Paris Hilton to Barbara Walters: “God Has Released Me”
After hearing that her mother, Kathy Hilton, was talking to Barbara Walters, Paris Hilton decided she wanted to speak for herself and made a collect call from jail to talk with Walters.
She sounded tired but totally aware of what she was saying.
“How are you?” I asked.Paris answered, “I’m hanging in there.” But she declared, “I feel as if I’m a different person. I’ve dropped my appeal. I don’t want to cause any more problems.”
I asked what happened in the jail that led to her being released or reassigned to her home. She said she had not been wailing, sobbing or screaming as had been described.
“But,” she said, “I was not eating or sleeping. I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage. I was not myself. It was a horrible experience.”
“How are you different?” I asked.
“I’m not the same person I was,” she said. “I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance.”
I asked what kinds of things she might want to do.
She said she would like to help in the fields of breast cancer — her grandmother had breast cancer — or multiple sclerosis. Her father’s mother suffers from that disease.
She thought she might get toy companies to build a kind of Paris Hilton playhouse, where sick children might come, and the toy companies could donate toys.
She has had a person whom she described as a spiritual adviser who said, “My spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail.”
“God,” she said, “has released me.”
Hilton goes on to say “I feel that the purpose of my life is to be where I am.” and “I will never again have a drink and drive.”
It will be very difficult to stay on track once she is released from jail and able to return to life in her privileged, celebrity bubble, however, I do indeed believe Paris is forever a changed woman, and I, for one, am pulling for her.
