In fact, the doc not only captured one of their first-ever conversations about it, but it also featured Kathy learning about some of what Paris said she went through for the first time ever. She had never opened up to her about these alleged experiences before filming for the documentary. These stories, at least in part, played heavily into Paris' reluctance to have her mother see the film. You know, you feel kind of ashamed."Īs shown in "This Is Paris," Paris' claims about the Provo Canyon School in Utah were backed up by similar accounts from her former roommate and classmates, who all reconnected as they reflect on their shared trauma. And then finally that they talked about it. She continued, "We were told, in fact, - I found out after this came out - there's people that you and I both know that have had these problems or sent their child to the school. It was handled extremely professionally."
And we had met with school placement people.
And we finally had to send her and we'd gone and visited. "I'm literally saying to myself, 'What do we do? Move to Mars? What are we gonna do?'. "I was ready for the booby hatch," she explained. Everything else was business."Īt the time, Kathy said she felt "helpless," adding that she and Rick ultimately decided to send Paris to Provo Canyon School. I mean, you only saw 20 minutes basically of that entire chunk of her life.
I thought, 'Gotta keep her away from the city and all these predators and people that want her to model.' It was just, she escaped everywhere. And so we put her in this boarding school, this one, this one. She was sneaking out and sometimes didn't come back home for three days. You know, we were trying to save Paris," she continued. "But it put me into such a depression that I mean, a lot of people understood that trying to help our daughter. And just the energy that I was feeling from her and how relieved and happy that she was that I would watch it." We held hands for an hour watching this thing. "So when we got back, I did watch it and we held hands and I could see how important. "I mean, I said to her finally like a few weeks ago, and then when I went to Washington with her, I said, 'I'm still not ready to watch it,'" Kathy recalled to Andy. In late October, Paris visited Capitol Hill to advocate for troubled teen care reform, speaking in favor of legislation that would create protections for youth in congregate care facilities, while also sharing her experience at the Utah private school.

"It was too much after just watching a lot of the little clips, you know, the promos and trailers. "Outside, we did a big screen," Kathy recalled. The reality star added that she threw a release party for Paris when the documentary was released but admitted that she couldn't bear to watch it at the time.
