Last month Paris Hilton (41) could reveal that she and her husband Carter Reum (42) had become parents of a little boy.
– You are already loved more than words can express, she wrote on Twitter.
Now Hilton speaks out about the traumatic childhood in a new interview with Glamor Magazine.
The billionaire heiress reveals to the fashion magazine that she lost her virginity at the age of 15, without giving her consent.

At the time of the alleged rape, Hilton was living with her grandmother in Palm Springs. On the weekends, she went home to Los Angeles to see her friends, and to hang out at the Century City mall.
– We went there almost every weekend, it was our favorite thing to do. The older guys at the center just hung around the shops. We talked to them, and one day they invited us to their house to drink soft drinks, says the 42-year-old.
She remembers particularly well how he pressured her to drink the soda.
– I wasn’t drinking or anything at the time, but after only two sips I immediately started feeling dizzy.
– I don’t know what happened, but I guess I was drugged.
Hilton remembers waking up a few hours later, and her friends had left her. She knew right away that something had happened.
– I remember it. I imagine him, on top of me, covering my mouth. “You’re dreaming, you’re dreaming” he whispered in my ear.

– My God, Harvey Weinstein is so cool
Like many other women in Hollywood at the time, she had an unpleasant encounter with Harvey Weinstein. The two met during the Cannes Film Festival in 2000.
Hilton was 19, and Weinstein was 48.
The 19-year-old was having lunch with her then boyfriend, when Weinstein is said to have approached the lunch table and asked if she wanted to become an actress.
– I said: “Yes, I really want to be in a film”. I was a teenager, so I was impressed by him. I was like, “Oh my god, Harvey Weinstein is so cool!”
Weinstein is said to have invited the hotel heir up to his room to read the script.
– I just didn’t want to go, so I never went, says Hilton.
The following evening, both stars were at a gala, where the former director allegedly followed her to the toilets.
– Do you want to be a star?, he is said to have screamed at Hilton.
Weinstein allegedly tried to open the toilet door, and hammered and knocked without Hilton opening. The security guards reportedly had to carry him away from the women’s toilet while he was screaming.
– It scared me, she concludes.
