Summary

"This is Paris” Director Alexandra Dean steps back Behind The Rope. We continue our conversation right where we left off (Part I of our sit down aired October 13th, 2020) discussing all things Paris. Alexandra lets us know the challenges of making a behind the scenes film while following Paris around the world to mass chaos and mayhem from Paris’ “Little Hiltons”. We discuss whether the psychological abuse and trauma that Paris endured from the Provo Canyon School was originally intended to be a part of the film. Alexandra explains how she got Paris to open up regarding this abuse, an issue which she has never publicly discussed prior to “This is Paris”. Alexandra discusses the involvement of both Kathy and Nicky Hilton Rothschild in the film and the noted absence of Rick Hilton. We also discuss the cameos from Kim Kardashian and Kyle Richards and why both of those women were necessary for this film. Alexandra fills us in on “secret” lost footage scenes that never made the film. On a more serious note, we discuss how this film was probably the best therapy Paris could have received for her childhood trauma and how Alexandra noticed a completely changed Paris by the end of their time working together. Finally, Paris and Alexandra are dedicated to the “Breaking Code Silence” cause which they are both actively involved in today. Tune in as our chat with “This is Paris” director Alexandra Dean concludes. @alexdeandirector @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
