Paris Jackson had 'similar experiences' of abuse as Paris Hilton in school

Model Paris Jackson, daughter of late king of pop Michael Jackson and nurse Debbie Rowe, says she went through similar abuse at school as Paris Hilton.

Jackson attended a reformatory school in Utah and she shared that she identified with the treatment endured by Hilton, who recently testified in court about the physical and emotional abuse she suffered during her time at school.

"I went through some very, very similar experiences with those kind of teen places. She's been through a lot and it's amazing to see her come out of the other end... a diamond," Jackson told Hilton's mother Kathy for C Magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She shared that Hilton taught her the importance of empowering other women.
