Paris Hilton has said that during her teens she was abducted and taken to a residential treatment center (RTC).
In her new essay, the now 42-year-old, has explained how she thought she would be raped or killed by men who took her from her home.
Back when Hilton was a 'struggling kid', her parents thought it would be a good idea to send her to therapeutic boarding school for teens.
The TV star claims that men dragged her from her bedroom to take her to the therapy center.

"I'm about to be raped. I'm about to be murdered," Hilton recalled in a new essay for The Times.
"One man clamped a sweaty palm over my mouth, wrenching my head back.
"The other held up a pair of handcuffs."
Despite the good intentions of the parents, the school was an abusive cult-like center, Hilton says.
At the school, she claims to have been subjected to an invasive cavity search and hours of screaming abuse by staff and patients.
Hilton also says she was forced to cuddle with abusers in a giant, forced snuggle puddle called "smooshing," which she was told was part of the therapeutic program.
"I mean, think about it: On the advice of a mental health professional, you send your struggling kid to this beautiful boarding school that costs a fortune," Hilton wrote. "When the kid tries to run away, do you believe the kid who's been royally pi**ing you off? Or do you believe the psychiatrist who says the kid is a crazy, incorrigible liar?"
After being transferred to another school, Hilton said abuse didn't go away.
"They took us to the infirmary and made us lie on the table," Hilton wrote.
"Made us open our legs for their stubby fingers. If we resisted, there was always a tray with syringes. I don't know what was in the 'booty juice,' but I saw kids hit the floor the moment it was injected."
The group which ran the schools stopped operating in 2005 after various allegations of abuse.
The media personality has since become an advocate of putting a stop to abusive RTC practices.
UNILAD has contacted the school and Paris Hilton for comment.
