Despite the long list, there is A LOT that could not fit into this article.
Here are some of the juiciest moments fromParis new book:
Growing up Paris
1.
Rick and Kathy Hilton used to party with Andy Warhol at Studio 54.
Hilton first opened up about the darker elements of her life in the documentaryThis is Paris(2021).
Andy Warhol told her parents that Paris was going to be a big star.
Paris first went to a club when she was 12.
Her favorite song of all time isUltra Nates Free.
Paris was diagnosed with ADHD long ago but has only recently understood how much it affects her life.
She later got a GED.
She says she is a shy extroverted introvert.
Paris: The Memoiris available on Amazon and everywhere books are sold.
Her famous baby voice is a defense mechanism that comes out when shes uncomfortable.
She says her and Nicky aspired to be just like Bethenny and Kyle.
Kathy Hilton went to prep school with Michael Jackson and the two were close friends at the time.

OnReal HousewivesKathy Hilton says shes never gone on a girls trip.
Paris confirms this when she says her parents NEVER sleep apart.
When one travels, the other goes with them.

Paris and Nicole Ritchie both had their first kiss during a game of spin the bottle.
Growing up, Paris thought her dream job was veterinarian because she loves animals so much.
Paris predator teacher
17.
Paris and Carter, fromParis’ Instagram.
The teacher called her every night (Paris had her own phone line, it was the 90s).
One night the teacher showed up at her house and asked her to come outside.
She got in his car and he kissed her.
Her parents never mentioned the incident and the teacher never faced any consequences for grooming a student.
Sent away to Palm Springs
20.
After the incident Paris parents sent her away to Palm Springs to live with her grandmother for a year.
(ForReal Housewivesfans, this is the god damn house that Kyle supposedly stole from Kim).
Paris was devastated to learn her family moved back to New York City while she was in Palm Springs.
Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kellyyoull be bigger than all of them.
In ninth grade Paris first boyfriend was Randy Spelling son of Aaron and Candy and brother to Tori Spelling.
She hung out at their 56k square foot mansion in Bel Air.
She wanted to grow up and have a relationship just like her parents had with each other.
She said blow jobs were beneath me.
Thats for girls who are desperate.
You dont have to get on your knees.
Second assault
24.
She was drugged and passed out.
Things like what happened to me dont happen in a vacuum.
Somewhere, Im certain, there are many other women trying to forget the bad dream of that apartment.
Maybe if one of them had told someone, it wouldnt have happened to me.
And maybe if I had told someone, it wouldnt have happened to somebody else.
Thats why Im telling you now.
While she refused to think about it for decades, she has now come to terms with this rape.
She says she hopes this guy is scared shitless that shes not silent and compliant any longer.
After the rape she gave into pressure to sleep with Randy Spelling for the first time.
His friends were saying he would cheat on her if she didnt sleep with him.
Randy was 19 at the time and Paris was 15.
She writes that she loved Randy but froze up when he touched her.
In 10th grade Paris got to rejoin her family in NYC.
They lived in a 2500 square foot apartment in the iconic Waldorf Astoria.
She ended up going to the Professional Childrens School and was classmates with Macaulay Culkin and Christina Ricci.
She says Macaulay lived in an apartment near school, so they partied there a lot.
Around this time Paris started readingTime Out New Yorkreligiously so she knew what the best parties and events were.
Her parents found out and were furious and eventually she was kicked out of school.
Paris says she wasnt drinking or doing drugs during this time.
Paris was sneaking out so much that Kathy locked Paris in her room at night.
Nicky would only go out with Paris on weekends because she wanted to get good grades.
Institutionalized
33.
One covered her mouth while the other put her in handcuffs.
She fought against them as they forced her out of the familys Waldorf Astoria apartment.
On the way out she saw her parents silently watching.
Paris would become a victim of the troubled teen industry.
35.Psychology Todaysays the programs are similar to Jim Joness Guyana, Patty Hearsts kidnapping, or Zimbardos Prison Experiment.
Paris was put in an SUV with no door handles on the inside where she went into shock.
The two men who had seized her told her to shut up and stop crying.
She was told she was being sent to a private boarding school.
She was told if she didnt cooperate the men would hold her legs apart.
If this sounds crazy, the practice is still alive and well.
Dr. Phil is famous for sending child guests (likeDanielle Bregoli) on his show to these places.
While Paris parents paid for her visit, many children are sent there on public funds.
An average of $60,665 per child.
And thats kids funded by the taxpayers of just one state.
The millions CEDU raked in from insurance claims and private payers will never be known.
The school made sure the students viewed each other as enemies so they wouldnt be able to band together.
One of the programs psychiatrists lived with threeseparatesex offenders.
One of themkilled two children that had been studentsunder (obviously) suspicious circumstances.
The program housed children as young as 8.
(And yes, this is as violent as it sounds.
Kyle called Kathy who called the cops and they took Paris back to the school.
When she returned a staff member backhanded her so hard she fell to the ground.
Paris was transferred to another troubled teen program as punishment.
She escaped to the downtown Hilton where she called Kathy and told her what was happening.
Kathy said she could come home.
Instead, Kathy called the cops and they escorted Paris back to her captors.
Again at her new program the adult staff watched underage students while they showered.
This time the showers were a bucket of cold water and bar soap.
Paris observed other students passing out while doing hard labor.
Students were slapped or held on the ground with staff kneeling on their neck as punishment for asking questions.
If this sounds dangerous, it was.
In 2000 a student died after a staff member kneeled on their neck for 45 minutes.
Autopsies of dead students found them covered in bruises from constant forced labor and beatings.
Back at the camp, they made everyone sit on logs.
Thank God, he just beat the shit out of us.
At 17 Paris was sent to theProvo schoolwhere she was welcomed with a forced vaginal exam.
She didnt see the sun for the next eleven months.
Someday, I decided, Im going to work so hard and make so much money.
Like a million dollars.
And then Ill be safe and fuck trusting anyone ever again.
Becoming an It Girl
51.
Paparazzi became obsessed with a Paris-Lindsay Lohan feud when Lindsay said Paris dumped a drink on her.
Paris says she has no idea what Lindsay was talking about.
Of Lindsay Lohan, Paris says Were not close but I always wish her well.
She told her grandpa Hilton that she wanted to make a hundred million dollars.
He didnt laugh at her and took her seriously.
While he didnt give her money, he advised her and believed in her.
Later, he famously said Most of my life I was known as Conrad Hiltons son.
Now Im Paris Hiltons grandfather.
Harvey Weinstein encounter
58.
Paris met Harvey Weinstein at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000.
They had lunch with Paris producer friend and Weinstein was belligerent and creepy.
Weinstein was shaking the door trying to get in and yelling Ya wanna be a star???
Luckily event security noticed him going into the womens bathroom and intervened.
I told no one, because thats what you did back then.
It was like the bucket shower thing; if you wanted to survive, you just accepted it.
And I said, Nope.
I was embarrassed by it, and I have a pathological fear of embarrassment.
and I had no answer for that.
1 Night in Paris
59.
Salomon pushed her to make a sex tape for him and said hed done it with lots of women.
She said no over and over.
Salomon told her if she wouldnt do it, he would dump her.
She felt stupid and like she was making a big deal out of something adults do and gave in.
She was 19 and Salomon was 31.
- to get to be able to make the sex tape with Salomon she got drunk and took quaaluudes.
She never imaged the tape would come out firstly because the internet was so different when it was made.
As soon as she was told the tape was coming out she boarded a 14 hour flight.
The woman next to her noticed her crying and comforted her.
Paris opened up to the woman about what she was going through.
She later discovered the woman was planted in that seat and had recorded the conversation.
It was in print the next day.
The Simple Life
76.
Paris signed on forThe Simple Liferight away.
Nicole was also immediately game.
She ran into Chops as an adult, hes now an exec at Netflix.
Success and recent years
80.
Paris first manager turned down an offer for Paris to be the first celeb on Facebook.
Paris says she doesnt believe in overexposure.
Hugh Hefner begged her to pose forPlayboyand even offered her seven figures.
What especially bothered her was the depiction of her dog Tinkerbell being shot.
When someone asked Matt Stone about Paris being upset, he said That shows how fucked up she is.
Someone beats her and then says, All right, get her the fuck out of here.
As if the girl theyve just assaulted is a piece of garbage to be disposed of.
Thats the bar now…How is something like that acceptedby all of usas funny?
In doing this, she also examines some of her own bad behavior over the years.
For instance, she talks about regretting dressing up as a sexy Pocahontas for aPlayboyparty.
[Paris] said herself on the podcast, that would never happen today.
I would never do those jokes today.
She sometimes travels with extra tiaras so she can give them out as the spirit moves me.
For years and years Paris travelled most of the year.
After Cannes, its the Monaco Grand Prix.
She met her husband Carter over Thanksgiving break in the Hamptons at a family friends home.
Unlike all the other men she had ever dated, she felt comfortable kissing him right away.
Paris says shes never met a man who loves like Carter.
She thinks hes such a good person because hes from the Midwest and is close with his family.
Paris and Carter recently welcomed baby Phoenix Barron into the world.
I want you to know right now: The people who hurt you dont get the last word.
