Paris Hilton reveals reason behind her 'Barbie persona' as she details traumatic school years where she was 'mentally and sexually abused'


Paris Hilton has revealed the real reason behind her 'Barbie doll' persona in a candid new interview on Wednesday.

The model had been 'doing a little girls, sister holiday shopping' in Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City on Wednesday when she learned that her bill had been passed by the Senate, she told ABC News. Paris testified on Capitol Hill last year about the devastating experience she suffered at Provo Canyon School in Utah in the 1990s as she advocated for sweeping reforms to the foster and youth rehab system. 'When I was 16 years old, I was ripped from my bed in the middle of night and transported across state lines to the first of four residential facilities,' Hilton told the House Ways and Means Committee in June.
