The Real Reason Paris Hilton Chose A Surrogate To Have Her Kids

Paris Hilton’s life extends beyond the perceived glitz and glamour. Between the ages of 16 and 18, she was shipped off to different boarding schools and “treatment centers” for breaking many of her parents’ rules. “[I lost] the most important, most fun years of being a teenage girl,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

Hilton detailed that she suffered physical and verbal abuse during her time in said institutions. At Provo, a school based in Utah, she underwent shady medical exams and procedures that made her swear off childbirth entirely. She told Glamour UK, “I’m just so scared, I think, again, leading back to Provo of even being in a doctor’s office, just all of that. The shots, the IVs that they put in.” She also shared her experience on Twitter, saying: “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.’”

Her unpleasant experience witnessing childbirth in real-time when she was filming “The Simple Life” contributed to her fear, too. She recalled, “I had to be in a room when a woman was giving birth and that traumatized me as well. But I want a family so bad, it’s just the physical part of doing it. I’m just so scared… childbirth and death are the two things that scare me more than anything in the world.”
