Paris Hilton reveals an eighth-grade teacher groomed and “kissed” her — and it’s taken “decades” to view herself as a “victim.”
In “Paris: The Memoir,” published Tuesday, the hotel heiress, 42, recalls a “handsome young” instructor she nicknamed “Mr. Abercrombie” telling her that he had a “crush” on her.
Hilton, who was in her early teens at the time, says the teacher then gave her his phone number and asked her to keep their contact a secret.
“Mr. Abercrombie called me almost every night, and we talked for hours about how amazingly mature, beautiful and intelligent I was, how sensual, misunderstood and special,” she writes.
The “Simple Life” star even claims that the teacher “reminded” her of the 13-year age difference between Princess Diana and Prince Charles and that Priscilla Presley was 14 when Elvis Presley “fell in love with her.”
“Mr. Abercrombie” eventually paid a secret visit to Paris’ home when her parents, Kathy Hilton and Rick Hilton, were out.
“Teacher pulled me into his arms and kissed me,” Paris writes, adding that her mom and dad caught them in his car upon returning to the house.
The DJ remembers “Mr. Abercrombie” blaming her, asking, “‘Why did you make me do this?’”
Paris writes that her parents sent her to France that summer to live with her grandmother, and she didn’t mentally confront the inappropriate relationship for many years.
“It took decades for me to actually speak the word pedophile,” the “Paris in Love” star notes.
“Casting him in the role of child molester meant casting myself in the role of victim, and I just couldn’t go there.”
Paris tackles her past just as candidly in the rest of her memoir, detailing being drugged and raped at age 15 as well as being pressured into filming a sex tape with Rick Salomon four years later.
News broke in June 2021 that the “Stars Are Blind” singer was writing a tell-all.
“The media has really controlled the story of me for over two decades, and it was just time now for me to tell the truth,” she told Forbes Monday of the release.
“I hope that people can understand me in ways they didn’t before and see that there’s so much more to me than they ever knew.”
