Paris looks so sad and so pretty at the same time

It’s the eyelashes .... ;)

I feel like now is the time for Paris to leave the character she created and held on to behind. After watching the documentary, people will accept and support her true self.

[@abracadabra866]

But her buissness revolved around this image, so she also have to ditch everything she built so far because it is all "fake" the voice, outfit, interest... and I'm not sure that's what she want probably after her billion.

Lucia Sebo I agree and she is a grown woman now, this so good for her development.

[@clodflanderson]

That's her entire brand & after watching her documentary, she enjoys the character. We can still support her, she just needs people to support her choices because that's what she's lacked since childhood. Her parents chose to send her away instead of supporting her.

[@crystal1657]

TBH, and this is just my opinion. But it seems like she uses that personality as a comfort zone. You can see whenever she feels uncomfortable she uses her high pitched voice. Its like she understands that she is two different people but one is dealing with trama and the other is just a front to create a brand. The moment she decided to be a different person was in solitary and, it seems like that is where her second persona came from. She almost has to disassociate from herself. I don't think she will ever be whole herself until she feels secure enough to let the other persona go.

[@tigergreg8]

People are already accepting her as she really is.

[@AndersonKaryn]

Yes, interviews like this or deep talks are better without audience, but some other talkshows are a bit awkward without them, like Colbert report, latelateshow or conan where no one laughs and just weird pauses. They are still funny, i just miss the audience on the funny shows. I dont know how ellens show without audience is gonna play like, because of all the latest news, its going to feel a bit tense with no one laughing at her jokes, But drew's show is amazing like this

[@DReed1945]

When Paris uses her real voice, she’s opened her doors and allowed us to see her. Her voice goes up in pitch when she’s hiding something.

[@prettypumpkin6891]

I have a deeper, not really 'japanese' feminine voice. I hated it until one day I listened, really listened to Oprah and realized... a deep voice commands attention and respect. It just sounds more intelligent.

[@cake3291]

yeah, someone else mentioned they noticed she stop trying to get her serious message across when she realized Drew wasn't getting it. I think she uses her valley girl voice when she's acting, putting on her persona, for whatever reason - whether feeling uncomfortable and detaching, or simply working as "Paris." these things seem to go hand in hand. she talks sincerely about her movement, then switches to valley girl and treats it like any other pointless interview

[@anahata42]

No, they just changed topics... to something positive.

[@deannaw9128]

[@LordDirus007]

That's called Dissociative identity disorder. It's a Defense mechanism. I knew this girl like that. She would be sweet and articulate. However she would like flip a switch and turn into some Gangster Female. She was in and out of foster homes etc. Quite sad really.

[@BrandonNaatz]

As a huge fan of drew this is absolutely cringeworthy. She downplayed everything Paris said and rather than responding with NORMAL human emotion she disregards everything. Not ok!!! I’m glad Paris is standing up for herself.

[@bill_and_amanda]

As a survivor of one of these institutions, one of the most hurtful and pernicious things they do is convince parents and children that their "treatment" was necessary or even life-saving. As someone who has worked against these programs for almost 15 years (alongside wonderful people like Katie from the documentary), I see this "the program saved your life" refrain over and over. It's dismissive and minimizes the abuse that people like Paris suffered. This abuses serious and can have lifelong effects. I urge Drew to reconsider her attitudes towards these abusive and dangerous behavioral modification programs.

[@jamesziegenbalg7683]

[@SpiritArtLife]

[@DaughterOfWater9278]

Yeah, I watched Paris's documentary and I thought that it was very clear that Paris was traumatized from going to one of these programs. I don't know why Drew decided to ask her if going to this school has made a good impact on her because it did for her. I thought this question was really out of place.

[@jackio46]

I feel like during most of the interview Paris was very real, open and honest. But the second that Drew asked her about needing outside validation and social media, she put her walls back up and got in character as the Paris Hilton most people know. I still think it's a huge step just sharing what happened to her and allowing herself to become vulnerable to tell her story, that's a big deal.

[@aliazaluor2620]

Agreed 💜

[@aidasjournal]

I completely agree with you. And I am a survivor of physically and mentally abuse over many many many years too, so I see it in my own eyes too, in pictures etc. It is like I am smiling, but only with my mouth. And I am laughing when with friends and family etc BUT inside I am crying and even dying. Compared to Paris I am a poor nobody, eventhough I am not poor per definition, but I have never ever told anyone about my abuse. I’ve made appointments, but I always cancel them just one hour before I’m supposed to be there. And Norway have completely free healthcare so it is not that who is stopping me. I .. I just can’t talk about it. I just can not do it. BUT, Paris’ docu did something to me. So I dared myself to write this comment but this is as far as I’ve ever gone. And my abuse started when I was 3 yrs old and the physical abuse ended a few years ago but the mentally abuse is still going on. Maybe that is why I am so scared. They tried to convince me that I was crazy for many years too and someone is still doing that to me despite all the documentation from the psychiatrists and other doctors. They just wont accept it, the fact that I am not sick. I really do not know why I am such an easy target for emotionally and mentally abuse, and used to be for physical abuse too. Sexual abuse was the worst. Of the physical abuse. Omg I have said way too much. I hope none of them and ESPECIALLY ‘HIM’ sees this!!!!!!! Omg😳😳😱😱😱🥺🥺 But go Paris💖💖💖💖💖💖💖👱🏻‍♀️💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@jok.844]

@@aidasjournal I am so sorry to hear what you went through! You are so strong and brave to come forward and share your story here. You are someone special, sane, full of light and a warrior queen. Anyone else telling you something else just trying to silence and manipulate you. Please don't believe them. Believe that you are worthy and capable of finding a way out of the darkness. It will take time but there is light at the end of tunnel! I don't know how old you are and if you still have to live in this dangerous situation, but if so, try to find a trusted person, like a friend or public institution. If you go to a therapist you don't need to talk about the abuse but the therapist might help you to find a save strategy for your way out. If you can, move even in a different town, cut contact and start therapy to understand nothing ever was your fault and you don't fall back into their tricky mind traps. Understand that the people you try to convince that you are not insane, are not interested in that truth. You can't win their game. It is their strategy trying to keep you as victim and continue the abuse. And go to self defense classes. Start boxing, Krav Maga or jiu jitsu. It not only helps for the body but for the mind, giving you the strength to fight for your life. And don't feel pushed to talk about your experience. You are ready when you are. First make sure to create a save environment for yourself. Sending you all love, strength and power! You will get out of this! Take care, beautiful soul!

It’s important for survivors to feel like they’re not alone, and I think Drew did that for her. I speak from personal experiences. I would much rather be told of a persons similar experience while I’m sharing my own because it makes one feel more like a person and more understood, rather than just examined and looked at like a specimen, an animal in a zoo or an alien.

One thing I really dislike when telling my story is people who turn the conversation onto themselves. When you start talking about yourself it weakens the persons feeling. You are taking away the attention that that person needs to fully be heard. Never bring the conversation back to yourself when trying to help someone. Listen and don't try to relate. It isn't the time. Everyone needs time to talk and have someone listen.

I think most of the time when people share, piggy-backing off of another person’s story, I believe most of the time it’s just to relate-to bring one person closer to another. It’s also a very common action by autistic women/girls who just want to be accepted by their peers, and find something in common and latch on, not expecting to hurt or steal anyone else’s spotlight. At least I hope that’s the case!

[@humanoid2545]

Alot of "rich" children grow up to be homeless. Intances like this, their trauma is invalid growing up and have to deal with it in ways that aren't necessarily acceptable or healthy. Paris has always been brilliant women. Masking herself as a heiress because people accepted that part about her. and who doesn't need to be accepted? All while experiencing trauma simultaneously that's being treated as invalid. This has potential to open your eyes to people's values and perceptions. Perhaps change the pitch of your voice to cope. She's a goddess hero for having fun and utilizing her business mind. God has already been using Paris.

To me, Paris just seemed likely emotionally exhausted from discussing that part of her documentary at length...she might have wanted more focus on her being a businesswoman, etc.

[@mjade1673]

Its not a great tactic because its not universally effective. But some people do that as a way to help an emotionally distressed person to pull themselves out of their own head and pain for a moment. It works for me, so its natural when i do it out of good nature to attempt to help the person. Yes it backfires! Because it doesnt work for everyone. Yes the person taking that approach will have to learn. But i promise u its out of kindness and concern rather than anything else. If it were out of anything else you wouldnt see an emotionally intelligent, empathetic and compassionate person surrounding that behaviour. But we do , because Drew is those things. So its a mistep in tactics on her part but its very very unlikely to be out of disconcern or neglect or taking things for granted.

Hi Deb!

[@SunPortalMedia]

WTF??? This is probably the most undermining thing Drew could have done - never ever EVER speak to someone else's trauma by saying "I went through something similar and it was actually "good" for me." Drew's experience is completely irrelevant to Paris's and all the other people speaking out. And Drew is entitled to her own interpretation of her experience (of course), but if anyone is watching this who went to one of these schools or experienced something similar, I'm hear to tell you that NO ONE deserves this kind of treatment (solitary confinement, naked solitary confinement, being abducted from your bed in the middle of the night, being put in a straitjacket, sexual harassment by guards - all of these are described in the documentary btw). NO ONE deserves this and especially NOT KIDS. If kids are behaving out of control with drugs and alcohol, it's almost always (read: always) due to deep trauma -- abuse, degradation and imprisonment are NEVER the right response. We live in a disgusting fascist society that normalizes punishment and absolutely horrific abuses.

[@eraldadevole]

Everyone’s experience is different and if hers wasn’t like the one Paris had and she feels it helped her she has the right to say it sure but HOW and WHEN she said it was wrong and definitely not the right time, if you call it an interview about someone’s hard experience do that not a debate. At least if she really wanted to say it she should have worded it differently and not say I’ve been throught that too so this time it’s not just a usual interview bla bla letting someone believe they fully understand and to later say “hey mine was good wouldn’t change it”. I do agree with your comment though don’t get me wrong. Just because she is ok with it and has come out of it with no trauma(she acted like it but who knows) doesn’t make it ok in general or for others.

[@eraldadevole]

Also didn’t know she had a show and don’t really care but if I had to judge only by this interview it doesn’t seem a type of job made for her. Most if the interview was her talking and mostly about irrelevant stuff, very bad interview in my opinion

[@danielleengel9752]

I agree with you & I'm finding that in Drew Barrymore's interviews, she tends to hijack the conversation & talk about herself. Which is disappointing because I grew up liking her acting. I wish she would have let Paris speak more & I wish Drew had put the brakes on talking about herself the entire time. At the end of the interview I have no idea why Paris was there if she was promoting something or what her experience was or even what her book or movie or whatever is about. Very strange interview, it's almost like nobody is co-producing Drew's show. Nobody's advising her & redirecting her to stay on the subject's subject. Sad it had such potential. :(

Drew, My experiences were much different than yours. I was held for 13 months at 3 different places, 2 in Mexico and also in Jamaica. I suffered physical and emotional abuse. I was trafficked across international boundaries. I was denied food, water, and adequate shelter for months. My parents were swindled out of enough money to pay Ivy League tuition, and yet I was being held in a dog cage or locked in a gutted out bathroom hogtied. I was treated equivalent to a POW at Guantanomo Bay. You invalidated Paris's experience by implying that she only speaking out for the social media that follows. Believe me, our survivor community is one that I'm proud of, but not necessarily an easy path. We uphold and lift each other up, but we are bombarded with negativity from all angles. I hope you reflect on your own experience, and decide if your kidnapping and time in solitary confinement was actually beneficial, or if it harmed you in ways you haven't yet realized. Nobody deserves abuse. What our survivors endured, is considered cruel and unusual punishment in the penal system. Yet, it's deemed ok for a residential school for children. I was strong enough not to be broken, but there are broken pieces of me that I must pick up everyday. I now struggle with C-PTSD. I make it through each and every day anyway.

Drew was gaslighting Paris.

[@despres380]

she asked so the audience who hadn't watched it would know

[@lilithhecataniangoddessesm187]

Drew Barrymore was exactly like the prettiest girl back in my High School days, BEFORE I used to envy her physical beauty, she had that type of skin where she looks like she's wearing makeup she never dealt with pimples or dark circles the entire years of high school, her teeth were already perfect for braces, while I was getting bullied during those years for how I used to look, my teeth still needed braces and also I started making efforts such as putting a natural looking makeup covering up my dark circles *SHE SHAMED ME FOR IT AND EXPRESSED HOW IRRITATED SHE IS SAYING I ONLY CARE HOW I LOOK LIKE* when she even sees me trying my best to study, just because she has a HIGH I.Q and I am struggling with my LOWER I.Q that no matter what kind of study I do even with a tutor I still fail, I felt like every student's nightmares were being thrown to me, she even ask "Don't you ever care about your studies even just a bit?" I only gave her the death stare and did not answered her at all. I had a very strict narcissistic mother, while she had the kind of mother everyone wishes to have, I'd compare her mom with Regina George's mom, while my mother like the one who stole/adopted Rapunzel. So the girl had issues with me having problems with my own toxic mom, you know how a matured sister acts when her little sister misbehaves that's how she acted towards me for having issues with my toxic mom but in a bad way for my case, *ALSO SHE MADE FUN OF HOW I USED TO LOOK SHE TOLD ME WHEN WE GO OUT OF SCHOOL I WILL BE THE BEAUTIFUL CENTER OF ATTENTION IN A MEAN AND SARCASTIC WAY WHILE SHE IS LAUGHING HARD* she did it several times THEN AFTER HIGHSCHOOL, we never all met during college, but after college WE HAD A REUINION, my highschool teacher contacted me from Facebook to make a speech about my experiences, so I was optimistic to be there because I HAD A SUCCESSFUL COSMETIC SURGERY THAT GOT ME INTO MANY MODELINGS AGENCIES AND BEAUTY PAGEANTS WERE VERY KIND AND CONSIDERATE EVEN IF I TOLD THEM IT WAS COSMETIC SURGERY THEY STILL OFFERED TO JOIN, I BECAME ALSO SUCCESSFUL WITH MY ART SKILLS WHERE I GOT PROMOTED, so as I arrive I saw the girl again I dealt with along with our other classmates chit-chatting they all look at my NAME TAG that we all have for that reunion, so when she got the hint that I got a plastic surgery her reaction towards me looks irritated, you know when a dumb person makes a mistake at work and how a boss reacts that's how she reacted.Especially when I told to the speech about it but in the middle to the end of my speech I finally made her FEEL GUILTY while the rest including those who used to bully me, cheered and clapped for me as a job well done.

Did anyone else see the minute that Paris put up her wall with Drew in the interview? It was down for a while then it went right back up as Drew kept talking.

[@rndmkt]

Yup I think Paris gets use to put up a wall to protect herself.

[@jeremiously]

Yes I saw it. And I honestly think regardless what kind of school Drew went, that I think she either had different school or she has been programmed to excuse the abuse she got as "saving her life". That is f'd up. At least Paris was not excusing it. She didn't deserve the abuse and nobody does, forreal. NOBODY deserves abuse was it a child, adult or elder. That kinda thing is not going to "help" anybody.

[@chelevio8901]

Now watching it a second time and Paris' voice starts to change here. Then after Drew talks about the 'I Will Destroy You' documentary, and asks Paris "what is the new plan?" Paris' voice goes even further into baby-mode.

[@PeanutGallery89]

Well, she had to protect herself. Drew seemed really disconnected and dismissive of Paris's experience, despite the revelation that she had gone through a similar experience. Drew didn't seem to have any compassion regarding Paris's experience; therefore, it's not a surprise. I would have done the same.

[@PeanutGallery89]

@@chelevio8901 Seems like the baby voice is also a protective mechanism. Thats pretty upsetting to see her treated that way.

[@crystalmcculloch9083]

She goes in and out of her safe child like voice to her real voice. God bless her.

[@Ckawauchi35]

I used to not be able to stand her bc of all the crazy things she did like a lunatic, and she was everywhere. Then she disappeared. But she came back seeming so mature and mellowed, she even found an important issue to fight for bc of her own sad experience. She has earned my respect! She is nowhere like the Kardashians that she used to hang out with.

[@NessaRayGibson]

Whoa, Paris slipped into her baby voice at the end. That is quite telling.

[@MD-tt7zb]

What does it tell?

[@NessaRayGibson]

@@MD-tt7zb it's her defense mechanism when she doesn't feel heard. It's her way of shutting down.

[@MD-tt7zb]

@@NessaRayGibson Riiiight! And I bet you came up with that all by yourself, without anyone from her team telling you exactly that.

[@sammar77]

I agree

[@HairByReneeLLC]

Yes I felt an uncomfortable vibe from Paris at the end. In that moment, it was like Drew was seeking validation from Paris about the quality of interview (self-serving, selfish) instead of just keeping the focus on her guest (as most interviewers would do) and finishing on a strong note asking more about Paris or what she’s doing next.

[@jaekodama2145]

Who the hell approved this video? It's not even an interview, it's Drew talking about herself, admiting that the traumatic experiences were good for her (?!) and getting cool points for knowing Paris since they were kids. Ugh, I am so angry at Drew...

[@chaijm]

Drew's conversation is always a connection to the others heart. Beautiful soul!

[@vijairahaman100]

Paris is looking ridiculously beautiful. So Elegant, posed, and classy.

[@je2300]

Paris' facial expressions towards the end were like "I'm done with this interview"

[@waindubz]

Lol. 'loves it. But get me the hell outta here'

[@cherishmiller8117]

This interview was awful, Paris is trying to get her story heard, not Drew's. Drew basically made it all about her, and Paris was only being nice when she said her favorite interview cause she doesn't want to be rude and dismiss Drew's story 🙄 . Future reference when you have someone on your show, let them talk don't make it about you. You should have just finished the interview with how can I join your movement cause I'm a survivor too.

[@apc_46and28]

I could be wrong but I got the impression they were being ambiguous with Paris’ story because of the launch of her documentary.

[@henrycavill6404]

Hi, Cara Mia

[@halloweenheathen4394]

I think she was trying to make her feel comfortable.

[@carmellalegg4311]

Been where

[@christicrenshaw2772]

She was just trying to let her know she isn't alone and others have been in her shoes. She needs other people who have been through it. So i disagree with what you said

[@reneenayfabnaynay5679]

I have so much respect for this woman. She has her ish together, and is making millions!

[@MrCph2200]

“I just went straight into “Oh my god, I’ve been there too!” Yes, you did, Drew! And you never at any point stopped thinking about ONlY yourself during the WHOLE interview!! 😂

[@tinamcleod3928]

That’s exactly what I thought too.. Empathy is great..but hearing someone’s story without making it about you is another !

[@theuniverseisme432]

Self centered and ego driven
