Paris Hilton has revealed her first sexual experience was nonconsensual, when she was raped by an older man at the age of 15.
The heiress, 42, has spoken candidly of the abuse she suffered while attending a boarding school for troubled teens in the 1990s.
And speaking to Glamour UK, she has now spoken about another horrific encounter she was subjected to after consuming a spiked drink.
At the time, Paris was living with her grandmother in Palm Springs and would often visit the Westfield Century City shopping centre in Los Angeles with her friends.
She said older men would often hang around the stores and speak to them and one day they invited Paris and her friends back ‘to their house’.

Paris said she was offered ‘berry wine coolers’ to drink and one of the men was particularly forceful about getting her to drink it.
She said: ‘When I had maybe one or two sips, I just immediately started feeling dizzy and woozy. ‘I don’t know what he put in there; I’m assuming it was a roofie [Rohypnol].’
Paris, who recently welcomed her first child with husband Carter Reum, said she woke up several hours later knowing something bad happend.
She said: ‘I remembered it. I have visions of him on top of me, covering my mouth, being like, “You’re dreaming, you’re dreaming,” and whispering that in my ear.’
Paris added the experience made her feel ashamed and she went to boarding school in Utah for two years soon after.
The reality star claimed she was sexually abused after being forced to undergo cervical exams performed by staff members in the early hours of the morning while attending the school.
Paris previously said her childhood was ‘stolen’ by the alleged abuse at Provo Canyon School where she spent 11 months when she was 17 years old.
Testifying to Utah lawmakers in February 2021, the hotel heiress said she was ‘verbally, mentally and physically abused on a daily basis’ at Provo Canyon.

‘I was cut off from the outside world and stripped of all of my human rights. I was not allowed to be myself, hold my own opinions or even speak. Without a diagnosis I was forced to consume medication that made me feel numb and exhausted. I didn’t breathe fresh air or see the sunlight for 11 months,’ she said.
‘Children were restrained, hit, thrown into walls, strangled and sexually abused regularly at Provo… I could not report this because all communication with my family was monitored and censored.
‘That was the worst of the worst… There’s no getting out of there. You’re sitting on a chair and staring at a wall all day long, getting yelled at or getting hit.’
The socialite slammed the institution in her 2020 documentary This Is Paris and succeeded in pushing for new, tighter regulation on schools for troubled teens.
Paris also revealed she and Carter had named their son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum after sharing that they became parents last month.
The star already has ‘seven’ more embryos in the hope of having more children, adding that the embryos are ‘all boys’.

Paris added that she decided to use a surrogate as she has always been ‘scared’ of childbirth.
She also confessed that she had previously had her eggs frozen on the advice of her pal Kim Kardashian, and had been planning to have a child on her own before she and Carter met.
