00:00I think it's just important to remember who you are and remain the same person.
00:03I've been in this business for a very long time, and I've just always remained the same sweet girl.
00:09I never let it get to my head.
00:22It's living. That's hot. Loves it.
00:31I just created this brand and this persona and this character, and I've been stuck with her ever since.
00:39I've grown up in L.A. my whole life, so I always thought it was very fashionable and fun.
01:09Something happened in my childhood that I've never talked about with anyone.
01:27But I couldn't tell you guys because every time I tried, I'd get punished by them.
01:31I still have nightmares about it.
01:33Here we are at Paris's school.
01:40I was strangled, slapped across the face, watched in the shower by male staff, called vulgar names,
01:48forced to take medication without a diagnosis, not given a proper education,
01:55thrown into solitary confinement in a room covered in scratch marks and smeared in blood, and so much more.
02:09Now just seeing all of my looks now come back on the runway, it's really fun just to see just how ahead of my time I was back when I was a teenager in New York.
02:40I feel very proud to be a pioneer and trailblazer with having the first show, The Simple Life,
02:45and now to see so many coming after, it just makes me super proud.
03:10I've actually been watching The Simple Life through the pandemic.
03:15It's been a lot of fun just watching with my fiancé, so seeing it through his eyes is just very entertaining.
03:33I just felt so betrayed and I didn't want to be known as that.
03:37It's something that's changed my life forever and I'll never be able to erase it.

05:22This is Cooking With Paris.
05:39Welcome to my kitchen.
05:57I wish I could tell you that what I experienced to witness was unique or even rare, but sadly it's not.
06:03This bill creates an urgently needed bill of rights to ensure that every child placed into congregate care facilities is provided a safe and humane environment.
06:33As you can imagine, marrying Paris Hilton is quite different than what I expected.
06:41It's hot.
