Paris Hilton has disclosed that during her adolescent years, she was subjected to torture and force-feeding by staff workers.
She gave testimony before a congressional panel that is investigating ways to improve protections for children in need.
The 43-year-old revealed that during her institutionalisation, she had been the victim of “parent-approved kidnapping.”
She signed with Donald Trump’s modelling agency at 19 and worked with Christian Dior, Tommy Hilfiger, and GUESS.
She also spoke about the assault she experienced as a 15- and 16-year-old to reform child welfare policies in the US.
“When I was 16, I was dragged out of bed in the middle of the night and moved across state lines to one of the residences,” she confessed.
She continued, though, saying that she had been sexually abused after being made to take medicine against her will.
She added: “I was dragged through the corridors, stripped naked and locked in solitary confinement”.
She told the House of Representatives this tale and questioned, “So, can you imagine the treatment that the state can provide by not having people who are regularly inspecting it?”
The American socialite further commented on what she thinks about the workers at these types of centres, “They care more about profits than the safety of the children.”
Lastly, she mentioned that she witnessed the death of a minor in a centre when she was 16 years old for “innocently throwing a sandwich in the cafeteria.”
