Paris Hilton reveals she got pregnant by model Jason Shaw before having an abortion at age 22

Paris Hilton has confirmed she got pregnant by model and former fiancée Jason Shaw before having an abortion in 2003 at the age of 22.

The reality star, now 42, who previously revealed she aborted her pregnancy because she “wasn’t ready for a baby,” said in an excerpt from her book, Paris, that sexual abuse in boarding schools meant she wasn’t “able to to be whole’. : The Memoirs.

Hilton first met Tommy Hilfiger model Shaw, now 49, outside the Four Seasons in LA in 2001 and the pair got engaged the following year. Their romance ended in 2003.

In an extract from her memoirs per Time magazine, she wrote of discovering she was pregnant in November 2003: “I was terrified and sad. The hormones caused a spiral of my ADHD symptoms. Everything I knew about myself contradicted everything I was raised to believe about abortion.

“I knew I wasn’t in the right place to make a commitment. It had nothing to do with him or a baby. I just wasn’t able to be honest, loyal, or have integrity.

“After being abused at Provo Canyon School and three other programs within the “troubled teens” industry network, I was damaged in ways I couldn’t tell him, and the fact that I never confided in him about my past — that says it all, doesn’t it? Secrets are corrosive. They destroy anything you try to put over them.

Paris said she constantly looked back on her termination with sadness and “tortured myself with melodrama — thoughts like, What if I killed my Paris?” — but realizes motherhood in the 202 would have been a “train wreck.”

The star also opened up about “mastering her reproductive destiny” and undergoing IVF with husband Carter Reum, which involved “month after month of injections, different egg-harvest procedures, more IVF injections, new ADHD meds, my natural state of chaos. -it was a lot.’

The couple are now parents to son Phoenix, who was born via surrogate in January.

The heiress to the £11.6 billion Hilton hotels empire has detailed in her memoir how she was sexually assaulted when her parents sent her to boarding schools for troubled youths in an attempt to tame her rebellious behaviour.

At one of the schools, Provo Canyon School in Utah, Paris said she was sometimes drugged before being harassed.

“I swallowed the pills and stared at the wall with the immaculate mask of a catwalk model,” she writes in an excerpt published yesterday in The Times.

“Whatever they gave me made me feel like my head was disconnected from my body.

“That startled me, so I put the capsules in my bottom lip and waited for an opportunity to spit them out.

“The Provo employees had their favourites. Always beautiful girls. But I don’t think it was about pretty.

“I think these were weak people on the outside, men and women who ran off with the power they had over us.

“They took us to the infirmary and left us on the table. Made us open our legs for their stubby fingers. If we resisted, there was always a tray of syringes.

“I don’t know what was in the ‘booty juice’, but I saw children fall to the floor the moment it was injected.”

At another school, she recalls being awakened in the middle of the night, assaulted, and then handcuffed when school staff arrived to take her away.

“I was fast asleep around 4:30 in the morning when my bedroom door slammed open.

A fat hand grabbed my ankle and dragged me off the mattress. I was instantly awake – hyper-awake – in a state of panic. I’m about to be raped. I’m about to be killed.

“A man pressed a sweaty palm over my mouth and jerked my head back. The other held up a pair of handcuffs.’

Hilton grew up in New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel with her parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, and her younger siblings, Nicky, Barron, and Conrad.

Her parents sent her to “therapeutic” boarding schools run by a company called CEDU when she was 15, after their attempts to punish her for slipping into nightclubs failed.

She attended four different CEDU branches before leaving at age 18.

She never told her parents about the abuse in the schools – she said staff threatened she would never be able to leave if she did.

Paris rose to fame in her early 20s thanks to starring alongside fellow socialite Nicole Richie on the hit TV series The Simple Life, in which the pair took on jobs such as serving at fast food restaurants.

She then started modeling after signing a contract with former US President Donald Trump’s agency, T Management.

Her fame reached another level when a sex tape leaked in 2004 featuring her and boyfriend Rick Salomon.

In a statement posted on its website in 2020, Provo Canyon school officials said the institution had a different owner prior to 2000 and “therefore cannot comment on operations or patient experiences prior to that time.”
