Dirty 2: Paris Hilton Details Abuse in Boarding School
This is the Mojo in the Morning podcast, powered by Michigan Auto Law, auto accident attorneys. This is autolaw.com. That's autolaw.com. Mojo in the morning's dirty on the 30. Oh guys, it's good to be back in our studio. We were out yesterday for the Rocket Mortgage Classic, which by the way kicks off today and goes through the weekend. It was fun to do a broadcast at a studio, but I just feel comforted in the studio. I don't know. I like get home. It's nice. It's like my bed. I like my bed the best. It's, you know, it's interesting. People have no idea like when we do these broadcasts, like literally we do them on a shoestring. You know, we're basically using like internet to broadcast and stuff and Shannon's like doing her audio and everything on her iPad. We're here. We got all this big equipment and stuff, but what do you got in this hours? So yesterday, Paris Hilton urged Congress to make some big changes to our nation's child welfare system describing her own mistreatment as a teenager in boarding schools. And I'm going to play you a good chunk of what she had to say because it is just fascinating and horrifying at the same time. When I was 16 years old, I was ripped from my bed in the middle of the night and transported across state lines to the first four youth residential treatment facilities. These programs promised healing, growth, and support, but instead did not allow me to speak move freely or even look out a window for two years. I was forced by medications and sexually abused by the staff. I was violently restrained and dragged down hallways, stripped naked and thrown into solitary confinement. My parents were completely deceived, lied to, and manipulated by this for-profit industry about the inhumane treatment I was experiencing. So if you're going, why didn't she just tell her parents what was happening as this was happening? In each of these facilities, she's had her phone calls were monitored. And so if she tried to even go there, there were repercussions and the repercussions were bad. And she's been very, very critical for a long time now about this industry. She calls it a tough love teen course correction business. It's boarding schools. It's boot camps. It's juvenile justice facilities. It's these behavior modification programs. And so what she is fighting for is greater protection for the kids in the care of these institutions, provisions contained in what's called the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act. So she, her parents, and I don't know the reason why I've never read any of her books or anything like that, but she, her parents put her in it. Like a boarding school. Not because they were just rich and wanted the kids to be raised by somebody else? No. It was a behavioral. So she was a problem kid that they wanted to try to, like it's- Not even really. She was. Really? So I'm not really sure. They talk about it. It's not a documentary. It's her new show. It's more like documentary-esque. And she addresses it with her mom a lot. And I really don't like Paris Hilton's mom because she doesn't take accountability for anything. And she's super dismissive. And every time she tries to bring it up, she'll be like, "Look at this person I bought." Or do you like the Chanel dress instead of saying, "I'm sorry that I did that." Yeah. Yeah. Like really rich people, they never raised their kids. Their kids were always raised by probably nannies and stuff. But a lot of them, their parents would do this where they would send them away to a boarding school or like one of these like high priced schools that were on the East Coast. And it's interesting that the parents should be as blamed as the institutions are as blamed for doing that, putting your kids in that place like that. We know it's bad when the headline on New York Post's page six this morning is, "Ben Affleck spotted wearing a wedding band." He was seen leaving his LA office, and yes, wedding ring was on. In the meantime, JLo currently over in Paris for Paris Fashion Week. So much speculation about the status of their marriage, but wedding rings are on. After Shia LaBeouf's ex-girlfriend, FKA Twigs wants him to pay her $10 million as part of a lawsuit in which she claims he gave her an STD. Twigs originally sued Shia in 2020, claiming she was the victim of relentless physical abuse, sexual battery, assault, infliction of emotional distress. And she alleged at that time that he gave her this STD. Well, in some new court documents, Shia's attorney is fighting back, claiming contrary to what FKA twigs alleges, she appears to have increased her profile in the years after her relationship with Shia and her career appears to be thriving. It's not about the career, it's about the STD. What is wrong with you? And I will... I will... I will sue people for STDs. Well, that's part of obviously the other claims that I listed there as well. Okay. Yeah. Ending with a feel good story has nothing to do with STDs. Hopefully. Okay, I don't know these people, but a regular guy named Paul Slobozdian has been working as a delivery driver like Dordash to save up for his wedding. I love this. So with every order that he delivered, he included a note explaining he was saving up for his wedding. That's why he has the second gig. And one customer just loved this, thought it was really sweet, made a tick-tock about it, which went viral, led to enough donations to pay for the entire wedding. Yeah. Wow. This is his bride-to-be-ally commenting on it. We didn't really expect anything to come up this, and the fact that a stranger got her note and felt so compelled to post on the internet and to advocate for two strangers is unbelievable. Isn't that cool? That is amazing. Dordash deliveries paid for their entire wedding. Love that. For all of today's "Dirty Ketchup" on the podcast on the free iHeartRadio app, Ermogedinthewinning.com.
