In a revealing 2017 interview, Paris discussed struggles that went far beyond the pressures normally associated with growing up famous.
She said she’d experienced severe depression and anxiety and disclosed that she’d been sexually assaulted by a stranger when she was 14.
She also revealed that she’d attempted suicide multiple times as a teenager.
Rather than hiding those chapters as her public career developed, Paris increasingly spoke about them.
Then, in January 2025, she revealed another part of her story.
She described herself publicly as an alcoholic and heroin addict while celebrating five years without drugs or alcohol.
