What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News
and in a new interview, Paris Hilton talked
about her upcoming documentary where she opens
up for the first time about her "traumatic"
childhood experiences.
Alright, so Paris Hilton is dropping a new
documentary called “This Is Paris” in
September.
And in the doc Paris will be opening up about
her past and sharing parts of her life she’s
never shared with fans before.
“No one really knows who I am.
Something happened in my childhood that I’ve
never talked about with anyone.
I still have nightmares about it.”
And earlier this week, Paris sat down for
an interview about her upcoming doc with Nikki
Glaser, who was filling in as a guest host
for Jimmy Kimmel.
Paris revealed how she's feeling about it
coming out so soon.
“I'm excited, but I'm also very nervous,
you know, given the topics discussed in this
film because it's things I've never talked
about before — really personal and traumatic
experiences.
So, to talk about that publicly is obviously
very hard.”
And earlier this year, Paris also talked about
why she decided to make this doc while stopping
by the show, The Talk.
“I started thinking about my past and what
I’ve been through and realized just how
much it’s affected my life and how I was
holding on to so much trauma for so long.”
And while Paris herself hasn’t gone into
detail about what particular experiences she
is talking about in the interview, People
Magazine obtained a preview of the project
and hinted at what Paris might be referring
to.
They reported that the doc shows Paris preparing
to discuss the mental abuse she faced as a
teenager at a Utah boarding school.
The official description for the film also
says that “Much more than a global brand
or a reality star, Paris is anxious, at times
lonely, and tough as nails.
Surviving childhood abuse, violent relationships,
and extraordinary exposure in the media, Paris
projects a character of herself to the world
to protect what is left of her youthful innocence.”
During the interview with Nikki, Paris also
talked about the filming process and how she
was able to show a different side of herself.
Paris started off by saying quote, “Obviously,
I'm used to being on camera from being on
camera for so long.
But I've always been a very naturally shy
person.”
And Paris talked about how different this
experience was compared to her other on camera
projects like her reality show The Simple
Life.
“To actually be myself was a completely
different experience, but also almost therapeutic
in some way where I learned so much about
myself that I had no idea of why I am the
way I am and now I understand myself so much
more.”
Paris is looking forward to her fans seeing
this new side of her too saying quote, “I
think when people see this film, they're really
going to see a different side to me than they've
ever seen before.
Because I honestly didn't even know who I
was up until this year.
So, I really learned a lot about myself through
this film."
“With this I really just wanted to pull
the curtain back and show my real life and
talk about things that were very hard to talk
about.”
The film was originally set to premiere at
the Tribeca Film Festival in April, but like
every other event, these plans changed after
the festival was postponed due to COVID.
Instead, “This Is Paris” will premiere
right here on YouTube on September 14th.
“I think your fans and a broader audience
will really find it compelling.
Thank you.
I mean it.
I am excited to be a part of the YouTube family,
it’s an honor.”
Fans are really looking forward to seeing
this side of Paris in this new candid doc.
One person wrote quote, “so proud of you
paris, can't wait”
Another fan added “I’ve loved Paris ever
since the Simple Life days.
I can’t wait to see the documentary.”
This person chimed in saying “It must be
hard to feel like everything you've worked
so hard for over the last 20 years is masked
by a character/version of yourself you created
at 18 years old.
I really hope the documentary allows for people
to see the real and humble side of her, much
respect!!!”
And we certainly can’t wait to watch!
Most importantly though, we’re just glad
Paris seems to be in a much better place than
she was before and has learned a lot about
herself through the process of making this
doc, we will definitely be tuning in on YouTube!
