Paris Hilton is calling on President Joe Biden and Congress to take action against the “troubled teen industry.”
In an op-ed for The Washington Post published on Tuesday, the former "Simple Life" star made her biggest push yet by calling on the federal government to take action against a system that she said is still running rampant.
"When I was 16 years old, I was awakened one night by two men with handcuffs. They asked if I wanted to go ‘the easy way or the hard way’ before carrying me from my home as I screamed for help," she began. "I had no idea why or where I was being taken against my will. I soon learned I was being sent to hell."
The 40-year-old revealed she was subjected to a "parent-approved kidnapping" and noted that it is a practice that countless other teens undergo in the United States. The former reality TV-star-turned businesswoman shared that she believes her wealthy parents "fell for the misleading marketing of the ‘troubled teen industry’ while they were searching for solutions to her "rebellious behavior."
