the “troubled-teen industry” as psychiatric youth residential treatment centers. “The whole video is a not-at-all-subtle send-up of “porno paparazzi girls” in general and, specifically, me, in a parody of my infamous sex tape.” “The poster featured my face and the tagline: ‘Watch Paris die!,” she recalls.

I tried to hold on to the phone, but the enforcer lifted me off the ground and threw me into the SUV. She accepted the charges, and I was like, I went to the pay phone and called Kyle again. I guess I was running in circles part of the time. “I need to call Kyle Richards.” I pressed my ear to the door. I stretched my cramped legs and crept down the stairs. I need to make a collect call to—” Fuck. I need you to get me out of here.” I was so tired. A door on the back of the run-down building was blocked open, probably venting heat from the kitchen, and there was a narrow stairway just inside. The enforcers from CEDU came and went.

Yet in a new book titled simply Paris: The Memoir, Hilton is sharing her complicated story in her own words. The memoir sees Hilton reveal the deeper stories ...

“That was the first time I was vulnerable and showed my real side,” Hilton tells Vogue, speaking on Zoom from her home in LA. I feel that so many things happen to people in life that they take on as their own shame when it shouldn’t be on them at all.” Back then Hilton utilized her budding notoriety to build out a cultural legacy that includes, in part, The Simple Life, the catchphrase “that’s hot,” the reggae-tinged hit “Stars Are Blind,” and one juggernaut of a perfume line. Yet in a new book titled simply Paris: The Memoir, Hilton is sharing her complicated story in her own words. For so long, being a young girl, I was holding on to this shame when it wasn’t mine to be held onto. As someone who became the It girl in the early aughts, primarily through paparazzi snaps and partying, she embodies a particular brand of self-determined fame.

In her new book "Paris: The Memoir," Paris Hilton reveals a surprising number of dark and tragic turns in her golden-girl life.

“At that moment in my life, I was in no way capable of being a mother.” The couple [announced the birth, via surrogate, of their first child](https://pagesix.com/2023/01/24/paris-hilton-welcomes-first-baby-with-husband-carter-reum/), a son named Phoenix, on social media, in January. “The decision to send me away is a rough topic for my parents,” she admits. And Hilton astutely notes that she “would not have had the poor taste to dedicate a porn flick to the victims” of 9/11. “He sounded distant and cool,” she writes, “saying it was too late, it was already out there. Hilton writes that the teacher, “Mr. That doesn’t even exist.’ I thought it was something in the movies.” I just wasn’t capable of being honest or loyal or whole.” Salomon told her that “it was just for us, no one else would ever see it. “The lighting would have been better,” she writes. The camera angles and editing would have been more flattering.” What the actual f–k does that even mean?)'”

And yeah, I think just what I went through, it made it really difficult for me to feel comfortable about that. People used to just be so free and just actually have fun and talk and dance. My mom and my sister and I just have been prank calling people for so many years. I really see the character that I invented as a trauma response to what I went through, where I just kind of wanted to invent this kind of perfect-life Barbie doll character just to not have to think of the trauma that I had went through. Now I’ve parlayed it into a huge business and a brand. [in what could be described as a New York accent] I would talk like this, and “I’m from Brooklyn” and “Paris is going to be available. And I just know that the little girl in me would be so proud of who I am today. So it’s just better to have another phone for that. And I feel that it was almost — or, it is and it was — a mask where I just felt like I could be someone else. I just have to check her schedule.” It worked. And now that I’ve written this book, people are just realizing that I’ve lived through some very traumatic experiences, and it was really difficult to put them on paper. I know that I’m so proud of the woman I’ve become.
