‘I put it all in there’: Paris Hilton opens up about ‘traumatic’ teenage experiences in explosive memoir
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: While appearing on ‘Good Morning America’ on Tuesday, Paris Hilton, the TV star and author of the tell-all new book ‘Paris: The Memoir,’ looked stunning in a flowing blue floral dress with a ruffled skirt and high neck. She completed her outfit with white pointy toe heels with an ankle strap, simple hoop earrings, white sunglasses and a white Chanel handbag.
Carrying a copy of her memoir, Hilton said: “This book is like a diary, where I put everything in it, including so many traumatic experiences I endured, especially as a teenager, and memories that I didn’t want to remember. But there are also a lot of good and exciting times. I’ve lived such an amazing life.” Hilton also shared her joy at being a new mom and her mother Kathy Hilton’s obsession with her son. “My little Phoenix is my angel,” she continued. “I’m so obsessed with him. He’s everything to me. My heart is so full.”

“Cathartic and Therapeutic”
During the interview with hosts Michael Strahan, Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, Hilton opened up about her memoir and her mother’s reaction. “She’s so proud of me for being brave and telling my story,” Hilton shared, adding that her mother was unaware of some of the struggles she faced as a teenager. The hosts then asked Hilton about being one of the original influencers alongside Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, and what advice she would give her younger self.
“I would tell her that even though you face challenges in life, your voice will one day be used to help others and make a meaningful impact,” Hilton replied. “So in the end, everything will be worth it.” When asked how the writing process had helped her, Hilton said, “It was incredibly cathartic and therapeutic to release so much of what I’ve been carrying for so long. I’ve been through a lot of tough times, but putting everything out there was great.”
