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
01:30and functioné…¸ welfare and for the neurodivergent and the LGBTQ communities and he's
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...
10:20been the hardest...
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...
11:10you know...
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...

13:18because that's...
13:19none of the parents...
13:20knew that this was happening...
13:21and...

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...
21:13if people know me...
21:14they understand...
21:15but then...
21:16if there's like an outsider...
21:17who just...
21:18you know...
21:19see...
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
31:00um
31:02um
31:03we don't see the difference
31:04right now
31:05um
31:06but
31:07um
31:08uh
31:09we don't know
31:11um
31:12um
31:13um
31:14um
31:15um
31:16um
31:18um
31:19um
31:24um
31:25were just brutal for you, the news media, particularly the experts.
31:30And the documentary said, you're targeted because of your intelligence to play the game effectively.
31:35We kind of played the game together, similar to Princess Diana.
31:37You worked with the press at times, welcomed them into your life.
31:40I posed for the paparazzi.
31:42Do you think you paid the price for that?
31:45I woke him in the media.
31:46I didn't think that was fair at all.
31:48I was always respectful.
31:50And I knew that people were just trying to do their job.
31:54So I would.
31:55I would always be nice to everyone.
31:57I never was one of those celebrities that would, you know, tell.
32:00them off or go off on them like I've seen some people do.
32:03So I.
32:05I just thought it was really unfair the way that they did that.
32:08I'm going to read some of the headlines from the.
32:10documentary and just ask you like, how did they make you feel back then?
32:15I mean, like the idea that this was a description of a young woman in early 20s.
32:20Paris Hilton, what's the point?
32:21Famous for nothing, bimbo summit, no brains, all fame.
32:25A new low for celebrity culture, like you're human, just like the rest of us.
32:29How did.
32:30How did you feel that feel at the time?
32:31It was really hurtful.
32:33You know, I was just a young girl.
32:35Just living my life, but I had the whole world watching and.
32:40fudging and picking everything apart and just.
32:43I felt like no matter.
32:45what I did or what I accomplished, people just refused to.
32:50I don't know, just see, see me as like a human being that was just.
32:55like a cartoon character or like a punchline that they just make fun of.
33:00And it just always hurt my feelings because I've always been such a sensitive person as well.
33:05And then on top of it, when having ADHD, we experienced.
33:10emotions like 10 times more than a neurotypical person.
33:15and especially there's something called RSD, which is.
33:20rejection sensitive dysphoria, which 99% of people with ADHD experience.
33:25So to have things like said like that.
33:30is just physically painful, like it's.
33:35like being stabbed in the heart, like it's just, I would cry so much.
33:40all the time, just like constantly hearing things and people making up lies and stories.
33:45it was just a nightmare.
33:47What would you say to the people who wrote those headlines now?
33:50say, look at me now, honey.
33:53say, look at me now, honey.
33:55I've always loved proving people wrong.
33:57So much of my career, I've been underestimated.
34:00misunderstood.
34:01So now today, just to see my life and everything.
34:05everything that I've accomplished and my beautiful family and just everything.
34:10everything that I've done and now I've had so many people come up and apologize to me.
34:15so many reporters, just people on the street have said that.
34:20if I'm doing an interview, just so many people have said, I'm so sorry for the way that myself and others.
34:25treated you because you did not deserve that.
34:27so it feels, it's very healing to hear that.
34:30from people to realize that they know it was wrong.
34:32What advice would you give to the people?
34:35to the young girl who's going through that now?
34:39my
34:40advice would be that you shouldn't listen to people like this.
34:45that, that what matters most is what you think of yourself.
34:49so don't let that.
34:50that outside noise affect how you feel about yourself.
34:53because of it.
34:55a lot of people can be mean especially, you know, now with the internet and
35:00you know, people are able to hide behind a computer.
35:03and
35:04it's a difference.
35:05it's a difference.
35:05I feel like the media, it wasn't like that, but then there's like the internet trolls.
35:10so we're just like these people living in like their parents' basement, like miserable with no life.
35:15and like just sit on the computer all day, just writing rude things to people.
35:20like I just would tell them like I would feel bad for this, these people that they are that.
35:25miserable that they need to go and try to tear you down and don't let it affect you.
35:30in the movie, I found it really interesting you talking about your ADHD and thank you, I think.
35:35like I believe with mental health challenges, it's so important to talk about them and normalize them.
35:40you stigmatize them and make people feel less alone and you've been a leading person with ADHD.
35:45to do that and the quote that really hit me from the documentary was I have all the success by.
35:50I wish I could be as happy as someone without the ADHD demon voice who.
35:55would have had all these things still have, would have had all these things.
35:58so do you still feel.
36:00like that?
36:01it's, it's gotten much better like now that I.
36:05I've really studied and researched and know so much about my ADHD.
36:10but growing up, no one was talking about it, especially with young girls.
36:15so I had no idea like being in school and constantly getting.
36:20being in trouble all the time, like not able to focus, like always in detention, always failing.
36:25like all the tests because I couldn't remember anything or like losing my homework, just like so many things.
36:30would happen and, you know, people with ADHD would just be called like bad kids.
36:35and I think that's, you know, one of the reasons I got sent away to these schools is because of it because I just wasn't.
36:40not able to focus in school or anything no matter how hard I tried.
36:45and then now knowing that the.
36:50voices from that that are negative self-talk are not true.
36:55like that is always a good thing.
36:57so anytime I do have that happening, I'll just immediately say that's not.
37:00that's not you.
37:01that's just your ADHD.
37:02so that's how you manage it.
37:03that's really, I really love sharing the solution.
37:05that's how you.
37:06I talked to this amazing doctor named Dr. Hallowell.
37:10who is like one of the leading ADHD psychiatrists and he has it as well.
37:15and he calls it the demon.
37:17it's called DMN.
37:19which is.
37:20it's like the default mode network is what the real.
37:23term for it is.
37:24in the documentary.
37:25the demon voice.
37:26the demon.
37:27I found it fascinating.
37:28the idea that all of these mean things are being said about.
37:30you in the press.
37:31but it's worse in your head.
37:33that you were saying worse things about yourself.
37:35yeah.
37:36so that was just painful and I think through doing this document.
37:40I feel like I never even gave myself the credit for like how much I survived even going through.
37:45that like after everything I'd already went through in these schools then.
37:48you know coming out into.
37:50and then having.
37:51the media say all these crazy things like it was just.
37:55it was a.
37:56it was a.
37:57it was a.
37:58so traumatizing back then.
37:59so I'm so.
38:00like grateful now to have healed from that and now I'm able to.
38:05tell my story to others because I know there's so many.
38:07other.
38:08you know kids.
38:09who have.
38:10who I'm sure are going through the same thing right now.
38:13and.
38:14just to.
38:15tell them and let them know that.
38:16this is something that we all experience and that those things are not true.
38:20and.
38:21to be strong.
38:22and to lean on in on it as your superpower.
38:24because.
38:25because I wouldn't be the woman I am today without it as well.
38:28I wouldn't be the entrepreneur I am.
38:30I wouldn't be the creative I am.
38:31I wouldn't have these so many different businesses without the ADHD.
38:35so I want.
38:36to inspire others that this can be a superpower.
38:40and you can just lean in to what you love.
38:42they say that we can't focus.
38:44but.
38:45that's not true.
38:46we can hyper focus like no other.
38:48we just can't focus on things.
38:50that are boring.
38:51but the things that light us up.
38:53we will focus.
38:54like a superhero.
38:55that's really interesting.
38:56it's just that all of our brains have worked differently.
38:58and so it.
38:59the fact you're.
39:00talking about it.
39:01and normalizing this.
39:02and showing it's actually a positive.
39:03not a negative.
39:04is a great.
39:05example for society.
39:06so thank you.
39:07i've had so many.
39:08families.
39:09kids.
39:10people come up to me.
39:11and say thank you so much.
39:12for writing your song.
39:13ADHD.
39:14like.
39:15my child used to be so ashamed of it.
39:17but now.
39:18that's their anthem.
39:19and they're singing it every morning.
39:20and telling everyone.
39:21ADHD is my superpower.
39:22so i love.
39:23how i'm able to.
39:24re.
39:25reframe it.
39:26especially for these young kids.
39:27growing up with it.
39:28because i know.
39:29that a lot of them are struggling.
39:30and back in the.
39:30difficulties.
39:31you felt you couldn't.
39:32admit.
39:33to having any.
39:34any weaknesses.
39:35and.
39:35and now.
39:36it's different.
39:37opening up with your vulnerabilities.
39:38is your superpower.
39:39yes.
39:40for sure.
39:40and growing up.
39:41in the 2000s.
39:42like no one.
39:43was even saying the word.
39:44mental health.
39:45like if you heard.
39:45that.
39:46they'd be like.
39:47what?
39:48like mental hospital.
39:49like they wouldn't.
39:50understand that.
39:51i'm a big.

39:59adhd.
40:00the.
40:01the clinical depression.
40:02and it.
40:03and it.
40:04people don't talk about it.
40:05and we shouldn't.
40:05encourage it.
40:06make people feel.
40:07less alone.
40:08so thank you.
40:09for all of your work.

40:17if anything's wrong.
40:18don't talk about it.
40:19just like.
40:20everything's fine.
40:20but when you do.
40:21talk about things.
40:22it just shows like.
40:23the power of vulnerability.
40:24and telling your.
40:25truth.
40:26and just like.
40:27letting it out.
40:28and it just like.
40:29helps you so much.
40:30and then it makes others.

42:35is that.
42:35that.
42:36the shame.
42:37should not be on us.
42:38it should be on the people.
42:39who hurt us.
42:40and.
42:41i was actually speaking.
42:42with one of the.
42:43survivors.
42:44who.
42:45went to.
42:45trogo canyon school.
42:46with me.
42:47and she said that.
42:48to me.
42:49when we were doing.
42:50my first documentary.
42:51and that.
42:50that's something.
42:51that stuck with me.
42:52ever since.

42:54i feel like.
42:55so many of the times.

43:07that would.
43:08take away.
43:09a lot of pain.
43:10from people.
43:11if they knew.
43:10that.
43:11motherhood.
43:12they say.
43:13becoming a parent.

50:11you.
50:12you.
50:13you.
50:14no.
50:15you.
50:16how does he really feel?
50:17you.
50:18about your obsession with pink and your interior design,
50:20like the pink tennis court and everything.
50:23He loves it.
50:23He loves anything that will make me happy.
50:26It's like really incredible.
50:28That is an amazing moment.
50:29Because the next question was how and when did you know?
50:33Carter was right for you, but like...
50:35I just knew right away.
50:37There was just something...
50:38special about him.
50:39I could just tell, like, just right when he looked at me and smiled.
50:43I could just look in someone's eyes and see whether, like, they're a good person.
50:48Or not.
50:49And he has such incredible family values.
50:51He's so...
50:53kind and patient and loyal and sweet and funny and loving and...
50:58lifts me up in a way that no one ever has before.
51:01And...
51:02He seems to love you.
51:03Yeah.
51:04I just feel, like, so safe with him where I feel like anything is possible.
51:08And that's an amazing feeling because it's been so hard to trust people.
51:13with everything that's happened in my life.
51:15And, you know, I met him at a time where I...
51:18I just...
51:19It's like, I'm not even gonna get married.
51:20I'm not gonna be with anyone.
51:21Like, I don't need a man.
51:22Like, I don't need a man.
51:23And that's what I was thinking.
51:24And then met him.
51:25So they always say, like, love will find...
51:28you when you're not looking for it.
51:29And I never believed that either.
51:31But...
51:32I guess it's true.
51:33Because it worked with me.
51:34And so you've done so, so much.
51:38What unfinished business have you got?
51:40What have you still got to prove?
51:41What's next?
51:43I feel like I've accomplished, like, everything that I would want to in life.
51:48But I'm just gonna continue on with everything I'm doing with 1111 Media.
51:53And just all of the different projects I have with that.
51:56And I'm very excited.
51:58I'm very excited for Para-V, my skincare line that I developed for the past...
52:03three years.
52:04And building new products with that as well.
52:06And continuing...
52:08And continuing on with the music, and all my advocacy work, and continuing to build...
52:13I.P.
52:14And then getting involved more in real estate with my own hotel.
52:18And, yeah, just continuing.
52:19Paris Hilton Hotels.
52:20Rivaling who?
52:21Paris Hilton Hotels.
52:22Rivaling who?
52:23Paris Hilton Hotels.
52:24The skincare line, you are aging backwards if you look.
52:28Paris Hilton Hotels.
52:29It's amazing.
52:30Like, I have a LED mask, like, just like us.
52:33But you have a whole machine, I read.
52:35Yeah, the spa.
52:36The living spa.
52:37What?
52:38The living spa.
52:38What works the best for readers, for anti-aging?
52:41How can we look as amazing as you?
52:43What works the best is PeraVe, my skincare line, of course.
52:46And then the LED mask.
52:48The red light is incredible.
52:49Cryotherapy.
52:50Hyperbaric.
52:53The electric chamber is the number one thing for longevity, which I'm obsessed with.
52:58I.P.
52:58I just invested into Brian Johnson's company as well, Blueprint, which shows.
53:03I'm obsessed with.
53:04So I think, yeah, it's important to do all of those things.
53:08Try to stay out of the sun, but yeah, that red light really does work.
53:13I have, like, a whole red light bed, which I'm obsessed with.
53:16And I'm building.
53:18An entire spa downstairs would be, like, an 8,000 square foot longevity center.
53:23And spa.
53:24So we go from an 8,000 longevity spa to testing.
53:28How just like us, because that's not quite just like us, but now it's time to.
53:33To find out how just like us, Paris Hilton really is.
53:36It's a quick fire round.
53:37Yeah.
53:38Questions will come fast.
53:39The answers should come faster.
53:40And there's no hiding from your humanity.
53:43Are you ready to prove you're just like us?
53:45Yes.
53:46Stars are blind is one of my top five.
53:48Karaoke songs, but it's really hard to sing.
53:51Are you just like us?
53:52And have you ever sung?
53:53Karaoke.
53:54Yeah.
53:55I love karaoke.
53:56What are your songs?
53:57Do you sing?
53:58Stars are Blind.
53:59Yes, of course.
54:00Stars are Blind.
54:01And I love Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carr.
54:03One of my favorites as well.
54:05So iconic.
54:06Classic.
54:07How much help do you.
54:08Have around the house?
54:09Yeah, we have like.
54:10The nannies.
54:11The people who have.
54:12Tag.
54:13Take care of the house.
54:14And the handyman.
54:16And yeah.
54:18All of them.
54:19And I love them so much.
54:20They're like part of the family.
54:21What's the most surprisingly normal thing?
54:23You do every day that no one would ever expect from Paris Hilton.
54:26The most normal thing.
54:28Just being with my kids in the morning.
54:32Eating cigarettes.
54:33I love cereal.
54:34Watching cartoons.
54:35I like Frosted Flakes.
54:36I love cooking.
54:38I love making French toast with Frosted Flakes cooked onto it.
54:42It's so good.
54:43That's a good American breakfast.
54:45She is just like us.
54:46How much do you spend on glam a year?
54:48In a year would you estimate?
54:49I don't know.
54:50I've never.
54:51Looked into that.
54:52But I'm sure a lot.
54:53What's one household chore you secretly love doing yourself?
54:58I don't know.
54:59You don't do any?
55:00I don't know.
55:01You don't do any?
55:02Um.
55:03I don't know.
55:04Organizing.
55:05I like organizing as well.
55:06I like organizing.
55:07I like organizing.
55:08I like tidying.
55:09I hate cleaning.
55:10When was the last time you pumped gas?
55:12I used to-
55:13I used to pump gas when I used to drive everywhere.
55:15But I honestly never leave the house now.
55:17Like unless I have-
55:18I have to.
55:19And then I have a driver.
55:20And then I'm always just going directly from-
55:23here to the airport and flying somewhere.
55:25So I have not done gas in a long time.
55:28But if I was driving, I would do it.
55:29I don't mind.
55:30You would.
55:31You don't mind.
55:32Okay.
55:33You are just like a sort of thing.
55:33Thank you for sharing your incredible journey and the wisdom that you've imparted and how
55:37you've helped people.
55:38along the way.
55:39And I do think how vulnerable you are, it shows that you really-
55:43are just like us.
55:44So thank you Paris.
55:46This was so much fun.
