The Provo Canyon School in Utah has officially shut down, bringing a sense of peace to Paris Hilton, who alleges she experienced abuse there as a teenager. The school's boys and girls campuses ceased operations on July 17, following the revocation of their licenses by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services two weeks prior.
Hilton, who detailed her alleged experiences in a 2020 documentary and subsequent statements, claimed she was sent to the facility in the mid-Nineties due to behavioral issues. She has alleged severe mistreatment, including beatings, prolonged solitary confinement, and questionable medical examinations performed by staff.
Following the release of her documentary, Hilton spearheaded a campaign for accountability. Her advocacy, alongside other survivors, has culminated in this closure. Hilton stated that the school's closing means no child will have to endure what she and others did, allowing her to finally feel peace after years of fighting.
