Paris Hilton's Admittance Regarding an Abortion in Her Early Twenties and Her Struggle to Overcome Embarrassment
In an exclusive interview with Glamour magazine's February issue, Paris Hilton shared her personal experiences with abortion, sexual harassment, and her journey towards motherhood.
Hilton, who recently gave birth to a son named Phoenix Hilton Reum with her husband, venture capitalist Carter Reum, revealed that she had an abortion at the age of 22 with her then-boyfriend, a model named Jason Shaw. This revelation came after the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2022 decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, a landmark case that guaranteed a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.
The decision to speak out about her abortion experience was Hilton's way of contributing to the ongoing conversation about abortion rights, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Although she did not provide direct quotations about her opinion on the ruling itself, her decision to come forward suggests that she is impacted by and concerned about the debates surrounding abortion rights.
During her teenage years, Hilton also experienced sexual harassment at Provo Canyon, Utah, her former school. This traumatic experience has left a lasting impact on her, and she expressed her disapproval of the politics around abortion, stating that it is a woman's body and should not be subject to laws.
Hilton's fear of pregnancy and childbirth stems from her experiences at Provo Canyon and from witnessing childbirth during the filming of "The Simple Life." To ensure a safe and comfortable experience, she decided to have her son via surrogacy.
Looking ahead, Hilton plans to share more details about her life experiences in her forthcoming memoir, which is expected to be released later in March. The memoir will undoubtedly provide a deeper insight into the life of this iconic celebrity, who is currently 42 years old.
