Luke Grimes said he wanted to work with Kelsey Asbille on a Yellowstone spinoff before 'Marshals' hinted at Monica's possible death. After Yellowstone ended in November 2024, Asbille told The Hollywood Reporter she still saw Kayce and Monica as "endgame." Grimes said he and Asbille would "absolutely say yes" if creator Taylor Sheridan wanted to write it. CBS later picked up 'Marshals', following Kayce as he joins an elite unit of the U.S. Marshals in Montana. The show also stars Arielle Kebb

00:00Today I'm interviewing one of the most defining figures from the last quarter century of celebrity
00:05history a true icon Paris Hilton and I started our careers around the same
00:10time in the two thousands I wrote about her in the pages of the magazines I've worked for she was the
00:15original influencer as the socialite queen of the nightlife with the famous last name
00:20after a very public betrayal involving a leaked sex tape Paris did something people did
00:25expect she leveraged her notoriety and built a ground-breaking reality show
00:30an entertainment empire that she estimates to be worth one billion dollars today
00:35she's a multi-hyphenate entrepreneur with ventures in music fashion skincare and even
00:40as 30 fragrances and for many people the idea of Paris Hilton still comes
00:45up someone impossibly unrelatable wrapped in luxury and privilege she's the last
00:50person you'd imagine to be just like us but in recent years Paris has evolved beyond
00:55just being a successful businesswoman she's become more vulnerable and opened up to tell her full
01:00story and what was really going on behind the glitter and glamour in doing so she's made
01:05valuable contributions to the world in a 2020 documentary this is Paris she told her how
01:10the following story of being sent off to Utah's Provo Canyon School and became an advocate for
01:15survivors of the troubled teen industry leading to the passing of legislation reform she also
01:20uses her platform to talk about the misogynistic treatment of women in media and her charity
01:25work including launching funds for wildlife relief and is a vocal advocate for animals
01:30for social welfare and for national welfare and for the neurodivergent and the LGBTQ communities
01:35So although Paris may live the high life and may or may not have an entire...
01:40...dedicated to her 10,000 pairs of sunglasses, she has challenges and setbacks that...
01:45...to reveal, she may just be just like us. Today we'll dive deep into her life and...
01:50...documentary Infinite Icon, a visual memoir and assess how just like us...
01:55...this is Paris Hilton.
02:00So do you have a room for 10,000 sunglasses?
02:04I have lots of sunglasses.
02:05And that was at my other house that I just moved into. So this house...
02:10...has my glam room and it has my 10,000 sunglasses in it, yeah.
02:14So I like to start...
02:15...at my interviews with a little ritual about something personal about the person...
02:19...and I was so dumb.
02:20Confounded that you have 30 perfumes. I asked your team to send me some.
02:25...so that we could test them. So tell me about this one.
02:28This is my 30th fragrance.
02:30And it's called Iconic. And it is so beautiful. It has like...
02:34It really...
02:35...the rose tint. I love rose.
02:37Yes.
02:38It's like peony, raspberry...
02:40...rose. Those are some of the notes. And it's just like...
02:45...the house is just like very...
02:47...light, summery.
02:49...gorgeous.
02:50And I feel like men and women could both wear it.
02:53I would... I wear rose tint tones.
02:55And sometimes.
02:56I love it.
02:57What...
02:58If you've got 30 perfumes, how do you decide what...
03:00...to wear in the morning?
03:02I...
03:03...just kind of like what mood I'm in.
03:05I love that I have one literally for like every day of the month because there's 30.
03:08And do you only wear your own?
03:09Yeah.
03:10Yes.
03:11I've not worn another person's perfume since I was a little girl.
03:14But it's such a...
03:15...because when I was a little girl I would always go into my mom's boudoir and she collects perfumes.
03:20And my sister and I would be playing with all of them.
03:22And I was like, Mom, one day I'm going to have my own perfume.
03:25So...
03:25So now to have just released my 30th is just another dream come true.
03:28Well, it's not just like us to have...
03:30...but they are quite reasonable, right?
03:32What a surprise point.
03:33Yes.
03:34These are at Ulta Beauty.
03:35And for the size, this one's 80.
03:38So we're here in your craft room.
03:40And this helps your ADHD, right?
03:42It does.
03:43This is like...
03:44If you...
03:45If you looked inside my mind, what it looks like.
03:47I feel like the camera can't see at all because like...
03:50...the top with the rainbow and the butterflies, the clouds.
03:53Like...
03:54It feels like a dream.
03:55And when I walk in here with the kids, like we have so much fun doing art and just hanging out and...
04:00It's also my office and I love being able to look out the window and see...
04:05...like my 11-11 office and the waterfall and the just beautiful backyard.
04:10And all of it.
04:11It just...
04:12It's your safe space.
04:13Yeah.
04:14It just literally looks...
04:15Like when I was little, I would make like mood boards and like manifest what I wanted.
04:20In life, I really...
04:21Like this is what it was.
04:22And crafting gives you that...
04:23Yeah.
04:24That safe space.
04:25I love it.
04:26Well, you're...
04:27We're here in your home.
04:28It's absolutely beautiful.
04:29It's Beverly Hills.
04:30It is not quite just like us, but it is very unapologetically you.
04:35Are there any elements of just like us around the house?
04:38Are there like piles of unfolded lawns?
04:40Are there laundry?
04:41Are there dishes fill in the sink?
04:42I feel like it's just like...
04:45Any other family's house with kids.
04:47You know, there's toys everywhere.
04:49There's...
04:50Of course, like the laundry room as a laundry.
04:52Um, but then also we have like a water slide and...
04:55Like the pink tennis court and all the other fun things.
04:59It's like...
05:00The ultimate fun house.
05:01Like I feel like this is like the house I dreamed of since I was a little girl.
05:05So it's fabulous, but it's relatable and family just like everybody else.
05:09Just like regular folks.
05:10And I think that's what your new documentary really shows as well.
05:14It's an...
05:15It's an exploration into the human side of you, just like our side of you.
05:19Because it shows your...
05:20Life as a music icon and it marries that with the vulnerability of what...
05:25You've gone through.
05:26Behind the stardust and the glitter, it says I am...
05:30You're human.
05:31Like what do you want people to take away from the documentary?
05:34I feel that...
05:35This is really like a third part of a trilogy.
05:38Like the first time I really opened up...
05:40And, you know, showed people who I was, was through my first documentary.
05:44This is Paris.
05:45And then going even deeper through my memoir.
05:48And now in this part...
05:50With Infinite Icon, it's like my whole life through the lens of music.
05:55And just going back, you know, from the beginning, since I was a...
06:00Little Girl and all these dreams that I had.
06:02But then just going into so much more.
06:05Because I feel like within these past five years, I've just been on this whole journey.
06:10Of self-discovery and just learning so much and healing so much.
06:15And just so much has happened.
06:16So I just wanted to show that story and...
06:20I feel like it's also a story that others can relate to as well.
06:22I think we're going to talk through lots of those different points.
06:25On there, but to start with the music, I loved seeing you on the stage and so happy.
06:30And it being such a fulfilling journey.
06:32How does it feel to be up there when you're performing?
06:35When I'm on stage, it feels like the most incredible, magical feeling.
06:40In the world, just seeing everyone in the audience so happy and...
06:45excited and screaming and crying and singing along and dancing and just the...
06:50energy and love in the room is like another level.
06:53And when I'm up there, I just feel like...
06:55this was what I was born to do.
06:56It's funny because I've followed your career and worked with...
07:00you and covered your career for so long.
07:03And I never realized that music...
07:05was the pure love.
07:07And so, like, it made me wonder watching...
07:10the documentary.
07:11Do you feel that becoming famous before you explore music...
07:15hampered your ability to become a pop star quicker?
07:18Yeah, I do.
07:19I think that...
07:20just, you know, from doing The Simple Life, like a reality show...
07:23I think anyone who does reality...
07:25and then if they go into music...
07:27you're just not going to be taken seriously.
07:29And...
07:30especially during the early 2000s...
07:32when just the media...
07:34was...
07:35just extremely cruel to young women in the industry.
07:38So...
07:40it was always...
07:41really hurtful to me because it was just such a dream of mine,
07:44you know.
07:45ever since I could remember what I'd love to do...
07:47since I was literally, like, three years old.
07:49Like...
07:50I just...
07:51always wanted to be a pop star...
07:52but...
07:53I just felt that...
07:54my music didn't...
07:55didn't get the chance that it deserved...
07:56because...
07:57the media was controlling everything back then...
07:59and...
08:00now today, with social media, I'm actually able to hear what...
08:03the fans and people really think.
08:05so...
08:06And you can control your own narrative...
08:07and have your own voice.
08:08Yes, exactly.
08:09Well, I was a part of that media...
08:10you were at the time...
08:11I don't think I was mean to you...
08:12but I'd like to apologise...
08:13and...
08:14but...
08:15have you got any questions...
08:15for me about, like, at that time...
08:17covering the media and how unfair it was?
08:19Like...
08:20for you, I'm sure, just being in...
08:22the newsroom...
08:23Yeah.
08:24like...
08:25were you ever...
08:25pressured for them...
08:26to try...
08:27to make you...
08:28do or say things that you felt...
08:29like...
08:30uncomfortable asking?
08:31like...
08:32you felt like it was...
08:33going too far sometimes?
08:34I think there were times when there were...
08:35stories...
08:36where...
08:37I look back...
08:38and I'm like...
08:39why...
08:40did...
08:41they take that...
08:42direction...
08:43and it questions...
08:44I think...
08:45I believe media reflects society...
08:47and society was meaner back then...
08:49and that's...
08:50what people wanted...
08:51now people don't...
08:52want that...
08:53there's different meaner elements...
08:54on social media...
08:55but I think it's an...
08:56interesting question...
08:57or I think...
08:58there are certainly things...
08:59I regret being involved in.
09:00back at the time...
09:01and...
09:02I think the media has done better...
09:03in recent years...
09:04and I hope you find that...
09:05as well...
09:06definitely...
09:07I know that...
09:08so many of the things...
09:09you know...
09:10the way that...
09:10myself and other girls...
09:11were treated back then...
09:12would not happen today...
09:13it would not be accepted...
09:14so at least it's...
09:15changed for other people...
09:16so I think that's...
09:17like the silver lining...
09:18you had to go for...
09:19a lot of pain...
09:20to get there...
09:21a big theme from the documentary...
09:22of music saving your life...
09:23tell me...
09:24how that worked for you...
09:25just...
09:27you know...
09:28just from going through...
09:29so many traumatic experiences...
09:30as a teenager...
09:32and...
09:33you know...
09:34it was just so...
09:35painful...
09:36and traumatizing...
09:37and...
09:38when I got out...
09:39of those boarding schools...
09:40I just remember...
09:41like when I would...
09:42go out at night...
09:43it was like...
09:44the one thing...
09:45that I would just...
09:45forget about...
09:46all the pain...
09:47and just like...
09:48lose myself in the music...
09:49and have so much fun...
09:50and I just...
09:50felt...
09:51like this whole community...
09:52or I just felt...
09:53so accepted...
09:54and...
09:55no one was...
09:56judgmental...
09:55it was just...
09:56all about having...
09:57an incredible time...
09:58and...
09:59just...
10:00I don't know...
10:01I just...
10:02I love music...
10:03I love to dance...
10:04I love the lights...
10:05I love...
10:06the people...
10:05the escapism...
10:06yeah...
10:07you've been through...
10:08so much...
10:09and you touched...
10:10on some of it there...
10:10what has been...
10:11the hardest thing...
10:12to recover from...
10:13you've dealt with...
10:14sexual abuse...
10:15as a kid...
10:15so...
10:16the sex tape...
10:17the media treatment...
10:18what was the...
10:19what's...

10:20thing to heal from...
10:21do you think?
10:22hmm...
10:23all of it...
10:24you know...
10:25I think...
10:25these are things...
10:26that will...
10:27definitely affect me...
10:28for the rest of my life...
10:29but...
10:30especially...
10:30being...
10:31in these schools...
10:32which...
10:33my parents were told...
10:34it was called...
10:35a...
10:35emotional growth...
10:36boarding schools...
10:37and...
10:38they were sold...
10:39a lie...
10:40these places...
10:41are so many...
10:40manipulative...
10:41and...
10:42their marketing tactics...
10:43everything...
10:44they had brochures...
10:45where kids were...
10:45smiling...
10:46and...
10:47there was like...
10:48rainbows...
10:49and people were...
10:50riding horses...
10:51and everyone...
10:52looked so happy...
10:53in that situation...
10:54and...
10:55it was terrifying...
10:56just to be around...
10:57these adults...
10:58who...
10:58were literally...
10:59abusing...
11:00all of us...
11:01in so many ways...
11:02and...
11:03it's just...
11:04it took...
11:05many years...
11:06for me...
11:07to even talk about it...
11:08it was so...
11:08traumatizing...
11:09where it took me...

11:1120 years...
11:12to even tell anyone...
11:13why do you think...
11:14there was...
11:15a shame...
11:16attached to it...
11:17definitely...
11:18and I think that's...
11:18the way they get away...
11:19with it...
11:20where they shame...
11:21the kids in these places...
11:22so much...
11:23where they're...
11:23we...
11:24were just too...
11:25embarrassed...
11:26and scared...
11:27to talk about it...
11:28and it was just...
11:28so...
11:29the things that happened...
11:30were just so like...
11:31crazy...
11:32it just...
11:33it...
11:33you wouldn't feel like...
11:34anyone would believe you...
11:35or...
11:36and...
11:37you kind of...
11:38go into...
11:38being told you're a bad kid...
11:39this is why you're here...
11:40yeah...
11:41and it just...
11:42it was just...
11:43it's horrible...
11:44what they do in these places...
11:45and plus...
11:46they get away with it...
11:47because they can...
11:48say to the parents...
11:48oh...
11:49they're...
11:50they're bad kids...
11:51they're lying...
11:52they're manipulating...
11:53they're trying to...
11:54you know...
11:55go home...
11:53so they're gonna say...
11:54that we're abusing them...
11:55they're gonna say this...
11:56they kind of tell the parents...
11:57what they're actually doing...
11:58they're lying...
11:59they're lying...
12:00and of course...
12:01if you're sending your child...
12:02to a place...
12:03and you think...
12:03they're gonna be protected...
12:04and you have no idea...
12:05the type of people...
12:06that work at these places...
12:08it's...
12:09you know...
12:10a recipe for disaster...
12:11I mean...
12:12I read some of...
12:13in your memoir...
12:13that...
12:14you're encouraged...
12:15to verbally abuse...
12:16each other...
12:17and then hug each other...
12:18afterwards...
12:18to untangle...
12:19mental abuse like that...
12:20it's...
12:21it just...
12:22I don't understand it...
12:23it blows my mind...
12:24how they think...
12:25that that's therapy...
12:26and when you go...
12:27into a place...
12:28and you...
12:28come out...
12:29more traumatized...
12:30than when you went in...
12:31Did it make you scared...
12:32of therapy...
12:33after that?
12:34Yeah...
12:33I've never had therapy...
12:34You've never had...
12:35therapy after that...
12:36because...
12:37it made me not...
12:38trust anyone...
12:38especially...
12:39people...
12:40like therapists...
12:41because I just thought...
12:42they were all...
12:43those type of people...
12:43and...
12:44um...
12:45it was just...
12:46a neat...
12:47that being a mom...
12:48it just makes me...
12:49even more...
12:50just...
12:51upset...
12:52and that's why...
12:53I just want to...

13:04it's been so difficult...
13:05especially for my mom...
13:06and dad to hear...
13:07about these things...
13:08because they had...
13:09no idea...
13:10the forgiveness...

13:12they were tricked...
13:13the forgiveness...
13:14process for you...
13:15with that...
13:14it must have been...
13:15so difficult...
13:16because I knew...

13:19none of the parents...
13:20knew that this was happening...
13:21and...

20:10do you say...
20:11to people...
20:12who say...
20:13you've had it...
20:12easy...
20:13because...
20:14because you came...
20:15from money...
20:16I could totally...
20:17understand...
20:18people saying that...
20:17because of course...
20:18I'm very...
20:19privileged...
20:20that I'm...
20:21you know...
20:22came from a family...
20:22where I've been...
20:23able to...
20:24learn so much...
20:25from such...
20:26incredible...
20:27business...
20:27men...
20:28and women...
20:29and...
20:30just...
20:31you know...
20:32coming from...
20:33my last name...
20:32as well...
20:33so...
20:34but I've seen a lot...
20:35of other people...
20:36who come from...
20:37you know...
20:37prestigious families...
20:38and...
20:39a lot of them...
20:40don't do anything...
20:41like...
20:42a lot of people...
20:43I know...
20:44like...
20:45they just get like...
20:46an allowance...
20:47from their parents...
20:48still...
20:49they've never...
20:50worked a day...
20:51in their life...
20:52because they...
20:53are just...
20:54handed everything...
20:55and...
20:56they've never...
20:57had to work...
20:58for any of it...
20:57so...
20:58yes...
20:59I can understand people...
21:00they don't know...
21:01and don't see...
21:02how much work...
21:02has went into...
21:03everything that I do...
21:04and...
21:05just how...
21:06what I've created...
21:07and what I've built...
21:07and...
21:08you know...
21:09what I've...
21:10been through...
21:11on top of all that...
21:12so I think if people...
21:13know me...
21:14they understand...
21:14but then...
21:15if there's...
21:15like an outsider...
21:16who just...
21:16you know...
21:17sees...
21:17the name Paris Hilton so I can understand how some people would think that because I would say I'm
21:22self-made but like my granddad paid me to go to journalism school everybody's gonna get some help
21:26how much
21:27help did you get at the beginning um I like used to get like an allowance but
21:32I haven't got anything since I was 18. 18 so that's the same as me my
21:37mine was probably 21 through college so you didn't get money from a parent
21:42so there's no trust fund nothing like that I've been working since I was 16
21:47and so they didn't help with the deposit for a house or anything like that I did everything on my own
21:51so that's
21:52really not fair that people like criticize you for being not believing that you're
21:57self-made because there's a New York Post thing saying fans are reacting saying she's delusional
22:01thinking she's self
22:02right if they actually knew everything and saw everything they would understand
22:07that that's that's really interesting so congratulations how will you handle that balance
22:12balance with your own kids because obviously you've been incredibly successful
22:17how will you create the balance of trying to work out how much to support to give them
22:22uh I think it's you know I've just from growing up in this way and seeing so many
22:27others I think if you spoil your children you will destroy them so that's something
22:32that my husband and I talk about where we of course want to give them the most beautiful life make them so happy but
22:37we also want to instill that work ethic in them and make them want to do something with their own
22:42lives and I think with my babies growing up and seeing just how hard I work and
22:47everything I accomplish it's going to be really inspirational to them and that's why I've built so
22:52much at the house where I have like my recording studio here the podcasting studio the
22:57photo studio just like so much of my work I'm able to do from home and my kids are always
23:02there watching everything so I feel like that will be instilled in them just like any
23:07so I'm in a meeting here like they're sitting on my lap so like I feel like even though they're babies
23:11they're soaking it
23:12in and they'll continue to do so throughout their life so um yeah
23:17for my kids I just want them to be so happy and be incredible human beings and
23:22I want them to do whatever makes them happy you've talked a lot about reclaiming your narrative
23:26what's one
23:27misconception about Paris Hilton that you're still trying to correct
23:30I feel like I've been such
23:32an open book in the past five years where I've discussed everything
23:37so I don't really think there's any anymore I feel like I've cleared up so many misconceptions
23:42I feel like before they just you know thought I was a dumb blonde because of the simple life
23:47but I've proved that I am not a dumb blonde I'm just very good at pretending to be on
23:52well that comes on to my next question actually I loved in the
23:57movie when um you're doing a recording and somebody says you can use your real voice
24:02on this one and it reminded me I was on your BFF show with you back in the day
24:07and we would record and you'd have this baby voice saying that's hot
24:10and then we'd go off and you'll be with
24:12Benji talking about beats in this voice so low and I would just be like she's two different
24:16people
24:17and so like you you pretended to be somebody
24:22was that where did that come from was that protectionism protecting yourself by being
24:27a caricature or was that strategically to play a part and earn money
24:32I think you know I didn't even realize until you still do it
24:37that was higher Lola that was Lola see I literally can't even control it I think it's just such a part of me now
24:42because I've been doing it for so long um but I do think it was a trauma response to what I want
24:47I went through um where I just kind of wanted to build this perfect like a Barbie doll
24:52life and like a Disney kind of Barbie
24:57character
24:58and then um you know getting the simple life and then the producer
25:02is telling me you know we want you to play this kind of blonde spoiled airhead
25:07and play into this character and this was the first reality show and I had no idea
25:12I'd have to continue on that character for five seasons straight and then every talk show
25:17and everything I would go on I would be the character and then I just kind of got stuck in it almost because
25:22the whole world thought that's who I really was and I'm also a very naturally shy person
25:27so I feel like being the character it made it easier for me to kind of
25:32be silly and say say the ridiculous things I don't know I feel like if the simple life had me
25:37been talking in my normal voice and not playing the character it would not have been the show that it was
25:42I can see that I know Nikki your sister and she's shy too and that that shyness
25:47comes across with both of you and it's an understanding that like you're playing a part
25:52to get through social anxiety sometimes I'll do that at parties like I've got to be down
25:57wait for tonight so like how do you deal with social anxiety now
26:02I still have social anxiety and I think that might be the ADHD as well because I'm just so
26:07in my head all the time and I get just I think also since the pandemic like
26:12I've gotten just like way more anxiety than I used to
26:17but then if I'm around like if I bring like the best friend or like I'm with like a group of people I trust
26:22then I feel more comfortable but if I'm just like going in somewhere and not knowing
26:27anyone sometimes I get a little nervous but I think that's normal I feel like everyone
26:31I mean it's just like us
26:32it's just like regular folks everybody deals with mental health issues but people wouldn't imagine that Paris
26:37Hilton this striking beautiful blonde woman with everything would be nervous going into
26:42going into an event yeah I think people would definitely be surprised to know that
26:47what's your relationship with the character of Paris Hilton these days
26:52I think before I saw it as like a form of protection and now I see it as
26:57like my just fun silly side like you know there's a time and
27:02place for everything and like when I'm doing TikToks or just like doing certain content or
27:07you know like different campaigns with brands and they want me to play the character like I
27:12I will do it and I love doing it and then obviously when I go to
27:17DCC and I'm speaking on Capitol Hill and talking about serious subjects that's when you see
27:22like the real side of me but yeah I just I couldn't do it
27:27back and forth we can all have silly sides and serious sides so it's fun
27:32I think a lot of artists and people do like they are a lot of people I've spoken to like actors
27:37Beyonce, Sasha Fierce, JLo, Jennifer Lopez, we all have that and
27:42we all have the one when we're at home you know chilling in our sweats and just like
27:47back and just like ourselves so you are just like us you're playing the part of an entitled heiress
27:52but now 20 years have passed I have to ask you the question was the warm-up
27:57question set up or did you really not know what warm-up was at the time
28:03I did
28:04you did that
28:05I did yeah
28:06you do
28:07I just thought
28:07I thought it would be a funny line
28:08and you came up with a line
28:10I just yeah it wasn't like I thought about it
28:12in advance because I didn't even know we were going to talk about Walmart but when it came up I was like in my mind
28:17I was like this will be funny I had no idea it would be such an iconic line that people to this day still say
28:22and now I have like my entire kitchenware and home
28:27your fragrances were in Walmart
28:29all of it yeah so
28:30when was the last time you were in Walmart?
28:32I was there two weeks ago in Arkansas actually I go there all the time
28:37to go meet with the whole team out there and I was showing them all the new products from my new line
28:42for Paris and Pups and my new homeware line and kitchenware line and
28:47storage line and all of it I have so I have like over 400 SKUs of products
28:52inside of Walmart so now I know they don't sell walls they sell Paris Hilton Pratt
28:57you're just a comedy icon
29:00moving on to something a bit more difficult the sex
29:02the sex tape it's really heartbreaking looking back on the doc in the documentary and you talk
29:07about it that you had no agency about this besides Pamela Anderson
29:12you were the first celebrity to go through this publicly and
29:17internet was different copyright was different it was a wild wild west and now it would be impossible
29:22to happen like was there no way of stopping it coming out how was that
29:27time it was just humiliating
29:32so painful I did not want to leave my house I was just
29:35I was just
29:37it was just you know just trust somebody and have them violate
29:42violate me like that was just the most horrible thing that you could do to a person
29:47and there was nothing that I could do about it and
29:52yeah that's something that will haunt me the rest of my life and if that happened to
29:57the day it would be illegal
29:59um
30:01so
30:02I mean I think
30:03like another thing I went through that now would be illegal for people today so I think
30:07that again is the good part that other girls don't have to go through that but um
30:12yeah that was um
30:14I mean when you frame it that this was a young girl
30:17who didn't
30:18who was coerced to do this and then was publicly humiliated and
30:22flogged for it afterwards it like it really wasn't really
30:27wasn't fair I'm not going to mention the name of the guy because you cleverly didn't do that
30:32in the dark
30:33have you ever spoken to that ex again?
30:35no
30:36would you ever have
30:37conversation with him?
30:38no
30:39have you thought about when your kids find out
30:42about the sex tape and how you'll approach it with them?
30:45that
30:47that's going to be a really just painful subject to talk about like
30:52I don't even know
30:53like I haven't even thought about what I'm going to say since they're only two years old right
30:57now
30:58um
30:59but
31:00now
31:01um
31:02right
31:03now
31:04um
31:06but
31:07i'm
31:08uh
31:09So it's just horrible and now just being a mom again just think
31:14about that just makes me even sadder for me that I had to go through all that.
31:19I had to talk publicly and have people vilify me for it when I was just a 19-year-old kid, basically.
31:24Yeah, the media were just brutal for you, the news media.
31:29Particularly the expert in the documentary said you're targeted because of your intelligence to play the game.
31:34Effectively, we kind of played the game together similar to Princess Diana.
31:37You worked with the press at times.
31:39Welcome them into your life, posed for the paparazzi.
31:42Do you think you paid?
31:44The price for that by welcoming the media?
31:46I didn't think that was fair at all.
31:48I was always...
31:49respectful and kind.
31:51And I knew that people were just trying to do their job.
31:54So I would always be nice to everyone.
31:57I never was one of those celebrities.
31:59They would tell them off or go off on them like I've seen some people do.
32:04So I just thought it was really unfair the way that they did that.
32:08I'm going to read some of that.
32:09I'm going to read some of the headlines from the documentary and just ask you how did they make you feel.
32:14Back then, like the idea that this was a description of a young woman in a...
32:19early 20s.
32:20Paris Hilton, what's the point?
32:21Famous for nothing.
32:22Bimbo summit.
32:23No brains.
32:24It was all fame.
32:25A new low for celebrity culture.
32:27Like, you're human just like the rest.
32:29Of us.
32:30How did that feel at the time?
32:31It was really hurtful.
32:33You know, I was...
32:34I was just a young girl just living my life, but I had the whole world watching.
32:39And judging and picking everything apart and just...
32:43I felt...
32:44I felt like no matter what I did or what I accomplished, people just...
32:49refuse to...
32:50I don't know, just see...
32:52see me as like a human.
32:54Being.
32:55It was just like a cartoon character or like a punchline that they just...
32:59make fun of.
33:00And it just always hurt my feelings because I've always been such a sensitive...
33:04person as well.
33:05And then on top of it, having ADHD.
33:09We experience emotions like 10 times more than...
33:14a neurotypical person.
33:16And especially, there's something called RS.
33:19PTSD, which is rejection sensitive dysphoria, which 99% of people...
33:24with ADHD experience.
33:26So, to have things like said like...
33:29that...
33:30that...
33:31is just...
33:32physically pain.
33:34painful.
33:35Like it's like...
33:36being stabbed in the heart.
33:37Like it's just...
33:38I would...
33:39cry so much all the time, just like...
33:41constantly hearing things and people making up...
33:44lies and stories.
33:45It was just...
33:46a nightmare.
33:47What would you say to the people who wrote the...
33:49headlines now?
33:50Say...
33:51Look at me now, honey.
33:54I've always loved proving people wrong.
33:57So many...
33:58so much in my career.
33:59been underestimated and misunderstood.
34:01So now today, just to see...
34:04my life and everything that I've accomplished and...
34:07my beautiful family and...
34:09just everything that I've done.
34:11And now...
34:12I've had so many people come up and...
34:14apologize to me.
34:15So many reporters...
34:17just...
34:18people...
34:19on the street have said that.
34:20If I'm doing an interview...
34:21just so many people have said...
34:22I'm so sorry for the way that...
34:24myself and others treated you...
34:25because you did not deserve that.
34:27So it feels...
34:28it's very...
34:29very healing to hear that from people...
34:30to realize that they know it was wrong.
34:32What advice would you give...
34:34to the...
34:35to the young girl who's going through that now?
34:37Hmm...
34:39my advice would be that...
34:42you shouldn't listen...
34:44people like that...
34:45that...
34:46what matters most...
34:47is what you think of yourself.
34:49so don't let that outside noise...
34:51affect how you feel about yourself...
34:53because...
34:54a lot of people...
34:56can be mean...
34:57especially...
34:58you know...
34:59about the internet...
35:00and...
35:01you know...
35:02people are able to hide...
35:03behind a computer...
35:04and...
35:04it's a different...
35:05form of meanness now...
35:06it's different...
35:07I feel like the media...
35:08it wasn't like that...
35:09but then there's like the...
35:09internet trolls...
35:10who are just like...
35:11these people living in like...
35:12their parents' basement...
35:13like...
35:14miserable...
35:15with no life...
35:16and like...
35:17just sit on the computer all day...
35:18just writing...
35:19rude things...
35:19to people...
35:20like...
35:21I just would tell them...
35:22like...
35:23I would feel bad...
35:24for these people...
35:25that they...
35:24are that miserable...
35:26that they need to go...
35:27and try to...
35:28tear you down...
35:29and don't let it affect you...
35:30In the movie...
35:31I found it really interesting...
35:32you talking about...
35:33your ADHD...
35:34and thank you...
35:35I think...
35:36like...
35:37I believe...
35:38with mental health challenges...
35:39it's so important...
35:40to talk about them...
35:41and normalise...
35:39them...
35:40and destigmatise...
35:41them...
35:42and make people...
35:43feel less alone...
35:44and...
35:45you've been a leading...
35:44person...
35:45with ADHD...
35:46to do that...
35:47and...
35:48the quote...
35:49that really hit me...
35:50from the documentary...
35:51was...
35:52I have all the...
35:53ADHD...
35:54demon voice...
35:55who had had...
35:56all these things...
35:57still have...
35:58would have had...
35:59all these things...
35:58so...
35:59do you still...
36:00feel like that?
36:01It's...
36:02it's gotten...
36:03much better...
36:04like...
36:05now that I've...
36:06really...
36:07studied...
36:08and researched...
36:08and know...
36:09so much...
36:10about my ADHD...
36:11but...
36:12growing up...
36:13no one was...
36:14talking about it...
36:13especially...
36:14with...
36:15young girls...
36:16so...
36:17I had no idea...
36:18like...
36:18being in school...
36:19and constantly...
36:20getting in trouble...
36:21all the time...
36:22like...
36:23not able to focus...
36:23like...
36:24always in detention...
36:25always failing...
36:26like...
36:27all the tests...
36:28because I couldn't...
36:29remember anything...
36:28or like...
36:29losing my homework...
36:30just like...
36:31so many things...
36:32would happen...
36:33and...
36:34you know...
36:35people with...
36:36ADD...
36:37just like...
36:38you know...
36:39you know...
36:40people with...
36:41ADD...
36:42in school or anything no matter how hard I tried um and then
36:47now knowing that the voice is from that
36:52that are negative self-talk are not true like that is always a good thing so
36:57anytime I do have that happening I'll just immediately say that's not you that's just your adhd
37:02so that's how you manage it that's really I really love sharing the solutions to that's how you
37:07talk to this amazing doctor named Dr. Hallowell who was like one of the leading adhd
37:12psychiatrist and he has it as well and he calls it the
37:17demon it's called dmn which is like the default mode network
37:22what the real term for it is in the documentary you call it the demon voice I found it fascinating
37:27the idea that all these mean things are saying being said about you and the press but it's worse
37:32in your head that you were saying worse things about yourself yeah so that was just
37:37painful and I think through doing this documentary like I feel like I'd never even
37:42gave myself the credit for like how much I survived even going through that like after everything I'd already went through
37:47in these schools then you know coming out into Hollywood and then having the music
37:52the media say all these crazy things like it was just it was uh
37:57it was just so traumatizing back then so I'm so like grateful
38:02now to have healed from that and now I'm able to tell my story to others because I know there's so many
38:07many other you know kids who have ADHD who I'm sure going through the same thing
38:12right now and just to tell them and let them know that this is
38:17something that we all experience and that those things are not true and to be strong
38:22strong and to lean on in on it as your superpower because I wouldn't be the woman I am today
38:27without it as well I wouldn't be the entrepreneur I am I wouldn't be the creative I am I wouldn't have these
38:32so many different businesses without the ADHD so I want to inspire you
38:37others that this can be a superpower and you can just lean into what you
38:42love they say that we can't focus but that's not true we can hyper focus
38:47like no other we just can't focus on things that are boring but the things that like
38:52light us up we will focus like a superhero that's really interesting it's just all about
38:57the brains of work differently and so it the fact you're talking about and normalizing this and showing
39:02it's actually a positive not a negative is is a great example for society so thank you
39:07I've had so many families kids people come up to me and say thank you so much
39:12for writing your song ADHD like my child used to be so ashamed of it but now
39:17that's their anthem and they're singing it every morning and telling everyone ADHD is my song
39:22it's my superpower so I love how I'm able to reframe it especially for these young kids growing up
39:27with it because I know that a lot of them are struggling and back in the noughties you felt you couldn't
39:32admit to having any any weaknesses and now it's different opening up with your
39:37vulnerabilities is your superpower yes for sure growing up in the 2000s
39:42like no one was even saying the word mental health like if you heard that they'd be like what like mental
39:47hospital like they wouldn't understand that I'm a big believer and I've done a lot of work in the mental health
39:52space that like everybody has got somebody in the family who's going through something scratched beneath the surface of
39:57and I've got people with PTSD ADHD um clinical depression
40:02depression and it and it no people don't talk about it and we should encourage it make people feel less alone so
40:07thank you for all of your work thank you I think it's amazing seeing this new generation and how
40:12open they are just how you know we were all taught like if anything's wrong
40:17don't talk about it just like everything's fine but when you do talk about things it just shows
40:22like the power of vulnerability and telling your truth and just like letting
40:27it out and it just like helps you so much and then it makes others feel safe to open up as
40:32well and then it starts like this whole domino effect where so many people could heal around the world
40:37see you are just like us the relatable things are what matter so all of my gay friends
40:42are totally jealous I'm here with you at your house and until I saw this
40:47documentary I didn't really realize why you were a gay icon and I had
40:52tears streaming down my face when you said they are the ones who gave me the greatest gift
40:57showing me what it truly means to live my truth for so long I was weighed down by the shame
41:02over what I went through in the troubled teen industry I've never heard a straight person understand
41:07the shame that gay people go through living in a world feeling othered and not
41:12feeling welcomed and the fact that you could empathize with that with what you'd gone through
41:17through I found that really powerful so thank you when when did you realize
41:22your similarities with the gay community just especially getting out
41:27of those schools and then David LaChapelle and I were very close friends
41:32forever and I was one of his muses and he would take me to all the gay clubs so I was hanging out like him
41:37and Amanda Lepore and like Patricia Field and like that whole club scene and just
41:42feeling so like feeling so like much love so accepted just seeing
41:47these people who just like live their life out loud just beautiful inside and out
41:52and just learned so much from that just an incredible community
41:57community in so many ways pride is my favorite time of the year it's so much fun
42:02just being on stage performing going to all the gay clubs and feeling the energy
42:07the love in the room it's like nothing I can even describe it to so much
42:12fun well thank you thank you for your support the way you vocalize that connection to the
42:17community was so breathtaking like how have you dealt with that shame that
42:22you talked about I've just felt that a lot of the things that have happened in my life
42:27or because other people hurt me and something another message in this film that
42:32I want to have others know is that the shame should not
42:37be on us it should be on the people who hurt us and I was actually speaking
42:42with one of the survivors who went to Provo Canyon school with me and she said that
42:47that got to me when we were doing my first documentary and that's something that stuck with me ever since and
42:52it's so true I feel like so many of the times so many of us have held on to shame which
42:57never should have been on us it should have always been on that person who hurt us
43:02so I think that's such a powerful message for people to know in their hearts because I feel like
43:07that would take away a lot of pain from people if they knew that motherhood they say
43:12becoming a parent will humble you and make you just like us what's one way
43:17your kids have humbled you recently they are just my
43:22everything my world and every day with them just
43:27it feels like a dream come true I've always wanted to be a mom and now to have these two
43:32little angels who are just the cutest little fun like
43:37sweet smart they're just everything to me I'm
43:42so so lucky that I'm their mom when was your like latest
43:47breakdown in tears mommy meltdown moment they're such good kids I know
43:52I've never had like a meltdown moment they're really well behaved they're so well behaved they're so
43:57like just smart they're so kind they're so gentle
44:02they're on an amazing sleep schedule like they're just like the perfect kids
44:07when they become teenagers if they turn out to be wild how are you going to do with this
44:12I think about that a lot but that's that's that scares me
44:17you're not going to send them to a private school we know that definitely not
44:20um
44:22that's why even with this house like I want to like build like this world where they
44:27never want to sneak out because they'll just always want to invite all their friends here and this will be like the house everyone
44:32like is that with like movie nights and going in the pool and the water
44:37water slide and just like having so much fun where like I feel like they'll never want to leave
44:41and if
44:42if they try to sneak out we have the most advanced security system
44:47security guards cameras lasers everything so there will be
44:52no sneaking out on my watch so you're creating you're creating a safe environment
44:57so they don't want to leave and if they did they couldn't anyway
45:02what's something your mum and dad have taught you about life and parenting
45:07that you want to pass on to your kids or or is there anything you want to do differently
45:12i love that my mom and dad just always made every holiday

47:00or if someone in the family needs one we have lots of boys we talked about this
47:14you
47:05earlier about how trolls and social media are difficult and there's so much mum shaming on social
47:09like
47:10critiquing like a baby's physicality so appalling how do you handle
47:15things like that what does it bring out on you
47:17i'm like a protective mama bear so
47:20i get very protective and you know sometimes there
47:25there is you know people online who want to be mean and negative and i just think it's so
47:30it's so wrong to talk about a baby in a bad way or or just like
47:35in a cruel way so i am always very protective of it but

51:21Like, I don't need a man.
51:23And that's what I was...
51:24I was thinking and then met him.
51:25So they always say, like, love will find you when you're not looking...
51:29anything for it.
51:30And I never believed that either.
51:31But...
51:32I guess it's true because it worked with me.
51:34And so you've done so, so much.
51:38What...
51:39finished business have you got?
51:40What have you still got to prove?
51:41What's next?
51:42I feel like...
51:44I've accomplished, like, everything that I would want to in life.
51:48But I'm just gonna...
51:49continue on with everything I'm doing with 1111 Media and just all of the...
51:54different projects I have with that.
51:56And I'm very excited for...
