Paris
Hilton
visited
the
White
House
on
May
10
for
another
meeting
to
advocate
for
the
teens
living
in
congregate
care
facilities
such
as
Utah’s
Provo
Canyon
School,
which
she
was
sent
to
at
the
age
of
16.
The
hotel
heiress,
reality
star,
and
DJ
looked
well
put
together
and
determined
as
she
entered
the
West
Wing
dressed
in
matching
black
trousers
and
blazer
set.
Hilton
was
spotted
by
the
paparazzi
wearing
a
black
blouse
underneath
the
blazer
that
was
embellished
with
a
thick,
white-outlined
black
bow
that
sat
at
the
centre
of
her
neckline.
It
must
be
noted
that
she
was
accompanied
by
her
husband
Carter
Reum.
Paris
posed
for
the
shutterbugs
before
entering
the
building
but
refrained
from
answering
any
questions
from
the
media.
However,
a
White
House
official
was
quoted
by
CNN
as
saying,
“She
met
with
state
and
national
advocates
as
part
of
her
advocacy
efforts
to
improve
protections
of
youth
in
residential
programs
and
facilities.”
They
added
that
Paris
along
with
the
policy
staff
and
others
opened
up
about
similar
unfair
treatment
they
endured
at
these
facilities
and
“shared
their
powerful
stories
and
discussed
issues
pertinent
to
the
protection
of
institutionalized
youth
in
America.”
For
the
unversed,
Paris
was
taken
to
Provo
Canyon
School
in
the
middle
of
the
night
when
she
was
a
teen
and
had
no
idea
what
was
going
on.
Hilton
had
opened
up
about
it
in
an
opinion
piece
she
wrote
in
October
2021
for
The
Washington
Post.
She
claimed,
“At
all
four
facilities
I
was
sent
to
in
my
teens,
I
endured
physical
and
psychological
abuse
by
staff:
I
was
choked,
slapped
across
the
face,
spied
on
while
showering
and
deprived
of
sleep.
I
was
called
vulgar
names
and
forced
to
take
medication
without
a
diagnosis."
Paris
had
never
spoken
about
the
trauma
she
endured
up
until
2021
and
then
finally
opened
up
about
her
experience
in
her
YouTube
Originals
documentary,
This
Is
Paris,
which
debuted
in
September
last
year.
