Paris Hilton disclosed a painful surrogacy explanation
One of the main reasons Paris Hilton decided to use a surrogate for the birth of her two children was due to the trauma she endured during her teenage years.
During an expansive interview with Romper, the socialite explained that she still has “so much PTSD from what [she] went through” at Utah’s Provo Canyon School for troubled youth.
“If I’m in a doctor’s office, I get a shot, anything, I will literally have a pаnic аttаck and I can’t breathe,” she told the outlet in an interview published Tuesday.
“I just knew that would not be healthy for me or the baby, growing inside of someone who has such high anxiety.”

In 2020, the socialite alleged that she had been physically, sexually, and emotionally abused during her nearly year-long stint at the school.
She claimed that part of the alleged abuse included nonconsensual gynecological examinations in which she was held down against her will.
The school has previously said they “do not condone or promote any form of abuse.” The school has since been acquired by a different company who said in a statement to Romper they cannot comment on prior “operations of student experience.”
The “Simple Life” star previously touched on her feаr of pregnancy during an interview with Glamour UK, saying that “deаth” and “childbirth” were the “two things that scаre [her] more than anything in the world.”
“I’m just so scаred,” she told the outlet at the time. “Leading back to Provo of even being in a doctor’s office, just all of that, the shots, the IVs that they put in.”

Aside from that, Hilton also told Romper that it would have been nearly impossible to manage her hectic work schedule along with the side effects of pregnancy.
“My schedule is out of control,” she told the outlet, noting that her days are often planned a year in advance.
“There never would’ve been the right time to do it because there’s literally no time to do anything in my life,” she said.
