Paris Hilton was pretty in pink when she stepped into Los Angeles’ famous open-air mall The Grove as she was seen for the first time since revealing she was sexually abused at boarding school.
The 41-year-old heiress was strolling through the upscale shopping center en route to an event held at the women’s clothing store Maje.
She slipped into a Little House On The Prairie chic print dress with a cut that emphasized her enviably petite frame.

The Simple Life reality star’s stylish ensemble featured a plunging neckline that hinted at just a trace of her cleavage.
Letting her signature platinum blonde hair flow out from under her white pageboy cap, she matched the hat with a pair of sunglasses.
Balancing expertly on a pair of white heels, she accessorized with a fuzzy pink handbag and softened her features with makeup.
Her latest glamorous outing comes just days after she attended a protest at the Utah boarding school she was shipped off to as a rebellious teenager.

Over the last couple of years Paris has alleged that she was ‘verbally, mentally and physically abused’ at Provo Canyon School.
She claimed in her 2020 documentary This Is Paris that her parents had her torn from her bed at night and packed off to Provo.
The school has responded to the allegations with a statement saying in part: ‘Please note that PCS was sold by its previous ownership in August 2000. We therefore cannot comment on the operations or patient experience prior to that time.’

What if: The Simple Life star shared that she wanted ‘probably two or three’ children ‘and I would want twins first – or I don’t know, it’s hard to say’
Undeterred, Paris attended a protest near the school over the weekend and held up a sign that demanded: ‘SHUT DOWN PROVO.’
She 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 boarding school for troubled teens in the 1990s.
The reality star said her childhood was ‘stolen’ by the alleged abuse at Provo Canyon School where she spent 11 months when she was 17 years old.
Speaking to the New York Times, Paris, who has campaigned to regulate ‘troubled teen centers’ since initially going public in 2020 with alleged physical and mental abuse incidents at the school in 2020, said she had tried to ‘black out’ the reported incidents.

She said: ‘Very late at night – this would be around three or four in the morning – they would take myself and other girls into this room, and they would perform medical exams.
‘This wasn’t even with a doctor. It was with a couple different staff members, where they would have us lay on the table and put their fingers inside of us. And I don’t know what they were doing, but it was definitely not a doctor and it was really scary
‘It was really scary, and it’s something that I really had blocked out for many years. But it’s coming back all the time now, and I think about it. And now, looking back as an adult, that was definitely sexual abuse.’
Paris further detailed the alleged incidents on Twitter, writing: ‘Sleep-deprived & heavily medicated, I didn’t understand what was happening.

‘I was forced to lie on a padded table, spread my legs & submit to cervical exams. I cried while they held me down & said,”No!” They just said, “Shut up. Be quiet. Stop struggling or you’ll go to Obs.”‘
‘It’s important to open up about these painful moments so I can heal & help put an end to this abuse.
‘This was a recurring experience not only for me but for other #survivors. I was violated & I am crying as I type this because no one, especially a child, should be sexually abused. My childhood was stolen from me & it kills me this is still happening to other innocent children.’
She tweeted Universal Health Services, who purchased Provo Canyon School in 2000, the year after her alleged abuse, urging them to shut down the center.
She wrote: ‘Stop prioritizing profit over people @UHS_Inc. I demand you take immediate action starting by shutting down Provo Canyon School by April 1st, 2023.
‘“END CHILD ABUSE AT UHS” or retweet if you agree. #ShutDownPCS #UHSTakeAction #EndChildAbuse

Paris, who is the eldest of four siblings and has already had eggs extracted for IVF, dished: ‘Like I always wish I had an older brother, ’cause I feel like if I did they would protect me and things like that…in school. So maybe a boy first.’
