Paris Hilton is a global icon, entrepreneur, and one of the most recognisable women in the world. But behind the fame and success is a story of childhood trauma, undiagnosed ADHD, and a lifelong struggle to feel understood. In this deeply personal conversation, Paris opens up about her traumatic experiences at Provo Canyon School, the loneliness behind her public persona, masking her true self, and the emotional pain of rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD). We also explore how ADHD affects her everyday life, what she hopes to teach her children about being different, and the emotional message she would give her younger self.
