Paris Hilton testifies to Congress on being ‘sexually abused and force-fed meds’
The heiress said that she wasn’t allowed to ‘look out a window for two years’ as a child in a residential facility
First I've read about this with Paris Hilton. Some things are making so much more sense.
Yep. When I got out of bed this morning I would not have predicted this would be the day I'd have respect or sympathy for Paris Hilton.
“Ms Hilton, I first read about your story in Vanity Fair. I don’t usually read that magazine, my wife does. She told me, ‘You have to read this story. You won’t believe what happened to her,’” Representative Mike Kelly said. “You telling what happened to you...is absolutely incredible and opens up a whole new vision for the rest of us.”
Nice save there, Mike.
Well, if it's going to be the government of celebrity, maybe we can at least get some good done with it.
Do you want President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, cuz that's how we get President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
Yes, please!
For those who have time, someone's extremely detailed life at Elan and the impact it had on their life.
I read most of that (think I missed the last few chapters, but he was out of Elan and had done some traveling)--it was horrifying. There's also a 3 episode documentary on Netflix called "The Program" where the documentary maker revisits the now closed school where she went (The Academy at Ivy Ridge) and by episode 3, she's followed the money to one family behind a lot of these institutions. But as she and former AaIR students actually see other facilities far from where they were locked up, they're all carbon copies of each other, they're all just the same punish-for-everything camps with no escape. Fucked up that there's like a formal recipe for how to do this to families and not get caught. And that there are so few legal protections for children.
The podcaster host Brace Belden of TrueAnon was forced into The Monarch School as a teenager, which had a similar curriculum to Elan. His podcast takes some deep dives into the treatment of students as part of "The Game" miniseries. Episode 4, in particular, focuses on how the Synanon organization transforms itself from a cultish and violent drug rehab operation into an even more predatory troubled teen outreach organization.
The Monarch School
0% stealth.
Found that site at around chapter 30 or so. It's a damn good (and horrifying) read.
Yeah that’s one of the roughest reads of my life. Found it years back and oof. Important though
She is 43? The hell. I had no idea she was about my age.
Have the incels arrived or wtf are these comments here?
Didn't she run someone over?
I didn't recognize her without the trashy debutante look.
Sorry to hear this, though I'm glad she is handling it. However, she is still insufferable
It’s interesting how Lemmy wants the rich to get the guillotines. Then there’s this.
I want the rich to not be rich anymore, not for them to be killed. And I definitely don't want children of rich people to be abused, because child abuse is bad.
Exactly, I don’t want revenge I want a kind society of equals
Personally, I don't care if the rich stay rich. I want the rich to pay a proportionate amount of their wealth in taxes, equal to or maybe even a little more than the proportionate amount I pay as a non fecal dragon sitting atop the mountain of gold I've shit all over. I also want rich to stop staying rich because their parents and parents' parents (etc) were rich and paid to have the system rigged so their degenerate children can stay rich without merit.
who cares
