According to new reports, Paris Hilton and Bhad Bhabie are teaming up
to spread awareness about the alleged abuse they faced at troubled teen camps.
Dr. Phil also responded to Danielle’s claims about the facility he sent her to. Let’s get into it.
If you’ve been keeping up with both Paris Hilton and Danielle
Bregoli AKA Bhad Bhabie over the past few months,
you know that they’ve both shared their negative experiences at troubled teen facilities in Utah.
Before we get into everything these two have said,
we wanted to issue a trigger warning that we’d be discussing serious topics like alleged abuse
and sexual assault. So please only continue watching if you feel comfortable doing so.
In Paris’ documentary that came out late last year,
she revealed the alleged abuse she faced at Provo Canyon School.
“All day long getting yelled at or hit. I felt like a lot of the people who worked there
got off on torturing children.”
Paris also recently testified in support of a Utah state bill
to ban mistreatment at youth facilities.
Earlier this week, Paris took to Instagram and wrote, “The #SB127 bill will protect thousands
of youth by banning cruel and unjust punishments, policies and treatment in youth facilities. I’m
so grateful to see change occurring in Utah, and this is just the beginning.”
And similarly, earlier this year Danielle Bregoli spoke out about what she claims
she experienced at Utah's Turn-About Ranch, another troubled teen facility.
Danielle says she was referred to this youth facility center by Dr. Phil
after she appeared on his show back in 2016 and Danielle alleged that there have been
instances of “sexual abuse,” “torture,” and even “murder” at Turn About Ranch.
“I’m not really sure why Dr. Phil still sends kids here it really doesn’t make
sense. Are you trying to help them or are you trying to hurt them even more?”
Danielle has continued to speak out about her experience and worked with Breaking Code Silence,
an organization that Paris has also worked with, to tell her story.
“These are documented things that are happening. The abuse, the malnourishing, physical abuse,
mental abuse, all that. And this place is still up and running. It just doesn’t make sense.”
And now TMZ is reporting that Danielle and Paris are planning on teaming up together
and with Breaking Code Silence to continue to spread awareness
about what they’ve experienced tat these types of facilities.
An insider told the outlet that Paris reached out to Danielle
via DMs shortly after she released her testimonial about what she went through.
It’s unclear exactly what Paris and Danielle’s plans are at the moment,
but Paris herself told TMZ that she fully has Danielle’s back.
Paris said quote, “I support all survivors who share their personal experiences within
the Troubled Teen Industry and I am proud of Danielle for using her voice and her platform.
It is wonderful to see more public voices take on this Industry."
Paris also said that she supports Danielle's efforts to encourage
Dr. Phil to stop sending kids to Turn About Ranch.
Paris added that quote, "People look up to Dr. Phil and I want to make sure the
show is accurately portraying these residential facilities to desperate
families and not continuing to spread the false narrative that these places heal kids."
Meanwhile, Dr. Phil responded to Danielle’s claims saying that if she has an issue with
her treatment at Turn-About, she should file a complaint with law enforcement.
“She went to Turn-About 4 or 5 years ago and if she had a bad experience
obviously I would hate that and would be sorry about that.”
He continued on saying that he’s not involved in what happens once the kids are at the facilities,
but as Danielle pointed out, Turn-About is still listed on his official website
under treatment resources, even after all the allegations against them.
“Whatever happens once they’re there, that’s been them and the facility.”
Dr. Phil also claims that he doesn’t get any feedback from
Turn About Ranch after he sends kids there...
But in a new YouTube video, Danielle claimed that this is not true and that her mom signed
release forms that would allow Dr. Phil to get progress reports on her during her time there.
Danielle called out Dr. Phil again, saying if he is telling the truth
and really doesn’t get feedback like she thought he was getting, maybe he should be.
“So if you’re saying you don’t have any feedback,
maybe you should be getting feedback about these places before you’re sending multiple
people’s f*cking kids here. You’re just trying to save your a*s. That’s all you’re trying to do.”
Dr. Phil hasn’t responded again to these claims and TMZ reports that Turn About Ranch
still hasn’t addressed Danielle’s allegations.
We will keep you guys posted if we hear how Danielle and Paris plan to
team up and continue to speak out on their troubling experiences.
