Paris Hilton’s recent documentary ‘This is Paris’ brought to light the alleged abuse that students at the school Provo Canyon experienced.
Hilton organised a demonstration alongside fellow ex-students that attended Provo Canyon and similar disciplinary institutions in the area.
“It’s something so traumatic that you don’t even want to think it’s real… It’s something I blocked from my memory for forever,” Paris spoke to the crowd outside.
If you haven’t watch the documentary, the story goes, Hilton was sent to a number of disciplinary schools around the ages of 16-17 due to her descent into the NYC party scene.
During her 11 months at Provo Canyon, she finally opened up about the abuse she received there from physical beatings, being watched whilst she showered, forced to take unknown pills and actual isolation lock up.
Since the documentary came out, many other students have come forward with similar experiences and the school is under investigation.
Hilton has also set up a Change.org petition to get the school shut down and has made it her mission to stop all schools that abuse their children like this.
“Provo Canyon is just the first one that I want down…from there, it will be a domino effect.”
