Blake Lively's driver, Kevin Alexander, described an alleged "disturbing" conversation with Justin Baldoni during production of 'It Ends With Us'. In a deposition obtained by 'Us Weekly', Alexander said Baldoni discussed sexual relations and claimed he "was forced on and he forced himself on women." Alexander said the talk "took my focus off driving" and that Lively and one other person were in the car during his first meeting with Baldoni. He said he told Lively he felt "very uncomfortable"

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 education and social 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...
12:54continue...

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...
13:17that they had no idea...
13:18because that's...
13:19none of the parents...
13:20knew that this was happening...
13:21and...

17:22this is what...
17:23I love to do...
17:24more than anything...
17:25Have you got...
17:26advice from your...
17:27musical friends...
17:28like Brittany?
17:29we were just talking...
17:30about music...
17:31the other night...
17:32we were in Cabo...
17:33for her birthday...
17:34so it was such...
17:35an amazing night...
17:36and...
17:37yeah...
17:38we always love...
17:39to like...
17:40play music...
17:39to dance, and we were just talking about what our favorite songs are.
17:44And like, what type of music that we love, and...
17:46Do you think you could ever do anything with her?
17:49That would be iconic, so we'll see what happens.
17:54Yeah.
17:55I love her so much.
17:56She's an angel.
17:57And you threw her birthday party, was that accurate?
17:59Yeah.
18:00That's lovely that she's got such a good sisterly bond.
18:04With you, and you keep it very low-key as well, and I'm sure she appreciates that.
18:08You're someone who...
18:09Do you ever wish you weren't famous at all?
18:14Mm-hmm.
18:15I feel like this is something I was born...
18:19to do as well.
18:20I feel like there's certain people in life that this is like what they're meant to be.
18:24So, even though it's been so difficult and hard...
18:29I try to think about all the beautiful things that come with it, and I really see fame as...
18:34like a superpower to make people happy.
18:36So, I love that I'm able to just...
18:39make people's days by like taking a photo with them, or spending time with them, or just...
18:44anything, smiling, just...
18:46I feel like it just makes people so...
18:49happy.
18:50So, I think that...
18:51the good things you can do with it.
18:52And I love that I'm able to use my plow...
18:54platform just to make a difference in other people's lives.
18:57So, even though I'm...
18:59it has been very traumatizing at times...
19:01it's worth it.
19:02I like that.
19:03I love...
19:04I love that you're using your fame and your platform to do good in the world.
19:07How...
19:08how about money?
19:09How...
19:10do you think money brings you happiness?
19:11It does because I have worked so hard...
19:14and...
19:15success is something that has always really been a driving force for me.
19:19and...
19:20I feel very lucky just to grow up in my family and have incredible...
19:24business mentors of my grandfather and my parents...
19:28and I always have...
19:29love to make them proud...
19:31and...
19:32I love that I've created this entire...
19:34brand and empire...
19:35and now...
19:361111, my media company.
19:38So...
19:39it makes me happy because I'm able just to...
19:42feel that happiness.
19:44and I think that also just from going to those schools...
19:47and being so controlled...
19:49that I made a promise to myself...
19:50that I was going to work so hard...
19:52and become so successful...
19:53that...
19:54no one could ever control me or tell me what to do again.
19:57So I really see it as...
19:58freedom.
19:59So you used the pain that you went through...
20:01and the restrictions...
20:02and the abuse...
20:04to...
20:05to drive your...
20:06your...
20:07your ambition.
20:08Yes.
20:09What do you say to people who say you've had it easy...
20:12because...
20:13because you came from money?
20:14I could totally understand people saying that...
20:17because of course...
20:18I'm very...
20:19very privileged...
20:20that I'm...
20:21you know...
20:22came from a family...
20:23where I've been able to...
20:24learn so much from such incredible...
20:26businessmen...
20:27and women...
20:28and...
20:29just...
20:30you know...
20:31coming from my last name as well...
20:32so...
20:33but I've seen...
20:34a lot of other people...
20:35who come from...
20:36you know...
20:37prestigious families...
20:38and...
20:39a lot of them don't do anything...
20:41like...
20:42a lot of people I know...
20:43like...
20:44they just get like...
20:44allowance from their parents still...
20:45they've never worked a day in their life...
20:47and...
20:48I've also seen just how...
20:49how unhappy they are...
20:50because I feel like they have no...
20:51fulfillment in life...
20:52because they...
20:53are just...
20:54handed everything...
20:55and...
20:56they've never had to work for any of it...
20:57so...
20:58yes...
20:59I can...
20:59understand people...
21:00they don't know...
21:01and don't see...
21:02how much work has went into...
21:03everything that I do...
21:04and...
21:05just how...
21:06what I've created...
21:07and what I've built...
21:08and...
21:09you know...
21:10what I've...
21:09been through...
21:10on top of all that...
21:11um...
21:12so I think if people...
21:13know me there...
21:14understand...
21:15but then...
21:16if there's like an outsider...
21:17who just...
21:18you know...
21:19sees the name...
21:20Paris Hilton...
21:21so...
21:19so I can understand...
21:20how some people would think that...
21:21because I would say...
21:22I'm self-made...
21:23but like...
21:24my granddad...
21:24you need to go to...
21:25journalism school...
21:26everybody's gonna get some help...
21:27how much help...
21:28did you get at the beginning?
21:29um...
21:30I...
21:31like...
21:32used to get like an allowance...
21:33but I haven't...
21:34got anything since I was...
21:3418...
21:3518...
21:36so...
21:37that's the same as me...
21:38my...
21:39mine was probably...
21:39only one through college...
21:40so...
21:41you didn't get money...
21:42from your parents...
21:43there was no trust fund...
21:44nothing like that...
21:44I've been working since I was...
21:4616...
21:47and so they didn't help...
21:48with the deposit...
21:49for a house...
21:50or anything like that...
21:51no...
21:52I did everything on my own...
21:53that's really not fair...
21:54that people...
21:54like criticize you...
21:55for being...
21:56not believing...
21:57that you're self-made...
21:58because...
21:59there's a New York Post...
21:59saying fans are reacting...
22:00saying she's delusional...
22:01thinking she's self-made...
22:02if they actually knew...
22:04everything...
22:05and saw...
22:06everything...
22:07they would understand...
22:08that's...
22:09that's really interesting...
22:09congratulations...
22:10how will you handle...
22:11that balance...
22:12with your own kids...
22:13because of a...
22:14obviously...
22:15you've been...
22:16incredibly successful...
22:17how will you...
22:18create the balance...
22:19of...
22:19trying to work out...
22:20how much to...
22:21support to give them...
22:22I think it's...
22:23you know...
22:24just from growing up...
22:25in this way...
22:26and seeing so many others...
22:27I think...
22:28if you spoil your...
22:29children...
22:30you will destroy them...
22:31so that's something...
22:32that my husband and I...
22:33talk about...
22:34where...
22:34of course...
22:35want to give them...
22:36the most beautiful life...
22:37make them so happy...
22:38but...
22:39we also want to...
22:40instill...
22:39that work ethic...
22:40and make them...
22:41want to do something...
22:42with their own lives...
22:43and I think...
22:44with my babies...
22:44growing up...
22:45and seeing...
22:46just how...
22:47hard I work...
22:48and everything I accomplish...
22:49it's going to be...
22:50really...
22:49really inspirational to them...
22:50and...
22:51that's why...
22:52I've built so much...
22:53at the house...
22:54where I have like...
22:54recording studio here...
22:55the podcasting studio...
22:56the...
22:57photo studio...
22:58just like...
22:59so much...
22:59of my work...
23:00I'm able to do from home...
23:01and my kids are always there...
23:02watching everything...
23:03so I think...
23:04I feel like...
23:05that will be instilled in them...
23:06just like...
23:07anytime I'm in a meeting here...
23:08like they're sitting on my lap...
23:09so like...
23:10I feel like...
23:11even the other babies...
23:12they're soaking it in...
23:13and they'll continue to do so...
23:14throughout their life...
23:15so...
23:16yeah...
23:17I think...
23:18for my kids...
23:19I just want them to be...
23:19so happy...
23:20and be incredible human beings...
23:21and...
23:22I want them to do...
23:23whatever makes them happy...
23:24you've talked a lot about...
23:25reclaiming your narrative...
23:26what's one...
23:27misconception about...
23:28Paris Hilton...
23:29that you're still trying to...
23:30correct...
23:31I feel like I've been...
23:32such an open book...
23:33in the past five years...
23:34where I've...
23:35discussed...
23:36everything...
23:37so I don't really think...
23:38there's any anymore...
23:39I feel like...
23:40I've cleared up...
23:41so many misconceptions...
23:42I feel like...
23:43before...
23:44you know...
23:45thought I was a dumb blonde...
23:46because of the simple life...
23:47but...
23:48I've proved that I...
23:49I'm not a dumb blonde...
23:50I'm just very good at...
23:51pretending to be on...
23:52Well...
23:53that comes...
23:54on to my next question...
23:55actually...
23:56I loved in the movie...
23:57when...
23:58you know...
23:59doing the recording...
24:00and somebody says...
24:01you can use your real voice...
24:02on this one...
24:03and...
24:04it reminded me...
24:04I was on...
24:05your BFF show...
24:06with you back in the day...
24:07and we would record...
24:08and you'd have this baby...
24:09voice saying...
24:10that's hot...
24:11and then we'd go off...
24:12and you'd be with...
24:13Benji...
24:14talking about beats...
24:15and this voice...
24:14so low...
24:15and I would just be like...
24:16she's two different people...
24:17and so...
24:18like...
24:19you pretended to be somebody...
24:21was that...
24:22where did that come from?
24:24was that protectionism...
24:25protecting yourself...
24:26by being a caricature...
24:28or was that...
24:29strategically...
24:30to play a part...
24:31and earn money?
24:32I think...
24:33you know...
24:34I didn't even realise...
24:34until...
24:35You still do it!
24:36Was it high or low then?
24:37That was low then.
24:38See I...
24:39I literally...
24:40can't even control it...
24:41I think it's just...
24:42such a part of me now...
24:43because I've been doing it...
24:44for so long...
24:44um...
24:45but I do think it was...
24:46a trauma response...
24:47to what I went through...
24:48um...
24:49where I just kind of...
24:49wanted to build this...
24:50perfect...
24:51like a Barbie doll...
24:52life...
24:53and...
24:54like a Disney...
24:55kind of...
24:56I don't know...
24:57Barbie character...
24:58and then...
24:59um...
25:00you know...
25:01getting the simple life...
25:02and then the producer's telling me...
25:03you know...
25:04we want you to...
25:04play this kind of...
25:05blonde...
25:06spoiled airhead...
25:07and play into this character...
25:08and this was the...
25:09first reality show...
25:10and...
25:11I had no idea...
25:12I'd have to continue...
25:13on that character...
25:14for five seasons straight...
25:15and then...
25:16every talk show...
25:17and everything I would go on...
25:18I would be the character...
25:19and then I just kind of...
25:20got...
25:21stuck in it almost...
25:22because the whole world thought...
25:23that's who I really was...
25:24and I'm also a very...
25:25naturally shy person...
25:27so I feel like...
25:28being the...
25:29character...
25:30it made it easier...
25:31for me...
25:32to kind of...
25:33be silly...
25:34and say...
25:34ridiculous things...
25:35I don't know...
25:36I feel like...
25:37if the simple life...
25:38had me talking...
25:39in my normal voice...
25:40and not playing the character...
25:39it would not have been...
25:40the show...
25:41that it was...
25:42I can see that...
25:43I know...
25:44Nikki...
25:44she's shy too...
25:45and...
25:46that shyness...
25:47comes across...
25:48with both of you...
25:49it's an understanding...
25:50that like...
25:51you're playing a part...
25:52to get through...
25:53social anxiety...
25:54sometimes I'll do that...
25:55at parties...
25:56like...
25:57I've got to be down...
25:58wait for tonight...
25:59how do you...
25:59deal with...
26:00social anxiety...
26:01now?
26:02I still have...
26:03social anxiety...
26:04and I think...
26:05that might be...
26:06the ADHD as well...
26:07because I'm just...
26:08so in my head...
26:09all the time...
26:10and...
26:09I get...
26:10I think...
26:11also since the pandemic...
26:12like...
26:13I've gotten...
26:14just like...
26:15way more anxiety...
26:14than I used to...
26:15um...
26:16but then...
26:17if I'm around...
26:18like...
26:19if I bring like...
26:19the best friend...
26:20or like...
26:21I'm with like...
26:22a group of people...
26:23I trust...
26:24then I feel...
26:25more comfortable...
26:24but if I'm just like...
26:25going in somewhere...
26:26and...
26:27not knowing anyone...
26:28sometimes I get...
26:29a little...
26:29nervous...
26:30I think that's normal...
26:31I feel like everyone...
26:32I mean...
26:33it's just like us...
26:34it's just like...
26:35regular folks...
26:36everybody deals...
26:34with mental health issues...
26:35but people wouldn't imagine...
26:36that Paris Hilton...
26:37this striking...
26:38beautiful blonde...
26:39woman with everything...
26:40would be nervous...
26:41going into...
26:42going into an event...
26:43Yeah...
26:44I think people would...
26:45definitely be surprised...
26:46to know that...
26:47What's your relationship...
26:48with the character...
26:49of Paris Hilton...
26:50these days?
26:51Well...
26:52I think...
26:53before I saw...
26:54it was like...
26:55a form of protection...
26:56and now I see it as...
26:57like my...
26:58just fun...

27:26I'm...
27:27I'm...
27:28I'm...
27:29I'm...
27:30I'm...
27:31I'm...
27:32I'm...
27:33I'm...
27:34I'm...
27:35I'm...
27:36I'm...
27:37I'm...
27:38I'm...
27:39I'm...
27:40I'm...
27:41I'm...
27:42I'm...
27:43I'm...
27:44I'm...
27:45I'm...
27:46I'm...
27:47I'm...
27:48I'm...
27:49I'm...
27:50I'm...
27:51I'm...
27:52I'm...
27:53I'm...
27:54I'm...
27:55I'm...
27:56I'm...
27:57I'm...
27:58I'm...
27:59what a warm-up was at the time.
28:02I did.
28:04You did that?
28:04I did, yeah.
28:05You do.
28:06I just thought it would be a funny line.
28:08And you came up with it.
28:09I just, yeah, it wasn't like I thought about it in advance,
28:12because I didn't even know we were going to talk about it.
28:14But when it came up, I was like, in my mind,
28:16I was like, this will be funny.
28:18I had no idea.
28:19It would be such an iconic line that people,
28:21to this day, still say.
28:24And now I have, like, my entire kitchenware and homeware and
28:27Your fragrances were immoral.
28:29All of it.
28:29Yeah, so.
28:30When was the last time you were in Walmart?
28:32I was there two weeks ago.
28:34In Arkansas, actually.
28:36I go there all the time to go meet with the whole team out.
28:39And I was showing them all the new products from my new line
28:42for Paris and Pups.
28:43And.
28:44My new homeware line and kitchenware line and storage line and all of it.
28:49So I have, like, over 400 SKUs of products inside of Walmart.
28:53So now I know they don't.
28:54They don't sell walls.
28:55They sell Paris Hilton products.
28:57You're just a comedy icon.
28:59So, moving on to something a bit more difficult, the sex tape.
29:04It's.
29:04It's really heartbreaking looking back on the doc, in the documentary,
29:06and you talk about it, that you had no.
29:09agency about this.
29:10Besides Pamela Anderson, you were the first celebrity.
29:14You were the first celebrity to go through this publicly.
29:16And internet was different.
29:18Copyright was different.
29:19It was a wild, wild west.
29:20And now it would be impossible to happen.
29:23Like.
29:24Was there no way of stopping it coming out?
29:26How was that time?
29:27It was.
29:28It was.
29:29just.
29:30Humiliating.
29:31So painful.
29:32I did not want to.
29:34of my house. So I was just, it was just, you know, just trust something.
29:39And to have somebody and have them violate me like that was just...
29:44the most horrible thing that you could do to a person. And, um...
29:49there was nothing that I could do about it. And, um, yeah, that's something that will...
29:54haunt me the rest of my life. And if that happened today, it would be illegal.
29:59Um, so...
30:02I mean, I think...
30:03Like another thing...
30:04I went through that now it would be illegal for people today. So I think that,
30:07again, is the good part that other girls...
30:09don't have to go through that. But, um, yeah, that was, um...
30:14I mean, when you frame it that this was a young girl who didn't...
30:19was coerced to do this and then was publicly humiliated and then flogged for it afterwards.
30:24Like, it really wasn't... really wasn't fair. I'm not going to mention...
30:29the name of the guy because you cleverly didn't do that in the doc.
30:33Have you ever spoken to?
30:34the ex again?
30:35No.
30:36Would you ever have a conversation with him?
30:38No.
30:39Have you thought about when your kids find out about the sex tape and how you'll approach?
30:44it with them?
30:45That's going to be really just...
30:49painful subject to talk about. Like, I don't even know. Like, I have...
30:54I 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...
31:00Hopefully by talking to them...
31:04they'll never have something like that happen to them or they'll be taken advantage of.
31:09So it's just...
31:11horrible.
31:12And now just being a mom again, just think...
31:14thinking about that just makes me even sadder for me that I had to go through all that.
31:18And so...
31:19publicly and have people vilify me for it when I was just a 19-year-old kid, basically.
31:24Yeah.
31:25The media were just...
31:27brutal for you, the news media...
31:29particularly the expert in the documentary said...
31:31you're targeted because of your intelligence to play the game.
31:34effectively.
31:35We kind of played the game together, similar to Princess Diana. You worked with the press
31:38at times.
31:39welcomed them into your life, posed for the paparazzi. Do you think you paid...
31:44the price for that by welcoming the media?
31:46I didn't think that was fair at all. I was always...
31:49respectful and kind. And I knew that people were just trying to do their job.
31:54So I would... always be nice to everyone. I never... was one of those celebrities.
31:59that would, you know, tell them off or... 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 gonna read some of that.
32:09headlines from the documentary. And just ask you like, 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 twenties. Paris Hilton. What's the point? Famous for nothing. Bimbo summit. No brains.
32:24It was all fame. A new low for celebrity culture. Like you're human just like the rest.
32:29of us. How did that feel at the time? It was really hurtful. You know, I was...
32:34just a young girl just living my life. But I had the whole world watching.
32:39and judging and picking everything apart. And just... I felt...
32:44like no matter what I did or what I accomplished, people... just...
32:49refuse to... I don't know, just see... see me as like a human.
32:54being. It was just like a cartoon character or like a punchline that they just...
32:59make fun of. And it just always hurt my feelings because I've always been such a sensitive.
33:04person as well. And then on top of it, having ADHD...
33:09we experience emotions like 10 times more than...
33:14a neurotypical person. And especially... there's something called RST.
33:19which is rejection sensitive dysphoria, which 99% of people...
33:24with ADHD experience. So... to have things like said like...
33:29that is just... physically pain.
33:34painful. Like it's like being stabbed in the heart. Like it's just... I would...
33:39cry so much all the time. Just like constantly hearing things and people making up...
33:44lies and stories. It was just... a nightmare.
33:47What would you say to the people who wrote the...
33:49headlines now? Say...
33:52Look at me now, honey.
33:54I've always loved proving people wrong. So many... so much in my career.
33:59been underestimated and misunderstood. So now today, just to see...
34:04my life and everything that I've accomplished and... my beautiful family and...
34:09just everything that I've done. And now... I've had so many people come up and...
34:14apologize to me. So many reporters... just... people...
34:19on the street have said that. If I'm doing an interview. Just so many people have said...
34:22I'm so sorry for the way that...
34:24myself and others treated you because you did not deserve that. So it feels...
34:28it's very...
34:29very healing to hear that from people to realize that they know it was wrong.
34:32What advice would you give...
34:34to the... to the young girl who's going through that now?
34:37Hmm...
34:39my advice would be that... you shouldn't listen...
34:44people like that... that... what matters most is what you think of yourself.
34:49So don't let that outside noise affect how you feel about yourself...
34:53because...
34:54a...
34:55a lot of people...
34:56can be mean, especially...
34:58you know, now...
34:59about the internet...
35:00and... you know, people are able to hide behind a computer...
35:03and...
35:04It's a different form of meanness now.
35:06It's different. I feel like the media... it wasn't like that... but then there's like the...
35:09internet trolls who are just like...
35:11these people living in like... their parents' basement and like...
35:14miserable with no life and like...
35:16just sit on the computer all day... just writing rude things.
35:19to people...
35:20like... I just would tell them like...
35:21I would feel bad for this... these people that they...
35:24are that miserable... that they need to go and... and try to... tear you down.
35:29and don't let it affect you.
35:30In the movie... I found it really interesting... you talking about your ADHD...
35:34and thank you... I think... like... I believe... with mental health challenges...
35:37it's so important to talk about them... and normalize...
35:39destigmatize them... and destigmatize them... and make people feel less alone...
35:42and... you've been a leading...
35:44person with ADHD to do that... and... the quote that really hit me...
35:47from the documentary was... I have all the...
35:49successful success... but I wish I could be as happy as someone...
35:52without the ADHD demon...
35:54who had had all these things... still have... would have had all these things... so...
35:59do you still feel like that?
36:01It's... it's gotten... much better...
36:04like... now that I've... really... studied... and researched... and know so...
36:09much about my ADHD... but... growing up... no one was talking about it... especially... with...
36:14young girls... so... I had no idea... like... being in school... and...
36:19constantly... getting in trouble... all the time... like... not able to focus... like... always in detention...
36:24always failing... like... all the tests... because I couldn't remember anything... or... like... losing my home...
36:29just like... so many things would happen... and... you know... people with ADHD... would just be called... like...
36:34bad kids... and I think that's... you know... one of the reasons... I got sent away... to these schools... is because...
36:39of it... because I just... was not able to... focus in school... or anything... no matter... how hard...
36:44I tried... um... and then... now... knowing... that...
36:49that... the voices... from that... that are negative... self-talk... are...
36:54not true... like... that... is always a good thing... so... anytime... I do... have that... happening... I'll just...
36:59immediately say... that's not you... that's just your ADHD...
37:02So... that's how you manage it... that's really... I... really...
37:04love... sharing... solutions... that's how you... I talked to... this... amazing... doctor... named...
37:09Dr. Hallowell... who was like... one of the leading... ADHD... psychiatrists... and...
37:14he has it as well... and he... calls it... the demon... it's called... DMM...
37:19which is like... the... default... mode network... is... what the real... term... port is...
37:24in the documentary... you call it the demon voice... the demon... I found it... fascinating... the idea... that... all of these mean things... are...
37:29being said... about you... in the press... but... it's worse... in your head... that... you were saying...
37:34the worst things... about yourself... yeah... so... that... was just... painful... and I think... through...
37:39doing this documentary... like... I feel like... I never even gave myself... the credit... for... like... how much... I... serve...
37:44survived... even... going... through... that... like... after... everything... I... had... already... went... through... in... these... schools... then... you... know...
37:49coming out... into... Hollywood... and then... having... the... media... say... all... these... crazy... things... like... it... was... just...
37:54it... it was... it was... so... traumatizing... back then... so...
37:59like... grateful... now... to... have... healed... from... that...
38:04and... now... I'm... able... to... tell... my... story... to... others... because... I... know... there's... so... many... other... you... know... kids...
38:09who... who... have... ADHD... who... I'm... sure... are... going through... the... same... thing... right... now... and...
38:14just... just... to... tell... them... and... let... them... know... that... this... is... something... that... we... all... experience... and...
38:19that... those... things... are... not... true... and... to... be... strong... and... to... lean... on... in... on... it...
38:24is... your... superpower... because... I... wouldn't... be... the...
38:29entrepreneur... I... I... wouldn't... be... the... creative... I... am... I... wouldn't... have... these... so... many... different... businesses... without...
38:34without... the... ADHD... so... I... want... to... inspire... others... that... this... can... be...
38:39a... superpower... and... you... can... just... lean... in... to... what... you... love... they... say... that... we... can't... focus...
38:44but... that's... not... true... we... can... hyper... focus... like... no... other... we... just...
38:49can't... focus... on... things... that... are... boring... but... the... things... that... light... us... up... we... will... focus...
38:54like... a... superhero... that's... really... interesting... it's... just... that... all... of... our... brains... have... worked... differently... and... so...
38:59the... the... fact... you're... talking... about... and... normalizing... this... and... showing... it's... actually... a... positive... not... a... negative...
39:04is... is... is... is... a... great... example... for society... so... thank... you... I've... had... so... many...
39:09families... kids... people... come up to me... and... say... thank... you... so... much... for... writing... your... song... ADHD...
39:14like... my... child... used to be... so... ashamed... of it... but... now... that's... their... anthem... and...
39:19they're... singing... it... every... morning... and... telling... everyone... ADHD... is... my... superpower... so... I... love... how...
39:24I'm... able... to... reframe... it... especially... for... these... young... kids... growing... up... with... it... because... I... know... that... a... lot... of... them... are... struggling...
39:29and... and... back in the... noughties... you... you... you... felt... you... couldn't... admit... to... having... any... any...
39:34weaknesses... and... now... it's... different... opening up... with... your... vulnerabilities... is... your... superpower...
39:39yes... for... sure... growing... up... in... the... 2000s... like... no... one... was... even... saying... the... word... mental...
39:44mental health... like... if you... heard... that... they'd be... like... what... like... mental... hospital... like... they... wouldn't... understand... that...
39:49I'm... I'm... I'm... I'm... a... big... believer... and... I've... done... a... lot... of... work... in... the... mental... space... that... like... everybody... has... got...
39:54somebody... in... the... family... who's... going... through... something... scratched... beneath... the... surface... I've... got... people... with... PTSD...
39:59ADHD... um... to... clinical... depression... and... it... and... it... no... people... don't...
40:04talk... about... it... and... we should... encourage... it... make... people... feel... less... alone... so... thank... you... for... all... of... your... work...
40:09thank... you... I think... it's... amazing... seeing... this... new... generation... and... how... open... they... are... just... how...
40:14you... how... you... know... we... were... all... taught... like... if... anything's... wrong... don't... talk... about... it... just... like... everything...
40:19everything... is... fine... but... when... you... do... talk... about... things... it... just... shows... like... the... power... of... vulnerability...
40:24and... telling... your... truth... and... just... like... letting... it... out... and... it... just... like... helps... you... so... much... and...
40:29then... it... makes... others... feel... safe... to... open... up... as... well... and... then... it... starts... like... this... whole... domino...
40:34where... so... many... people... could... heal... around... the... world... so... you... are... just... like... us... the... relatable... thing...
40:39so... what... matter... so... all... of... my... gay... friends... are... totally... jealous... I'm... here... with... you...
40:44the... house... and... until... I... saw... this... documentary... I... didn't... really... realise...
40:49why... you... were... gay... icon... and... I... had... tears... streaming... down... my... face... when... you... said...
40:54they... are... the... ones... who... gave... me... the... greatest... gift... showing... me... what... truly... means...
40:59to... live... my... true... for... so... long... I... was... weighed... down... by... the... shame... over... what... I... went... through... in... the... troubled... teen...
41:04history... I've... never... heard... a... straight... person... understand... the... shame... that... gay... people...
41:09go... through... living... in... a... world... feeling... othered... and... not... feeling... welcomed... and...
41:14the... fact... that... you... could... empathise... with... that... with... what... you... gone... through... I... found... that... really... powerful...
41:19so... thank... you... when... when... when... did... you realise... your... similarities... with... the... gay... community...
41:24just... especially... getting... out... of... those schools... and then...
41:29David... David LaChapelle... and I... were... very... close... friends... forever... and... I... was... one... of... his muses... and... he... would...
41:34take... me... to... all... the... gay... clubs... so... I... was... hanging out... like... him... and... Amanda... Lepore... and... like... Patricia... Fields...
41:39and... like... that... whole... club... scene... and... just... feeling... so... like... much...
41:44love... so... accepted... just... seeing... these... people... who... just... like... live... their... life... out...
41:49just... beautiful... inside... and... out... and... just...
41:54I... learned... so... much... from... that... just... an... incredible... community... in... so... many... ways... Pride...
41:59my favorite... time... of the... year... it's... so... much... fun... just... being... on... stage... performing...
42:04going... going... to... all... the... gay... clubs... and... feeling... the... energy... the... love... in... the... room... it's... like...
42:09nothing... I can... even... describe... it's... just... so... much... fun...
42:12Well... thank... thank... thank...
42:14thank... you... for... your... support... the... the... the... way... you... vocalized... that... connection... to... the... community... was... so... breathtaking...
42:19like... how... have... you... dealt... with... that... shame... that... you... talked... about... I've... just... felt...
42:24that... a lot... of... the... things... that... have... happened... in... my... life... are... because... other... people... hurt... me...
42:29and... something... another... message... in... this... film... that... I wanna... have... others...
42:34know... is... that... the... shame... should... not... be... on... us... it... should... be... on... the... people... who... hurt... us...
42:39and... I... was... actually... speaking... with... one... of... the... survivors... who...
42:44went... went... to Provo Canyon School... with... me... and... she... said... that... to... me... um... when... we... were... doing...
42:49my first... documentary... and... that's... something... that... stuck... with... me... ever... since... and... it's... so... true... I... feel... like... so...
42:54many... the... times... so... many... of... us... have... held... onto... shame... which... never... should... have... been... on... us...
42:59it... should... have... always... been... on... that... person... who... hurt... us... so... I... think... that's... such... a... powerful... message... for... people...
43:04to... know... in... their... hearts... because... I... feel... like... that... would... take... away... a... lot... of... pain...
43:09from... people... if... they knew... that...
43:11Motherhood... they say... becoming... a... parent... will... humble...
43:14you... and... make... you... just... like... us... what's... one... way... your... kids... have... humbled... you... recently...
43:19they... they... are... just... my... everything... my... world...
43:24and... every... day... with... them... just... feels... like... a... dream... come... true... I've... always...
43:29wanted... wanted... to be... a... mom... and... now... to... have... these... two... little... angels... who... are... just...
43:34the... cutest... little... fun... like... sweet... smart...
43:39um... they're... just... everything... to me... I'm... so... so... lucky... that... I'm... their... mom...
43:44when was your... like... latest... breakdown... in tears... mummy... meltdown... moment...

45:51How is Cathy as a grandma?
45:53How is grandma Cathy?
45:54Is she hands on or does she spoil them rotten?
45:56Don't call her grandma.
45:59She's called Kiki and she is the cutest and the best.
46:04And the kids love when she comes over.
46:07They love going to her house.
46:09She has like a whole like children's nursery playroom at the house that has.
46:14All the coolest toys and everything so they're always going over there and playing with her.
46:19And she's very childlike in so many ways as well so she's just so sweet with them.
46:24And she's obsessed, especially with London.
46:27She's like London is like my.
46:29She's a twin because if you look at their baby photos they look so similar.
46:32Oh really?
46:33That's so cute.

47:04We talked about this earlier about how trolls and social media are difficult and there's
47:08so much mum shape.
47:09shaming on social like critiquing like a baby's physicality so appalling.

47:19I'm a mama bear so I get very protective and you know.
47:24sometimes there is you know people online who want to be mean and negative and.
47:29I just think it's so wrong to talk about a baby in a bad way or.
47:34just like a cruel way so I am always very protective of it.
47:39but there's been so many moms and others who have been so supportive and so.
47:44amazing and.
47:45I love being able to share my life with them and.
47:49it's always nice to hear from the other moms.
