1012 Paris Hilton: Dangers of Fame, Buil...

Lewis Howes
About this episode

“It’s exhausting having to pretend to be this Barbie Doll who has no brain all day long, when in the back of my mind I know exactly what’s happening.”

We all might think we know Paris Hilton, but for the first time ever, she's peeling back the layers from her carefully crafted persona. In the new documentary, "This Is Paris," she reveals that she was physically, verbally, and emotionally abused at a boarding school in her teens. And in this conversation with Lewis, she delves into the dark secrets from her past, explaining how the trauma affected her, why she kept it hidden for so long, and what she's done to start to heal.

They also discuss how Paris became the "OG influencer" and her thoughts on fame today, as well as the growth of her business empire.
